of the most atrocious crimes involving reasonable purposes ever perpetrated in the history of our country. Mooney and his associates evidently were in sympathy with Germany's. agents, who were resorting to every desperate meas ure to thwart preparedness of the American nation for war"
 The governor is convinced of Moo- ney's guilt i'll spite of the fact that the trial judge believes he should have an- other trial; despite the perjured testi- mony of the scoundre1 Oxman and some creatures of the underworld; despite the report of an investigation by com mittee of the department of labor, which reported gross unfairness in the trial, and in spite of the revelations made by MT. Densmore, of the department of labor, who trapped the notorious Flick ert by placing dictaphone in the lat ter's office
 All this is swept aside by the gover- nor, giving no reason why these facts are ignored in his letter regarding this case. The reference to "Germany's agents" in connection with the Mooney case seems to be an afterthought, as there was no evidence presented in the trial to warrant this assumption.

Handling the Household Income
-By 6. AGNES DoNHAM-- WHY KEEP HOUSEHOLD ACCOUNTS 3

"No, I kept accounts for years and it never amounted to anything ex- cept work for me, now I am through -I know what I receive, I know what I have left, and so I know what must have spent-that Is enough for me"
 A characteristic reply to a casual question. But, stop and think What might have resulted from keeping accounts-not what did, but what ought to have resulted?
 Did you ever wonder at the end of the day when all your money had gone? Were you ever haunted by the idea that some of it must have been lost from your purse?
 Jotting down expenditures for the day relieves your mind-you know, instead of wondering. The satisfac- tion at the end of the month is just as great you know you have not lost anything. You can see where you stand
 Have you ever wondered what you paid for clothing or furniture which seemed to be wearing out too soon?

TRAINING EMPLOYEs.
Special Courses Available for All
 at PC Plant.

One of the most interesting announce ments in labor circles recently IS that from the management of The Proctor & Gamble Company regarding the in auguration of special training courses for it's workers.
 Any department of the Proctor & Gamble factory which desires a special course of technical training in its work may have such a course, providing 1t can present Is enro1lmerts.
 Last month, class Ill boiler firing was organized for the men of the three boiler houses at the 1vorydale plant. MT. C. A. Joerger, boiler expert of the University of Cincinnati, is the instruct or of the class Mr. Joerger conducts two classes on Thursday of each week one course for the benefit of the men on the } to II o'clock shift, and the other for those on the to o'clock shift.
 The men are greatly enthused over the new class and the attendance has been remarkable. Other classes will be started just as rapidly as applicants and enro1lments from departments are received by the management.
 This IS an entirely new idea III factory management and one that will result in great benefit both to the company and to the men employed. It will make more valuable workers, enabling men to ad- vance rapidly into better paying posi- tions.
 The Proctor & Gamble training courses are not mere lectures, but are definitely planned courses of study, con- ducted in each case by a professional instructor.

pay any price for their clothing re- gardless of what their income may be.
 AS an example, the case in Connec- ticut where girls earning not over $15 week paid $500 for fur coats fully illustrates the reckless extravagance on the part of certain women.
 Teaching Wise Buying
 The Savings Division of the Treas ury Department is not attempting to discourage sensible buying. It is try ing to teach a woman to spend ac- cording to her income. Not only will she benefit from such action, but the high prices of certain articles of mer- chandise will surely decrease if the women refuse to pay such outlandish prices for them.
 For the purpose of picturing a strik ing illustration of the difference be- tween extravagant speedy spending" and careful, conscientious buying" the above pictures were posed in leading Boston department store es- pecially for the savings division, First Federal Reserve District. Neither out fit is exaggerated, both are taken from regular stock and the prices given are correct, and each article can be duplicated at the cost named, Other stores in Boston and elsewhere could make similar comparisons.

 No doubt one after a careful study of the pictures could pick out the model attired in the most expensive costume, but after careful consider ation would one pay a difference of $422,65 for the higher priced outfit? No sensible woman would

Let the woman who is about to pur- chase wearing apparel or other mer- chandise make careful study of her needs, then taking into consideration her income, she can after due deiiber- ation determine just how much money she can afford for such expenditures. The woman who does this will be able to save money despite the pres ent high prices. If she invests these savings in such government securities as War Savings Stamps and Treasury Savings Certificates she will have i'm vested money for future needs.

In the home, at the club and in fact wherever women con- gregate the question of the high cost of clothing is always sure to come in for a goodly amount of comment.
 ''It isn't possible to secure stylish clothing unless you pay an exorbitant price for it", one woman will say.
 Another will chime in and collaborate her sister. saying, "It's just terrible the way the stores are boosting up the prices of clothing.
 OTHER SIDE OF STORY
 But how about the other side of the story? Are all women of the op1n- ion that they cannot secure stylish and serviceable merchandise at a medium cost despite the present high prices? They are not. There are many women-and they are of the sensible type, who are always conced- ed to be neatly dressed and who in spite of the present high prces have proved by practise that they can se- cure, by wise buying, stylish and ser viceable merchandise at moderate prices.
 : To prove that it is possible for a woman to dress in these times at a moderate cost the savings division of the Treasury Department through the cooperation of department stores and it's many field workers have made a thorough investigation of the prob lens which confront the woman buy CT of clothes in these days of high prices.
 The findings of this investigation show that despite the high cost of living, women can, if they use good discretion in selecting their clothing, secure stylish, serviceable merchan- disc at a moderate cost
 Of course it must be conceded that because of this period of reconsruc- tion a woman will necessarily have to pay more for her clothing than she did before the war. However, it IS also brought out in this investigation that one reason for the real" high prices of some merchandise existing at the present time are the result of the willingness of certain women to

Do you know what your careless. useless expenditures amounted to last year? What could be omitted and still provide a comfortable happy life for your family
 Accounts should tell you six facts. when. whence and what you re- ce1ved, and when, where and for what you spend. They are of no use unless approximately accurate. and simple enough to be easily un- derstood by third party. You will then be able to understand them yourself six months later. They are useless unless compared with a plan for spending and used as a basis for rebuilding that plan
 Each month and year the total amounts should be easily available for comparison with the totals of other months and years.
 Accounts should not be a bugbear They should consume only a mini mum amount of time m for this reason it is necessary to choose a simple system adopted to your in dividual needs.

 What About the Technical Professor?
 The war showed the country what technical professors were worth. They were invaluable at the front, in Chem fcal Warfare Service, in the indus tries behind the lines. American in dustry began bidding eagerly for their services, offering two and three times the salaries paid by schools and col leges. Most professors would prefer to teach, but cannot afford 1t under present conditions. If professors sal aries at M. I. T. dc not go up, only inferior men will be left to train our future technical experts.
