Table Talks
Budget
By Alice IRWIN

Three budget letters which lie upon
my desk are concerned with widely
varying salaries. In the first case, a
family of two persons has a salary
of S135 month. The second family,
four persons. has $50 week or $500
month. While the third young
couple are blessed with the munificcnt
income of 500 n week, or $433 a
month. And the question in each case
is, how much do you think we should
save.
Certainly, the amount TO be saved
is the point at which to start the
formation of budget. Usually we be-
gin to think about budgeting when We
look back over year and are appalled,
to discover that we have spent II lot
of mOney-S1620, S3120 and 5000
in these three caSes-and have moth
ing to show for it.
OF course, each of us has some
thing TO show for our years eGpendi-
tures-an- equity-in n home, an auto
mobile, furniture, life insurance. These
all represent investment as well as
outlay. But with each of these three
families q real balance in the savings
Ddlh WOulu give IL HlOSL 'OlnlOINdul'
vantage point from which to view the
future.
Let's consider the lowest income
this week. Here are the facts which
were presented to me:
Kent StO.UO
Payments on furniture and
radio ....'.:... ...'.'.'.'' ITO
Gas and electricity .......... 500
Life insurance .............. 80
That Rtai leaves s6i.75, which j 'S Sng
gest be divided up in this fashion:
Food .:....... ........S 33.OO
Husbands carfare and expenses 60
Miscellaneous, including cloth
ing ............. lO.OO
Total ....................$61.75
Put down in inflexible figures, this
allotment seems quite severe. But
have cut every expenditure to the
lowest possible amount and l cannot
see that / am justified in allowing
any more for food, the husbands daily
expenditures or for clothing.
Theoretically. each of us should be
putting away for the future 10 per
cent of his income. This frequently
sounds like sheer impossibility then
we have to ask ourselves this ques-
ton: How should l get along if
my income were cut down 10 per
cent" In this and many other cases
it would be difficult, but it would
not be impossible. And l don't think
any amount of recreation or even the
satisfaction of being better dressed
would make up for the feeling that
one had no money in bank to fall
upon in case of emergency.
There is one comforting thing about
cmergcncies-being prepared for them
often seems to keep them from hap
pening. A hundred dollars in a bank
gives one the assurance that he is q
capitalist and is good start to-
wards the accumulation of that sur
plus which one day becomes so de-
sirable.

Girl Speeder in Court
Wins Wager With Mother

Detroit, Mich - Seventeen-year-old
Ethel NJ. Schiller is wondering whether
she won bet with her mother.
Ethel appeared before Judge Chris

her fathers automobile at 32 miles an
hour
"You know you are liable for a fine
by pleading guilty?" Judge Stein ques-
toned the fair defendant.

"But how much are you going to fine
me? responded Ethel sweetly.
Judge Stein, by questioning her, re-
vealed that Ethel had wagered with
her mother that her fine would not eX-
coed "a certain sum-" Just what this
certain sum" represented was not dis
closed in court. but Ethel's mother had
agreed that Ethel could keep every
thing left after the certain sum" was
paid.
Judge Stein finally compromised
with three months probation and Ethel

Fishing With Pumps

Commercial fishing is not very
sporting proposition and the unfortu-
nate fish does not get much Of
chance. Inveigling fish onto hook
has been the accepted means Of catch
ing him since the Stone age. Catch
ing him in net Is method Of quite
respectable antiquity. Now Americans
are using pump and sucking him in.
A tube running fore and aft empting
into a tank. and an eight-inch motor
driven centrifugal pump at the for.
ward end sucks in about fourteen tons
of fish and water minute. This goes
into tank which catches the fish and
allows the water to run off. The
method Is simple. and extraordinarily
efficient for If the boat passes through
a shOal of fish more than two tons of
fish minute may be trapped in the
tank.-Family Herald.

