Dec. n u.N.s. with the battle

Of the equator today. President
elect Hoover continued to make
the most Of calm weather BY
resting up for the atrsnuous days
ahead of him after the ship docks
at Hampton Roads, Va. on Janu-
ary S..
Reclining under ascanopy erected
on the after-deck to protect him
from the torrid rays Of the equa-
torial sun, Hoover dictated letters
to his secretary at intermittent
intervals. He spent most Of the
time talking with Mrs. Hoover,
Ambassador Fletcher and others
OF his party.
He appeared Interested In the
plan for making prohibition ef-
fective which Major Chester p.
Mills presented to win W. c.
Durant,s $4,000 prize.
Like Costa Rica
Major Mills plan is similar to
that in Costa Rica. When Hoover
visited that country a. month ago
he appeared much interested in
the system of controlling the sale
OF liquor there.
RNa.. fnow
produces or imports every gallon
of alcohol allowed in circulation in
the country. 1t sells to distribu-
tors on an allotment basis, giving
them the privilege Of mixing the
liquor as they please.
BY thus controlling the price aA
well as the quantity OF liquor on
the market. the Costa Rican gov
ernment enforces form of
temperance.
The Costa Rican system was the
most rigid system of controlling the
sale of liquor encountered In all 10
Latin-American countries visited.
All the other countries limited their
efforts to controlling the hours dur
ing which liquor might be sold or
limiting the number Of vending
pieces III edcn u1slrtCI.
Other Control Plans
In Chile, no building may be used
exclusively for the sale of liquor,
but hotels and restaurants may sell
as much as they please up until 1
o'clock in the morning. There are
no bars or saloons in the country,
but diners take wine with all their
meals In continental fashion.
In Brazil liquor is sold in a Sim
liar manner. but the coffee houses
take the place of Chile's hotels and
restaurants. The Brazilian coffee
houses resemble Germany's beer
gardens.
Peru was the only country visited
where the old-fashioned American
bar is generally used.
In Buenos Aires, the Paris of the
Americas, most of the residents
take their wine at the sidewalk
tables of boulevard cafes or at the
numerous alI-day cabarets. One of
the few bars in the city is at the
American Club. Even this one is
only 10 feet long. The Jockey Club.

for the fact that its cellars contain
more than $4,000 bottles Of rare

GOVERNMENT SEEKS TO IMPROVE
 BUDGET SYSTEMS OF HOUSEHOLDS

WASHINGTON, May 24-A boon to every homemaker in America. a new system of check. ing household accounts, is expect. ed to result from government studies now in progress.
 Mrs. Chase c. Woodhouse, head of the economic division, U. S Bureau of Home Economies, is directing the efforts to make budgeting simple, concise and free from discrepancies. She is graduate of McGill and Chicago universities, and formerly taught economies at Smith college.
 investigations bearing directly on the question of simplified ac counts were started more than . year ago when Mrs. Woodhouse asked about 250 homemakers in various sections of the United States for detailed information on their household expenditures These are being summarized and analysed as rapidly as possible to obtain accurate data as for what things or services people now are spending their money The reports represent farm. busi- ness and professional families of different social positions. and in comes.

 new president will be inaugurated December 1. Gales will run the dairy farm, he has established near Mexico City, He has al ways loved a farm. He is eager to get back on one. He will be near if Obregon ever needs him just as Obregon has. been on hand whenever the road was rocky for Gales. At least so the layout stands now It is system that has worked we'll as far.
 Indications
 Obregon's actions and utter anees indicate he will continue the Gales policies. That does not mean hope has been abandon ed for an adjustment of the re- ligious controversy. For the mo ment the outlook is not encourag- ing. But friends both of the Mex ican government and the Catholic church do not despair of an ulti- mate formula whereby with dig nifty to each side the dispute, at least in it's acute aspects, may be ended. As to other problems, Obregon, thanks to American Am bassador Morrow, will inherit from Gales a much happier situation than has existed for a long time in Mexican United States rela- tions.
 Morrow and Gales are real friends. Morrow and Obregon have hit it off together fine. Colonel Alexander McNabb, Unit ed States military attache, is in timate with Obregon and has been his trusted friend for years. They became pals when McNabb was stationed on the Arizona Dor. der. where he learned to speak idiomatic Spanish as easily a English. With. McNabb in the offing Morrow could hardly help being friendly with Obregon, or the latter with the ambassador. Of course it may be just CO., incidence that Washington sent MT Morrow a military attache who is liked by Mexico's prospec- tive president more than almost any other American. It may be a coincidence-and 1t may be that MT. Morrow never overlooks a bet.

