Makea saIea Record.

OF the 5000 electric irons put out
on trial by an electric company recent
ly at Youngstown, o., only three came
back. The men in the sales depart
ment believe the company's policy Of
requiring customers to return irons
themselves is responsible for this en-
yiable record. The irons are put out
on Is days free trial, and If the Gus
toners ask for terms the payment is
spread over two or three months.
While it is thought that many irons
would be lost through this method, the
records show that the money for only
four irons out of the 5000 could not
be collected. The people who had ac-
cepted these four irons on trial moved
out of town before the first payment
was due.

Belief Versus Understanding.
The student OF Christian Science
learns to know and rely upon spiritual
law, the law Of good. by repeated
tests he proves this law and makes it
applicable TO all the affairs of his daily
life. He discovers that back OF spir.
itual law is the omnipotence of God
which renders this law irresistible In
operation. enc OF his first discover
les is to distinguish between the oper-
alton OF spiritual law and the false
action Of human beliefs. Following
the leadings OF spiritual law, he con
tinually rises in conscious knowledge
Of God and His ways, and constantly
adds to his enduring riches OF glad
ness, peace, meekness, and love. HUI
man beliefs have no enduring basis.
They are merely the merchandise Of

Marriage and the High Cost of
Living.

Vital statistics are usually regard
ed as following quite nearly certain
liked ratios. OF recent years, though.
there has been the suggestions fru1i
many quarters that high prices were
affecting the marriage rate One OF
the most notable instances comes
from San Francisco, where the num-
Der of knots tied in 1916 was but
$50, as against 6,S79 for 1915.
The authorities attribute the falling
off to high living costs.
1t suggests that the love in a cot
tage motive is growing less power
full. Certainly cur forefariers con-
sidered but little any such matter.
They did not have to meet high pri-
ces, but they confronted conditions
far more burdeIsOme. One never
hears that the man who settled the
Far West and the plain states ever
hesitated about marriage.
On the eve of their adventurous
departure into pioneer life, they
took unto themselves wives. Ne
matter how toilsome and diffieult

families. Their children labored to
subdue the forest and plant the soil.
and great prosperous states are the

age.
II our ancestors found the prices

they went without, or they raised
supplies in their own back yards. L.
never occurred to them to deny them-
selves marriage or postpone it.
The young people of today feel
keenly the social demands of their
times. 1t is\Not merely question
of earning a}iving. They want
comfortable hoSses with modern
plumbing and artistic furniture.
They desire to belong to the clubs
and TO own automobiles and travel

THE INVESTIGATING HABIT.
The Very Word Has Come to Seem
Almost Ridiculous to the
Public.

This is an era of investigations
From Congress down to the state
legislatures, they're all doing it
Commissions and committees are
hiring stenographers, sammoning
witnesses, spending money on rail
road fares, smoking choice cigars,
and seeing the country. Just now
the cost of living subject is the ia
vorite field, but lot Of others fur
nish employment to out of work pol
iticians. The very word inrestiga-
tion has come to seem almost ridi-
culous to the public.
Ordering an investigation has
been a favorite idea with the politi-
clans. When they don't know what
to do, or even are determined to do
nothing, providing an investigation
committee serves a useful purpose
1t keeps petitioners quiet thinking
that something is being done. U.s.
ually by the time the committee re-
ports, the eXigency has passed, and
the findings can be safely and quiet,
ly pigeonholed.
Yet investigation is an essential
idea in all business. In commercial
life no corporation undertakes a new
problem without exhaustive study
by its experts. The most careful
soundings and most painstaking ex.
periments are made.
Evidently the trouble is not Sc
much with the essential idea of leg
islative investigation, as the way II
is SO often carried on, and the fact
that so frequently it is futile.
Many of these investigation com.
mittee reports really are very good
but their findings are ignored. II
the more pressing demand for action
has blown over, the Legislators loss
interest and turn their attention tc
other things. Congress or any leg
islative body that spends peoples
money for study of any pending
problem should feel it self respon,
sible to have some positive result:
How from the report An investiga.
ton that merely stores away facts in
a public document without the crea,
tion of any new methods or systems
is a waste of public money. 1t dis
plays the inability of the politicians
class TO give business administra
ton.

The plan is simple. The father,

farm he would rather do, and lets
him do it. In other words, a divi-

each boy eager to stay on the farm,
