FAMILY BUDGET.
URGED FOR
THRIFT
Day Is Devoted to Talks on
Necessity of Personal
Bookkeeping.

Budget Day is being celebrated in
the Thrift Week campaign. Budget

GUS banks and offices of the Thrift
Week committee.

e. c. Graham, member Of the
Board Of Education, and chairman
OF the Thrift Week budget day
committee, declared that a major
ity of business concerns which 20
bankrupt keep no books Of account.
1T Is automatic that slipshod book
keeping methods and commercial
failures go hand in hand" Mr..
Graham said.
1T isn't necessary to keep an
expensive set Of books in order to
get ahead. Just a simple little mem
orandum will suffice. Then put
into 1t faithfully the amount OF
your earnings and the items Of
your expense. At least once a week
strike q balance and see If the fig
ures coincide with the cash in
your pocket"

Wrong Mental Attitude;
HosD We Get That Way

The Boss had Just taken his head
off when the telephone on his desk
rang. Now he could let off steam!
The Old Man thought he could call
fellow down just for being late in the
morning, did he And the whole Office
laughing behind its hand! Well, it
was as much as his job was worth to
answer back the Old Man-but anyone
who was fool enough to telephone at
that particular moment would get
what was coming to him! Then he
heard his wifes voice.
I'm very busy make it snappy,"
was his first response. Then: "Stop
on the way home for the meat? Con
found it. | wish you'd run the house
without making me errand boy! Can't
you do it by yourself? What! What
Hello She's rung off. Now
shes mad, | suppose"
And after that remorse set in. AS
he turned the corner to his own door
a florists sign caught his eye: Say
it with flowers" Why not, he thought
to himself. For a dollar--no, fifty
cents-he could smooth things over
and life would be comfortable again.
How he did hate upsets! And today
had been nothing but upsets.
Then the florist began it all again
No, he could not give the gentleman
dozen red roses for half a dollar
in fact, the roses were 70 cents apiece
No, violets cost even more. But he
had some pink carnations that weren't
quite fresh-that is, not as fresh as
the other tlowers-the gentleman could
have those at his price. And the
gentleman took them all done up in
Il box with lot of asparagus.
His latch key was out half way up
the steps and he sailed in as if moth
ing had happened-that was the best
tactics, he told himself-and, with the
smile of conscious virtue, he presented
the gloritied package without a word.
But wife had known him for five years
and she opened the offering with res
ervations And when she thanked him
he suddenly began to wonder if she
had perhaps seen his pink carnations
on her way to market every day for Il
week. But then it was too late.
How do we get that way? This Is
the mental attitude that puts new
coat of white paint on a house that
needs to have its foundations re-

Analyze Flowing Gas

Determination of the amount of car
bon dioXide gas in the tiue gases from
blast furnaces is an important method
of furnace control, but 1t has al
ways been difficult job to get sam
pies of the hot gases for analysis. A
German firm has now invented meth
cd Of using electricity to make con-
tinuous analyses of the flowing gas.
Different gases have differing powers
of heat transmission. Electrically
heated wires are passed through an
air chamber and through one filed
with flue gases. Electrical resistance
Of the wires changes with the temper
allure, and since the relative heat losses
measure the amount of carbon dioXide
in the flue gas, that percentage can
be easily measured by determination
of the electrical resistance.