WON4N'S INTERNATIONAL INTERESTS
 EXPAND IN PACIFIC CONFERENCE

HONOLULU. May 24.-The ex- pansion of womans place in in ternational affairs did not stor with her participation in the Pan American conference in Havana this winter.
 From August to 12 women from 20 countries bordering O. having interests on the Pacific will have their own special Pan. Pacific conference in Honolulu.
 A fourfold program, comprising the fields in which women are either most naturally concerned or in which they wish to make their niche bit more secure, will occupy the ten-day session
 Problems of health, the eco homie status of women in indus try, child welfare tother than physical health) and women in government will be the four. diyi. sions of the international discus sion.
 The conference is the outgrowth of the women's auxiliary, which was formed at the time of the Pan-Pacific conference in 1924
 Miss Jane Addams of Hull House, Chicago, was made honor. ary chairman of the conference. and Dr. Valerie Parker, president of the National Council of Wo- men, was appointed chairman Of the American delegation.
 The countries whose women are laboring under economic or pro fessional handicaps will receive the particular attention of the conference with discussions of the individual problems that each country offers.
 The following countries will send delegates: Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Hawaii, China. Philippine Islands, Canada, Colom- bia, Costa Rica, Dutch East h. dies, France, England, Guatemala, Honduras, India, Panama, Nether- lands, Peru, Portugal and Siam.
 Mrs. A. l.. Andrews of Honolulu is chairman of the local executive committee on arrangements. 9th CT American women who will take prominent parts in the conference are Dr. Mary E. Wooley, presi- dent of Mt. Holyoke college; Mrs. J. P. Morgan. former president of the National League of Women Voters, and Miss Mary Dingman, industrial work secretary of the

in handling family money, Mrs. Woodhouse explains that special account books and intricate ledg- CTS are not essential to a good budget policy. An ordinary blank book will serve for the entries, she says, if expenditures are planned with sufficient foresight and maintained with perseverance on the part of each member of the family.
 The really important thing about keeping accounts, whether in the home or in business, Mrs. Woodhouse says, is to have them in such form that one can see at a glance how much is being spent on any group of items and com pare it with the estimate ior that type of expense.

BRUSSELS, May z4 - While most royal marriages are made in the chancelleries of Europe, Prin- cess Mario, Jo1e of Belgium is de- termined that her wedding shall be an exception to the rule.
 So far only one young man in the whole wide world has found favor in her eyes, and that is the crown prince of Italy, who is also the Duke of Piedmont.
 "And,'' said Princess Marie to her close, personal friends at the court here, T will marry my Italian prince or enter a convent
 So if her engagement is off cially announced before long il will be because the obstinacy which is hidden behind her lret. ty blue eyes has triumphed.
 The announcement of her en gagement to Prince Umberto, first :rumors of which leaked out about three years ago, has been post poned for several reasons, one oi which, it is understood. is the political regime prevailing iu Italy, which, especially at the time of Emile yandervelde's pres ence in the Belgian foreign office presented real obstacle.
 Princess Marie Jose first met Prince Umberto when she want to Florence, Italy, in 1917, 10 com plete her studies, begun in Eng land in 1914. The princess, ther a mere child. had many oppor tunities to meet the Duke O. Piedmont, and the subsequent ire quent visits which. with her par ents or accompanied by lady in-waiting, she has made year af ter year to Racconigi Castle ana \ other Italian places, indicated long ago that an Italian-Belgian matri monial alliance was in the offing

has been mighty close. The best guess seems to be they will con tinue that way. It is the com nonsense of the situation, elim. mating all other considerations. And both men are full of com. nonsense and canniness.
 The presidential elections are Sunday. July 1. Elections are al ways on Sunday in Mexico. Ob- regon is the only candidate. There were two others last year, Gen eral Francisco Serrano, who was trusted friend and secretary of war during Obregon's previous presidency, and General Arnulfo Gomez, military governor of the state of Vera Cruz. They are dead now They were captured and executed as rebels for at tempting an army revolt. No one else felt like running against Ob- regon since-or if anyone has en- tertained the ambition he has kept it to himself very success fully.
 The elections will be held, even with only one candidate. The

 IN VICTORIA, B. C

Returning from the Pacific Synod of the United Lutheran church. Rev. Harry R.. Allen was an arrival on the steamer Aleu- tian from Victoria, Bs C., and Se- attle.- The Synod convened at Victoria.
 The Pacific Synod embraces more territory than any other synod of the. church, Rev. Allen said, and extends from Fairbanks, Alaska, to Medford, Oregon, north 70 south, and Spokane to Victoria, east to west. The total mileage covered by delegates who travelled to and from the gathering was 25,000 miles.
 One of the outstanding events at the synod, held from May IS to IS, was the presence, among the 55 delegates. of Dr. F. F. Fry, executive secretary of the Home Mission Board of the United Lutheran church. Reports at the convention were gratifying, ac- cording to Rev. Allen, for the membership showed an increase of 17 percent from the last synod held on the coast.
 Morning services of the Resur- rection Lutheran church at Third and Main Streets will be resumed May 27, Rev. Allen said. Sunday school will be at 9:45 a. m. and morning worship at Il a. m.
