Answer-It is a shame the way
 the average girl is forced to cut her
 financial teeth on the thin pocket
 hook of young husband. It is hard
 on her, and it is cruelty to dumb
 animals to the man because he can
 not afford to have his small salary
 wasted by young and untrained
 wife who has no more idea of the
 value of aSdollar than she has of
 the theory of relativity.
 Up to the time she is married not one girl in hundred, unless she is busi- ness girl, has ever been taught anything about how to spend money so as to get the most out of it. As matter of fact. she has never spent any money at all because her mother has bought her all she had, and so when she becomes the disbursing agent of family she tackles job for which she is utterly unpre- pared.
 That is why so many young couples go on the rocks during the first years of their married life, for nothing in the world gets on a mans nerves so much as seeing his hard-earned money wasted and thrown away, nor does loves young dream last long when the ways anC means committee in household are 1T a perpetual fight.

 to do their duty in educating her

But there are other men who
 never think of being in love with
 girl until she shows that she is flat
 tered and pleased at their atten-
 tions, and that she is in love with
 them. So you have to study your
 man and adapt your technique to
 his individual idiosyncrasies.
 DOROTHY DIX.
 Dear Miss Dix-My mother never taught me anything about how to han de money. She never showed me in any way how to manage so as to get the most out of the money spent, so since I have been married have just blum dered along, generally making a mess oi things. My table money never holds out my allowance never holds out, and yet never have anything to show for what have spent l want to be good ant thrifty wife, but l simply don't know how. My husband is the best of men but he won't help me. He says tha when he works and earns the money i is my place to manage it. What shall do? A FRIEND.

MUSCLE SHOALS
PROJECT Laid
To POLITICS
Witness Tells Committee Con-
siderlng Bids That Other
Locations Were Better
D international News serviee.

NJ ANboEW8thODMt GOWU ND8NJC8s
The charge that political influence
forced location of the Government
nitrate project at Muscle Shoals,
Ala, over the protest Of army en-
gineers was made today by Senator
Norris Rep.) of Nebraska at a hear
ing Of the Senate Agriculture Com
mittee on bids for its operation.
DIR. c. C. Parsons, Government
consulting engineer. told the COM
mittee the War Departments ex-
perts were Unanimously agreed"
the plant should have been located
in southwestern Virginia or north
ern Tennessee.
why then was it located at
Muscle Shoals?" asked Senator Hef.
lin Dem.) Of Alabama.
"One word explains it," Senator
Norris interposed, politics, but the
least one says about that, the bet
ter"
Parsons declared the Government
made a mistake in selecting the
Muscle Shoals site because water
power forms but a secondary and
minor consideration in the fixation
OF nttrates." He said two different
processes were widely used in which
nitfates were made from coal gas
at a much cheaper cost.
1T Is far more important to have
access to coal than to water power
to make cheap fertilizer under the
processes now being used" said
Parsons. THE power plays but q
secondary consideration"
Virginia Site Sought.
Parsons said the Governments ex.
perts, before the plant was built at
Muscle Shoals, sought a site In
southwestern Virginia, because the
high mountains would be advan.
tageous in getting hydrogen and
nitrogen out Of the air."
Il believe the project was built
at Muscle Shoals under the pretense
Of making nitrogen, but actually
with the purpose OF making the
Tennessee river navigable there"
said Parsons.
II am sure I could make nitrates
cheaper at Ainslee, Ala, or Ash.
land, KY, where large coke ovens
are located, than at Muscle Shoals.
Under the new process, it is more
important to nave the plant located
near coke ovens or in q coal region
than near cheap water power"
Parsons said the old process in
making nitrates was from water
power while the new process used
coal gas. In the future, Parsons
said, all condensed fertilizer will be
made from coal gas because Of the
cheaper cost.
Would Reject All Bids.
Parsons condemned Henry Ford's
offer for Muscle Shoals as the least
advantageous Of all the offers to the
farmer" He charged the Ford en-.
gineers had no definite plan for
making fertilizer and had said they
would worry about fertilizer after
they got the project"
Parsons recommended all the rival
offers be rejected and new bids
asked on terms fixed and published
by the Government.
Senator Heflin, of Alabama, de.
clared the opposition to Ford's offer
came from a specially created
lobby"

Reorganization by Congress of

surveys all building requirements.
embracing questions Of site, OF the
Federal Government throughout the
country, Is urged In a resolution
formally adopted by the American
institute Of Architects, which today
began its second days session Of its
IIty-rifth convention in the Cor
coran Art Gallery.
The architects declared that the
building program of the United
States is many years behind in the
volume of construction authorized
Dy Congress, and that the need for
greatly increased accommodations
mas become imperative.
Survey of Requirements.
Accurate surveys Of requirement.
and estimates of cost, it was as.
serted, should be the basis OF all
appropriations for Federal building
construction both in the District
and elsewhere.
Adoption Of the resolution follow.

Colonel Clarence o. Sherrill. who
said that through housing importa nt
Government activities in non Dire.

was courted.
another resolution adopted today
expressed the conviction that all
the public architecture Of the United

standard achieved in private and
corporate work and that this end
may be attained, greater local in.

mics effected, and the pressure on

suited in producing the Lincoln

scum, and other notable buildings
both in the National and state
capitals"
Among the reports submitted to
the convention today was one from
the committee on cooperation with
the Fine Arts Commission, OF which
Horace w. Peaslee, Of this city is
chairman.
The institute is making a sys.
tematic. effort, through a committee.
to preserve historic monuments and
scenic beauties Of the nation. Def.
mite steps. II was reported to the

serve landmarks threatened with
destruction In many parts Of the
country, including the Wayside Inn
at Sudbury, Mass. purchased by
Henry Ford; restoration Of Faneuil
Hall, Boston. and houses In Salem
and Wrentham. Mass.
The general failure Of American
architects to become familiar with
and specify modern economical
methods of construction IL one Of
the great causes Of high housing
costs, so grave as to warrant It's
designation as an architectural
crime"
