 Chicago, Dec 14- midwest states have resorted to varied forms of economy ana emergency taxation to maintain their public schools.
 In only one state, Illinois, IS the threat of closed schools nearer than at the end of last year. Gov Henry Horner will call a special session of the general assembly to deal with the problem.
 Iowa, Indiana and Minnesota, as well as Illinois, have made drastic retrenchments. Courses considered least essential have been elimtn- ated: teachers salaries have been cut: schools have been consolidated. new taxes have been levied. and tax warrants have been issued.
 Chicago has made progress Tn it's problem of procuring funds with which to pay back salaries of it's teachers. It is now believed that the REC will purchase. $3O,- C00,O00 in school bonds which were authorized by the legislature. Mean while, drastic economies and tm- proved tax collections have bet tered the financial position of the city school system.
 In Indiana, the state will pay $2O0 toward the salary of each teacher on January l and another $200 will be paid on July l. The money will come from the new gross income tax law which went into effect last April. A reduction of $11, 1,000,O0O was made in the In. diana budget for the last school
 one in every 15 teachers has been eliminated from Iowa's schools. Minnesota instituted salary reductions for teachers and has been called upon for more drastic cuts in future budgets as the result of increasing tax delinquencies. Similar situations exist in Wiscon- sin and Michigan. A
 The Illinois problem led HQrner to call in members of the State Teachers Association to draft leg islation to be presented to the gen. eral assembly. Francis G. Blair. H. linois superintendent of schools. said that school troubles arose from failure to pay taxes.

Every Monday Ann hoped rather desperately that there might be Q couple of dollars left over which didn't belong in one of those en- velopes. There never was. And oftentimes she had to do some very tricky juggling in order to make ends meet.
 The married life of Ann and George was literally founded on the budget system. Practically everything they owned had been purchased on time payments. And they never seemed to catch up with themselves because as soon as one lot of payments was clear ed, another lot began.
 When they fell in love more than three years ago they were both working. Both earning small salaries-and both recklessly living up to every penny, without a thought for the future. It was Ann--on that mad, mar vicious night when George asked her to marry him-who said rather bewilderedly:
 But, darling, what are we go- ing to use for money? Neither of us has dime!"
 Then imm ediately she answered her own question: Thank heaven for the budget systemz-we'll fur nish our home by installments!'
 Ann was very firm about one thing. Whatever furniture they bought must be good--the real stuff, No limitations. The result was that they started out with very little. Just a living room and bedroom, at first. When the living room set was all paid for, Ann furnished her dining room. After the dining room came the guest room. z
 Georges salary increased at reg ular intervals-so did the budget. There was always something extra which they needed. After three years Ann was still adding to her home, via the installment plan. But she was pretty nearly satis- fled now. HER HONS WAS BOTH
 EXQUISITE AND SUBSTANTIAL
 Her home was both exquisite and substantial. She was proud to invite people into it. Ann knew that no one girl in hundred could have done what she had done on Georges salary. But not even George guessed at all of the sacrifices she had made.
 There was just one more thing she desired, and the desire almost amounted to an obsession. Un- fortunately George did not see eye to eye with her.
 Ann sat in a deep-cushioned chair, her hair looking like gleam. ing gold beneath the mellow light of her reading lamp. Blue eyes were narrowed thoughtfully. She said, even as she had said a hun- dred times before:
 MA piano-a grand piano! That corner over there, George-it was just made for a grand piano"
 George stiffened. A piano-and a grand piano, at thati He snort ed: 'It's good thing there isn't a corner around here that was just made for a dirigible--you'd be trying to get one of those on the installment plan!"
 Ann said coldly: I'm not joking!"
 George burst out: "once and for all, Ann, we can't afford piano!
 She insisted: We can afford it!"
 Georges face was red. When you had your way about the elec- tric refrigerator we agreed that that was the last thing we'd buy on installments! Do {. you realize that we've been married three years and we haven't been able to

 "But we're all clear on our other payments now-you said so your self. Whats the matter. Ann? For Gods sane-you haven't gone and bought a yacht or something, have you?"
 "No-no-no - bu--there's some thing else. When you raised such a kick about the piano didn't want to tell you.'' She lifted wet eyes to his. Babies are awfully expen- sive--even with budget system!"

Addressing the Canadian club,
