Millions for Improvements The announcement of the Pennsylvania railroad that it will spend immediately $8,000,000 on improvements in the Pittsburgh district, as a forerunner of a program that will cost $100,000,000, coupled with the $29,000,000 which the Union Pacific will spend this year, shows not only the necessity of rehabilitating the properties but also the confidence which these great corporations have in the immediate future. The influence which the improvement policy of the various roads will have on the general financial condition of the country cannot be overestimated. Lumping the proposed improvements of the various lines, it is estimated that 3everaM)illions will be expended in the next few-years.-This money will go to steel concerns.

makers of railway supplies, equipment companies, arid to the thousands of workers whose skill and industry are required in the execution of a gigantic undertaking. . Indications of a revival in business are to be noted not only in railroad circles, but also in the gradual lessening of unemployment and a better condition of finances in all parts of the country, as evidenced by the statements o the federal reserve banks. The employment service of the department

of labor a few days ago reported that the number of workers listed in representative industries showed an increase in larch over February. "The basic industries, iron, stcfcl, and metal products; vehicles for land transportation; railroad repair shops; paper and printing; stone, clay and glass products ; and tobacco, made substantial gains," says F. I. Jones, director general of the employment service. He went on to say that reports from 231 of the principal industrial centers indicate an active building program. "Agriculture is rapidly coming back," he said, -"and there is an increased demand for experienced help." Every indication points to a general upward movement, Mr. Jones said. - The resumption of business activity is general in most parts of the country and is reflected in a demand for goods and commodities.

Adequate Defenses President Harding is not letting himself be deluded into believing that the world has entered into an ideal state since the Washington conference agreed on certain limitation of armaments. The efforts of the "little navy" group to reduce the enlisted force of the navy to 67,000 do not receive his endorsement. Neither does he believe in cutting the fighting strength of the army to a minimum.

Congress is not embarking on a wise course if it reduces the enlisted force of the army and

navy. President Harding is right, in insisting that the appropriation be sufficiently large to

provide for enough seamen properly to man the

vessels authorized for the American navy under the limitation of naval armaments treaty.

TODAY'S .TALK By Geerae Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can," "Take It,"

WE OOJ ' ' Austin Dobson, the English poet, once wrote a most unusual couplet, full of meaning. Here it is : "Tima'goes, you say? Ah, no! Alas, time stays. We go." Like single members in a procession, we tread on. Our little acts and efforts are what we leave for Time to play with as it will. But WE go! Into an eternity of which we know nothing. And yet our intelligence teaches us that we have nothing to fear and everything to hope for. And every worthy act or thought which we give out in this life is a preparation for the way ahead. , I was in a Florida city at the time that an Indian chief of the Seminola tribe was shot by an unknown assassin. The incident gave mo much to think about, but the picture that has stayed with me is that of the dead chieftain's friend. On being asked for information as to the last moments of the chief, he replied: "Him go on long sleep. Him all light." , , . We are all going toward a long sleep. Every rising sun tells us that this is true. But it also tells u3 that it is all right. We go! But time stays to shape out and complete the things which we have so feebly started. The fact, however, that we should not be able to see our work in its completed form should not discourage us in the least. No man ever left his life work completed. What we have done, stays. We go. Keats, Shelley, Byron, Poe, Burns, were hardly more than boys when they died. But their work stayed with Ti:sO and will last as long as Time stays with human beings. We go. Let us keep going In better heart!

C. F. ABBOTT Higher Ideals and' better ethics in business is the hobby of C. F. Abbott, widely known in this country -among the executives of big business. Ab

bott was in Washington recently and conferred with President -Hardimg on ways and means of improving commercial standards in selling. Starting in as a "Knight of the Grip," Abbott ha3 steadily, grown to be known as the "father of the idea of fair and honest dealing in business." H e has been sales manager of

some of the largest manufacturing concerns in this country and his knowledge thus gained has led him into spreading the gospel of better business in nearly all of the big cities in this country and only recently toured Latin-American countries on the same subject. At present he is conducting a series of lectures before the Y. M. C: A. in New York. Abbott says he has met with great success In this latter work. "Starting in with the younger men coL-Lemplatirfc a business career,.training them properly and seeing that they are placed in their proper sphere in the business world, is the biggest step

forward in putting selling on a more honest basis," is the way Abbott speaks of his work at the Y. M. C. A.

