THE HABIT or coNcEALlNG
ORDERS.

There are complaints in the trade
papers about cancellations of orders
in some lines OF business. 1t is sore
subject in commercial circles at all
times. In periods of quiet trade, this
feature is likely to be particularly
marked. Probaly the war situation
has led 10 some cancellations. Three
or four months ago when many or
ders we're given for spring delivery
a great many people felt that the var
would be over before this coming
summer. Few persons take that view
today
Among manufacturers and whole
sale dealers, the habit of cancelhng
orders is one of the bugbears OF busi-
ness. Goods that are completed Or
under way and thus refused may be
all out of style by another year The
seller may lose just as heavily as II
the customer had taken them. and
then gone into bankruptcy. This
causes friction and encouragement
and so common is the habit that ilI
NEST restrict business.
From the view point of the retailer,
a cancellation OF previous order isl
sometimes a necessity for very sal
yation. II SO. a mistake must have
been made at the start in too lib
eral purchase from some persuasive
salesman.

THE DEMAcoGuE

session they would understand rhs

also have a fair understanding OF

pie Of the state their only Information
as to what really goes on in the leg
islature. They are honest and want
to be fair. They sit at their table
day after day and listen to a con
tinuous flow of language-mere emp
ty and unmeaning words as a rule.
These men know that four out Of five

HOW to PreUent
Poultry Diseases

Next week Prof. A. c. Smith, of
the University of Minnesota, will
tell how to prevent disease in the
poultry yard and how to have
healthy flocks of strong, vigorous
birds. He will tell how to detect
the first symptoms of disease and
identify them in their incipient
stages. Watch for his article,
which contains the results of years
of practical and scientific training.

NATURAL GAS WEALTH

1t is as unsafe as it is ungracious
to prophesy the loss of any national
resource. For a hundred years the
immediate waning of our natural
gas supply has been foretold; yet
State after State has discovered new
fields until half the Union, from Ala
bama to Michigan and from Wash
ington to New York, is drawing upon
this cleanest of earth's ready-made
fuels. The year 1913 broke the rec
ord in production with considerably
more than half a trillion cubic feet,
a quantity equivalent in heating
power to about 25,000,000 tons of
coal.
No one can justly estimate the
value of the country's annual output,
because it has been supplied free to
factories, sometimes for score of
years, or has been sold unmetered,
inviting waste. We do know, how
ever, that it has multiplied tenfold
the population through large dis
tricts and has once, at least, played

Discussing the municipalities OBJ
legations in this emergency, Mr..
Howe declared that every public
building, every armory, even every
school house if necessary, should be
thrown open to house the unfortu-
mates. He proposed that the city's
recreation piers be covered over,
heated and supplied with cots 50
that many thousands could sleep
there. And as to feeding, he said
that the Government feeds the i'm
migrants at a cost of 8 cents, and
the city could do as well If it would
organize facilities for the purpose
He calculates that the town should
provide at once lodgings for $4,000

WOMAN'S PEACE PARTY

Women are, at the last, the great
est sufferers by war. Its burdens
and its horrors fall upon them, while
it's glory and pageantry are not for
them. They must give their hus-
bands, their brothers, their sons, as
food for powder, while they have no
voice in determining the issues. The
economic burdens fall on them as
they do not on any other class.
Therefore, the organization Of a
Woman's Peace Party, which is de-
signed to be made national and per-
haps international in its scope, is a
matter of more than ordinary in
terest. The time is come when the
voice of motherhood and of woman
hood must be heard. 1t must be
made potent, not only in deciding
whether in particular circumstances
there shall be war, but in building
up a sentiment, in the hearts and
minds of men, that will at last make
war impossible.
Militarism, whether in time of war
and wholesale murder, or in time of
peace under the back-breaking bur-
dens of gigantic preparedness, finds
it's victims among the, women and
the children quite as much as among
the men. To the inspiration and the
teaching and the better influence of
womankind the world at last must
turn for release from the ideals of
savagery that make war possible
and that bring international moral
ity into derision and contempt. In
an age of law, the highest law of all
has completely broken down. There
is no international code, no interna-
tional sentiment of square-dealing
and equity, that is able to enforce
its rule against the malicious and de-
signing policies of men gone mad
with power and the lust of power
There will be no right adjustment OF
national policies to moral aspirations
until the influence of women makes
itself felt in the molding of the
worlds thought, the guidance of the
minds of children, the direction Of
those wider sweeps of public affairs
wherein all humanity is entitled tt
have it's true interests weighed anc
considered.
The Woman's Peace Party is th'
herald of a better and brighter day
May it prosper and grow powerful
to realize it's worthiest ambitions!

