The eve of All Hallows is usually
the time for lot of innocent hilar-

boys, and mysterious witch games

Old FavOrites
For Everybody

All the Dear Old Songs Now Brought
Together I'm One Volume.
Some people like old wine: many people
love old friends, and everybody loves the
old songs.
As previously announced, The Bee is
offering a complete collection OF all the
old favorite songs brought together in one
beautiful big volume called Songs That
Never Grow Old"
All OF these songs have been compiled
and selected with the utmost care by the
most competent authorities and are
printed and bound all together, making
seven song books in one volume. There
are two styles of binding, one in paper
covers and the other in heavy English
cloth. The contents are the same. but,
of course, the cloth binding is more dur
able and with ordinary care should last
a lifetime.
An innovation in this edition are the
magnificent inllustratlons These consist
Of a rare galaxy OF sixty-nine wonderful
portraits of the worlds greatest vocal
artists, many in favorite costumes. The
list includes Caruso. Tetrazinni, Melba,
Slezak, Farrar, Bonci. Goritz, Scotti,
Fremstad and almost fifty others. None
of these portraits have ever been shown
In a work of this character, and they are
all reproduced from copyrighted phto-
graphs which have been approved by the
artists themselves. Every reader will
want to possess this rare and unique coll
lection.
In another collmn OF this issue will be
found a coupon In which is explained the
plan of distributing this beautiful book
Of songs. The Bee will undertake to dis
tribute an entire edition within a limited
tint and readers are urged to lose no
time in familiarizing themselves with the
plan.

years all the benefits arising from a re-
markable growth OF business, both in vol
ume and density. which ordinarily under
the law OF increasing returns should have
materially improved the position OF its
owners
Returns Are Decreasing.
But as a matter Of fact. the return
on property investment in 1913 was only
5.S per cent as against 5.4S per cent in
1898, and furthermore was the smallest
return in any OF the fifteen years OF the
period; the percentage of net corporate
income Cplus interest on funded debit on
total capital obligations In 1913 was but
SIS per cent, against SIS per cent in
1895, and with the exception Of the year
1899 It is the lowest OF any year in the
fifteen-year period: the net corporate in
come per cent on capital stock outstand-
ing held by the public in 1918 was only
9.e4 per cent. against SIS per cent In
1898. and here also the 1918 figure is the
lowest for any year in the fifteen-year
period. with the single exception of 1899
when the figure was s.s4 per cent.
THE conclusion to be drawn from these
facts Is that the increase Of expenses
and other outlRys beyond the company's
power to control has finally overcome
the advantages thus far realized OF ad'
vanced rates, abolition OF rebates. in
creased volume and density Of business
large expenditures OF capital and i'm
provement in plant and methods. The
| company is now confronted by a rapidly
decreasing rate OF return on property
investment and capital obligations, and
is unable to offset these tendencies by
any methods which it can at present
apply. or which seem to be practically
possible other than an advance in rates.

them. Her taste in reading is for his

Brady follows national legislation with
the keenest interest. She is usually
to be seen in the senate gallery when
any debate of Importance is in prog
ress on the floor.
Though her interests are for the
most part serious, the wife of Senator
Brady possesses in a marked degree
the charm of femininity. Young, clev-

is one of the most attractive figures

DISCUSSION ON DIAMONDS.

She was seated In the gallery and
looked at the solitaire on the third
finger of her left hand. 1t glistened
in the reflection of ruddy bushes. On
the floor of the senate they were talk
ing of diamonds. not the ace of dia-
monds, or even the queen, but of real
diamonds-the kind she wore on her
finger. Now. who would have
dreamed that stern senators would be
engaged in such an interesting discus
sion? She listened attentively, and
in her dainty memorandum book made
a note that German Southwest Africa
was entering into the production of
diamonds. Thus the American maid
ems fair will not have to make their
lovers pay tribute to the monopoly of
the South African syndicate
AS she bent her head to hear every
word that might be said, she caught
the information that most of the
stones in the new fields are secured
from near the surface of a large area
of diamondiferous gravel During
June, over 10000 carats were pro
duced. which exceeded all previous
records of the new field. And now"
she murmured to the sweet young
thing who sat beside her, "how many
do you suppose there will be next
June?" And again she blushed a rosy
red.
AS long as diamonds are diamonds
there will always be keen interest in
their production. whether discussed
in debate on the senate floor or in
the whispered condolences of the
maiden telling the story of the soil
taire. AS long as the feminine mind
remains under the fascination of the
flashing gem, the search will continue
for new fields and mines, to keep
pace with the demand for lovers most
costly pledges of lifelong constancy.

