ried only one couple will have enough
money saved to furnish home. An
other of the 10 couples will rent fur
nished quarters or board. Eight OF
every 10 couples beginning married
life will furnish their homes wholly
or partly on credit, to a large extent
on the partial payment plan.
The foregoing is the list of re-
port made by a home economics ex-
pert, who was sent out by one of
the largest corporations that supply
equipment for homes, to investigate
the financial foundation of matri-
mony The report adds that 40 per
cent of the yearly salary of a young
married man is necessary to furnish
a home comfortably in the average
American city. For man earning
$3.50 month this would mean 1920.
Failure of young men to maintain
savings accounts or make other in
vestments before marriage necessi-
tates the adding of debt to romance,
the report recites, and is undoubtedly
one of the factors in the divorce evil.
Two peak loads come to the average
marriage, the report concludes; one
in furnishing a home and the other
almost 20 years later, in educating
children and giving them a start in
life. The report recommends saw
ings account, life insurance and in
vestment in sound bonds, bought of a
reliable dealer, as a sure way of
lessening marital unhappiness and
divorce born of a debt.

OUR LACK OF INTEREST

Some more than surprising figures
in regard to the lack of interest OF
the American people in their govern
ment are contained in the July 81
issue of the Saturday Evening Post
The article shows what a small per
cent of the registered voters take
part in the elections.
Senator Dill of Washington state,
for instance, received II per cent of
the registered vote while only SO per
cent of the registered voters in the
state participated in the election last
fall.
In Wisconsin only SO per cent of
the voters participated in the presi
was reelected with only % per cent
of the registered vote of his state.
Senator Brookhart was elected by
only 20 per cent of the registered
voters in Iowa and 55 per cent of
the registered voters in that state
did not go to the polls.
The article in the Post is loaded
with figures and statements which
show that the United States is gov
erned by less than so per cent of its
registered voters.
The unfortunate thing is that the
tendency toward letting the other fell
low do our voting seems to be grow
ing. 1t is a dangerous situation
The safety and success of government
by the people depends upon the peo-
pie taking sufficient interest to at
least cast their ballots

CHEAPER COAL USABLE.
Steam Size of Anthracite Advocated
for Home Furnaces.

TIE public has been erroneously
tau stnt to believe that only the So
called domestic sizes" of anthracite
coal can he used in the home. The
smal steam size represents % per
cent of all the anthracite mined. AS
the :public through lack of under
standing of the facts. has become un-
willing to use this, It has become a
by-product and is sold below cost of
production. Yet with proper utiliza-
tionl methods the steam size can be
successfully used in the home.
Trade customs and improper ntili-
zaticn methods have resulted in an
unnecessary number of sizes. These
all add to the ultimate cost. From
the ;puhIics viewpoint it would be
desirable to arrange for an immediate
rrclasSification and the adoption of
domestic appliances for the use of
the smaller sizes, that under existing
market conditions are sold in compe-
titioh with bituminous coal
