THE NEED OF BUSINESS TRAIN.
INC

A life insurance actuary is quoted
rs saying: "Of every $1,000 which
men at death leave to their families
$500 Is gone in seven years."
This would not be surprising II
the statement applied only to thou
sand-dollar policies. In those cases
the urgent need of the families
might make early inroads on the
capital of life insurance payment.
But the proportion holds in large
policies. The only explanation is q
woeful lack Of knowledge about in
vesting money.
One commentator upon this situa-
ton asks: "How many graduates Of
. high school would know how to
invest $10,0007" To this question
might be added: "How many high
school graduates know anything
about keeping family budget Z"
"How many girl graduates know
anything about buying provisions
for a family, or the simple processes
Of operating a checking account in
. bank?" =.
Teaching of economics is going
through the same stage now that
geography and history passed
through in the last decade. It for
merly was the custom to begin
geography with a study Of the
world. and the continents, the names
Of foreign capitals, and the like.
Pupils were started out upon his
tory Of 1000 years or so ago, and
If they stayed in school long enough
learned something about their own
country and State and city.
Now pupils begin with the
geography and resources of their
own community. They are taught
something of the history of the
State or city where they live.
For economics, now, the pupil
usually must wait until he gets to
college. Then he learns much about
general principles of supply and de-
mand, marginal utility, trusts, the
development Of corporations, and ma
tional currency. The boy or girl
who would know something about
economics as it affects him or her
must get it in special course in a
private school, or pick up the knowl-
edge at great cost by experience.
A splendid opportunity awaits any
public school system which will in
troduce a course in the economics
that every boy or girl needs to know
before starting out to earn living
or conduct a home.

THE PROBLEM OF MAN POWER

In great Britain they always start
with a royal commission. Lately
they named one called the Man
Power Distribution Board, to find
out the relative needs Of army and
Industry for more soldiers and work.
ers, and devise means for supplying
them.
This board now opines that rigor-
GUS measures must be taken to get
more men into the army. It's ideal
is that the forces in the field must
be maintained, despite losses, at the
numbers heretofore fixed. 1t is sup
posed that there are about 100000
men in the British forces. though
the number is sometimes placed as
high as 5000, 900. With losses aver
aging lately around 1000 day, the
mathematical problem is easily
stated. Enough new soldiers must
be brought forward to take the
place Of those lost.
The losses of 1000 day are not
absolute losses. More than half the
men who figure in the reports Of
losses are the wounded who are
presently patched up, restored, and
returned to the line. Assuming that
half the 1000 daily losses are final,
there remain 1000 a day that must
be made up from new forces, or
about 100000 year.
It is fearful drain to impose on
country that has already raised
four or five times as many soldiers
as anybody dreamed, at the wars
beginning, would be asked of it. But
Britain has. resources from which to
draw. Canada is not drained close,
as is England; and the compulsory
service act has not been extended to
Ireland. The Man Power Board
wants compulsory service for Ire
land; but TO enforce 1t would raise

NEW YORK's MILK CALAMITY

Beginning October l., the farmers
tributary to New York put into eff
feet their resolve to ship no more
milk to that city until their price
should be moderately raised. Yes
terday the metropolis received less
milk than on any other day since
the strike began. The pressure is
beginning to tell.
City and State are investigating
the situation. The milk distributors
Of the city, insisting that there is no
combination among them, are talk
ing Of prosecuting the farmers I'M
der the State antitrust act for con-
spiracy in restraint Of trade. The
farmers retort that as they get
about cents per quart for produc-
ing the milk and hauling 1t to the
shipping station. while the distribu-
ter gets at least cents for taking
it to the consumer in the city, the
location Of the "trust" is not difficult
to determine.
Throughout the milk producing
sections the dairymen are using
every means to prevent shipments.
In some cases they have injured their
cause by resorting to violence; seiz-
ing and pouring by the roadside the
contents of cans that farmers were
attempting to ship. In some cases
they have paid for the milk thus de-
stroyed; but that doesn't especially
help the people in the city who want
It.
New York's milk crisis has been
coming for years. The farmers have
been slow to action, difficult to or
ganize; but they have been forced
to precipitate crisis, and they de-
clare that II out Of this demonstra-
ton they shall not get the benefit
of living price, then they will have
to 20 out of the business.
Washington is fortunate in that
thus far the producers have per
sisted in more moderate measures.
They don't want to undertake starv-
ing the town into submission. They
do want a price high enough to save
them from the necessity of COM
polling such a crisis as has been
precipitated in New York. They
have presented a constructive pro-
posal that ought to insure for all
time against such a possibility in
this city: the establishment Of q
municipal receiving, handling. and
distributing plant, to eliminate the
wastes and unity the business SC
that both the producer and the con-
sumner may have better treatment
Certainly, this moderate and con-
structive program ought to appeal
to people who have been reading Of
the calamitous possibilities involved
in letting matters drift.