a dominant part in Transforming an
agricultural into a manufacturing
State.
Ten years ago 10000 miles of pipe
line conducted natural gas to several
thousand manufacturing establish
ments, among them glass factories,
brick kilns, lead mines, zinc smelters
in the Ozark mountains and iron and
steel works near Pittsburgh. Con-
sumption has been increasing ever
since.
Not so much by legitimate use as
by wanton wastefulness have many
stores become depleted to such an
extent that the conservation COM
mission predicted the exhaustion OF
all known fields within twenty-five
years. Besides leaky pipes and ex-
travagant heating and lighting fix
lures, the firing of new wells to ad-
vertise factory sites, to reduce pres
sure or to expose oil quickly has
squandered enormous quantities. In
single field the loss from oil drill
ers was 7O,OOO,0OO cubic feet daily,
enough to light ten cities as large
as Washington, until the emission
from the wells finally became negli-
gible.
Only one State in 1909 made due
provision for marketing the gas a
prerequisite for tapping oil wells,
Several other States have since en-
acted similar conservation legisla-
tion.
Simple arrangements permit the
use of gas when and where it is most
needed. 1t can be pumped through
pipe lines or compressed into steel
cylinders for shipping. Gaping

GUS quantities are sometimes crowd.

VAST FOREIGN CREDITS

When the custom houses of the
nation closed on Saturday night
there had passed thirteen business
days of the new year. Preliminary
figures for the exports and imports
for those thirteen business days will
not be Forthcoming from the Treas
TRY and Commerce Departments un-
til tomorrow evening.
There is good reason for antici-
pating, however, that the provisional
estimates of the Government will
show on Tuesday evening a foreign
trade balance in favor of this coun-
try to the amount of considerably
more than $s0,O00,000 in those thir-
teen business days.
At the turn of the year this paper
declared that nobody need be sur
prised if the trade balance for the
last month of 1914 and the first
month of 1915 combined should reach
a quarter billion dollars. BY all
present signs we erred in our esti.
mate on the side Of conservatism,
January by itself, if it ends as it has
begun, may not be great distance
from $20O,O00,000.
The world, on trade account, is
going into debt to US on a scale

A New Flag Will BE Placed at Union
Station When the War Depart
ment Moves. Q

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
Our good friend Minter p. Key need
not excite himselt unduly over the fact
that the flag placed at the Union Sta
ton by William b. Gushing Camp. Sons
of Veterans, L. S. A.. is now slightly
frayed ut the end. He must remember
that the flag flying there is the heaviest
regulation flag made, and by continual
Tapping in the wind Is bound to be-
come torn In a short while.
HE Is perhaps unaware that by strict
rules Of the War Department a Gov
ernment flag Is not allowed to be cut
off and hemmed up as would be neces-
sary in this case and although the
women of our auxiliary have offered
their services to fix the flag, they are
prohibited from doing SO by officials Of
the War Department. They were not
even allowed when the flag was first
raised to place a cnayas strip across
the end to prevent it from tearing.
THE act of Congress instructinG the
Secretary Of War to furnish a flag to
William r. Cushing Camp through the
District Commissioners also authorized
the furnishing of new flags to take the
place of those that in. the Judgment OF
the Secretary become unfit to further
use. The camp has already applied tor
a new flag to take the place OF M
one which is now torn ana OF Whio0
