She prefers to believe he Is dead, said Cordelia B. Makarius; agent In New York for Fru Kreuger would have preferred death rather than be shorn of his far-flung power. Monarch of one of Europe's greatest 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 buried Is the expensive casket In Krengei's place. It was sealed and never opened. The physician who signed the death certificate was ranger's Mend. And there were reports a life mask had been made. Against these rumors was the tact that Kreugar 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.

Every penny was' apportioned by enthusiasts oa budgeting.

They felt security la the plan. But within the past few months little has been heard about- budgets except the difficulties -of balancing the -rations -budget Private budgets seem to be lost sight of. When Incomes fluctuate, planning budgets has an dement of nncortalnty far from satisfying. It is only when one baa a reasonable assurance of a stipulated salary, -wage or Income, or at least of Its mlnlmunv that exact apportionment of tt can prove valuable; What toads of families and Individuals find imperative la to live within their means.