THE WAR AND THE ADVANCE
OF PRICES

There had been an almost steady,
though by no means uniform, tend
ency toward advance in almost all
prices Of the necessaries of life, for
many years before the present war
began. In this country it set in
with the recovery from the depres--
sion caused by the tariff Legislation
under the Cleveland Administra-
ton. The upward tendency has been
normal and logical. It has been
an Incident to the increasing produc-
ton and consuming capacity Of the
world, to the great increase in the
stock Of money metal, and to the
general readjustment of conditions
to new industrial and social aspects.
Doubtless if there had been no
war in the last two years, prices
would now show an appreciable ad-
vance. But the war has accelerated
the upward movement. It has in
creased consumption to an unprece-
dented degree, and has also reduced
production in many lines that might
be classified as useful, while increas-
ing it in lines that must be regarded
as wasteful. The man who spends
his efforts making a 12-inch shell
can't be raising food supplies at the
same time. The shell takes the place
of the wheat he might have raised.
When the shell explodes and blows a
railroad station into smithereens, it
does precisely the work for which it
is intended; a work, however, that
is distinctly costly, and that tends
to make surviving railroad stations
worth more.
So prices go up everywhere. The
past crop season has been one Of re-
markedly widespread misfortune.
Argentina is now coming along with
reports of drought, cutting down a
crop of wheat and corn that the
world sadly needed. Canada was
bringing in the bullish news q little
while back; before that the United
States was compelled to report what
looked painfully like a halfway
failure of crops in general. Aus
tralia has an uncomfortable story of
shortages. Europe is unable to do
so we'll as in the earlier period of
the war, though it is doing marvels
in production not only of foodstuffs
but Of other necessaries of life.
It used to be said that half the
world was always living within
seventy-two hours Of the starvation
pinch. This war, plus this years
exceptionally general crop shortage,
has shortened that period. The
world is nearer the beginnings of
starvation's pangs than it has been
in a long time. Before another crop
is garnered, the world will contain
more underfed, more positively
hungry, people, than it has num-
bered for a very extended period.
The war is making itself felt all
over the world; and every month of
its continuance the pressure will be
more severe. If the reaction after
its close is as sharp as the stress of
its remaining period is certain to
be, we have ahead of us a long epoch
of most uncomfortable econom c
conditions. Everything now points
the conclusion that this is precisely
what must be expected and prepared
for

CH|CAGO HAVING A HARD TINE
Arranging Accommodations For
the Delegates To Three Ma
tiOnal Conventions.
WOMEN WILL FARE THE WORST

Chicago, May 12.-Managers Of
the Republican National Convention
to be held here the week of June Z,
have serious situation confronting
them in regard to the sale of tick
cts.
The seats have been placed on sale
at $50 each and the demand has far
exceeded the available supply and it
has been suggested that it will be
necessary to raise the price to 500
or possibly higher in order to stop
the rush for reservations.
The situation will be considered
by Frederick w. Upham, chairman
OF the Chicago committee for the
convention. The committee has
been allotted 2,2OO tickets, which, at
$50 ticket, would be more than
enough to meet the 100000 guar
antee made to secure the convention
for Chicago.
Seats for the Progressive party
convention have been placed on sale
at pricess ranging from $40 to $25.
Owing to the Republican, Pro-
gressive and Woman's party conven-
lions, with their thousands of dele
gates and visitors, Chicago's housing
facilities will be severely taxed
Most of the delegates to the first two
named conventions have been pro-
vided for by the local committees,
but the women delegates, their WIS.,
itors and those who will take part
in the suffrage parade and demon
stration are finding it difficult to OBJ.
tain accommodations.
Mrs. George Bass, chairman of the
hospitality committee for the suf-
frage parade, said that plans had
practically been completed for the
housing of all the women who may
wish to come, but various kinds OF
sleeping places at widely scattered
locations will be used.
Mrs. Bass is now negotiating fol
track space where the special trains
from variou points may stand, SC

been reserved.
