 Already Jim and Mabel are worrying: "How can two live as cheaply as one - and have good timeS?"
 What they need is a budget, a simple plan for spending. Even a small Salary's adequate if it's wisely spread out.
 For big items, best to decide on a definite percentage of income. For clothes ten per cent is wise. Easy to spread it out by making major purchases like coats at mid- season sales. Save shoes with shoe trees, mend little rips when they start.
 Are you tempted by new kitchen gadgets? Don't let them nibble at your "nest egg" or upset your bud- get. Decide if the gadget's really worth it-then nip a bit from some other item such as carfare by walking instead of riding for a while.
 No need to follow slavishly friends who have higher incomes. Be original, entertain with hot-dog supperS, games.
 Solve your money worries with budget. Learn how to stretch your income from our S2-page booklet. Gives ruled pages for a whole years budget entries. Tips on saving, buying. Helps you get what you want for your money.

WASTE ROOM INTO PLAYROoM

In most houses, section of the attic or basement is wasted as a depository for old papers, dilapi- dated household goods and so on. When such space is swept, scrib- bed clean and decorated with wall paper or paint and bit of linoleum on the floor, it becomes an attractive playroom for chil- dren or adults.

GORMELEY DENIED
LORTON RELEASE
Application Can Be Reinstituted
in 6 Months-Convicted on
Larceny Charge.

George A. Gormeley, who was con-
yicted in 1888 with Countess Grace de
Benque on a grand larceny charge
growing out of an extortion plot. was
denied release on parole yesterday by
the Board of Indeterminate Sentence
and Parole.
Gormeley, who is serving an eight
year sentence at the District Reforma-
tory at Lorton, Va, was given permis-
sion to reinstitute his petition after
SIX months and the present applica-
tlon was denied without prejudice
The board said it felt that due to the
serious nature of the crime the appli-
cant should not be paroled now.
The evidence at the trial was that
Gormeley had taken Miss Louise
Maret, co-proprietor of fashionable
girls school. for an automobile ride
into Maryland, and was met there by
one Charles a. May. hired by Gorme-
ley to pose as police officer. who was
supposed to have threatened the
couple with arrest on Mann Act
charge.
Gormeley and the countess are said
to have used the incident to compel
Miss Maret to pay over $4,000 in
order to save the private school from
disrepute.

PAY RATIO HIGH
IN COAL INDUSTRY
-Four Lumps for Company

-Four Jumps for the company and
six for me- might be the chant of the
American miner as he shovels coal
into cars far below ground,

ported by the Works Progress Admin
istration in study of the coal indus

costs.

the -four for the company, six for me"
ratio isn't new.
In 1889, for example. 1t said the
wages paid miners represented 7L9
per cent of the total value of the coal
at the mine mouth.
The ratio fell 10 62.4 per cent for
wages In 1902 climbed to 70.3 for
1909. and in the last three censuses
it has hovered close to go per cent"
But, the report continued, the
miners job is of the work again. of
again type.
THE typical coal mine" the re-
search workers reported. works with
a normal crew of men sufficient to
operate it at capacity.
1T works as long as necessary to
fill its orders and then shuts down
for a day. two days, a week or longer.
Usually a shutdown lasts day or
two only. but not uncommonly it runs
for weeks or months.
If the market remains depressed
for months and years, the mine owner
may gradually reduce his working
force by ceasing to take on new men
as older ones leave. or by shutting
down higher-cost portions of the mine"
AS an example of the effect of shut
downs, the survey reported that in
1885 the average working time for
miner in the bituminous fields was
l79 days-"in the relatively active year
1929 it was 2l9 days"
Splitting its figures still further. the
survey listed 462, ,403 miners as work.
ing 82,803,000 man-days in the soft
coal mines during 1885. They pro-
duced 372l253,697 tons, an approxi-
mate average daily production for each
miner of four and half tons.
The production was valued at $751;
56O,422, or about SLIT a ton at the
mine mouth. Wages paid the miners
totaled S402, 2,676,694 for 1895.

