SAVE THE POTS AND PANS

From the Philadelphia North American.
 Save your pots and pans is, the new est conservation cry for the housewife
 Thirty manufacturers of kitchen uten- sls have issued bulletin to house. wives urging them to take better care of enameled, galvanized and tinware.
 Demand for steel has caused short age of materials used in these wares, the bulletin says, and with the opening of the army camps, enameled ware will be in demand for the mess tents and kitchens.
 To conserve the present supply of pots and pans, the housewife is advised as follows:
 Don't heat foods in pan without water.
 Don't use coarse securing powders.
 Don't scrape your pots and pans with sharp knives. Soak them instead.
 Soap and water are the most eco- nomical and easiest cleansers; also they are far less damaging to the hands

Habit of Saving
 Easy to Cultivate

MI EN with large incomes know NV0 nothing of the necessity which the poor have for stinting. They live well and do not spend anything like the amount they could spend and not miss it. But when one finds thrift among people of moderate means it is where a majority spends less than they earn.
 Even in these times of excessively high prices men working for con- paratively small wages may save something. Those who earn "big pay'' have simply failed to learn the lesson of thrift.
 A young man, unmarried, receiving wages at the rate of $100 month, may be so thriftless as to be always "strapped;" but there is no reason why he could not dress we'll and board we'll and still save $500 year. If he spent his money only for bare neces- sities he might pull through on $7oo

Government Gets Ready
 to Round Up Agitators

~ OUNTRY-WIDE raids by federal NJ officials produced indisputable proof that the Industrial Workers of the World have received money from foreign sources. There was well grounded suspicion all along that the unprecedented series of disturbances fomented in various parts of the country by the I. W. W. and other agencies was part of German cam paign, backed by German money, to embarrass the government in it's prosecution of the war.
 Attorney General Gregory, whose department directed the raids on I. w. w, socialist and other radical head quarters, in which tons of confiden- tial papers were seized, did not act until the information he had justified this drastic move against the enemies of the government who are mas querading as American citizens and under the plea of freedom of speech and freedom of the press have spread sedition.
 In the south German activities have been confined largely to attempts to stir up the negro population by pre- posterous reports which none but the most ignorant negroes believed. The campaign to start negro rebellion has been lamentable failure, but the l. w. ". and the socialists, to men, tion two of the best known pro-Ger- man organizations, have created great unrest in laboring circles and it has been shown by the documents now in the governments hands that these outbreaks were due, not to a desire to improve the conditions of labor, but were reasonable acts directed against the government.
 The fact that few arrests were made is significant. The men who are responsible for the antiwar propa- ganda are under close surveillance The government can lay its hands on them whenever it wants to and if they are arrested they will not be charged with nominal offense. These gentry may yet find the death penalty star ing them in the face.

Memories Recalled

T read with a great deal of interest the story by Ned Brace in recent edition of The Age Herald of the early days of The Age Herald, for It re- called many memories to me that l had almost forgotten" said Robert 5. Mingea, prominent Bessemer merchant.

or $750 a year. But youth starting out to make a living should have as-
 pirations for a spiritual life, and that
 means he must read books of intel
 lectual value, must have diversion in
 mnocent amusements and must all low something for esthetics. Nine hundred or a thousand dollars is gone before he realizes that it costs a bachelor something to live.
 But salaries and wages are much larger, as rule, than they were ten years ago, and the earning capacity of many a man of twenty-five years is $3000 and upwards -$5000 to $6000 if he is an operating man or one who understands the art of salesmanship.
 The $5000 man who had been able to keep his expenses down to $500 WAllS uHlndIIleuJ udS HOW ldHlAly, perhaps. In that event he needs $300O to live cn. While that would give him a good margin for the saw ings bank, he can only keep up his habit of thrift if he and his better half deny themselves of many lux uries. Despite the cost of living a large percentage of people of small incomes save. The number would be greater if everybody had learned not to waste. Quiet campaigns of educa- tion along the lines of thrift are in progress all the' while. They should be continued indefinitely.

WHY THEY ARE UNSATISFACTORY

From the Seven Arts.
 Minor novelists and minor poets and minor publicists are still coming back from driving ambulances in France to write books that nag us into an apprecia- tion of the real meaning" No one can object to the generous emotions of serv- ice in a great cause or to the horror and pity at colossal devastation and agonys But too many of these prophets are men who have lived rather briskly among the cruelties and thinnesses of American civ ilization and have shown no obvious hor- TOT and pity at the explorations and the arid quality of the life lived here around us. Their moral sense had been deeply stirred by what they say in France and
 Belgium. but it was moral sense rela- lively unpracticed by deep concern and reflection over the inadequacies of Amer ican democracy. Few of them had used their vision to create literature impelling us toward more radiant American fu- ture. And that Is why, in spite of their vivid stirrings. they seem so unconvinc- ing. Their idealism is too new and bright to affect us, for it comes from men who never cared very particularly about creative Americani ideas

