The principal savings to the credit
Of the Department arose primarily
through the enforcement of competition
among the bidders for the armor plate
and projectile contracts. competition
never before attained to the same de-
gree and which resulted in cut of
nearly S2,000,0 900 in these items alone.
The result is thus explained by Sec
rotary Daniels.

a large quantity Of armor plate Is

breadth of the land in order that every
manufacturer may bid. Theoretically,
no competitor is allowed to bid who is
engaged in any competition to keep W
prices. When the bids are received
they are opened. and 1t is. believe. the
general impression that the lowest bid
der in what has been an open contest
receives the award of the contract.
"Now let us see what was actually
done in the case of the contracts for
5000 tons of armor plate to be used on
the new battleship Pennsylvania. which
will cost the Government in the neigh
borhood of $3,j00.0O0.

The shaving prices over there are

cents in American money!, with hair

couldn't very well expect extra touching
up for such small charges. But you
must remember that nickel goes twice
as far there as It does in Uncle Sans
country in purchasing power, and, any
way, that has nothing to do with the
question.
IF they had to pay double the prices

And they're so set in their ways that

British BARRIERS who come to this
country with the intention of following
their trade find themselves up against
a hard proposition. Their American
colleagues put them on level with
graduates from the barber schools who
have learned the gentle art of chin
scraping by free practice upon hoboes.
