Alice soon proved that she could bat, field and run the bases better than any of her com- petitors. There was nothing then for ‘Oou'h Phil Morrison to do but give her the job.

Woodhouse, head of the economic division, U. 8. Bu. reau of Home Economics, is direct- ing the efforts to make budgeting simple, concise and free from dis- crepancies. She {s a graduate of Me- Gill and Chicago universities, and !formerly taught economics at Smith college. TInvestigations bearing directly on the question of simplified accounts were started more than a year ago when Mrs. Woodhouse asked about 250 homemakers in various sections of the United States for detailed in- formation on their household ex- penditures. These are being sum- marized and analyzed as rapidly as | possible to obtain accurate data as for what things or services people |now are spending thelr money. The | reports represent farm, business and profeasional families of different so- clal positions and incomes. | In the meantime, to help those | who wish to be more aystematic in handling family money, Mrs. Wood- ihouso explains that special account |books and intricate ledgers are not essential to a good budget policy. An |ordinary blank book will serve for [tho entries, she says, if expenditures [are planned with sufficlent foresight {and maintained with parseverance on | the part of each member of the fam- |ily. | "The really tmportant thing about | keeping accounts, whether in the home or in business, Mrs. Wood- house says, is to have them in such form that one can see at a glance how much is being spent on any group of items and compare it with {the estimate for that type of ex- pense, {In a contest in which hundreds competed, Signorina Livia Mar chosen by the Roman newspaper Tevere to repre- studies—English sent Italy in the International Pageant of Pulchritude at Gal- The Gazzetta del Popelo of Turin, the signorina’s home, says of her: “She has a dashing and elegant keenest figure.
