Secretary Daniels Says Government
Had No Idea of Cutting Steel Price

no appreciate effect upon the market.
Mr.. Daniels says the Bethlehem
Steel company, which has been fill
ing the papers with advertisements
criticising the department" admitted
in one OF these publications that it
had failed to make satisfactory shells
on a contract awarded two years ago.
Until it is able to fill its contracts,
he adds, st does not become the
Bethlehem company to criticise the
Navy department for awarding con-
tracts to manufacturers who can make
shells that meet the tests. | regard
the attitude OF these companies in this
and in other matters as most unfor-
tunate and were there no relief
through competition either bv the
government or by other more patri-
otto firms, / would feel that they were
putting our entire program of pre-
paredness in peril. The department
wishes to give all of its orders to
American manufacturers whenever
they quote reasonable prices and fur
nish shells that meet navy require
ments. Nothing but the utter failure
OF the most patient negotiations and
appeals to the patriotism of the little
group OF steel manufacturers who
have practical monopoly of this
business have made it imperative for
the government to build a projectile
factory and give contract to for
eign bidder"

PRAYER BRIDGES
EARTH AND HEAVEN
Rev. Joseph Mcneil Says There
Is No God for Man Who
Does Not Pray.
APT TO FORGET PRAYER

Rev. Joseph Mcneil preached last
evening at the Third Presbyterian
church on Prayer" taking as his text
the words of the disciples to Christ,
Lord, teach US to pray" 4
"Prayer," he said, SIS the eommuni-
cation of man with God. 1t bridges
the space between the physical and
the spiritual, between earth and
heaven.
TN this day and age there are many
mortals who presume to question
whether there is God or not. So far
as the man who doesn't pray is con-
ccrned there is no God. But those
who pray know that God lives and
that He answers prayers.
"Of course, God doesn't give us all
we pray for. He gives us what it is
good for US to have. Do you give
your son all be asks for? No. You
know that it would not be good for
him if you did. II would spoil him

eiphers now and all l need is Il to
put in front OF thcm) but If ! received
the million dollars it would not be for
my own good, know.
Earnestness Important.
"Earnestness and continuance in
prayer are most important. The length
Of prayer has nothing to do with the
carncstness of them. The publican
who prayed in the simple, Lord be
merciful to me sinner, was more
justified than the Phafisee who prayed
long and fowery prayer.
I'VE are apt to forget our prayers.
Two men were shipwrecked. Neither
had prayed for years. But one OF
them determined to pray and he said,
oh, God, ] have not troubled you for
twenty years, but if you will hear us
now and save our lives won't trouble
you for twenty more years That
man had the wrong idea. 1t is no
trouble for the Almighty to answer
prayer.
THE poet said, What are men, bet
ter than sheep and goats, II, knowing
God. they raise not their hands in
supplication to HimY
Faith Is Necessary.
Faith is, Of course, the most impor.
tant element in prayer. We should
have the faith Of little child that |
heard Of. This boy was accustomed
to make supplications in his evening
prayer for members Of the family
friends, and, finally, for himself. One
evening, instead Of asking anything
for himself he just repeated the alpha
bet. Asked why he did that he said
I didn't know just what to ask for
myself. so / just put the letters in
and God will put them together into
words
you may not be able to pray in
public, but you can pray in private
and every Christian will pray daily

CATERING TO JAIL
IS HIS AMBITION
Or Perhaps Clarence Tostevin,
Restaurateur, is Merely
Testing New Law.
BIDS WOULD SAVE MONEY

The Jail feeding question is again
projected, this time by Clarence w,
Tostevin, restaurant owner at 2405H
N street, South Side, who has filed
an application with the commissioners
asking for the appointment as the
official caterer for prisoners.
Under the present law, passed by
the Legislature after Felix McShane,
former sheriff, went into office, the
sheriff is entitled to 81 cents day
for feeding each prisoner. Prior to
the McShane regime the county board
let the feeding to the best bidder,
Following the election Of Mike
Clark, republican, as sheriff, and the
reorganization of the present demo-
cratic county board, the word was
passed among the Wiseacres that an
effort would be made to have the
law changed so that the commission
ers could ask for bids. The filing OF
Tostevin's application and other buzz
zings are said to be preliminary
steps.
Big Saving Possible.
According to the dope, several
thousand dollars a year could be
saved under the system OF asking for
bids. McShane was allowed 81 cents
a day for each prisoner. 1t is be-
lieved that the board will expect the
successful bid to be under 20 cents
if the law is changed. .
1t has been estimated that in for
mer years the actual cost Of feeding
each prisoner was about M cents.
Even under the present H. c. of L.,
the wise ones say, the cost should
not exceed IA cents.
The number of prisoners in the
county jail varies from $50 to 800
the year round.
