The budget is based on annual in comes ranging from $900 to $5,900. It is prepared for the average family and since, after all, there is no aver age family, the items must be consid ered flexible, to be bent to the in di vidual need.

UluIl LONE SOLDIER HALTS ADVANCE OF GERMANS Plarvted Machine Gun in Abandoned Tank and .Mowed Down Huns Like Hay Before Sickle. There; is r" regular soldier still in France wno is going to g"et ti e Con gressional Medal of Honor. . To him was given the supreme honor " cf breaking up a German attack all by himself, an attack, if it had been suc cessful, that would have decided the fortunes of the battle in favor of the Hun. ' . -" : And be it noted that he could have very well said to himself on, that oc casion, that he "could not afford" to remain where he was, a target for the whole German army. He . could have very easily placed himself in the attitude some people hve taken toward the Liberty loans and the War Savings campaign. He was just .'an American army corporal, a Yankee non-com, but he didn't try to shirk iny responsibility. . " It happened near Verdun, in the 27 day battlfe5 of the Argonne. v The . regl- ment to which the corporal belonged was pretty badly shot up. The Huns had thrown out smok- screens and were attacking the "Americans hard. The lone soldier was falling' oack with the others when he sighted a dis- abled French Hank and a German ma chine gun. He. planted that Hun rapid firer in the French tank and got busy. From his' station he comm ind- ed a hill top over which the BoChe must advance. As . they came "on in battalion formation he "swept them down" to nsp. his own words, "like hav in front of a irVtp". " He had no one with him - tek. that unfami "ar machine gun, remem-J. ber The water i jacket. ...on., the; gun ;. boiled dry from the streani:of bullsts; that kept spurting into the German! masses.

Final- ajly the Huns called for a barrage to get that lone gunner in the smashed, tank. They sent over something like j 200 six-men saeiis in an enori io pui him and that gun eut of action.! "None landed," he reports. j That sort of American spirit is needed now te make the coming gen eration a prosperous and thrifty one. To make America solid before the ; werld for all time to come, each one . of us must "stand his ground" and do j his part in this work of reconstruc- tion.
