Today every family accepting the

the expenditures necessary for a
well-rounded existence may obtain
helpful advice in books and pam
phlets and magazines.
One of the most practical books
on which to base a plan for living
Is S. Agnes Donham's Spending

Miss Donham wisely advises the
family to begin by deciding the
essential things which its income
Is to cover; she discusses standards
for expenditures and illustrates
with few carefully worked out
budget plans.
There are also books and PAM
phlets to aid In planning the actual
management Of the house. Amer
ica's Housekeeping Book" compiled
by the Home Institute, is one of
the most recent and inclusive. A
study of the methods outlined will
reveal many suggestions for eco
nomical management of time and
money.

Down of Victory
By Louis Fischer. fDueH,
Sloan 6 Pearce.)
In this book, Louis Fischer. for
long a foreign correspondent for
the Nation, gives his opinions on
the present war and the future
peace. Summed up, Mr.. Fischer's
findings are that America must
take the lead in the fighting and
support the world for long time
after fighting ends-maintaming
Europe and Asia on the basis Of a
"sort of world w. P. A." Consid-
ering the success Of our domestic
w. P. A., counsel to set up such
an organization on a plentary scale
might seem to indicate a certain
optimism on the part Of the coun-
selor. But nothing could exceed
the positiveness with which Mr..
Fischer offers his advice.
A new world must come out of
the war, he says, and nothing short
of a utopia is going to satisfy him,
a world in which every man, woman
and child is absolutely assured of
well-being, physical, spiritual and
mental, every minute of existence.
This, he says, can be accomplished
by planning. The public, of course,
has heard a great deal about plan
ming in the last few years, and while
1t has heard planning extolled as a
cosmic cure-all, the world has pro-
gressed into the largest war in its
history. The circumstance, how
ever, need not disenchant any in
telligent person with the possibih-
ties of planning. as such. But it
does raise a question as to where
the right planners are to be found.
Mr.. Fischer seems to think that
they will crop UP. This, too, might
be taken to indicate that he is an
optimist.
'World customs union. World
economic planning. International
economic health. These are the
first steps to a stable peace. The
people are ready. Now the leaders
must act" Thus Mr.. Fischer.
The fact is, however, that people
everywhere generally prefer peace
to war, and that war inevitably
keeps on occurring. A world Gus
toms union, an international peace
police force and the gradual eradi-
cation Of nationalism will solve the
paradox, says Mr.. Fischer. There
Is cetrain theoretical quality about
the dictum.

Tea and Coffee Rationinq
In Effect in Canada

BY TIE Associated Press.
OTTAWA, Aug. 3.-Rationing of
tea and coffee goes into effect in
Canada today, the Wartime Prices
and Trade Board announced last
night.
The quota for one person has
been fixed as an ounce of tea or
four ounces of coffee a week-but
not both.
Up to now tea and coffee ration
ing has been on the honor system, "
with Canadians instructed to cut
their tea consumption to one-half
of normal and coffee consumption to
quarter. The honor system was
used for sugar rationing up to July
l when rationing was shifted to
coupons on an experimental basis.
Coupons on the top of the tempo
rary card will be used until Sep
tember 8, when permanent books
will be issued. There is no provis-
ion for tea and coffee purchases for
children under IL.
Equitable distribution and pru-
dent conservation of existing sup
plies are the objectives of the tea
and coffee rarioning," the board
said, emphasizing the shipping difn-
culties in the way of obtaining large
quantities of either tea or coffee.
Canadians will now be held to less
tea than the people of Britain,
where the weekly ration is two
ounces. The British and Canadian
sugar rations are the same at eight
onces.
Coffee is not rationed for Britons,
who normally drink very little Of it