PURCHASE OF SUPPLIES.

Government purchases range from
needles and pins to battleships and
steam shovels. Uncle Sam requires
a wider variety of articles for the
use of his business than any corpora
tion in the world Incidentally, he
makes in the various industrial estab-
lishments of the government a large
number of commodities which are re-
quired in the administration of the
public business.
One of the perpleXiues long before
the departments at Washington was
the purchase of little things. The
Dockery commission found that the
purchase of stationery, fuel, furniture
and other supplies was subject to lit
tie uniformity of practice. Each de-
partment made its own purchases and
often different prices were paid for
the same article. The government IS
interests depended on whether the
purchasing officer was or was not a
close buyer. New regulations for the
purchase OF supplies were promul-
gated under a law which created a
board of awards to pass upon all con-
tracts for the purchase of depart
mental supplies.
The Colorado statesman., 1914-03-28

politics of the day are necessary to
the woman who moves in a society
largely made up of diplomats, states
men and public officials.
Few women enter public life in
Washington better equipped for its
demands than Mrs. James II. Brady,
the young bride of Senator Brady OF
Idaho. She not only has a natural
zest for politics and public questions,
but she has a well disciplined and
well trained mind. She spent three
years at the University of Chicago
and after that went to the University
of California. Mrs. Brady was grad
uated from the University of Califor-
mia and was the first woman to be
awarded diploma in political sci
ence by that institution. Here she
herself takes up the rather serious
interests of her girlhood, speaking
with characteristic modesty:
After l was graduated | went back
to Chicago, which is sociologically the
most interesting city in America. l

POPULAR WIFE OF THE BELGIAN MINISTER

One of the largest foreign resi-
dences in Washington is the Belgian
legation. Over this there presides as
hostess Nine. Havenith, wife of M.
Emmanuel Havenith, minister from
Belgium. Nine. Havenith is a young
American woman. When she came
back to Washington three years ago,
after long residence in Persia, she
returned to the scene of many girl
hood triumphs, for as Miss Helen
Ffoulke she was one of the bellies of
the capital. Her husband when she
was married to him, was counselor of
the legation. and had also served as
charge d'affaires during the prolonged
absence from Washington of Baron
Moncheur. at that time minister from
Belgium.
A few days before his marriage to
Miss Ffoulke, M. Havenith was ordered
to Teheran. 1t was at the Persian
capital that Nine. Havenith spent
the first few years of her married life,
and there her young son Horace was
born.

THE sEA-eoINe poueHNuT.

One of the juvenile guests at the
recent White House wedding caused
Josephus Daniels, the secretary Of
the navy, to forget the dignity of his
high Office, which he was doing his
best to protect and maintain at all
costs, especially at so solemn an oc-
casion.
The little future debutante entered
into conversation with the secretary.
Believing it would be nice to enter
tain him with topic in his own line
of work, she said, with a great air
of gravity:
We'll, Mr.. Secretary, l see you are
determined to make your department
n success and have ordered a couple
of doughnuts"
'Doughnuts?" repeated the secre-
tary, wrinkling his brow. "Oh. yes.
Oh, yes-doughnuts."
Then he was heard to smile many
feet around He didn't have the heart
to tell her how easily "dreadnaughts"
could be read "doughnuts," especially
If you were only reading the head

over the previous year In spite or
the fact that the season was less ia
vorable and the area reduced. Over
four per cent more stock was grazed
as the result of increased forage pro-
duction and improvements in handling
stock, especially sheep.
The system of range management
employed by the forest service is held
to offer hope of relief to the average
citizen concerned over the dwindling
supply of meat products and their
alarming rise in cost. The national
forests furnish abundant forage sup
plies, opportunity for the adoption of
the best methods, freedom from live
stock diseases, and protection in tho
enjoyment of all rights and privileges.
Cattle from the Hayden national for
est in Colorado took the grand cham
pionship prize at the national live
stock show in Denver, and in many
cases the lambs from the forests
topped the market. Losses from pred
atory animals are growing less as
the wolves, bears and other animals
are killed off by forest officers.