Smith and Two Opponents

COLUMBIA, S. c., June 11.-Elli-
son D. Smith. United States Senator
from South Carolina for 80 years,
will be opposed for denomination by
two younger candidates in a cam
paign opening Tuesday in which the
New Deal will play spotlight role.
Cotton Ed" dean of Democratic
Senators, with service surpassed only
by that of Senator Borah, Republican,
of Idaho, seeks sixth term.
Arrayed against him are 41-year-
old Gov. Olin D. Johnston. who hints
strongly of White House blessings,
although the administration has pro-
fessed hands-off policy toward party
primaries. and Edgar A. Brown, vet
eran State legislator. who, like Gov.
Johnston. says he is an out-and- -out
New Dealer. Senator Smith has
criticized some New Deal policies.
Open at Sumter.
The three will speak at Sumter, in
the heart of the State. Tuesday at
the first of series of rallies that will
take them to every county seat in
South Carolina before the primary of
August 30.
At the same time. eight candidates
for Governor-including that colorful
campaigner, former Gov. and Senator
Cole L. Blease-will launch their bat
tie at nearby Lexington.
The candidates travel together, dine
together and often share rooms on
the itineraries mapped by the party's
State Executive Committee. but this
contact takes nothing from the de-
bate of political issues from the same
platform. The caravan system is
unique.
Smith Is Serene.
The 73-year-old Senator Smith,
who has weathered five primaries, is
taking things serenely and has not
yet shown his hustings hand.
Gov. Johnston, who rose from a
textile worker to the governorship
and who on occasions has gone shirt
sleeved into strike areas to plead for
settlements. has not let his supporters
forget he is pro-New Deal Ito the
hilt."
Mr.. Brown, opponent of the Cover
nor on many, State issues, opposed
Senator Smith in 1926 and lost by a
bare 5000 votes.
For the first time since the stirring
red shirt" campaign Of 1876, when
Gen. Wade HAMPTON went into tho
Governors Office on a wave of in
dignation at what Southerners of
that day called 'carpetbag rule" there
will be no party rule setting forth
Negro eligibility to vote.
The Hampton rule" was abolished

Fanchon opened and closed her
mouth. A curious ecstatic sensation
surged from her toes to her Redeemed
eyelids. Two big tears welled up into
her eyes. She hunted for a handker-
chief. Craig grinned and produced
one big enough to last an hour or
more. BY that time they had reached

She would, of course. have to tell
Craig the whole thing. including the
facts about Darrell Urban, who was
following her to America on the next
boat. Craig probably would be diff
cult to handle. That was what living
in small town all of ones life did
to one. 1t made one difiicult-stub-
born and narrow.
Fanchon sighed second time. How
lucky she was to have escaped the
influence of the small town where she
and Craig had been reared. Six months
on the continent had taught her many
things about life. They had taught
her. she hoped, to be cruel, unfeeling
and merciless. These were the meas
ures she would have to adopt with
Craig 1t was the only way. It was
the price one paid for escape from the
sordid.
Craig was not at the station to meet
her when she reached Hopedale. She
was annoyed, but her annoyance was
unreasonable, for she had given him
no indication as to the date of her
arrival. She expected he would call
that afternoon or evening. When he
didn't she decided she'd better get in
touch with him and get the business
over with.
She called his house. Craig an
swered. Hello" she said in her best
affected continental accent.
Hello" said Craig. ''Oh, Is that
you, honey? You're back, eh? Fine.
Look. I have to run up to Chicago

EANCHON was furious. The impu-
dence of him! In the next minute,
however, she was glad. This would
give her an opening, an excuse to be
cruel However, first she'd teach him
a lesson. She wouldn't see him when
he returned from Chicago the day
after tomorrow.
She didn't either. She didn't get
the chance. For Craig didn't return
from Chicago for week. Or at least
that's what she thought. When he
told her he'd been back three days,
but had been too busy to contact her,
she practically choked with rage.

q century and half, and sent tens OF
thousands of men, red and white, to
violent death in the wilderness In
search for the highly -prized beaver
pelts; paved the way for the heroism
Of the Jesuits and the villainy Of the
renegade fur traders; gave impetus to
the establishment of Quebec, Montreal,
Detroit, St. Louis and scores of lesser
towns.
It was for beaver that the voyaguers
threaded the forest waterways and
for beaver that the mountain men in
vaded the domain of hostile tribes.
Not only has the beaver left its i'm
press on history and its record written
in national boundary lines, but it has
also decisively affected the very face
Of the earth in many places. Beaver
dams, beaver ponds. are natures means
of food control and erosion check. In
the course Of centuries, hundreds Of
square miles of fertile fields have re-
suited from beaver work.
Beavers are among the wild-life spe-
cies that are coming back" under
management and careful trapping reg
ulations. The valuable beaver pelt
could with proper care again become
. real economic asset to the country.
The new spirit Of conservation and
restoration has saved the beaver from
extinction in many areas and re-estab-
liShed by restocking many Of the
former beaver colonies which had been
completely depopulated. The Hudson
Bay Co. has set aside Q refuge for
beaver 5000 square miles in area. In
more than half the States, beaver,
either native or introduced, are slowly
ye-establishing themselves.
