THE BACHELOR GIRL
(By Helen Rawland.)


Jealousy is the ptomaine poisoning
of love.
1t is not half so profitable to a wo-
man to be able to converse in six
languages as it is to be able to keep
silent in one; nor-Heaven forgive us!
half so difficult!
A bachelor can always forgive him
self that it is the height Of altruism
for him to refrain from marrying one
woman in order to scatter sweetness
and light around among lot of wo-
men.
Love is the mental cocktail that
makes the world go round; but too
many loves like too many cocktails,
are apt to leave you with that nauseat-
ing "never again" sensation about
the heart.
The first thing a man does when he
falls in love with a girl is to tell her
all about his past conquests, with
frills and variations; and then he Won
ders why she shivers every time he
looks at pretty woman.
A man is the neatest creature Ill
creation when it comes to thing like
a rip in his wifes sleeve or a spot on
her shoe.
The only thing that fortunes a man
worse than the indifference Of the wo-
man he loves is the love of woman to
whom he is Indifferent.
The average man is so broad-minded
that he can not concentrate his thought
on one little thing at time, and so
big-hearted that he can not concen-

| trate MS love on one llttle woman at 9
time
In the matter of love, human judg-
ment always fails; and it's just as
safe to choose a husband by counting
the leaves on a daisy or tossing up a
coin as it is to select him by scientific
system Of eugenic methods.
Filtration is merely the frills around
the edge of love, and courtesy is the
frills around the edge of charity; but,
alas! what would this dull old world
be without few frills?
There is often as much difference
between a married man" and "hus-
band" as there sometimes is between
religion" and goodness
Every bride secretly believes that
her husband would make an ideal NOV
ing picture actor because of his beauty
and every seasoned wife KNOWS
that hers would because of his ability
for acting"
Every time man hits at a woman's
vanity he makes dent in her love.
Making a widower of susceptible
man is carrying oranges to California.
A mans first lie wounds woman
heart, the second breaks it, the third
mends it, and all the rest simply
harden it.
Discrimination is the price of peace
but it's awfully hard for married
woman to preserve the peace by de-
ceiving her husband into thinking that
he is deceiving her every time he tries
The man who divorces his consci-
ence will find Fate coming around to
collect the alimony regularly every
week.

Talk of Mining ReDiUal

The Mining and Engineering World is authority for
the statement, based upon reports received from all parts
of the country where the mining industry in any form
prevails, that a return OF prosperity is imminent. OF
course, some mining sections have not felt the pinch of
hard times so much as others, but there is no doubt that
a real revival would be heartily welcomed. The World
says that advices from various mining sections of the
United States make it evident that the mining industry is
getting its second wind and will shortly be forging ahead
with renewed vigOr.
The indications are that the days of depression in min
ing are about over and that the mines will be in good shape
to profit by the opportunity that will be presented. Some
of the outward indications of this are the improvement in
the metal situation and the fact that many mines that have
been idle are resum1ng operations, and that others that
have been worked below capacity are putting on more
men, also that prospectors and lessees are active. These
evidences can be found on every hand, but especially at the
iron and copper mines of the Lake Superior region, at the
lead-silver, zinc and copper mines of the Occur dAlenes,
the metal mines of Colorado and Nevada and the lead-zinc
mines of Joplin and other districts. Much development
work has been and still is being carried on so that a large
and continued production can be made when the demand
comes. The Occur dAlene district did not feel the effects
of the depression as severely as did some other sections,
and a period of unequaled prosperity is predicted for the
mines of that district when normal market conditions
return.
Mining activities in Colorado are such that an OPP
timism akin to that of the old days prevails in mining cir
cles. A great factor in stimulating mining activity in
that state was the remarkable strike at the Cresson mine
in the Cripple Creek camp. The object lesson of this has
been a stimulant to the mines throughout the state. En-
couraging reports also come in from Nevada, Arizona
California and elsewhere. The gloom is being dispelled
and the feeling of optimism is returning.

