BELATED WINTER.
When winter Is done, and Its Journey is run, It ought to retire for a
• while; retire to its tomb, or its lair, and make room lor spring, with •
• her radiant smile. When spring comes along with her laughter and song, •
• and birds singing carols In tune, man, trustful galoot, dons a light gauzy •
• suit, and underwear fitted for June. He's chipper and gay, and he thinks •
• It O. K. to soak ail his wintertime duds; oh, he's stylish and neat, and •
• the girls say he's sweet as the bees and the birds and the buds. Then •
• spring flies away, and the heavens are gray, and winter comes back with •
• a roar, with winds that are bleak, being iced for a week somewhere on •
• the Spitzbergen shore. Then where Is the guy who was sauntering by, •
• attired in his summertime rig? In a hospital bed he is out of his head, •
• insisting on dancing a Jig. Doc says to the nurse, "Better order a •
• hearse, and measure this gent for a grave; there's no way to miss such «
• a drama as this, since winter won't learn to behave."

THE BETHLEHEM ARMOR ARGUMENT.
The Bethlehem Steel company is spending a consid
erable sum of money on printing and postage. It has on
its mailing list, presumably, every newspaper of any con
sequence, and every congressman, whether of consequence
or not. The company is determined to give full publicity
to its side of the armor plate controversy. The campaign
is being carried on with energy. The company has issued
its twelfth bulletin, supplemented by a signed statement
from six minority members of the house committee on
naval affairs. This committee has favorably reported the
Tillman bill to appropriate $11,000,000 for a government
armor plant. The minority calls attention to certain
statements which are worthy of consideration:
The naval bill this year will carry an appropriation undoubtedly of mors
than >200.000,000. This bill appropriates >11,000,000 for an armor plate factory
of 20,000 tons capacity. ■ The estimates for this plant were made in 1913. Since
that time lnbor and material have advanced In cost approximately 40 per cent.
If this plant' is built under present conditions, or at any time during the con
tinuance of the war iu-Europe, it probably will cost the government >15,000,000.
We believe that this money could be spent more wisely at this time on the
navy afloat than on the navy ashore.
The. point made of the rise in cost of materials and
labor is well worth considering, and it is to be hoped that
the house, before it either approves or rejects the Tillman
plan, will learn whether $11,000,000 is enough. If it is
not, neither congress nor the country should be deceived.
However, the appropriation, whether of $11,000,000 or of
$15,000,000, for the erection of a government armor plant,
is not, as some congressmen seem to think, intended
either to weaken private industry or to take from such
industry its share of government business. The object
to give the government control ot the situation and at the
same time to increase the immediate output of armor

the statement, "any payment toward taxes, insurance and

expenses, is better than the loss of the whole plant."
ta. i l • i
It assumes that the erection ot a government plant will
scrap its own plant, in which $7,000,000 has been invested.
The company reminds the public that the naval estimates
call for 24,000 tons of armor a year for the next five years,
If it receives orders for 8000 tons a vear, it explains, it can
run its plant at two-thirds capacity and reduce the price.
That would still leave 10.000 tons a year for the govern
ment and other plants. As the Midvale and Carnegie
companies have not joined the Bethlehem company in its
protest, it is presumed that neither is concerned about
government orders, 'Flic situation would thus seem to in
volve only the Bethle hem plant and the goveAment.
GtIIvIjS COLLEGE EXPENSES.
To the benighted few who will still adhere to the comic
weekly idea of the frivolous expenditures of girls at col
lege, some figures prepared by the dean of Smith college
ought to be enlightening. There it appears from statistics
recently compiled, 421 girl students spend an average of
$765.55 a college year, the individual accounts ranging
prom $350 to $1850, and 56 per cent spend less than $750,
[their budgets being made up somewhat as follows:
[Necessities.
[Pleasure, church and charités
iBooks and stationery .
[ The dean further shows that in the case of students
hvhose expenditures range from $350 to $600 a year, their
stems, beginning with the heaviest and concluding with
[that of least expense, were: Board and room, traveling,
Incidentals, books, recreation, clothing, dues, health,
l-hurch and laundry. In the various groups spending more
khan $600 clothing was the next to the largest item of ex
pense, which indicates, so the dean concludes, that the
feirls vvho must economize the most do much of their
pressmaking. She then makes public a page from the

It is to the credit of the girls so the dean's statement
declares, that their expenditures, on the whole are no
greater than they were in 1891. Then, of course, as we all
know, the

young worden students of the country's colleges—if Smith
can be taken as a fair sample—are doing very well in
meeting and solving their financial problems. Not much
money, at any rate, is being wasted. And, in most in
stances, there is so little difference between the individ
ual budgets that the "social distinction" oftentimes cre
ated by the possession of a "liberal" allowance—the cause
of so much and such needless girlish agony at school—is,
fortunately, not in evidence.

wearily.

her husband, draw

"Why did you let

will take her to the lake for the sum

Folsom.
"End it! You bet it will, but she
has no notion of not coming back here.
Don't you see that she would not go
to the trouble of changing things

asked Harry's mother.
"No; I Jett that to you," answered
the doctor.
"It is a hard thing to have to say to
one's son; that he cannot stay under
the root that has always been home to
him." Mrs. Folsom's tone was sad.
"Pshaw! mother, every son expects
to leave home when he is married. The
mistake was in letting him bring her
here In the first place. A man has no
business to marry till he can provide a
home for his wife."
"I know it, and I advised against the
plan, as you remember, but nothing 1
could say could turn him from his plan,
and you gave your consent. You could
have refused, but you didn't." • Mrs.
Folsom smiled.
The doctor made a wry face. "1

when it comes to denying Harry any
thing, tut this thing cannot go on. For
the sake o? the future relations of all
of us, they must have a home by them
selves In the fall."
"I think Harry must see If himself.

Mrs. Folsom rose and walking over to
the window, laid her hand on her hus
band's shoulder. "I'll do it If you want
me to."
