signed, according to information OBJ

eral reorganization of the board to
make II fit in more closely with the
war-making machinery Of the govern
ment
The President had a conference at
the White House yesterday with both
Mr.. Baruch and Secretary OF War
Baker. at which the matter Is said to

Mr.. Baruch is at present a member
OF the board and has charge of all
questions connected with the puI-
chase Of raw materials for the United

Mr.. Willard resigned several weeks
ago on the ground that his services
could be used to better advantage by
his returning to the task OF operating
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. OF

Mr.. Baruch. while a member Of the

Improye Kansas Civ Yards.

Completion of the new vat for dip
ping stock hogs intended for inter-
state shipment greatly enlarges the
facilities Tor handling this class of
animals at the Kansas City stock
yards. The vat in the north yards is
not conveniently located for general
shipments on all railroads, but the
new vat removes this difficulty. The
demand for stock hogs last fall from
the corn belt territory adjacent to the
Kansas City market was unusually
great. Dealers are preparing for a
big demand next spring. and this new
equipment will facilitate handling the
increased stock hog business at Kan
sas City.

MARRIAGE AND HIGH PRICES

The high prices now prevailing
must discourage many young people
from immediate marriage. Yet mar
riage is our basic institution, it must
be made practical, and there are many
losses when it has to be deferred.
One theory Of the outcome is tina.
10 great many women will continue
their money earning occupations af-
tier marriage. A lot Of them are do
ling it now. But the usual feeling in
the business world is that the young
err married women are subject to such
interruptions that they cannot fill reg
ular positions where continuous work
| is required.
AS a little family Of children comes
along, the mother is needed at home
for their proper training. There il
& great social loss if she must absent
herself all day to help support the
family. No hired help can supply the
place of mothers love or devotion
The practical tendency Of modern
conditions does tend, however, tt
limit the number of children RAISED
and it will lead more and more mar
ried women to continue business en-
Igagements.
1t is still possible for young peopl
tc marry early il they will adjus
themselves to the present situation
This calls for living in small quar-
tiers, for elimination of labor cost
,and service. The ample spaced oil
Ihomes our fathers used to keep ar
not popular with many young peopl
row. A house with e-third the foo
lspace may rent for just as much a
one of lavish sized old dwellings.
Young people are foolish if the
allow their marriage to be postpone
by artificial standards of living. TIL
joys of married life should comper
safe for much hard work and loy
| should make up for living in unfasl
= ionable neighborhoods. - Gainesvil

United States Is About To
Aquire A National Anthem

Doodle, although sung through all
the nations wars, is thought too
light, and in the South, at least, is
unfortunately believed to carry a
note of sectionalism.
The majestic Battle Hymn of the
Republic" musicians claims, falls
short of the standard, while "The
Red, White and Blue" Rally Round
the Flag" and others also are said
to be unsuitable. Dixie" although
carrying a powerful emotional appeal
is acknowledged to be peculiarly the
song of the South.
The music of the "Star Spangled
Banner" has been adversely criti-
cized because its wide range makes
its singing difficult for the average
crowd. Yet, it's appeal has increased
through century to the point where
lit would he difficult to displace it in
the affections of the American peo
pie. The words, written under the
stress of strong patriotic emotion
express sentiments that are the bull
wark of the nations pride.
Key, just before he wrote "Tht
Star Spangled Banner" had been ap
pointed an emmissary from the tow
of Marlborough in Maryland to thu

lease of a captured Marlborough ply

but Key was detained few day

of the British vessel, he watched sho
and shell rain on the ramparts o
Fort McHenry through the day an
night, and in the poem he eXpresse
his citation when he saw the flag sti
waving at dawn.
An effective musical vehicle for tn

Washington, April 24.-After near
" a century and half Of delay the
United States seems about to acquire
a national anthem.
The Star Spangled Banner" would
be adopted as the officially recog-
nized hymn of the republic under a
resolution by Representative McFad-
den of Pennsylvania, now pending in
the House Little, if any, opposition
is expected.
Army and navy regulations long
have designated the "Star Spangled
Banner" as the official anthem and
men shall stand at attention while it
is being played or sung, but the coun-
try at large has been left to its own
tastes in the matter of selecting an
appropriate hymn for patriotic occa.
sions. Thus "The Star Spangled
Banner has been widely accepted by
the American public as the represen-
tative hymn of the nation and patri-
otto societies for many years have
been agitating for it's officials adop-
ton.
Every land has a national anthem
identified inseparably with its life.
