government, seems to me a very wise one. To furnish them with data and comprehensive information in order that they may more easily accomplish the result that they are organized for is a proper and useful government function. These associations, when organized for the purpose of improv- ing conditions in their particular in- dustry, such as unifying cost account ing and bookkeeping methods, stand ardizing products and processes of manufacture, should meet with the approval of every man interested in the business progress of the country.
 standardization Helpful.
 'Too much emphasis cannot be placed on your suggestion that ma terals, methods and products in in- dustry should be standardized upon the basis of specifications drawn up. in friendly cooperation with engi- neering societies, industrial experts and trade associations. Further stand ardizatiOn in our industries will not only reduce the cost of production, but assure the producer better mater ials and more efficient membership, and to the consuming public the man. Hest Deneflt resulting rom not ntnN = ing to pay for a wide and increasing variety of products and materials. Jul dicious standardization also means a greater return on a given investment; Capital now tied up because of lnef- ficient methods will be released and can be used effectively elsewhere.
 "If we are to be an important factor in g. worlds markets we must be more thorough and efficient in production. The encouragement of trade associa- tions and standardization, and the in stalling of better cost accounting and bookkeeping methods in our business concerns will go a long way toward ac- complaining this end.
 Ut is my hope that, in addition to the other work which the federal trade commission is doing, it will as- certain the facts regarding conditions in our various industries. II It finds that an industry is not healthy, 1t should after carefully considering the facts, in cooperation with the parties interested, suggest a practical and helpful remedy. In this way many of our difficult business problems might be solved.

 Cost of Materials.
 The cost of materials used was s2SS,454,OOO in 1914, as agalnst $257,259,OOO in 1909, an increase of s31 ,195, 1000, or 12.1 per cent. The average cost of materials per estab- ljshment was approximately $7O,OOO in 1914, and s61,OO in 1909. In ad- dition to the component materials which enter into the products of the establishment for the census year there are included the cost of fuel, mill supplies, and rent of power and heat. The cost of materials, however, does not include unused materials and supplies bought either for specu- lation or for use during a subsequent period.
 The census inquiry does not include amounts paid for miscellaneous ex-

penses, such as rent of offices, royalties, insurance, ordinary repairs, advertising, travelling expenses, or al lowance for depreciation.
 Value of Products.
 The value of products was $545,- 249,0OO in 1914, and $490,2q2, ,000 in 1909, the increase being $54,977OO0, CT 11.2 per cent. The average per establishment in 1914 was approxi- mately $133,OO0, and in 1909 $115, 5000.
 The value of products represents their selling value or price at the plants as actually turned out by the factories during the census year and does not necessarily have any rela- ton to the amount of sales for that year. The values under this head also include amounts received for work done on materials furnished by others.

PRESIDENT URGES
 TRADE COOPERATION
Comments Federal Commissioner
 for His Helpful Suggestions

Washington, May 1S.-Co-operation between the federal trade commission and business firms and commercial or gan1zatlons with the object of stan- dardizing trade is recommended bv President Wilson in a letter to Edward N. Hurley vice chairman of the commission, made public at the White House. The President urged that the commission investigate in dustries and, if it finds any not "heal- thy,' suggests a practical and help ful remedy.'
 The President wrote to MT. Hurley to commend him for suggestions made in a recent speech at Boston in which MT. Hurley told of efforts made bv the commission to assist the small manu- facturer and merchant in bettering lis condition by helping' him improve his cost accounting and book making methods.
 Step in Right Direction.
 ''This is step in the right direc- tion and one of the main fundamentals of any successful business" said the president. "It is most important to the future success of a business man that he should know what his goods actually cost to manufacture and to sell. If he has these facts, they will enable him to present a modern bal ance sheet to his bank and as a result he will be better able to obtain credit with which to expand and develop his business.
 Your suggestion that trade associa- tlons, associations of retail and whole sale merchants, comm ercial clubs, boards of trade, manufacturers asso- citations, credit associations and other similar organizations should be en- couraged in every feasible way by the