Opening the DardaneNes

The success of the allied fleet in reducing the turkish
forts and penetrating the outer passage OF the Dardanelles
NAV prove one of the most decisive features or the present
war. If the way is finally opened, Russia Will have an
outlet to the sea and the danger OF a turkish INVASION OF
Fevpt will have been reduced to a minimum. So tar the
fighting in the eastern and western theaters seems to have
been barren of decisive results. if Germanys toothold III
Belgium and a small strip of France is excepted. The
Sacramento Union, in commenting editor1any on ths
phase of the great struggle in Europe, says:
The battleships of the allies which are pounding the
forts of the Dardanelles to open a way to Constant1nople
are breaking down the barrier which has shut Russia III on
the south. They are also breaking away the gates which
prevent Russian wheat from feeding the armies or the
allies. This narrow strip which connects the waters OF
the Mediterranean through the Aegean sea with the Sea
of Marmora and separates Europe from ASIA, is forty
seven miles long and at its narroWcst part is about Il mile
wide. In places it widens to four miles.
Ever since IS4I, Turkey has dominated the Daroa-
neUes with the express consent of the powers OF Europe.
The straits were closed to warships and even merchant
vessels were required to submit their papers to the urk-
ish authorities before they could pass through the Darda-
nel1es. Through this gateway poured the Russian gram TO
feed the nations of southern and western Europe. Turkey,
backed by the powers, particularly England and Germany,
was the watch dog to keep the Russians from reacl1nS the
Mediterranean.
When the present war broke out and the new align
ment of nations brought England and Russia on the same
side. it was to the interest of the allies to open to the allies
and Russia the gate of the Black Sea. Then Turkey EN-
tered the war on the side of Germany. Immediately d new
situation was developed. German artillery and German
punners were sent to the aid of Turkey and the Dardane.les
were fortified more strongly than ever. If the ships 81
the allies break through the Dardanelles and ultlmatrv
open the way to the Black Sea, they will not only make
Constantinople the easy prey of Russian armies, but they
will open the way for the Russian supplies OF gran! Tor the
other nations. This grain will bring in exchange gold to
assist Russia in financing the war. The battle at the
Dardaneles is of infinitely more Importance than the CON
flict OF the vast armies on the PLAINS OF Poland.

Metal Production of 1914

Notwithstanding the fact that there was little encOur-
aeement in the general business conditions OF the United
States during the year 1914, the period nevertheless proved
not entirely unsatisfactory to those engaged IN the mining
and mtallurSiCal industries, says a WelEknOWn authority.
While it was not in fact a year of general advancement,
yet gains are shown to have been made IN PrOductlon III d
great many instances.
That some branches of the industry suffered from the
disturbed conditions as a result of the European war and
from other causes is apparent from the decreases III output
of certain minerals and metals. But it was generally adj
mitted that such would be the case, and the surprise is that
the decreases were not more numerous and OF larger pro
portions.
AS nearly as can be estimated the mineral and metal
production of the United States in 1914 was valued at
$2,O5O, 10000. a decline of some S7oOooOoO from the out
put of 1913. No other country III the world can CLAIM the
distinction of having produced so large a valuation OF mn
erals and metals. The history of mining IN the United
States reads more like a fairy tale, for its advancement has
been wonderful.
A remarkable fact in connection with the mineral and
metal production of the United States is that production
and consumption generally have run so close together as to
make it necessary, for the sake of economy and incidental
profit, to handle material that but a few years ago was con
sidered either too low grade or Il waste by-product. Ad-
vanced knowledge of metallurgv and chemistry, coupled
with a keen sense of operating the works on more rational
principles so that they would yield satisfactory dividends
during a reasonable lifetime have, with the aid of improved
transportation facilities. made possible the profitable devel-
opment of many a remote mineral deposit OF low grade.
The combined progress in the mining industry OF the
United States has for its essential basis a great, seemingly
inexhaustible mineral wealth, but the favorable and better
its growth, and then, too, more attention has been paid in
the last few years to the cost of producing the various
metals, and wherever possible improved labOr-sav1ng appl1-
ances have succeeded the equipment of our earlier days.
Greater care, too, has been taken in preparing ore for treat
ment, and the progressive sprit of those in charge OF mines
