Comes a day, as the high-brow
writers say, when some little bob
| haired flapper marks you for her
own, then all your PHILOSOPHERS will
be shot to pieces by glances from
| the loveliest eyes were ever seen.
Then all your wisdom will be turned
into foolishness by a peaches-and-
cream complexion and q little rose
bud mouth, and suddenly the career
of the bachelor will seem to you the
! fate of the damned and you will en-
brace the role of husband with JOY
and Thanksgiving.
| OF course, abstractly considered,
| bachelorhood is full of emoluments
and fun. The bachelor is care free.
He has no responsibilities. He can
come and go as he likes. He may
| spend all of his money on his own
| pleasure. He does not have to work
| hard unless he feels like it because
| it does not take much to support a
single man. He may take chances
| at fortune which the man with a
i family dares not risk. He is sought
after socially, because the unmar-
ried man is a boon to hOstesses and
Of interest to all womankind.
On the other hand, the married
man is a slave to his family. He
has no more freedom than a Gagged
bird. He must furnish his wife with
a good, reliable alibi for every hour
he is away from her. If he marries
a dull woman he is in for a lifetime
of boredom. If he narries a neu-
rotic, high-tempered one, he cannot
| flee far enough to get away from
| her nagging. If his wife is a mis-
cradle cook, he cannot change his
| boarding place.
Marriage to a man means a life
sentence at hard labor, for the wants
of a wife and children are never
supplied, and all that he gets out
! Of his work is his bare board and
! clothes, and those the worst in the
family. He is always filled with
| cares and anXietieS for those de-
| pendent upon him.
At first blush, it would seem that
| the bachelor has the preferred lot in
| life, and perhaps he has, as a general
| thing, while he is young. Buc age
| comes to all, son, and then the old
bachelor who has been too selfish to
marry pays the price Of selfishness
which is loneliness.
He has no wife to cherish and love
| him, and humor him, and spoil him.
! and to be a companion to him of eve
nings as they sit around the radiator
and to fuss over him, and cook him
up the little dishes that are good for

Merrill Explains Water Power
Plans.

Light. heat and power for the govern
ment workshop and other consumers in
Washington could be furnished at reduced
cost by water-power development at Chain
Bridge and Great Falls, o. c. Menell. ex-
ecutive secretary of the Federal Power
Commission. told special subcommittee Of
the House District committee Saturday.
The only justification. however. for under
taking this development. Mr.. Merrill said.
at Federal government expense, is the fact
that this is the National Capital and Con-
eress has exclusive jurisdiction.
II water power is to be developed at
Great Falls for the National Capital it
should be done so as to reduce the cost to
the consumers to the full extent possible.
This would require carrying out the full
development as proposed in the report of
Maj. NJ. C. Tyler This would furnish ap-
proximately twice as much power as the
Capital city would require in the near
future. but there is ready market in cir
cumsdiacent territory for the surplus.
II Congress decides to carry out the Po-
tomac River development. for which the
estimated cost is $4,000. 900. before this
money or any part of IL is expended def
mite arrangement should be made for &C.
quirine all lands and rights in the vicinity
Of Great Falls needed in the development
Legally binding contracts should also be en-
tered into for the purchase and use Of the
power by the local public utilities.
Mr.. Merrill pointed out that there are
two courses open for the government, one
TO make the development and then sell
the energy to local utilities companies for
distribution The other. which he thought
preferable. was for the government to con-
struct the plants, then lease them TO local
or other utilities companies for producing
and distributing the energy.
These contracts with the local utilities
companies should be made. he emphasized.
before any Of the development work was
undertaken.
An estimate in the report Of Maj. Tyler
made IN lSZl says that the energy could
be developed and delivered at substations
in the city OF Wilmington at about 7 mills
a kilowat hour and that the cost Of steam
power at the same point is somewhat in
excess of 10 mills kilowat hour.
In reply to questions by the acting chair
man. Mr.. Merrill said that part o. the de-
velopment project in the Tyler report is
now being carried out through the con-
struction of the new water conduit from
Great Falls TO the District line.
He also emphasized that Congress in
passing upon the proposed development
should give serious consideration to the
fact that one Of the three reservoirs pro-
posed. that at the Chain Bridge, would
create lake nine miles long and that in
the surrounding territory there might be
established very beautiful park. with camp
sites and summer cottages. which would
greatly increase the value Of surrounding
property.

Wheat Acreage Cat.

Low prices and overstocked markets is
the explanation offered by the Department
Of Agriculture for the fact that the present
crop of winter wheat would be smaller
than any since 1917.
Farmers from all sections of the coun
try. the department states. have planted
fewer acres in wheat this year than ever
before. The reason for this, 1t was said.
is that the large wheat markets Of the
country during the past year have been
overstocked. and farmers have been OBJ
lieed TO sell their crops at less than cost
Of production.
Scarcity Of labor. the high price Of seed
wheat, transportation and the raising
difficulties and many other perplexities
have caused farmers to plant less grain
than ever before and to concentrate on
other more profitable and less troublesome
products" the department says.
It was intimated that prohibition has
had something to do with this condition.
Files of the Department Of Agriculture
showed a marked decrease in the produc-
ton Of grain products since the enact
ment Of the Volstead law. and officials
admitted that il was their personal opinion
that the prohibition Of beer had much to
do with the present low prices Of grain
products.
The average yield Of wheat per acre for
the present year. according to the depart
ment forecast. will be less than the aver
age yield for the past seven years. and
other grain products will show marked
decrease.
1t was an. ounced also that many farm
ers throughout the country have found it
necessary either to sell or place mortgages
on their farms because Of this condition.