which is exactly on the opposite side
If the earth and runs Though the Pa
:ific ocean, you had shouted down to
some sea captain under you, whose
ship had just crossed the anti-merid-
ian, travelling in the same direction,
and asked what day of the week it
was he would have replied: Monday;
we've just dropped day in going over
The line. 1t was Sunday noon few
minutes ago, but now it is Monday
noon"
The same thing would have &C.
CURED if you had arrived at the line
Sunday midnight instead of Sunday
noon. On crossing you would have
jumped to Monday midnight. There,
then, on the l80th degree of longitude
from Greenwich. is the birthplace Of
SSthe days. Remember it is place, not
time, OF beginning that we are dealing
with. The l80th meridian is the uni
versal date line, and it has been
adopted, rather than the meridian Of
Greenwich itself, simply because it
very conveniently runs through the
midst of great ocean from pole to
pole, and as far as possible from all in
habited lands.
The reason for the choice becomes
evident when you consider that it 10
midnight on the lS0th meridian when
it is noon at Greenwich, and it would
be very announcement and confusing
to change the date and the day OF
the week at noon, or any time during
the daylight hours. But changing
it at time when all the most impor-
tant inhabited regions of the world are
buried in night causes little incon-
venience.
If, instead Of going as fast as the
sun, you should take month, or a
year, or any other period, to make
the journey, the effect would be the
same; for on arriving at the date
line you would skip twenty-four
hours, and put your reckoning one
day forward.
But If you came round from the
east you would, on crossing the line,
have to go back a day. If it was
Sunday forenoon, or any other time
on Sunday, when you reached the
line, from the eastern side, it would
become Saturday (same hour the
moment you crossed it. A little re-
Election will show that a change OF
this kind is absolutely necessary,
since without it there could be no
regular succession OF the day OF the
week or the month. Travelling slow
err than the sun, the loss or gain Of a
day is gradual accumulation, but the
change of date is not apparent until
you cross the l80th meridian, and
then it is effected suddenly.
The date-line just described is the
theoretical, or ideal one, and it is
practically used by mariners. But
/ THE so-called international date-line"
does not exactly follow the l80th
meridian, because there are groups of
islands lying along that meridian,
some of which were settled by peo-
pie coming from the east and others
by people coming from the west, and
whose dates, consequently, are day
apart, when they happen to lie on OPP
posite sides of the line.

BY JANE M'LEAN.

She was remarkably beautiful.
There was something about her that
made people notice her, and, because
she regarded it sensibly, it did not
make her vain. Her name, too, was
unusual-it was Valentine. When
people saw her they invariably ex-
claimed:
What a beautiful grip And when
they heard her name they said: "And
her name just suits her"
Valentine had never known anything
but admiration. She took it as her
due, and if she did not receive it
she thought the people who were un-
willing to recognize such charm al
most old-fashioned. Valentine was
not girl of wealthy parents. Her
mother had not been able to give her
an extended education and she had
rebelled against going into an office.
Il couldn't stand working at desk

all day." she explained prettily to an
old friend of her mothers who had
been taken into consultation about
getting work for Valentine to do.
What would you like to do, my
dear?" the Older woman asked, watch
the color come and go under Valen-
tines golden skin. For her skin was
golden; it had just that warm, white
color, and her hair was just off the
red, and her eyes were long and al
most green. And she was tall and
very slim and sweet, like a flower on
stem. And the woman thought to
herself: Valentine is girl who
might do anything if her beauty does
not spoil her"
Finally it was decided that Valen-
tine try professional shopping 1t was
an outdoor job, pleasant and interest
ing, and reasonably remunerative.
One woman was employed by many
stores and given commission on the
things she sold. 1t all sounded very
fascinating and Valentine quite liked
the idea and entered the work with
her heart and soul wrapped up in it.
She was so beautiful that she at
tracted trade readily, but she gave
her opinion almost too freely at
times.
One day she was to shop for Gre
tonne with Mrs. Carey Sheldon.
Mrs. Sheldon was cantankerous, but
very rich, and rich people can afford
to be almost anything. Mrs. Sheldon
no doubt expected to meet differ
ent type OF woman, for when she met
Valentine she stood back and gazed
at the girl in establishment.
DO you mean to say that you do
professional shopping!
Certainly" Valentine responded,
looking at the wealthy Mrs. Sheldon
with equanimity.
DO you know anything about cre-
tonnel l have some chintz to buy
for my country home"
Il know a little about everything"
Valentine said, promptly.
Him." said Mrs. Sheldon, well;
I'll try you. | suppose you know that
you are beautiful, too beautiful for
position like thisf"
"Or course know it," the girl re-
sponded.
Whats thati"
Il said that l knew it, but I'm not
bit spoiled, really.I couldn't help
knowing it, because everybody tells
me about it.
Mrs. Sheldon's aristocratic face re-
Taxed into a smile. She had never
heard girl speak like this one did.