are somewhat disappointing for it was hoped that the gold production in that year would be approximately of the
 money value of $1O0,0o0000. Silver In 1916 was mined so successfully that the money value of it was almost exactly S49, 000000.
 The money value of silver mined this year should be considerably in excess Of that figure
 Governor Whitman has at one time since he entered the executive office at ship as was the. case when he compelled shin as was the case when he compelled a reluctant legislature to accept and enact into law a measure whereby there will be excellent control of food in New York state. The governor knew that there were powerful influences inspired by those who make a business of specu-
 lating in and hoarding food who were anxious to defeat this measure. These speculators carried on a campaign eau tiously, almost secretly with intent to
 persuade the farmers of New York that
 the measure, if adopted, would be of dis
 advantage to the farmers and entirely
 in favor of the consumers. Instead of
 that the governor Is confident that the
 farmers of New York will be benefited
 as well as the consumers for the inter-
 ests of the consumers and the people of
 New York are. the governor says, insep-
 arably bound up in the interests of the
 farmers.

 should be eliminated. He believes on
 the other hand that the distributor and the middlemen who are honest and not
 seeking undue profits are vital factors
 in the economic system. The passage of this bill will undoub tedly go far to-
 ward removing what was regarded as a
 serious food peril in New York city and in the large cities of the state next
 winter

But he isn't. l What has become of the old-fashioned souse who used to weep all over the bar when he sang, "A Boys Best Friend Is l Ills Mother?"
 A woman's idea of skeleton in a household is to have bedbugs and be un- able to get rid of them. | When a man marries widow the I honeymoon ends as soon as he learns l that her first husband didn't leave her any insurance money. | The man who figures that his vote l won't amount to anything and for that reason doesn't vote is paired with the man who imagines that if he doesn't vote there won't be any election. | It is a good thing for newly married l couple to remember that while love may 1 be blind the neighbors are not | What has become of the old-fashioned 1 15-year-o old boy who believed in the l stork?

THE HEAVEN IS WORKING

From the New York World.
 What most of the leading German newspapers say about President Wilson's reply to the vatican's peace proposals is important only as reflecting the mind and the purpose of the German govern ment What vorwarts says Is important as reflecting the sentiment of a great mass of the German people, and 1t is sig nificant that Vorwarts treats the Pres ident's demands not only sympathetically but approvingly.
 There is no mistalSing the meaning of such comment as this
 Shall 1t be said of us Germans that ne- gotiatons with the United States are im- possible because we as a nation of helots are incapable of asserting our own will? Do we deserve this after years of fight ing and suffering, after achievements and sacrifices without measure and number?
 Take the world map and regard one country after another. The real decision on policies everywhere rests in the hands of persons chosen by the people. There are monarchies and republics. In the latter the policies are determined by rep resentative assemblies and governments owing their existence to the expressed confidence of these assemblies.
 If it is thus everywhere else. why is it not possible for us? We have been waging war for more than three years, and now 8 great power tells us it must be like this for us if we wish to attain peace Perhaps this is only pretext, but in this case it is so cleverly chosen that it cannot be met by phrases but only by deeds"
 What vorwarts says today, millions of social defnocrats will be saying tomoraw, and there need be 70 doubt that the leaven is working.

Concert Orchestras
 and Picture Shows

ZINE of the strongest manifesto W tions in the interest of a high order of music in this country is found in the smaller class of cities. Time was when only the great cities could support symphony orchestras. Now cities much smaller than Bir- mingham have rot only concert bands, but orchestras that can render creditably the works of the master composers.
 There is every reason to hope that the Birmingham Philharmonic or chestra will some day be a really great orchestra. A musical authority IS. l.. Rothapfel- the Metroname, in discussing orchestras in the smaller cities, says:
 "My idea is to make the leading motion picture house the musical cen ter of each community. Practical ex- perience and observation have demon strated to my satisfaction that any motion picture house with seating capacity of 2000 can support an or chestra of twenty-five musicians. Most cities of 100000 or over have such theatres already, and where they haven't been built they are being planned. Presuming that the city possesses such theatre, let it's or chestra of twenty-five pieces be the nucleus for larger civic organization capable of giving symphony concerts at regular intervals throughout the season. By recruiting fifteen oi twenty extra musicians from among the local talent in the city an orches- tra could be built up that no com munity need be ashamed of, one that on the contrary, would be an extreme ly educational and uplifting influ- ence."
 l Birmingham should do as we'll as the scheme suggested. During the coming season local theatres movie" or otherwise should afford employment for twenty five or thirty first-class orchestra players.
 The Philharmonic orchestra, re. gently organized in Birmingham, can not become fine band unless all the music lovers encourage it and helr 1 it along in every way possible. l The talent is here. Will it give its whole-hearted support to the orchestrs movement?

ReautifuI Sight

If Satan were to offer to give Bir- mingham to someone, said Frank Loy "he certainly would take him to the top of Red mountain at night and show him the city. And after seeing it as it looks from the mountain the supposed customer would very likely trade for the city if possible. With her many lights of varied colors extend : ing over miles of space and the sky scrapers lighted up, with automobiles and street cars showing moving headlight all along the long, straight
 streets. the sight is beautiful one. It is treat to view Birmingham at
 night from the top of the mountain"
