Miss Bessie M. Philp. heed of the School of Household Science at Macdonald Collage, told delegates to the Que- bec Women's Institute convention at Sta Anne de Bellevue recently. The minister considered estimates from different departments and then raised the amount needed to meet them, she pointed out,’ while the housewife first must estimate what income she could depend on and than "cut her coat according to her cloth." Budgets must differ according to the size of the family, their ages and sex, the father's occupation. the mother's ability in household management and the standard of living, she said. Besides providing in the» budget for clothing, food, operating expenses, care of health, etc" many housewives would rnske provision for books, music and oth- er things which enrich lite, Miss Philp added, but to all she gave the advice to cultivate the habit of thrift, live within their income and save for a rainy day.

Emory, of Toronto, previous- ly had been reelected by acclnma- tion as president and the remain- ing officers were chosen at the final session. An invitation from Toronto to hold the next meeting there, 1934, was accepted, One resolution expressed s. de_ sire to open negotiations with the General Council of Public Health in England and Wales for the plum pose of establshing reciprocity with Canada in the matter of registra- tion of trained nurses.

A resolution will be addressed to the Minister of Pensions and National Health re- questing that. a representative from the Canadian Nurses Associaton be appointed to the Dominion Council of Health. Mt" lengthy discussion and am- endmelits regarding the entrance examinaton to training schools, ti: was resolved that these schools set Junior matriculation or high school graduation or graduation from a special high school nursing course, as the entrance standard, Other resolutions included: that superintendents of nurses in the United States be requested to make certain, before accepting a student, that the student will be allowed to enter the United States; that; a, school be established to give in- struction in the five departments of medicine. surgery, obstetrics, Pediatrics and communicable dis- Cases, and that all students in ap- proved training schools should be at least nineteen years of age, have a. yearly physical examination, and be subject to an eight-hour day, o, including class-room hours if pos- sible.

Recommendations iwere made that private duty nurses should possess minimum academic quali- fications equivalent to Junior mat- riculation.

Like the moon which is queen of the heavens, the pearl casts a mystic spell over the minds of men. Since antiquity, both these lovely, legendary queens have been worshipped for their chaste beauty and soft silvery sheen. More closely resembling the moon in appearance if not in magic lure, is June's other birthstone, the moonstone. For centuries. natives of India have believed the moon- stone to be in close affinity with the moon, because its lustrous blue color so closely resembles moon- light, from which the Indians believe the gem receives its color. And here is the origin of a. phrase current in our everyday speech. ‘Filese natives of India firmly believed that the beat verietim of blue moonstone are washed by the tides when the sun and moon are in certain harmonious relations at intervals of 2i years. Hence our familiar saying, “Once in a blue moon," to denote a period of time! It has also been believed that the silvery, moonike color of the moon- stone sctualiy varies according 00 the changes in the phases of the moon. One of the theories advanc- ed in explanation of this phenom- enon was that a lively spirit dwelt within the gem. The Orientals believed this spirit tn be a living potent for good. Great magical and mystical power has been attributed to boifh the pearl and the moonstone. For instance. it was once maintained that pearls. distilled. in water. brought relief for a. number of ail- ments, inciudinS insanity. And as late as 1670, a. king 0f Denmark ordered his court pharmacist tn prepare a, pearl-milk tonic for h's royal offspring! We are lndebbed b0 the pearl for the discovery of our country, for it was the lure of fine pearls that attracted the Spanish ctmqulsta- clores into the wilds of the New World.

B-UYING EXTRA veans OF LIFE s‘: ~ i No Security Pact For United States GENEVA, June 27. A.P.)-—Un.lt- ed States disarmament conferenct delegates were somewhat disappoint- ed today when President Hoover's P10905111 for slashing the world’: armaments approximately one third wer¢ temporarily sidetracked. Instead of taking up the Hoover plan at private discussions being held by the British, French and United States representatives. the conferees dismissed France's sug- gestion for reducing arms by cut.- ting budget appropriations. The Americans hoped to bring about full consideration of the Hoover program by the general conference, if not in the inform- al three powers discussions. Meanwhile, in informed French quarters ll; was said the Paris gav- emment might be satisfied in its demands for security if the United States congress would adopt Ben- ator Claude A. Swansons plan to authorize the President to consult the interested powers in case cf an international emergency threaten- ing war. This comment was made in con- nectlon with news dspatchcs from Washington quoting high govern- ment; ofllclals to the effect that under no conditions would the Un- lted States enter upon a security pact. The French commentators said the Swanson plan would not require the United States to participate in any consultative pact but, merely would give congressional approval to the president's joining in con- sultations if he deemed that step wise. Although this description of the French attitude came from source! ordinary well informed, ii; was not given out officially. FLYING GRANDMOTHER AITENDS GRADUATION MONTREAL. June 27.—(C.P.)— Mrs. H.
