The Business Outlook

Henry Clews, New York banker, in his weekly
review Of the business outlook, has the following
to say:
The cautionary spirit developed in business
about month ago is still prevalent, as is proved
in bank clearings, which are running arout 800
to 400 ahead Of last year; smaller rate than
prevailed in the first two months of the current
year. Nevertheless, the volume of business is
still very large, making full allowance for inflated
commodity and security values as we'll as foreign
and domestic loans. During the first three
months of the current year, total clearngs in the
United States close upon $59, GOO, 900 900,
and actually about 5000 ahead of last year.
Railroad earnings continue to make excellent
exhibits, 80 roads in the third week of March re-
porting an increase of 23oo, gross, the gain being
more due to the growth of traffic than to in
crease Of rates. Attention is now being given to
the crop outlook, which thus far is unsatisfactory
because Of late season and the injury to winter
wheat. 1t does not follow, however, that late
season is a poor one, since nature has ready
habit Of making compensations, and backward
spring is easily offset by a few warm days later
on. The presidential campaign is factor that
must be taken into consideration. Thus far it
has been completely oyershadowed by the vastly
more important crisis with Germany. The time,
however, is approaching for the national conven-
tons and political agitation of more or less in
tensity must be anticipated.

What the Militia Costs the Country

That dependence upon the militia for protec-
ton is like seeking support on a hollow reed is
demonstrated concusively in an article in
Centurys magazine by George Creel who sum-
marizes the problem thus:
'"That the volunteer system of military train
ing has had rather dscouragiHg results few will
deny. Although there are more than twenty
million men available for enlistment, the total
strength of our organized militia today is 129,398
Last year. in spite of the lessons of the European
war, the drill attendance in many states averaged
as low as 1870. In the interstate competitions
arranged by the war department only fourteen
states took part; only 1,400 enlisted men took
advantage of camps and instruction; only one
state, Washington, was equipped as prescribed
by the war department, and target practice was
satisfactory in eight states only. Yet vast
sum, totalling more than $50, 100000 in twelve
years. is being spent on this militia by the federal
government alone, independently of state appro-
priations."
The United States does not need the prepared.
ness of the National Guard, but it demands the
preparedness that every weapon-bearing citizen
of the nation can give it. Preparedness without
the patriotic support of every citizen and the
cooperation of every citizen is nothing We neee
bigger army and navy, more coast defenses, ano
above ALL the willing service of every patriot.

Training 100000 Citizens

Since October /, 1916, the Bureau of Natural
ization has sent the names of more than 10000
candidates for citizenship to the public school
authorities of the country. The motive of the
department has been an effort to induce alien
citizens to enter the public night schools receive
training in branches that will make them good
American citizens and become indoctrinated with
true American principles. This cooperation is
one of the most important steps yet undertaken
to break down racial connections with Europe and
make these aliens bona fide American citizens,
inbued with American spirit and dedicated to
American principles of American government.
OF the 100000 foreign-born residents in the
United States, only 100000 are citizens.

Watch Your Signs.

The gale which swept over Richmond yester-
day was not severe one, yet it was strong
enough to tear two signs from their mornings
and precipitate them on the sidewalk. One man
was injured and another escaped by narrow
margin
The city ordinance permits the hanging of
signs There is no valid objection to this form
of calling attention to the ownership of place
of business. Long exposure to the weather and
the constant strain exerted by the wind soon
wear out and loosen supports and guy wires.
Merchants ought to examine their signs to see
that the anchorages are good and that supports
are substantial. Serious injury and possible
deaths can be avoided only by following out the
SAFETY FIRST slogan.

Holy Week Sentiments.

Church members are eogitating the suffering

introspection. In some denominations, members
are denying themselves Injuries and few COM

Even to those persons who are not members
of church or do not believe in the Christian
religion, season of introspection will be of some
advantage and worth. 1t benefits man to retire

Heads or Feet !?

The Germans have proverb which literally
translated says, what you havnt in your head,
you have in your feet" Paraphrased, the proverb
carries the important truth that man used
his brains more his feet would not have to work
as hard and long as they do.
Efficiency after all is nothing more than head
work applied to the task before you. II you
plan your work Systematically and carry It out
systematically you become an efficient worker.
Nine-tenths of the blunders and mistakes of
the world are due to q lack of application of
brains to the problems that are to be solved.
When thought is put to proposition, it is solved
and worked out with the least amount of friction
and lost motion.
Thousands of useless steps and movements
are made in Richmond every day because feet
and arms are made to do work nature assigned

let your brain exercise itself more.
