Does Y. NJ. G.. A. Pay?

About a million dollars a month
are being invested in the Young
Mems Christian Associations of this
continent. One association building
is being dedicated every six days
throughout the year. This pace was
kept up without abatement during
the recent panic. The business world
is giving thus lavishly to this organ
ization, because it finds that it pays
to do So James H. Eckels, former
ly comptroller of the United States
treasury, at one time president OF
the Chicago Y. M. c. A. and at pres
ent at the head of one of the largest
banking institutions of the country,
makes the following statements con-
corning the attitude business men
should assume toward the associa-
ton:
''The appeal which the Young
Mems Christian Association from
time to time makes to business men
is not and ought not to be regarded
as an appeal for charity. 1t is, in
stead, the asking for an expenditure
on the part of those to whom the
request is addressed, as legitimate
to the furtherance of their business
enterprises as that which is incurred
for police and fire insurance or any
other outlay which has regard for
the protection and preservation Of
their property interests.
ct is as essentially legitimate and
yields as much return as the very
money paid to the employe himself.
OF necessity it must be made to make
of best effect such payment. In
short, it is sum which ought to
be set apart each year as an improve
ment and betterment fund and the
man who fails to give heed to the
call of the association after once
being made acquainted with its mer-
it's, makes so grave an error as to
reflect upon the soundness of his
business judgment"
The experience of a large investor
OF money in many business enter
prises should be worth considering
in this connection. VIM. NJ. Ladd of
Portland, who has given about $50.-
900 to the association in that city,
says: tThe Ladd estate considers
the money we have put into the
Portland association the best invest
ment we ever made"

ROOSEVE[T'S VISIT
To LONDON

London, March 24-In view OF
the fact that considerable discussion
has been aroused by the action OF
the corporation in deciding to con-
fer the honorary freedom of the city
OF London on former President
Roosevelt on the occasion of his ap-
preaching visit, the London press is
taking pains to explain the proposed
honor and it's significance.
1t seems that though a presenta-
ton of this kind is called the hon
orary freedom, foreigners of distinc-
ton. on whom it is bestowed are nat
urally not expected to take the oath
or make the declaration Of allegiance
to the British Crown, and they are
consequently not recorded as Free
men in the Chamberlain's Court.
But in every other respect the an
cient ceremonial is carried out, and
the distinguished visitor Is handed a
copy of the resolution of freedom in
a gold box and the Chamberlain Of
fers him the right hand of fellow
ship as a citizen of London. This
was the procedure adopted in the
cases of Garibaldi, General Grant,
George Peabody and Count Ferdin-
and de Lesseps.

INCREASE N COST
Of LIVING
SEATTLE REPORT SHOWS DE-
TAIL OF INCREASE-PRICE OF
BOARD INCREASED 1915 PER
CENT IN IS MONTHS.

The increase in the cost of living
| during the last few years is clearly
shown in some statistics compiled
in the interest of teachers in the pub
lie schools of Seattle.
According TO the statistics the
price of board at three of the prin-
cipal boarding houses in Seattle has
increased u per cent in the last
| sixteen months.
The price of shoes has gone up in
all instances except in those where
the product was graded down. One
firm stated that calfskin had gone
up 80 per cent in two years and that
20 per cent increase in the price
of leather could be looked for soon.
Frederick & Nelson report that
| dry goods have advanced from % to
so per cent in the last two years
and Baillargeon and Cheasty report
an advance of from 10 to SO per
cent.
In the millinery line the advance
has been from 2 to 25 per cent.
The National Cloak company re-
port that suits have gone up from
81 to $25 in 1906 to $40 to $40 in
1909 and 1910.
An ex-president of the State Med
ical Association states that the charge
for house visits has increased from
| 81 to SO and that special fees have
increased from $25 to $50.
The Seattle Commercial club is of
the opinion that it costs per cent
more to live in Seattle now than it
did in 1906.
The same report shows that the
price of beef has increased 33 per
cent since 1906, sugar IA per cent,
| flour 23.4 per cent, butter 1916 per
cent and milk 25 per cent.
The report deals in detail with all
the usual living expenses, and con-
cludes with a showing that Seattle
teachers are among the most poorly
paid.

Chicago, March 24.-It is now a
misdemeanor for any woman to wear
a long hatpin in public places in
Chicago. Any woman cought wear
ing one is liable to arrest and a fine
of $50.
The city council last night, by O
vote of 6S to 2, passed an anti-hat-
pin ordinance. 1t was passed in
spite of many Kisses and "boos" from
the galleries, where a crowd of wo-
men had gathered to protest against
the measure on the ground that the
city had no right to attempt to regu-
late woman's wearing apparel, and
that long hatpins formed woman's
only weapon of defense

Big Ship Goes Under Hammer

Chester, Pa, March 24.-The ship
Tor many years was one of the lead
ing shipbuilding firms of America
was offered for sale at public auc-
ton here today to settle the estate
of John B. Roach At these yards
were built the cruisers Chicago, the
Boston and the Atlanta, as we'll as
the gunboat Dolphin, the pioneer steel
vessels of the new navy, and all four
of which are still afloat, nearly thir-
ty years after their launching. Two
of them, the Chicago and the Dol
phin, are still in commission.
At the time of the death of John
Roach, the founder of the firm, two
thirds of the iron vessels in the
coastwise trade and several ships in
the China and Australian trade had
been built by him. The entire fleets
of the Savannah, the Ward, the Old
Dominion and Pacific Mail compan-
ies had been built at the Roach
yards here
When the four steels vessels were
built for the navy political influence
delayed their acceptance by the gov
eminent. This delay caused the
failure Of the firm and led to the
premature death of the senior mem
Der. For a time John B. Roach ran
the yard successfully. Afterward 1t
passed into the hands Of the Della
ware River Iron Shipbuilding and
Engine Works.
