parent, this present month having
witnessed contracts and preparations
for work on a more extended scale
than has been the case since the
summer of 1919 In the iron and
steel Industries the problem Is
production which this years de-
mands call for. In the textiles the
rising costs of material and labor
that have been reflected in the prices
asked for the finished fabrics are
proving no bar to greatly increased
purchases in the primary markets.
The manufacturers of garments and
shoes for both mems and womens
wear, assured of heavy spring
trade, are making their preparations
for an even greater one in the fall.
The main problems seem to be
whether there will be workers
enough to provide what is wanted
and materials enough to go around.
It Is many a year since this was
the case and II Is, consequently,
puzzllng to those whose experiences
do not go back to similar occasions.
The Netc York Press contributes IN,
to the boom predictions:"
Wall Street bulls and public hold
ers of stocks whose accounts do not
show profits at the current range of
prices are counting on a spring adj
vance in the market, although the
current character of the speculation
extends no great encouragement
there is to be anything in the nature
of substantial operations for higher
prices. The more important financial
interests are doing nothing to at
tract a public movement, and It is
quite generally known in WE'LL
informed quarters the real leaders in
the financial district are not counting
on the development of a long period
of bull activity or countenancing sug-
gestions there should be a protracted
rise just because of the generally
favorable conditions in our indus
tries.

How Carbon Evaporates.

It is well known that the carbon film
 of an incandescent lamp gives off it's substance slowly and deposits it on the interior of the bulb, so that before the life" of the lamp is over, during it's six hundred to eight hundred hours of burning, the light is often dimmed by this brown smoky deposit. Berthe- tot, the French chemist, who has stud jed this phenomenon, says that it is 8 real vapOrizatiOn of the carbon with a reccndensation of the vapor on the glass bulb. The deposit is amorphous, like lampblack, and has no trace of graphite This is owing to the com- paratively low temperature of the film. In an arc light the higher heat changes the carbon to the graphite form. BerthelOt states that carbon has an appTeciable vapor tension at tenn perature not above reddish-white, which may be estimated at 1,2O0 de- grees centigrade to 1,500 degrees centi- grade. This tension is so feeble that several hundred hours are necessary to produce 2 few milligrams of con- densed carbon, even in the almost ab- solute vacuum of an electric bulb.

Dandruff Soon
 Ruins The Hair

Girls-if you want plenty of thick, beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all means get rid of dandruf, for it will starve your hair and ruin it if you don't
 It doesn't do much good to try to brush or wash it out. The only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when re- tiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips.
 By morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dis solve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it.
 You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop, and your hair will look and feel hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive and four ounces is all you will need, no matter how much dandruff you have. This simple remedy never fails.

NATIONAL CIVIC
 FEDERATION IN
 ANNUAL SESSION
Sociologists and Educators Discuss Responsibilities
 of Citizens.

Washington, Jan. l7-The National Civic federation met here today with many prominent sociologists and edu- cators i'll attendance for it's annual meeting, which will continue three days.
 Several of the topics of discussion are suggested by the war The set subjects are:
 "The legal and moral obligations resting upon foreign born citizens of the United States-those who have become naturalized citizens, and those who have taken steps to become citizens, as we'll as those engaged in labor or business here. but not in- tending to take out citizens papers.
 "'rhe present and prospective ef- fleets of the war upon immigration to the United States, as it relates CD to the wage-earner, CD to industry, and (3) to the body polite: and what, if any, new legislation is required to deal with this problem"
 Among the reports which will be made by special committees will be one giving an analysis of over one hundred profit-sharing plans now in operation in this country, as well as description of many abandoned ones and the causes of their failure. It will cover different methods en- ployed in industrial enterprises manufacturing plants, mercantile houses, public service corporations and financial institutions.
 A plan will be presented for the organization of commission to make a study of the question:: How far shall government in this country en- ter into private industry? It will provide for a review Of conditions in Europe. where the government is more and more taking over private industry. Has this resulted in such benefit that it will become the perma- nent policy, or is it tolerated as a military necessity?
 The industrial economies depart ment will make a preliminary report on it's survey of the social and indus trial changes that have taken place in the United States during the last generation. The object of this sur vey is to summarize the changes in our national life, and to gather to- gether the essential material from which to judge where there has been an advance in well-being, where has been a loss. and how far, in the ag- gregate, gains and losses balance or outweigh one another

The Light Within Us.

To the little child darkness has Q corporate existence; it is not that which we know it to be, the absence of light. When afraid he will ex- claim, "Let out the darkness" The man who is afraid reverses truth, and can only cast out the phantom by flooding the corners of his spirit with that light which is in reality within him, ready to drive out and make non. existent the darkness that he fears.

CAUGHT WITH TIE GOODS.

BECAUSE President Wilson found it necessary to
veto the army appropriation bill Congress in all prob
ability will be compelled to stay on the job for some
time after September !, which was the day set for ad-
%ioumment. For once the country will be glad Congress
is dragging out the session. The people know that the
Congressman would much rather be at their homes looking
after their political fences. but because they have been
caught trying to put across" a piece of parliamentary
trckery which would be impossible in practically all, if
not all. the other legislative bodies in the land, they must
stay in Washington. The punishment is Light. but it gives
great satisfaction.
The practice of putting riders on the regular supply
bills is an old one. Once in a while it serves a good end
in making possible the early enactment of a perfectly good
piece of Legislation. but a bare enumeration Of the bad.
not to say crooked, legislation that has been put through
in that way doubtless would fill a large book.
1t is an evil that is recognized fully. The constitution
Of the State of West Virginia and Of most of the other
states prohibits it absolutely by the inclusion Of the simple
provision that no act shall embrace more than one subject.
Congress could attain the same end by a mere change in
the rules Of the two houses.

