Household budgets with accounting columns attached are now on hand to be distributeu to progressive women who desire to know where the money goes in order to stay its going. Just as balancing one's meals is conductive to the physical well-being of h? familv. so ftDDortionine the month ly income to suit the monthly expenditures makes a household healthier financially, it is claimed by experts in home economics. Instead of the dreaded conference at the end of each month when husband and wife rack their brains to know where all the dollars have gone, .tn neat little figures totaled at the bottom of long columns one finds just bow much went for food, for clothing, tor rent, for recreation, for charity, tor doctor's bills. And best of all, there is the savings column which re" cords whht is left for the education of the boy and girl or for the washtog machine and vacuum cleaner I Which will eliminate so many weary j hours. From the woman's division comes encouraging news that women of the Fifth Federal Reserve District are in rapidly increasing numbers making Icrfown their desire to place the conI Inct of the household on a business basis. The day has come, it is claimed. when the housewife sees the fam- j Oy Income as a whole, and when upon her shoulders is placed an equal share with her husband of the responsibility of making the family income provide for the family needs. The budget is based r annual incomes ranging from $900 to $5,000. It is prepared for the average family and since, after all, there is no aver* age family, the items must be considered flexible, to be bent to the individual need. An estimate has been made of the amounts of money which should be spent for th'j necessities j and luxuries of life. Announcement bas been made that Jk-*dgets may be had by addressing a request to the Woman's Division of i the War Loan Organization, Richmond, Va.

There is a regular soldier still ia France who is going to get the Cone gressional Medal of Honor. To him was given the supreme honor of breaking up a German attack all by himself, an attack, if it had been sue- ' cessful, that would fiave decided the fortunes of the battle in favor of the Hun. And be it noted that he could hare very well said to himself on that occasion that he "could not afford" to remain where he was, a target for the whnla n-prman armv. He could have very easily placed himself in the attitude some people have taken toward the Liberty loane and the War Savings campaign. He was just an American army corporal, a Yankoe non-com, but he didn't try to shirk any responsibility. It happened near Verdun, in the 27day battle of the Argonne. The regiment to which the corporal belonged was pretty badly shot up. The Huns had thrown out smoke screens and were attacking the Americans hard. The lone soldier was falling back with the others when he sighted a disabled French tank and a German machine gun. He planted that Hun rapid firer in the French tank and got busy. From his station he commanded a hill top over which the Boche must advance. As they came on in battalion formation he "swept them down" to use his own words, "like hay in front of a sickle." He had no one with him to feed that unfamiliar machine gun, remember. The water jacket on the gun boiled dry from the stream of bullets that kept spurting into the German masses. He emptied his canteen of water into the jacket and cooled it *ff a bit, and went methodically to work again, killing Germans. All ths time he was firing German cartridges collected from behind the tank. He was on the job and doing what he had been trained to do, and what ' 1 v:? dft UVnal, America sem mm uim ^ .. . ly the Huns called for a barrage to get that lone gunner in the smashed tank. They sent over something like 200 six-inch shells in an effort to put him and that gun out of action. "None landed," he reports. That sort of American spirit if needed now to make the coming gen? eration a prosperous and thrifty ona I To make America solid before the world for all time to come, each one of ns must "stand his ground" and da his part in this work of reconstruo' tion. We can &o more afford to ignore the | principles of thrift and saying and the splendid opportunity our government offers for saving and investment, than could the soldiers of America on French battlefields We have a task t? take care of that la ours and ours alone in this work of reconstruction and thrift.

There are scores who complain i vociferously and frequently that the road to wealth is always blocked. | Yet when a small opportunity opens I up, the capital necessary to take advantage of it is lacking.
