OFFICERS LEAVING THE ARMY

1t is no wonder the United States
regular army is losing many of its
officers, through resignation, when it
is recalled there has been no increase
in the rate of pay since 1908. while
the cost of living has advanced to a
remarkable degree. Some estimates
put the advance in necessaries of life
at 100 per cent in that time. Since
the armistlce was signed 1895 Off
GERS have resigned from the regular
military establishment, and N the

The case as to salaries in the navy
is the same as in the army. Pay goes
on under circumstances prevailing
eleven years ago, when food and
clothing were on a much lower price
level, and when commissioned Off
GERS could support their rank in a
proper manner on their pay
The question might be asked, Why
should army and navy officers be
forced to buy their own uniforms

when the present rates of pay were

consideration and salaries fixed on
what was then an equitable basis

leave the service and go into civil
life-a difficult thing to do; for after
a man has spent the best part of his
life in becoming an expert in mill
tary and naval affairs he cannot
easily go into any other profession.
The latter alternative. however, is be-
ing accepted at an alarming rate, so
far as army officers are concerned,
as the official figures show.
1t is the same way with thousands
of salaried professional men and wo-
men in other walks of life. While
men in various employments incident
to manufacturing, transportation and
production of various kinds have been
able to meet the increased cost of

CONSERVING OTHER PEOPLES
TIME.

A minute of time of some men is
very valuable, while they feel that
half an hour belonging to the other
fellow is of no consequence.
The above is suggested By a letter
which a travelling salesman writes to
an exchange. He protests against the
habit of some business men, who keep
a travelling man waiting around. when
they could finish up business with
him in five or ten minutes. As sales
mems time is valuable. and their
travelling expenses add to cost of
goods, all this lost time has to be
paid for by some one.
Some newspaper reporters complain.
of a similar tendency on the part Of
certain people. The reporter is per-
forming a function of the highest
value, the truthful recording of the
community's daily history. yet some
people will keep him waiting around
for their convenience as if he were n
loafer whose time has no value. They
will sometimes do so when it would
not take five minutes to give the de-
sired information. Some seem rather
TO enjoy this assertion of their own
superior importance. But it is only
fair to say that the great majority
of people are very courteous to news
paper workers, and it is only an up
start minority that ever slight them.
The worlds work can be more eff
ficiently done when everyone becomes
conslderate of other peoples time.
The gracious and courteous man Is
willing to stop what he is doing for a
minute to save the time of one who
is waiting for him. He makes friends
by doing it and friends are valuable
always. The man who is so con-
scious of his own position and dignity
that everyone must await his mood
is not one that people like much to
do business with.

MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED
DRESS
EVIDENCE OF PROSPERITY.

While there is complaint about the
cost of living it is not felt acuteiy by
the entire population no matter now
severely it may bear on a large per-
centage. else there would not be the
evidence of free spending that is seen
on every hand.
Automobile tourists visiting the
Fairgrounds of the nation have taxed
10 the limit the resources for their
accommodation, cross continent travel
has broken all records and trains
have been crowded to the limit OF
their capacity.
Doubtless the relaxation from the
stress of war has had something to do
with it, but from all sections come
reports that unprecedented numbers
of Americans have been ''gadding
around. This. too. despite the fact
that little in the way of reduced rail-
road rates has been offered as an
inducement to travel.
Apparently those who have Travelled
have gone because they had the
money to spend and cared little abou
how much it cost just so they got
there. If the amount of travel was
due to the turning loose of the ac-
cumulation of repressed desire during
the DAYS when eyes were turned to-
ward our army in Europe, 1t seems t.
have been turned loose in a spree
Of seeing and spending with the lat
ter not one whit behind the former.
The situation IS evidence that a
large number of people possess suf-
ficient incomes to be able to with
stand without self-denial the appre-
citation of prices. They may realize
that they are paying more, but since
they have they are willing to spend.
1t might be expected that the heavy
taxes levied on incomes, coupled with
other conditions attending living,
would tend to produce a wave of
economy, but while doubtless there
are those who are saving in every
possible way, the savers are not con-
spicuous like the spenders. That at
this time there should be so many
spenders is evidence that large
Eumber are prosperous. for one can
not spend money unless he has it,

DEFYING AMERICAN SENTIMENT

Again German opera in New York,
barrage by world war veterans to
stop it, rush by the police, a num-
Der of soldiers and sailors injured.
Meanwhile the Germans giving the
opera, without the refused permit
from the mayor, and the audience
assembled to hear them escaped I'M
hurt.
Mob law when led by soldiers can
no more be condoned than when it is
resorted to by others. Neither can
defiance of every law Of propriety, if
not of statutes, be endured calmly.
These two things constitute a problem
that authorities must solve. for as
long as a fragrant disregard of the
sentiment of the majority is tolerated
by authorities trouble is to be ex-
pected.
Irrespective of what technical rights
may be claimed for the performance
Of German operas, there is nothing
palmer than that it is a dangerous
breach of propriety to attempt it, at
least while the country is technically
at war with Germany. Such breach
imposes a burden upon the, public
officers to protect performers, and
this is expected by Germans and pro,
Germans under the most aggravating
conditions. They would cause police
to club war heroes that those whom
the veterans regard as un-American
may continue defiance of American
sentiment and laws of propriety.
Thus while mob action must be
stopped at any cpst, the sensible and
just course is at the same time to
prevent things which are defiance OF
100 per cent Americanism and those
who risked their lives for it.
While the authorities must show
soldiers they cannot take the law in
to their hands. the officials also mus,
show the Huns that they must keep
within the bounds of propriety. II
is riotous to perform German operas
in the United States at this time and
those who attempt it ought to be
charged with melting to riot.

PRODUCTION COSTS.

One of the causes of inefficienCy is
the failure of producers of all kinds
to ascertain production costs. The
commercial and manufacturing ele7
ments commonly blame the farmers
because most of them never analyze
the costs of production. They will keep
cows, for instance, that do not pro-
duce milk enough to pay for their
feed. Yet the farmer is not the only
loose business man. The Federal
Trade commission reports that only
10 per cent of the manufacturing
establishments know what it actually
costs them to manufacture theil
products.
Many authorities on the modern
science of production hold that the
industries of the country could null.
tiply their product two or three times
by a careful study of scientific eff
cheney methods.
OF course most producers make 6
rough estimate of what their costs
are. They commonly take very
hopeful and optimistic view. They
figure that under the most favorable
conditions they can turn out so many
articles in a day. at a certain cost pei
article. But favorable conditions dc
not always exist, in fact are very apt
not to exist.
When the year has passed it has
been found that owing to unexpected
conditions and contingencies. the
cost has been very much more. AS a
result, while good prices have been
secured, the business IS done at loss
the industry has got to cease,
throwing lot of people out of work
and scrapping machinery.