New Arctic Expedition

An Arctic expedition largely under
taken by oxford university, England,
is about to start. on an exploration
of north Eastland, large island, 90
miles square, which lies to the north
east Of Spitzenbergen. Two previous
attempts have been made to explore
it. The first in 1878 was by the Nor
wegian Nordenstliold, and was only
partly successful. A German eXpedi-
ton in 1912 persisted in the attempt.
A specially designed seaplane will be
used. 1t will have a closed cabin,
carry collapsible boat, and be
equipped with floats so designed that
landing may be made on the ice. The
plane will be provisioned for five
weeks. The main equipment of the
expedition will be carried in two yes
sells, one a 30O-ton Norwegian whaler,
the other small Norwegian sealing
sloop. The expedition will be led by
George Binney. leader Of last years

Great Painters Used
Eggs to Mix Colors

Many pictures which pass as oil
paintings were not done with oil at
all according to the directors of the
Foss Art museum at Harvard. AS
early as the Twelfth century eggs
were used for mixing paint in Italy
and for hundreds Of years painters all
over Europe did their work with pig
mGnts so made.
The white of the eggs replaced
vegetable gums as binding me-
dunn for many of the pigments; often
the white and yolk We're mixed with
water and fig juice, forming a tenn
pera, from which fine colors were
ground and laid on white plaster-cov-
cred surfaces
In the perfection of the art the yolk
alone was used, and the quality Of
that article was closely examined. A
manuscript from the Fifteenth CEN
fury, directs that for the faces of
young people you shall use the yolk
of TIE egg of city hen, as it is light
err and less red in color than the yolk
of the egg of country hen"
The rivalry between city and coun-
Italy is said to have been intense.
During the intervening centuries this
has fallen of greatly, owing to inter-
marriage, ana the joint descendants
of those early families now unite en-
Enthusiastically in welcoming American
tourists to the scenes of their ances-
tors trumphs.
The white of an egg was used for
gliding to hold the gold-leaf on pan
els and frames. The yolk and white
were often mixed with colors for put
ting the finishing touches on frescc
paintings. Mixture of egg, oil and
varnish were used in glass painting
the women of the Renaissance favored
the use of egg in the decoration OF
! their dresses, and painting with egg
adorned the finest furniture.
1t is said that in Russia the use OF
eggs persisted long after the introduc
ton of oil, as ii was considered more
appropriate to the representation OF
the Trinity than man-made product
The art of egg painting reached its
perfection in Italy in the Fifteenth
century. and, having reached it, van
ished Nothing in the history of art
is more striking than the fall of TEN
pera painting. which, having spent 800
to 400 years in achieving completion
died of its own perfection.

Fine Golf Course on Roof

One of the most unusual open air
golf courses in use today is that which
has been built on the roof of store
in Atlanta, Ca This course, accord
ing to a writer in Good Hardware, Is
surprisingly realistic and is mighty
busy place. 1t measures about two
hundred feet long and fifty feet wide,
and has about as much golf atmos-
phere as a country club. The course
offers all the hazards, risks and pen
alties of championship golf
The hardware store which has i'm
prOviSed this course on the roof of
its building on the busiest street in
the city is doing its bit to help along
the increasing popularity of this fine
sport, which is being played so en-
Enthusiastically throughout the United
States. "Give man a golf club and
let him strike ball, and he is a CON
firmed golf fend," some one has said.
This merchant is putting that obser-
walton to rigid test.

The Patient Burro

Generations of burros have been so
resoundngly beaten that racial re-
venge seems to have settled into an
irritating indifference to punishment.
The instrument of castigation is never
less than a club one inch in diameter.
The burro has learned to fex its
joints when the blow descends so as
to break its force. One of them, a
young fellow it seemed to be, was
once observed to mistime Its fleX
and in consequence received so full
benefit of the blow that 1t indubi-
tably knocked all future attempts at
anticipation from Its anatomy.
Rumors are growing louder that the
burro will be displaced by the motor
car. In that case it will work its own
destruction it will transport the end
less variety of material to build the
road that will lead to its DOOM
Humanity is tagging behind the
burro in the race for existence.
Whether it finds nourishment in mere
philosophical contemplation is an
open question. Who has ever seen u
burro being fed? A nose-bag would
surely stifle it. AS for eating, a
burro was once observed hastily
Snatching a banana peel as it Hoped
along with its load and receiving a
Notwithstanding whack from the

ing up a living.-Lima (Peru) West