.Ameriea First and america Efficient"
TRUTH ABOUT THE GUARD.

erHE attempt to make a matter Of party politics out Of
the deplorable disorganization in the National Guard
Of West Virginia is reprehensible in the extreme.
Whatth military forces Of the state now are is due largely
b pcGics-guard politics. And it is b beginning to be APP
parent thai; the organization will never be brought back
b . condition of efficiency until that is completely ironed
out. gthoroughgoing reorganization, the first step of
which IS q vigorous shaking down Of the officers. seems to
be the only thing that will accomplish the results desired
BY the citizens who are jealous Of the good name Of the
state.
The situation is simple enough. The states where the
guards are conducted as units Of the military forces Of the
nahcn!should be conducted have been undergoing reorgan-
izaton8 to-. the past two years to bring them in line with
the program Of the War department. Nothing was done
IN this state, not because Of party politics, but because Of
guard politics. which cuts across party lines and is all
the more dangerous to the welfare of the guard on that
account. When the Government issued its call for troops
recently West Virginia was in a state Of complete unpre-
paredness. Adjutant General Bond called out the Second
regiment although he must have known it was inferior in
every way to the First except in the fact that it had a ma
chine gun company while the First at that time had not
after he got the Second in camp Bond despaired of
ever whipping it into shape and he called out the First, too,
doubtless with some idea of amalgamating the two COM
rnands and saving the face of the state. Guard politics
steppedsins again and he failed completely. He probably
wouldshaye failed anyhow. for he lie not, and does not
now, seem to have a very firm grasp upon the situation.
Finally the First came home and since then efforts have
beenmade to force Bonds hand in some way. There may
pc some who are in that game for the benefit Of the guard,
but u y certain that the most active care not a whit for
the organization or the best interests of the state so long
q there is a prospect that the schemes which they hope
Will further their self interest have a prospect Of going
through. Unfortunately for themselves they have been
working along wrong lines. 1t seems to be clear to all
except guard officers and some newspapers that as Ima,ters
now stand the War department has not the slightest jjuris-
diedon. The place to begin the reorganization Of the
now. and the way is to get rid absolutely Of the officers
who have BY their self seeking activities demoralized the
wholese.yee.

PRACTICAL JOKING.

ONWARD ROSE. popular among his friends and
at the threshold of what might have proved a useful
- career. lies dead at the home Of his father in Man
nington. and the Recording Angel has marked up another
fatality under the head of practical joking. Roses death
was a horrible one; he probably welcomed the end as a
blessed relief from the agony he suffered. Yet there was
not the slightest malice about the action which led to this
unfortunate result The youth who applied the match
which set off the powder in Roses pocket thought it would
be funny to see Rose jump.
A large proportion of practical jokes are the result Of
that kind Of thoushtessness, although some Of them are 50
carefully planned that the perpetrators spend days in work
ing out the details and preparing to Spring" them. AT
bottom practically all Of them are cruel. The so called
fun lies in the effect upon the victim Of physical or mental
injury. Not infrequenty they result as the Joke on
Rose resulted in the death of the victim. or in his perma-
nent injury. Public opinion should discourage the prac-
tce. And it would do no harm if the coroner would make
a point of making a careful inquiry into fatalities that grow
out Of il.

WEALTHIEST PEOPLE.

MoNG the wonders that the war has worked is the
a change it has brought about in the financial situa-
: ton. A dispatch from Washington yesterday said
that The money in the United States. including the gold,
coined and in bullion, the silver dollars, the subsidiary
silver and the various kinds of currency, totals SAIL
$4,000. On a basis of a population Of a hundred mil
lion that is $44.7l for each individual.
There are probably more than 1000 0 900 Of us, but
if we let it go at that figure, and assuming that there has
been little or no increase in the per capita circulation Of
France since the war began. that makes US the richest peo-
pie in the world by a matter Of three dollars apiece. The
per capita circulation in the country famous for the depth
Of the wooden stockings in which monsieur and madame
deposit their savings was a triAe over SAL for each inhabi-
tant according to the latest available figures.
The richest people in the world, barring a few Indians
who do not count any more now than they did when the
country was first setdedl 1t is impossible to contemplate
that fact without a slight SILVER Of apprehension. Only the
future can tell what it portends.

President Wilson got rid of troublesome Representa-
tive Hay by appointing him to the vacancy on the court
OF claims created by the resignation of Judge Atkinson,
Of this state, but about now he probably is sorry that
this Is not China, where an obnoxious official frequently
takes the hint when he receives a silken cord. Just
when the Democrats thought they had got the prepar-
edness business off their hands in a way that would
enable them to go to the people with some chance of
getting by. Hay had to pull his little trick and gum
the whole game. Now 1t will have to be done all over,
and the ingrained objection of the southern Democrats
to adequate nationl defense will be paraded again for
the edifcation of the voters.
