SUCH IS LIFE? Real Pal! Mow, that* k\p Never POOR. IS A ReAu~ VVVAEN \ve Qjx -TO -\W V-VMR VS/AS Aw- Mussed Doubt of Kreuger's Death Still Lingers Lifelong Friend of Match King Is Puzzled. New York. ? Time has not thinned I the elements of mystery linked with Ivar Kreuger's name In life und death. On the eve of the second anniver sary of the reported suicide of this Inscrutable figure In International j finance, all of his personal treasures recently were bought at auction by two buyers whose motives remain a riddle: Anders Jordahl, the match king's former secretary, attended the ?ale held "in a Jer sey City, N. J., ware house to satisfy a tax claim by the United States government, but he fled as soon as his identity became known. The legend again persists that Kreu ger's death was as false as his life. A few art dealers and a small group of persons were present when Kreuger's property went under the hammer. At the close of the proceed ings most of the effects of Kreuger's luxurious Park avenue upartment had been bidden in by two men for less than $8,000. They gnve their names, but the motive that had prompted their bidding remains unknown. Is it possible that they acted for Kreuger himself? Is be still alive? Did his great wealth enable him to simulate death? Is She Convinced? These questions one woman who best knew Kreuger ? the recluse, the enigma to his closest business asso ciates?has asked herself over and over since March, 1932, when Kreuger Does Work of 5 Men Miss Gay i>.

Eugene Talmadge of Georgia. was reported to have shot himself In his Paris apartment Her name Is Fru Ingeborg Eberth, the one woman whom Kreuger would have married at the expense of his career; the one woman he never "paid olT." She prefers to believe he Is dead, said Cordelia B. Makarlus. agenf In New York for Fru Eberth. Kreuger woaid have preferred death rather than be shorn of his far-flung power. Monarch of one of Europe's great est Industrial empires, Krueger looked upon death as a release This Is a theory held by Fru Eberth, yet she admits rumors of a huge death hoax might be true. Another man could have been burled In the expensive casket In Kreuger's place. It was sealed and never opened. The physician who signed the death certificate was Kreuger's friend. And there were reports a life mask had been made. Against these rumors was the fact that Kreuger had obtained a pistol and had made preparations to die. Fru Eberth has weighed carefully all of these circumstances, but she hopes none of them are true. May Know the Motive. The motive behind the secretlveness of the two buyers at the recent auc tion of Kreuger's effects may be known only to Fru Eberth. The two men may not even know themselves whom they were really representing at the sale. Fru Eberth lives In Stockholm, where she has re-established herself In her profession as a medical gym nast. Around her are a few per sonal keepsakes that she salvaged from the regal apartment that was closed after Kreuger's golden bubble broke over a credulous financial world. She sold many of his princely gifts to pay debts ? Just as the proceeds of the auction sale here went for back taxes. Her friends say she still won ders over the fate of the man whose house of cards collapsed before he had attained the complete power that , he so abundantly craved.

In a rough piece of Italian marble, Michel angelo saw an an gel. A visitor In an art gallery was heard to remark as he gazed Intensely at a picture, "I never saw colors like those In a sun set." The remark was overheard by the artist who painted the pic ture, and he re " piled, "But don't you wish you could?" The ability to see beneath the sur face Is a matter of trained vision. An eminent art critic said that the ab sence of ability to draw or paint' Is due to the lack of the power of observa tion. A discouraged young art student remarked to his professor that he ab solutely had no ability In the field of art. lie was told to look at a certain scene in nature until he saw some thing he never saw before. Thus he discovered within himself the hidden ability of an artist.

Something that might seem a little revolutionary to Little Bo Peep in the way of Bheepherding has been put into use by Paul Cox, who runs a large band of sheep near Pennawawa, on the Snake river. Mr. Cox's flock grazes about 3T> miles by automobile from his winter home, but by boat it Is only 11 miles. As a result he purchased In Spokane a .$1,200 speed boat, In which he travels back and forth from the sheep c&Nup to his home with supplies for his sheepherders. In the summer his range Is on the shores of Lake Coeur d'AIene, Idaho, and he will transport the boat there for summer duty.

UIC arm-in-arm wrolls The Household By LYDIA LE BARON WALKER NOT so many months ago and for many preceding years budgeting one's Income was a matter of serious concern. Every penny was appor tioned by enthusiasts on budgeting. They felt security In the plan. But within the past few months little haa been heard about budgets except the difficulties of balancing the nation's ( budget. 1'rivate budgets seem to be lost sight of. When Incomes fluctuate, planning budgets has an element of uncertainty far from satisfying. It Is only when on? has a reasonable i assurance of a i stipulated salary, wage or Income, or at least of Its minimum, that ex act apportionment 1 of It can prore valuable. What heads of families and Indi viduals ttnd_Jmper* atlve Is to live within their means. At the present time this Involves in a majority of cases a continual adjustment and i readjustment to lm mediate financial i circumstances. One knows what one actually has, ulso what It must do, and then what one would like It to do, could It be stretched fur enough. This Is the modern budgeting, so the budget has to be made and remade to suit known ; finances. Since budgeting Implies j dividing one's Income into correct i sums to cover living costs over some ; twelve months, the word has lost prestige. Adjusting the Plan. What actually occurs has not the air of affluence suggested by the word budget, but It Is of e<jual slg- i nlflcance. It Is monthly apportion- j ment of cash on hand, or It may be a weekly or even a dally manipulation of current funds, and always with ! the hope that some balance will be found for the coining period. Thrifty living Is promoted. After ail, Americans i have the name of being extravagant, so some curtailments, when this Is the case, should not be looked upon as actual misfortune. I As a matter of fact minute budget ing for a household has Its off side. There are Instances where this meticul ous consideration of the budget has 1 robbed the home of much of Its men- I tal comfort. Karh smallest oxpendl- | ture not definitely stipulated Tor In Its : apportioning becnme a problem and ' sometimes cause of altercations. Homemakers should not be discour aged If they cannot make ap definite budgets for the next eleven months as they have been accustomed to. Bud geting Is an approved method, but It Is not a necessity. The wise expendi ture of money Is the matter of Im portance. ?. Bell Syndicate. ? WNU Sorvlo*. Shotgun Starts Ancient Clock After Nine Year? Houston, Texas. ?
