Budget Making Most Vital
 Question, Says M lSs Palmer

One of the subjects which is of vital interest to the women these days is that of budget making for the home This subject is now being stressed in teach ing home economies, both in colleges and high schools.
 Miss Stella Palmer is much interested in the subject and has made more than casual study of it.
 Miss Palmer is an Alabama woman, having graduated from our state uni versity, Alabama Technical Institution and College for Women, as well as Co., lumbia University. and is thus we'll versed and eager to give those who have ont had such advantages the benefit of her experiences. Miss Palmer recently delivered an address before tn woman s apartment of the international good roads convention held in Hot Springs along the lines of budget making, which has been the source of much discussion since.
 The address in part is as follows:
 Ut has been said that national economy is home economy multiplied many-fold, and one of the important ways of reach ing and grappling with the stupendous problem of the H. c. l.. is to attack the home expenditures. We need women who know not only how to live within their incomes, but also how to divide them so that they will get the most out of life according to the various phases as we are accustomed to analyze them, namely: (a) food, (b) clothing, Co shelter, (d) higher life, and (e) savings.
 I have been asked to speak on house. hold management with especial empha- sis on budget making or the spending of the income. Since I am a teacher I believe that the only way that this prob lem can be solved is to have it taught to all of the children as part of their public education. We must teach it to all of our girls.
 The plan that expect to discuss is the plan that have in mind that should be taught to the students of Home Eco monies in the high schools.
 Handling the family income has al- ways had the possibilities of misunder- standings and friction in families, so there should be worked out some plan whereby there can be some equitable di- vision of the income. Formerly this plan was worked out very simply. Some eco- nomists, for example. took the average incomes of families living under certain conditions and found that they were spending within definite limits thus and so, for clothing, etc. They worked this

Women Interested in Fair;
 AttrdctiDe Prizes Offered

Even in the midsummer our thoughts turn to the fall and the activities of the women in those days. The clubwomen are beginning to send out their new year books and the other plans are being worked out and the busy housewife i; thinking of what she will send to the fair in October. The catalogue is in the hands If the printer, but Mrs. Augusta R. Reid, the superintendent of the women's de- partment and her assistant, Mrs. M. M. Grant, are eager for the women to know just what prizes will be offered and tell them of the work to be exhibited for the prizes.
 Mrs Reid says that she agreed with Ebert Hubbard when he said
 'Industrialism, as it changes and bot ters human environment, is the true civil izing agent"
 An interesting plan has been arranged for the Women's building, and each day will be filled with features and sur prises.
 Monday, October 4, will be Blue Rib bon day.
 Tuesday. october 5 Birmingham Prod ucts day.
 Wednesday, October G. Cut Flower day.
 Thursday, October ', Clubwomans day.
 Friday, October 8, Baby Show day.
 The Fortnightly Shakespeare Club of ,rast Lake will be the hostess club dur ing the fair.
 Exhibitors are urged to read the fol- lowing rules carefully and to observe them consistently:
 l. Exhibits will be received beginnin g Wednesday, September p, and all ex- hhits must be delivered to this depart ment before noon of Friday, October l, or they will not be received for exhibit.
 g. All articles for exhibition must be strictly homemade and the handiwork of the exhibitor.
 g. The exhibition will be confined ex- clusively to such articles for which prizes are offered.
 4 The work accepted for the exhibi- tion must be new, never before entered for competition.
 B. Each exhibitor will be given a num- bered coupon which must be retained and presented to the department at the close of the fair in order to receive cor responding number attached to the ex- hibit.
 6. All expenses of delivering the ex- hibits to and from the fair must be borne by the exhibitor.
 T. The fair association will not be re- sponsible for loss or breakage. but every precaution will be exercised to protect exhibits.
 S. Premiums awarded under these rules will be paid in full. Where there is no competition, the judges shah have authority to recommend award ing of prizes according to workman ship.
 g. Premiums will be paid by check. which will be mailed to successful ex- hibitors after the close of the fair.

out on the percentage basis and gave out as advice to the families receiving an income of like proportions that a certain per cent should be spent for food an other for clothing, another for shelter, etc. This seemed very simple and easy but the trouble was it didn't work, and as the value of the purchasing power of the dollar changed the percentage be- come even more ridiculous How then do We plan our divisions today?

