Budgeting ones time is as im- portant to good health as the bud- getting of ones money and should be considered in planning ahead for the new year, it was stated by Elizabeth c. Nickerson, director of the bureau of public health in- struction of the state department of health in the departments weekly broadcast today.
 '"Time is no respecter of persons -it dispenses just so many min utes, hours, days, weeks and months and treats everybody alike" Miss Nickerson said. Some of us plan ahead or budget our time, dividing it in thirds, eight hours for sleep and rest, eight hours for our occupation, eight hours for leisure, meals, reading, recreation, exercise and social con- tacts. But if we allow one third to encroach on the others-robbing our sleep time for extra work or recreation-we must pay the pen- alty in poor health.
 "The quality of the leisure hour also makes it's indelible mark. If we ride hobby too hard until we make it a task, if excessive exer- else taxes our endurance beyond our strength, if we lose all desire for activity by yielding to the soft luxury of the easy chair, if we dull our mental capacities by the cali Der of our reading or if we shun our fellow men and live for our selves alone, we are interfering with the opportunity to make our time our tool for advancement" Preservation of the time budget takes rank from the health stand point with the budgeting of avail able finances and providing for the essentials of food and shelter. Planning the budget for food has become a fairly simple task, for no matter how little money is available it may be best spent by one-fifth of it on each of

League Meeting Ends.
While diplomacy follows the same
paths as it did before 1914, the move
to end all wars seems totally dead
for the moment, for the fifteenth gen.
eral assembly of the League of Ma
tions has come to close without
any decision whatsoever having been
made in regard to continuation of
the organized efforts to bring about
international disarmament. Taking
advantage of the futility of all dis
armament efforts to date, the nations
are increasing their armies, their
navies and their air forces.
In this respect the League assem-
bly, accomplished nothing. And not
much more in other fields. The only
real results of the debates at Geneva
were the admission of Soviet Russia
and Afghanistan as members; every
thing else was negative, including the
vain efforts to persuade Japan and
Germany to remain within the League
fold.
Another Failure.
To the various failures of the
League must be added, too, its inabil-
Ivy W DIlHS dDOuI peace DCIWSCH
Paraguay and Bolivia matter very
clearly within the jurisdiction of the
League, especially in view of the fact
that both belligerent powers are men,
bers of that organization and bound
by it's fundamental law.
No, the League could not see its
way to doing anything about it. That
war which the League itself has char
acterized as Unusually ferocious,"
goes on as sanguinarily as before,
and the matter of stopping it was left
to American nations-which have al
ready declared that they were power
less to do anything concrete.
Altogether, what emerges from the
picture of the League at Geneva is a
pretty sordid picture of either I'M
willingness or inability to approach a
solution of important problems.

HIGHWAY SYSTEM
GIVES WORK TO MORE

The maintenance division of the
state highway department is now en-
ploying 1000 men on part time COM
pared with an employment of 1000
men on full time at this season in
1882, according to an official an
nouncement by the department.
In 1892 the maintenance division
with 1000 full-time employees was
caring for $500 miles of roads. This
year the department is caring for
more than 1000 miles of highway
with 1000 part-time men. In other
words, 60 per cent more mileage is
being maintained without correspond
ing increase in the total amount of
labor. Owing to the severe unemploy-
ment situation, the department has
simply spread its payroll among more
workers by limiting the number OF
hours each man can be on the pay
roll in given month
Other employment by the depart
ment in July, 1894, including all con-
struction contract and direct labor
jobs, but excluding maintenance, was
approximately 10000 persons. In
July, 1882, the departments employ
ment outside of maintenance work
was 11,i00.

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
Continued from Page -

Continued from Page u
men died for the sake of a few aptly
written slogans statesmen are con-
stantly tinkering with plans for new
treaties.
Earlier this year a movement was
on foot to recreate the old Franco
Russian alliance; as the news became
known, too much opposition was en-
gendered, and the project was dropped
in favor of plan for socalled East
ern LOcarnO treaties-that is, mutual
pacts doing for the peace of eastern
Europe what the LOcarno treaties of
1926 are supposed to do for western
ject. The real one appears to lie in
a clause promising mutual military
aSSistance"-a clause constituting the
germ of a new war if the Eastern
LOcarnO treaties ever become a fact.
Now this week word comes that
France and Italy are approaching
in deep confidence-an alliance which
is clearly enough aimed at Germany
and meant to eradicate forever Ger
man dreams of merger with Austria.
Such an alliance would, naturally,
have qualifications in Czecho-Slo-
vakia, Rumania and Jugo-Slavia as
we'll as in Poland. and the upshot of
it would be a confirmation of the Ger
man thesis that a conscious effort is
being made to isolate Germany from
the rest of Europa situation closely
akin to that which existed prior to
1914.
Other Agreements.
There is said to be already secret
alliance in force between Poland and
France but, on the other hand, Poland
this year concluded nonaggression
treaty with Germany; how this duality
would work out in case of a Franco
German conflict remains to be SEEN
AS for the reported Franco-Italian
alliance, it at once produced one re-
suit which never fails: 1t was denied
Denials mean little now in a world
which has come to see in them a
mere diplomatic subterfuge; to deny
is simply a part of the strategy of
statesmen who are afraid that their
designs may become known-or be-
come known prematurely.
Readers will remember that a few
months ago Adolf Hitler, now the
Leader of Germany, was in Italy
where he had conferences with Prime
Minister Benito Mussolini; since then
Italy has-because of the Austrian
situation-been less friendly to Ger
many than before, and now it is
rumored, in connection with the
stories about a Franco-Italian alli-
ance, that three of Hitler's emissaries
have gone to Rome. A not unreason-
able supposition is that they either
want to wreck such alliance plans or
to pave the way for Germany being
included in a sort of triple alliance.
Balkan Peace.
In the meantime interesting things
have happened in the Balkan coun-
tries; Bulgaria and Jugo-Slavia (the
Serbia of before-the-war days. have
for years looked askance at one an
other. Last week King Alexander
and Queen Maria of Jugo-Slavia re-
sponded to an invitation extended to
them by King Boris and Queen 10
