business begins to look better. N
is true despite the coal situation
which of course is retarding the re
turn of prosperity, particularly IN
the iron and steel and allied indus
tries.
In Pennsylvania / found that
many steel mills are reluctant to
blow in blast furnaces in spite of a
good demand for steel, because OF
the danger of fuel shortage.
In Michigan, Illinois and Wiscor-
sin | found the same situation re-
hected in the difficulty of getting
material and parts.
it is unfortunate that it has not
been demonstrated to labor that the
slight reduction in wages to which
so many object so desperately as a
threat against their war-found pros
perity. is not in reality a reduction
at all-since the average purchasing
power of the dollar has come up
approximately 10 1-3 per cent more
than the average reduction in wages.
In terms of real prosperity. then
since hat is measured in mer-
chandise, not in money-the work.
err is getting a greater power to
purchase the things he needs anu
wants than he had at the highest
peak of his war prosperity.
For example. if he still wants silk
shirts, he can buy three of them
today for the price of one in 1919.
The small but welcome advance
in the price of agricultural products
has given a decided impetus to busi-
ness. There has been improvement
in both manufacturing and retail
business in many lines and In all
parts of the country.
But there is still much ~unsettle-
ment in merchandising methods.
Bargain sales and fictitious values
based on wartime price comparisons
are still much in evidence. and are
doing much to increase buyer-resis-
tance. thus sending VI the cost of
selling.
1t seems hard for some merchants
TO realize that retail advertising is
simply an invitation to the customer
to come into the store and compare
what was said about the merchan-

actual merchandise in the store.

A complete return of prosperity

wait upon a resumption of foreign

He has nice position, making Si5
a week. His mother says he is too
young to marry just now. He does
not want to wait as we planned to
get married in November, so We de-
cided to elope. but l am super
stituous about doing that as every
one claims that one has bad luck
and that no good ever comes out
of a wedding like that.
But his mother will not see us
married and my mother will not, as
We are of different religions, ana
my mother said she would not see
me married outside OF my church.
So we do not know what to do.
Do you think we could be happy
and do what we would like to ana
get along on s45 week? We are
not much on running around. We
like to go out but not every night.
MARY.
I would suggest that you give
much thought to the matter. Matri-
mony is serious thing and should
not be jumped into hostily. particu-
larly In view of the difference in
religion, which so frequently causes

love with the first one, but as
yet haven't met another whom
l would care to go steady with.
Now, l was told that it didn't
seem proper for a girl to be go
ing out with one fellow one night
and another fellow the next night.
But what am l to do. as I do not
want to stay home all the time?
KATHLEEN.
Where's the harm. if they're all
nice boys? Providing, of course,
you do not mean you go out every
night. That would not be good
for your health. and perhaps your
reputation might suffer, too. But
you could compromise on one or
two nights week, until from
among them steps out one who
will take the place of the first

Is Marriage a
Failure?

These problems may be roughly
divided into the social and the ~
dlvldual. The social problems are
referred to the lawmakers, who yie~y
the matter with relation to the state
and its interests. The jungle princi-
pal of capture and possession finds
expression in most of our marriag ge
laws. Here is field for organized
propaganda, in which the feminist :

be so large a question: the state has

The individual problems of mar

1t would seem that churchmen.
lawmakers, scientists, and soci1lo-
sists could find answers to the ques-

PLAN TO HASTEN RATIFICATION
OF ARMS CONFERENCE TREATIES
All Principal Issues Involved in the Treaties Growing
Conference Are Brought the Surface That
ate May Have No Trouble in Acting Speedily

The committee discussions developed
few surprises in their disclosure of
senate sentiment. In the view of the
republicay leaders they confirmed the
expectation that the Horsepower treaty
would encounter greatest opposition,
that the naval limitation treaty would
be questioned by some senator's be-
cause of it's provision against further
fortihcation of Guam and the Philip
pines, and that the general far eastern
and Chinese tariff treaties might have
some opponents among those who had
hoped to see the conference give China
a greater measure Of independence
from foreign interference.
The treaties relating to the Island of
zap and to submarine and poison gas
are now expected by the leaders to
meet with the least opposition of all,
and some senators believed they may
go through without a dissenting vote.
It also Is the belief of those who
are plotting the treaties through the
senate that none Of them faces oppo-
sition strong enough to menace seri-
ously ratification or even to assure
adoption of reservations.

MADE
FOR ARMY BUDGET
Asks Congress to State Amount
That 1t VIII Set Aside to Run
the Army During 1928.
fay rhs Aseoela.ed Pressl

WASHINGTON, Feb. IA sugges-
tion that congress fix upon a lump
sum appropriations it is prepared to
vote for maintenance of the regular
army for the next fiscal year and then
ask the war department to work out
an army plan that win yield the max
imum of military efficiency within
that period, was laid today before the
house subcommittee on army appro-
priation at it's initial consideration of
the 1923 army budget. Major General
Harbord, deputy chief of staff, was
the only officer heard as Secretary
Week was still at his home, indisposed,
and his appearance with General
Pershing has been deferred until next
week Committee members said Gen
eral Harbord had advanced the lump
appropriation suggestion in view of
the evident desire of the committee to
obtain an idea of what would be done
with the army In the event of reduc-
tion of the authorized enlisted strength
below the present $150,o0o,0o0. 1t was
indicated that the officer had pointed
out the difficulties OF shaping q we'll
rounded military program on a basis
of authorized strength alone and urged
il would be more sound procedure to
state the sum that would be available
and cut the army cloth to fit that ma
terial.
Back Of the suggestion lies hope
in military circles that congress will
work out a continuing financial policy
for the army covering a period of
years. 1t is argued that if the army
could know just what funds would be
made available each year for the next
three or four years il would be pos
sible to frame constructive program
and to lessen the appropriation among
commissioned and enlisted personnel
as to their future in the service.