Three More Russian Autops;es

The Russian autopsy continues,
and three more doctors have testified.
They are II. G. Wells, writer
whose radical proclivties are we'll
known; Maxim Gorky, the Russian
novelist, who has tried hard to sup
port Bolshcvism, and NJ. Preobra-
shenky, the secretary Of the Russian
Communist party and heretofore a
follower of Lenine.
Mr.. Wells finds Russia, or at least
Petrograd, a vast cemetery. It's
population has decreased from 2.OOO.-
600 to 100000. It's death rate is
81 per 1000 and the birth rate is
Is per 1000. Its wooden buildings
have been torn down for fuel. Star
walton is everywhere. What food
there is is monopolized by a small
class of Bolshevist adherents.
Gorky, taking the general misery
as matter of course, indicts Lenine
in personal letter for jailing Rus
sias few remaining men of science.
The cold materialism of Lenine's
Marxism has throttled Russa's
spiritual forces, and now he strikes
at Russia's brain.
The accusation Of the secretary
Of the Communist party is that
Bolshcvism, as practiced, has be-
come an aristocracy. It's leaders
have established a new order Of no.
bility. There are the beginnings of
court. In other words, class rule
in Russia is showing the results that
class rule always shows.
In one respect the testimony Of
Mr.. Wells reveals bias. He traces the
miseries Of Russia to the old regime
and to the war, and thus partly re-
lleves the Bolsheviki of response
hility. Czarism was vicious but un-
der it there were freedom and plenty
compared with the present. The
way made heavy demands on Russia,
but her territory was little touched
she suffered little in comparison
with Serbia, Rumania, Poland,
France, Italy or even Great Britain
The principal cause Of her troubles
is not the war, but Bolshevism. Ii
she had stuck to her allies and trieu
democracy instead Of Bolshevism the
war would more quickly have been
over and Russia's reconstruction
would now be far advanced.
One Of the strange intellectual
manifestations of our times is the
indisposition of men of intelligence,
like Mr.. Wells, who boast that they
look at social facts scientifically, to
acknowledge the plain fact that the
Russian internal economic break
down began when Russia abandoned
capitalism and substituted socialism.
New-York tribune., 1920-11-09
Foch and the Treaty

Andre .Tardieu didn't get far try
ing to make Marshal Foch a scape-
goat for the faults of the peace.
France realizes now that she got out
Of the settlement mostly promissory
notes of dubious value. She has
turned against the peace makers.
Tardieu seeks to shift some of the
blame to Foch by claiming that the
latter didn't make the armistice
terms sufficiently drastic.
In his recent article in ILLUS
tration Tardieu says that both
Clemenceau and General Bliss
thought the armistice too generous
to Germany. He intimates that
this generosity prejudiced the i'm
position of harder terms in the
treaty. There is no logic in this
claim. The purpose Of the armistice
agreement was to put Germany out
of the war by making it impossible
for her to renew hostilites. The
terms fixed fulfilled that purpose.
Germany admitted defeat and lay at
the mercy Of the conquerors. When
the peace conference met it was alb
solutesc free to impose it's will, so
far as Germany's power of resis-
tance was concerned. On November
II, 1918, Foch said to Clemenceau:
You can make any peace you like.
| am in a position to enforce it,"
That was all anybody could have
asked of the armistice. If from the
French point Of view the peace
settlement was muddled no blame
attaches to Foch. He even went so
far beyond his functions as chief
military adviser of the government
as to make public opposition to
Clemenceau's Eastern frontier pol
icy. He put his views in writing
for the benefit Of the French dele
cation after Clemenceau had re-
fused to listen to him. He also
spoke his mind in the newspapers.
Clemenceau was furious. But he
couldn't get rid of Foch entirely.
The day before the treaty was
signed the Marshal protested
against its insuf1iciency He said
he wouldn't go to the Versailles
ceremony, but afterward reented.
His record is clear from start to
finish. But his realistic judgments
weren't palatable to the peace con-
ference politicians. The F%ench
now see that Foch was right and
Clemenceau was wrong The Gle
menceau guarantees are ilusory. The
Foch guarantees could never have
been dissolved into thin air.
Tardieu has uncovered an in
teresting chapter Of war history
But the facts dscomfit him and
Clemenceau. not Foch.
New-York tribune., 1920-11-09

nothing of the statuesque about most
writers or their costumes or their
habitat.
At least sense is being shown in
the selection Of a site-in Lincoln
Park near the animal house, where
children gather daily. But we can
not help wishing that some other
conception than a statue had been
sought There is, for instance, a
movement afoot in England to-day
to make children's library Of David
Copperfeld's housc-an ideal me-
mortal, that could be equaled only
by the most exceptional statue. Of
course, such peculiarly fitting, exist
ing structures are hard to find. But
there are surely buildings which
might be erected wherein children
would assemble joyfully and of
which a memorial tablet would be
distinctive part.
A pond for boats to sail in, play
ground, a children's library, a play
house, even an animal building,
seems to US more appropriate than
chilly, heavy replica of this friend
Of children who never posed, and
whose touch was always lighter than
a dancing child.
