GRAY-HMRED men, during springtime are haunt
ed by the fascinating memories OF their departed
youth.
They recall how, about this time OF year,-long
ago, they dreamed Of running away to sea.
Oh all forms OF romantic adventure, the sailors
life has been the topnotcier since Marco Polo some
six centuries ago brought the magnetic needle COM
pass from Asia. thereby putting ocean exploration
firmly on its feet 1t was great step forward
from charting a ships by the stars
In a few generations the world has seen romance
steadily driven from The sailors life
The beautiful iu-rigged schooner roted at an
chor crowded ont by the steamship. The slave
trader passed Pirates driven from the high
seas
Seamens unions regulate ocean life where once
the cutass belayin'-pin and walking the plank"
rcgned supreme
One OF the final nails has just been driven in the
coffin OF ocean romance in the Westinghouse elec-
trcal plant, Philadelphia.
The occasion was the first successful demonstra-
ton OF gian; gyroscope which will prevent big
ocean liners from rolling except during heavy
storms. Similar "gyro-stabizers" are already in use
smaller ships, especially yachts
The typical 1922 comment about this will be 4:
Thank goodness, seasckness finally is prevenable" "
Therell be very little thanks among men who, as
boys, wanted to be Treasure Island pirates when
they grew up.
Romance is disappearing from the land as well
as the ocean. 1t is OF the penalties OF what
man calls progress, or the conquest OF the earth and
the elements.
Scientists and inventors making life dull cut
and dried, and romance exists with uncertainties
The modern boy senses this. The briny deep has
no such lure for him as it had for his father And
the 1922 youngSter is losing a lot, even il he ina
gines that he is finding much romance in wireless
and airplanes as his pa found in the domain OF
shanghaed sailors
The day is not far off when romance will exist
only in science. Boyhood probably has in store a
flood OF books OF the scientfc-romance sort such
as Jules Verne created.

HARDING ANNOUNCES
GOVERNMENT SAVINGS
Declares Receipts Will Exceed
Expenditures as Result of
Budget System.

Washington.-Announcing prospects
of surplus government receipts over
expenditures this fiscal year as
a result of economies in administra-
ton, President Harding, speaking at
the second business meeting of the
government, declared he doubted eff
any government in the world has made
a more persistent n conscientious
endeavor to cut down its expenditures
and institute economies and restore
sane and normal ways again., than
has the American government.
The president and Director Dawes
of the budget, who followed him. an
nounced to the meeting, composed of
more than a thousand government Of
ficials of high and low degree that di-
rect savings of $500 600 and indi-
rect savings of more thar S104.OO0,0 600
had beer accomplished In less thar six
months through the operation alone of
the budget bureau and co-ordinating
agencies. Mr.. Harding expressed the
further opinion that the efforts on the
part of the government toward econ
omy had been reflected among the
people at large.
The president reiterated his oppo-
sition to deficiency appropriations and
made a plea for an understanding
among officials of the government that
the common good. not departmental adj
vantage is the end at which all of us
must work.
Discussing the prospects of a surplus
instead of a deficit as was generally
expected, Mr.. Harding appealed for a
continuation of the careful and pains
taking effort which had been made
continuously during the first half of
the year..
The prospect of a surplus when COM
pared with the estimated deficiency OF
s24. 10000 outlined In the budget fig
ures submitted to congress in Deem.
Der is certainly an occasion of much
satisfaction to all of us.

UNE EMPLOYMENT SITUATION
SHOWS MARKED DECsINE
Increase In Number Of Workers In 40
of IS Cities for January
AZ Per Cent

Washington. - Unemployment de-
during January, the department of la
Dor reported Monday and 4 0per cent
out of IS cities and Industrial ceEters
had AZ per cent more workers on pay
rolls January 81. The calculation was
made from the reports of 1,42S con-
Germs normally employing more than
500 people each.
Nearly all industries, outside of
steel, textiles and railroads, increased
their forces. In Detroit, center of the
automobile industry, the increase was
500 per cent; in Sioux City, Iowa, 81
per cent, and in San Francisco, 14.S
per cent.
Denver showed the largest decrease
in employment with a drop In the num-
Der of employed of 43.7 per cent dur
ing the month.
while the results "fail to give any
indication of the substantial improve
ment in business activities predicted
for January" the report said, "the in
rease in employment in metal pro-
ducts other than iron and steel and
maintenance industries is the encour-
aging feature.