DIGNITY KEYNOTE
OF AMERICAN LIFE
Revolutionary Period Noted
for Serene Beauty.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art of

devoted exclusively to American in.
terlors and American furnishings and
furniture, has made a graphic contri-
button to that work of AmericaniZa.
tlon which Is one of the pressing needs
OF the time. A hastily judging world
mas chosen to regard American taste
as representing everything that was
tawdry and grotesque; it is apparent
that the misconception arose from
taking the manifestations OF our
crudesl era as typical Of national cul-
ture In the longer range. Nothing
more absurd than the domestic arts
or the Inter half Of the Nineteenth
century was probably ever known
the era Of what-n0ts. hair-cloth furni.
ture. Rogers groups. and lambrequins
In Interior decoration; OF brownstone
fronts and cupolas and mansard roofs
In architecture; and Of mustache cups
"hand-painted" cuspidors and gold
toothpicks In personal bric-a-brac. The
great Injustice is that these things
have been too widely accepted as rep
resentng the height Of American ar
tistic achievement-as characteristic
OF our civilization as the Parthenon
to Greek, Versailles to French, and the
work of christopher Wren to English
The great truth brought out by the
new American wing Is that these gro.
tesqueries represented merely a TEN.
porary slump. phenomenon not pc.
culiar to this country the fact Is thai
they were merely part and parcel OF
that Victorian commonplaceness and
stupidity that was almost as marked
in England as In the United States.
The one quality that was so con-
stant In Americans of the colonial
Revolutionary period and which Is not
so apparent in their descendants, was
a kind Of serene dignity. It appears
in the wainscotting Of Virginia
home, in the delicate doorway Of
New England mansion" in the quiet
beauty of Gilbert Stuart canvas, in
the lovely productions of the New
England and Middle states cabinet
makers. 1t Is the same trait that Is
uppermost in the lives and writings Of
the Revolutionary leaders-Jefferson

Hasty Marriage Undone

The marriage fever of the postwar
period in Vienna is now followed by
divorce fever Many couples married
rashly and inconsiderately. without
having apartments of their own, the
husband and wife having to live sep.
arately with their respective families
There were also too many boy and
girl marriages. The fact is that in the
course of last year until October 81
about 2.750 divorce cases have kept
the courts exceptionally busy. In
these years some husbands have
changed their wives even three times.

Stop Night Coughing
81. This Simple Way

n People who have persistent, an
: noying coughing spells at night. and
who through loss Of valuable sleep
infections. can stop their distressing
'trouble promptly by a very simple
treatment. Hundreds who have
hardly been able to rest at all for
coughing, have gotten their full
nights sleep the very first time they
tried it.
The treatment is based on a re-
markable prescription known as DR.,
Kings New Discovery for Coughs.
You simply take a teaspoonful at
night before retiring and hold it in
your throat for Is or 20 seconds be-
fore swallowing it, without follow
ing with water. The prescription
has q double action. It not only
soothes and heals soreness and irri-
tation, but it quickly loosens and
removes the phlegm and congestion
which are the direct cause. of the
coughing. The result is that you
usually sleep as soundly as babe
the very first night, and the entire
cough condition goes in a very short
time.
The prescription is highly recon-
mended for coughs, chest colds.
hoarseness and bronchitis, and is
wonderful for children's coughs and
spasmodic GROUPING harmful drugs.
Economical, too, as the dose is only
one teaspoonful. It is on sale at all
good druggists. Ask for

Technical in Splendid Vic
tory Over Steele High
School of Dayton.

Indianapolis high schools, Tech
and Shortridge, did themselves proud
Friday in two games played here.
Technical surprised by it's great
showing against Steele High Of Day
ton, Ohio. The Green and White
eleven got six points in tho first
quarter and then stubbornly, and
even brilliantly, resisted all efforts
of the Ohio team to cross the goal
line. The final score was Tech, 6;
Steele. 0.
1t was a great triumph for the
Tech outfit and should give the
squad plenty of confidence for games
to come. Teen appeared to have
one Of the best teams in its history.
Quarter Back Clark sneaked over
with the only touchdown from the
five-yard line. Balay was one of the
chief ground gamers for Tech. The
winners outplayed Steele with the
exception Of the aerial game. In the
closing minutes the Dayton outfit
completed a number of passes, but
could not take the ball over the last
white line.
Shortridge chalked up another vic
tory over a State opponent by defeat
ing Charlottesville at Irwin. field 3S

of it's scoring in the first half, when
81 points were run up.
Kern made three touchdowns for
Shortridge, Klgore made two and
Holt one. Most of the gains were on
end runs.