Mr. Abbott is secretary of the Amer

ican Society of Sales Executives, of

which he was the principal organiza

tion. Abbott is also a member of the

Commercial organization. Abbott is

also a member of, the Commercial Standards Council, designed primarily

to spread the doctrine of fairer and

better methods in doing business.

A Whole Day To Make Soup

Sounds silly, doesn't It? The housewife of a generation ago

will tell you that It wa3 true, nevertheless. ""

In those days soup stock was the

work of hours. Vegetables had to be

laboriously prepared. The stock, to be properly made, was cooked one day, cooled, skimmed, flavored and served the next day.

In addition to the labor, this meant that the kitchen range was kept constantly at work. Today the housekeeper, faced by the necessity of preparing a good meal quickly, may serve a nourishing vegetable broth, a delicious clear soup, or a delicate bisque as easily as she makes a cup of tea. The additional course needed to

transform an ordinary meal into aj formal repast can be added quickly J and without labor, by the simple j operation of opening a can. There I are hundreds of attractive dishes to;, be made from canned foods. These I have been collected in a booklet

Rippling Rhymes By Walt Mason

OUTCLASSED When Ananias was on deck he sprung his falsehoods day by day; he strove to make the truth a wreck, succeeding in a modest way. He did his best, and if his best was cheap, compared with modern curves, we should not flout him with a jest, denying praise that he deserves. We should not greet

with ribald jeers the liars of an age

gone by; we should not scorn tne pioneers who first discovered how to lie.

There were no oil Btocks to be sold

when Ananias blazed the way; there

were no salted mines where gold was shown to come-ons every day. There

were no offices in sight, no candidates the snaps desired; there were no burb

ling blurbs to write, in praise of books

that made men tired. Financial wiz

After Dinner Stories A young but exceptionally brilliant

of h is .inordinate betting. The presi

him a position in an eastern college. To the president there he wrote: "The voung man has a prpmising fu-

tnrp,Bntl anything you can do to cure

him ef betting will be a benefit to so-

iety."

The prrcesf.or went east, and was cordially received. Conversation had proceeded but a few monments when he said to the president, "I'll bet you seventy-five dollars you have a wart

between your shoulder Mlades."

The - president hesitated. "Young

man.'.' he eaid, "I never Let; but Just to teach yeni a lesson I will take you

up."

He thereupon proved to the young man's satisfaction that he was in err

or, and the professor paid the seventy

five. The president wrote west relating the incident, concluding "I hope that I have cured him." The other wrote back: "I fear the case is hopeless. The very day he left here he bet me one hundred dollars that he could make you take off your shirt." -

The total attendance of the Boys' Bible classes for the month of March was 860, according to the report prepared by Herbert Pettijohn, boys' secretary. This attendance established a record, it being the highest for any month in the history of the Y. M. C. A. The average weekly attendance for March was 200. Since the opening of the Bible classes the fall before, the total attendance had reached 4,153.

This figure was larger than tne year before.

aids didn't sell blue sky to boobs unknown to fame, and so there was no

chance to tell a falsehood worthy of the name. There were no yearly almanacs in which to boost some wooden pills; men knew not how to dodge a tax, or sidestep merchant's monthly bills. The world was then a siiflple place where people toiled and paid their debts, and it is surely no disgrace if Ananias missed -some bets. He bravely warred against the truth, with tireless if misguided zest, and if his efforts were uncouth, he surely tried to do his best.
