LOCAL FINANCIAL GOSSIP

From the statements OF the banks and
trust companies OF the city, which appear
elsewhere in this issue Of The Washing
ton Herald. it Will be seen that the local
financial institutions have shown excel
lent progress since the last call OF the
Comptroller OF the Currency. The gains
since the last call are probably not so
large as were shown last spring. as the
percentages Of increase at that time were
exceptionally large. owing to the recov-
cry from the effects OF the stringency.
but the level Of activity shown at the
last call has been maintained, and the
banks and trust institutions show an
increase which is regarded as highly sat

CIRCULATION
a rMo. HoRNEp DILEMMA.

The hard-coal situation has no com
fort In II for the consumers.
At this juncture II is impossible to
tell whether there is going to be an
issue or not
But the fear Of a strike is likely to
make the more terrified give rush
order for next years coal at winter
prices, and some scribes are cruel
enough to allege that this Is the mo-
tive OF the early agitation, and II has
to be admitted that the barons are
not above suspicion.
The conference between the anthra-
cite coal operators and the represen-
tatives Of the United Mine Workers
union viii take place in Philadelphia
this week on Thursday. at which the
terms OF a new agreement to take the
place OF the existing contract to ex-
pire March 81, swill be discussed. Both
sides are now sparring for the position.
The negotiations are likely to be pro-
tracted. At the outset the miners will
probably ask for more than they ex-
-pect to get, and the operators will
reject more than they expect ultimate
ly to deny.
The operators claim to have more
coal than usual on hand and that the
outlook for successful strike is poor,
while the miners allege that they have
a full treasury and can keep up the
siege longer than ever.
The operators will not mind tenn
porary cessation OF production and the
union has several hundred thousand
dollars in the treasury. If the sus-
Iengion should be extended the u11b-
lie would, Of course, have to foot the
bill in the form Of higher prices for
ccal.
In fact. the prospect is that the
winter price will be the ruling price.
and that the public will be bled.

not.
There is something akin TO crimi-
nalty in these issues which impose

and stubbornness Of operators and

THE FAULr.FINpINe FEW.

II does not seem possible to do any
thing without creating antagonism
or adverse criticism. This country is
pretty well satisfied with the globe
traversing feet Of battleships. not only
as an exhibit of enterprise and power,
out an advertisement Of the nations
greatness and ability. 1t takes a
wealthy, progressive and aspiring ma
tion to accomplish feat like that;
but the fault-fnders are now exhibit
ing s20,0o0,000 as the cost Of the trip
It did cost something. but it is still
doubtful if It cost more than it came
70.
There are different ways Of looking
at costs, and there are many state and
national expenses which cannot be
balanced on the books like a grocery
account. The good roads movement
Is one guch. and lots Of well-meaning
people regard it as extravaganza, al
though It can be shown that the cost
of hauling loads over good roads is
not half what the cost Of hauling is
over bad roads.
The defenders Of the expense say
that It is only a little more thar the
coet Of maintenance would have been
at home. and that the experience Of
the officers and men and the increased
efficiency In handling ships and guns
IS worth all It cost.
II did not strike the great nations
es being unwise, and it is not likely to
be the last great feet OF battleships
10 encircle the globe. II It was the
first II is more than likely that Great
Britain will be the next country to
indulge IN SUCH an exhibit of ships and
men and armament.
It is always wen TO count the cost
Of thing; but all do not always ap-
pear to be able TO tell when they have
their moneys worth. The Bulletin
does not think there was any money
wasted in the worlds tour by the Am
erican battleship fleet. The outlay was
great, but the results cannot all be
summed up for some years to come.

HORACE JOHNSON SATISFIED.

Horace Johnson, the weather proph-
ct of Middle Haddan, has declared
the war ended between himself and
Chief Willis L. Moore Of the national
weather bureau. Since Moore predict
ed the best of weather in the latitude
of Washington on March 4th, and
Horace Johnson warned him to have
his rain coat and rubber boots ready
for he would need them, the contrast
is a triumph for connecticut's fore
caster.
OF course washington had the most
horrible kind of weather and every
body needed hip boots and rain coats
and everything to keep them dry and
comfortable. Uncle Horace has half
million witnesses OF his accuracy
and OF CHIEF Moore's lack of it.
When it comes to a maaif station of
the "cock-s doodle doc" spirit there is
nothing w1generous about Uncle Hor-
ace. He viii carry the war no farther,
for he must be recognized as the
weather Napoleon on the most auspic-
ious occasion the country will know
for four years. He doesn't depend
upon reports and wires from stations,
as Chief Moore does, but just keeps
informed upon the planet readings of
the greater forecasters. He knows,
where Accuracy dwells.
The Bulletin would advise Chief
Moore always to keep in sight of the
Hlckian forecasts and to have a little
faith in them.
Uncle Horace keeps posted upon all
forecasts Of atmospheric phenomena,
and he hits the mark about as well as
most Of them.

New Lingerie Idea.

The latest touch for lingerie is to
have cherry ribbon bows to fasten UP
the dainty garments instead of the old
familiar baby blue and pale pink This
is a decided change and one that in
dicates a complete revolution in the
general dressing OF the particular wo-
man. Where before she attempted to
wear only feminine garments of the
soft shades, she now would not think
of wearing the plain, white gown with.
out some touch OF splashy embroid-
cry.
As you see, she carries out the idea
even to her dainty bits Of lingerie.
Something really definite must be
worn and while all of the ennbroider-
ed undergarments are quite simple,
and trimmed only With hand emlrroid
cry or a band of real valenciennes lace
the color Of ribbons makes up for lack
OF feminine frills and furbelows.

CARE OF FERNS.

With proper care table ferns should
last two months. Many people are even
more successful with them.
They must be kept moist, not soak
ing wet.
DO not allow them to become chilled
A temperature of from go to 10 degrees
is best.
The plants should be placed in
window, where they win receive light
and sun for at least a part Of the day.
They should be watered every day,
kat not too much. Be sure that the
water is cold, as warm water is iniuri-
Gus TO ferns.
AS soon as any Of the leaves get vel
low down near the root cut them away.
A good way to prolong the life Of the
plant is to repot Il, placing about two
inches OF crushed leaves OF the bottom
Of the DOT.
