Spending Money Is a
Science
By EIiz a b eth Jordan

COME time ago, in response to
number OF. letters, l
~ wrote an article for these
columns on young men and money
spending-the latter in connection
with the girls the young men were
entertaining.
1t is a subject which evidently
deeply interests all young men and
all young girls. Since the article
was published l have heard from
most OF themi
All the letters are interesting.
But to me the most interesting
things about them are these facts:
Most of the girls think alike.
Most Of the young men think
alike.
Opposite Letters.
The opinions of the girls and Of
the young men radically differ.
To illustrate this l quote two
letters-one from a girl, the other
from a yong man. Each says
what many other correspondents
say, but says 1t better and more
briefly than most. Here is the
young mans letter.
Dear Miss Jordan:
A lot of US have read your
article about taking out the girls
and spending money on them.
Thank you. What you say Is All
right. But / wish you would EN-
Please make II clear to girls
that a fellow isn't necessarily a
tight-wad IL he stops spending
money for a few minutes. You
see. when we've spent all we've
got We can't go on spending, can
we!
NV roll Is gone by Tuesday
night. That's why I don't see my
girl again till Saturday.
Here is the fitting companion u
that letter. 1t is one of many tina
have swept over from Brooklyn:
Dear Miss Jordan:
About that question OF spending
money on girls, ! have to say this:
The great trouble is that most
DOyH LnlUh lHFN &c bNN W
money on us--not a little, but a
lot. It's a tradition with them.
They think We don't respect them
II they're not burning up their
salaries before our eyes. They
think the most popular man is the
best spender.
All that Is not so. Girls have
a contempt for a fellow who Is
throwing away his money like a
fool. But boys think It's sO-Rnd
that makes II so, for them. What
they need is a little common sense.
But girls can't teach men com
mon sense until they've married
them. MARY.
However, these two letters will
help many others, for they really
hold the solution of the problem.
That is a problem, and big one,
every girl and every young mar
realizes.

Plausible Words Mask Public
Robbery
But Congressman Must Know That Public Robbery Will Be
Politically Costly From Now On.

1t proposed by legislation introduced in the House
and the Senate to permit private individuals to exploit the
public wealth, taking lands belonging to the people
developing under private ownership the oil wells coal mines
potassium, sodium and other mineral wealth now belong
ing to the public subsequently peddng out the public
own property at extortonate prices to the public.
We assure Congress that however plausible the wording
Of such measures however pabe the socaled political
economists that ndorse them the public will not tolerate
any longer this kind Of robbery and will punish those guilty
of it.
Any man fighting to steal public property would
do well to get all he needs in lump The people will not
give him another chance.
The little men, small oil producers and Others say that
the bill in the Senate should be entitled "A bill to give the
public property to the Standard OIL The little
anxious to get their share of the plumber long dsrbu
ton is to take place.
There should be no distribution little oil OR big
men
The people should keep their property develop for
themselves sell it to themselves at fair price, any profit
going into the public purse.
No honest man will deny that Government exploitation
and development of coa OIL phosphate and other under
ground treasures would be efficient and economical
than private exploitation.
It is notorious that private individuals in the develop
ment of oil lands and coal mines operate most exravagan
IL and Wastefully.
One man of small capital finds the well produces the OIL
sells at low price to the big trust that absolutely die
The oil is badly stored often in open watts Evaporation
loss Of large part OF the gasoene at present so much
needed.
Much oil goes to waste from wells not controlled, de-
veloped by incompetents.
Coal mines incompletey and ineffciently worked
Gould you imagine anything more preposterous more
outrageous than paragraph from that Senate bill which
suggests that private exploiters
'f4ave the right to enter by legal subdvi-
sions any quantity of vacant coal lands of the
United States within any State of the Union not
otherwise appropriated reserved by competent
authority, not exceeding TWO THOUSAND .
FIVE HUNDRED AND SIXTY ACRES, upon
payment to the receiver of not less than $40 per
