u. S. ARMOR PLANT
philadelphia Public Ledger.

1t is obvious that the Government
will not be able to compete on equal
terms with the Midvale, Bethlehem
and Carnegie companies in the MAX
ing of armor; and the question which
ought to receive the serious consider
alton of Congress is whether the pos
sible control of prices, to be obtained
by the expenditure of $11.000,000 or
more for a Government plant, would
not be secured at too great a price. 1t
would be a national calamity if the
existing private plants were driven
out of business; and while the fear of
such an eventuality as the result of
the entrance of the Government into
the armor-making field may be an
exaggerated one, the possibility is too
serious to be overlooked by Congress.
1t is a pity that the question should
have been approached, as it has been,
in a partisan spirit; it ought to be
lifted to a higher level, for it is part
of the national program of prepared
ness. Any course now which threat
ems to delay naval shipbuilding or un-
duly increase the cost of preparedness
would be suicidal. The evils resulting
from price combinations by armor
plate are not to be minimized; but
can they not be corrected by some
method short of Gripping established
industry or of handicapping the Gov
ernment in preparing for national
defense?

THE VALENTINE AGE

TF that small boy of yours begs
dime and shamefacedly declines to
reveal the purpose of the gentle
'touch," don't darkly imagine that it
must be a detective story or cigarets;
the chances are he has his eye on n
valentine. Most likely it is large, of
florid complexion and has hearts,
cupids and wedding rings scattered
promiscuously over the front, with a
stanza or two of very fervid and very
mushy verse tucked away on the in
side. 1t may not appeal to you, on the
shady side OF forty, but 10 that boy
of yours it is just now the most de-
sirable thing in town. Not that it has
any intrinsic value for him; oh, no;
for itself alone it is far less desirable
than pack of gum or a trip to the
movies. But, in the spring the young
mans fancy lightly turns to thoughts
of love-" and if you go back a little
you will remember that this male
fancy begins to turn that way pretty
early in life.
Do you remember that two-cent
reader and, a little later, how you
risked padding for being out late
in order to push gay heart-throb
costing five cents beneath the front
door of Maggie Jones. under cover of
darkness? You always did these things
in secret. but how you did hope that
Mary, or Maggie, as the case may have
been, would in some occult way divine
the identity of the sender.
Well. that's the state of mind your
boy is in to-day, chances are, so give
him the nickel. think of the fun you
got out of life at his age, of the
priceless memories your boyhood
nickels bought at valentine time, give
him the dime he craves--and don't ask
fool questions.

SENATOR pENRosE.s SANITY

TT is by such clarity of vision and
sanity of view as characterized
his speech on the manufacture of
armor plate by the government that
Senator Penrose maintains his posi-
tion of authority and influence in
Washington. Neither the Senator
nor anybody else conversant with the
facts minimizes for an instant the
evils of possible price agreements
among armor plate makers, but any
thinking man must see the reason
ableness of Senator Penrose's conten-
tion that the building of an armor
plant by the government at this time
is not the way to correct that con-
dition. Just when we are about to
enter upon the most extensive ship
building program in our history is no
time to cripple the privately-owned
industry upon which we must depend
if we are to get the proposed new
ships under way without a necessary
delay of several years while the gov
ernment is getting ready to make its
own plate.

FATHER PENN AND HIS FUNDS

TT, as has been stated at the Capitol
in the last fortnight, the actual
working cash of the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania is not much over
three-quarters of a million dollars,
there is nothing of greater Importance
for the responsible heads of the State
government to do than study the con-
dition and do their best to prevent it's
recurrence. The time to prepare q
financial program for the next Legis-
lature is right now.
1t is not pleasant to realize that our
State, which has in it's sinking fund a
dollar for every dollar of debt out
standing and which would pay off all
old bonds it could get hold of tonight,
is in such position that it can hardly
pay the money due to the school dis
tricts of the State without scraping the
bottom of the strong box. This does
not mean that there is not enough

shoulder to shoulder with Speaker
Clark, the titular head of the Demo-
cracy in the national legislative body,
In the first skirmish in behalf of ma
tional preparedness, is a spectacle at
once encouraging and the very en-
bodiment of patriotism. 1t has sent
a thrill throughout the country and
In a moment has cleared the atmos-
phere of all doubt as to the real
attitude of the people of the United
States in matters affecting this coun-
try in its relation TO other nations.
If anybody had any doubt of the
patriotism of the American people,
they will doubt no longer. Mr.. Mann
declared his belief in President Will
sons sincerity on the subject of pre-
paredness and called upon his coun-
trymen to aid the President in pre-
pairing "the country for trouble, which
we all hope will not come, but which
Ltill may come in spite of us.
What a situation for any Presi-
dent when the leader of his own party

In an address this week Mayor Smith
declared that the spirit of prepared
ness was prevalent among the men and
women of Philadelphia, and expressed
admiration for the several organizations
which are preparing for eventualities
should their services be required by
their country. 1t might be well for
Mayor Smith TO suggest that the Re-
publican factlOnists could find a better
outlet for their superabundant COM
bativeness in the Biddle instruction
camp rather than in battering each
others heads.

money in the Treasury, but it means
that, adhering to lines laid down in the
act of 1909 and to the business methods
of the Treasury. the money to pay GER
tain things is pretty we'll requisitioned
or else tied up.
The present state of affairs, which
is more dangerous to state pride than
to credit, is due to the size of appro-
priations approved last year, especially
for charitable institutions; to the diver
sion of money which used to form big
items of State revenue and to the lock-
ing up of cash in special funds.
The new State revenue raisers are
not going to raise a million dollars.
and, with the federal government
hunting new subjects of tax. any addi-
tional State taxation is going to be a
rather difficult problem.
The time to start on a plan which
will allow the State to maintain it's
departments, go ahead with construct
i've work, carry on its humanitarian
projects and at the same time give aid
where 1t should be given is right now.

THE STATE FROM DAY TO DAY |

The Kingston school board has Just
decided a most momentous question,
to wit: That a schoolboy is permitted
to eat garlic regularly if he so de-
sires, in spite of the effect it may, and
is said to have upon the olfactory or
gans of his schoolmates. Perhaps
the problem is one for the S. p. c. C.

eide rather than the school board.
The king can do no wrong! The
Mayor of Altoona can stub not his
toe without the taxpayers suffering.
His honor was taking walk and
struck his foot against corporation
service box protruding an inch or so
above the sidewalk. An investigation
proved that there were hundreds of
them, and the reduction will cost the
taxpayers some hundreds of dollars.
James Shields has eaten 157 oysters
in 40 minutes and claims the cham
pionship. He lives in Altoona, and
if he can do that and still live, he's
welcome to the championship and
then some. Heinzs 81 varieties have

had finished his six pounds of BIZ
valves he ate two sandwiches and
drank a pint of milk to wash the

HOW TO LIVE LONGER

AIR-Rule 2-The skin should be
kept clean and warm and should have
air. To keep the body healthy, clothes
should not be tight.
AS most of us are In heated houses
lin winter a large part of the time, we
should wear lightweight clothes while
in the house. Upon going out-of- doors
put on heavy outer clothes.
Do not wear your hat tight. 1t cuts
off the blood from the skin of the
head and makes you bald. A soft hat
is the best.
Do not wear tight shoes or high
heels
