"COST PLUS." One of the chief ca'-'-es of the high prices, particularly In commodities affected directly by building operations. Is said to be the "cost plus" system. This system, -whereby a contractor or manufacturer sprees to do a certain Job as actual co.t plus a certain percentage for supervision and profit. ?pem3 logical enough on the face of It. It came into existence naturally during the war, as a result of the unettlement of prices and wages. Contractors hael no much difficulty In estimating costs, and ?o often lost money on a rising market, that they welcomed i plan which guaranteed them against lo?s. It ha? led, however, to grave abuses. As a rule, It Is possible that the manufacturers, and contractors hav? not made any more money on the "coat plus" basis han they would have . nade on the usual basis of bidding for a Job with a liberal Allowance for profit. 'In many cases the percent. ige of profit allowed In .he manufacture of war materials seem to ha-e been unnecessarily high; but nearly everybody made too much money out of war work. The great evil haj Ler n a rather indirect one. Lacking responsibility for the expense- of any -iv-en piece of work, contractors have easily fallen into a habit of paying any prices demanded for material and labor. They have thus encouraged the abnormal rl.e of prices and wages, particularly in the building trades. There has even been a certain Incentive to yield too readily to ujeh demands becaus therewas profit In H- the more the work cost, tje more th contractor would make out of it. This "ndrncy has been only partially met by th occasional practice of paying the contractor a bonus of some sort for keeping down the cost. Unfortunately for the public. this system is Spreading at present instead of dylncr out. It is probably destined to gain In popularity as long as cost elements remain such n gamble. For th neral welfare, however, the sooner it dit.s out. the better.

glans have gone about the work of reconstruction In their country with vigor and Intelligence. A NewYork banker who is ttudylng financial and economic conditions In Europe reported this week from Helglum that the country is rapidly recovering from the dt.-tructlon and disorganization wrought by the war. It may be admitted that Belgium was better situated than some other countries to go to work. Then, that may be disputed and good arguments to the contrary oe presented. The outstanding fact is that th Belgian have not concerned themselves with politics to an extent that has Interfered with their qolng to work J:i mines, fields and factories. They have not yowled for help while wearing them-elf-out In warfare against their neighbor. When the war ended lielglans put away thir swerdü and guns. Others of the victors are fighting among themlve.. That is one reason why famine and pestilence stalk through their lands. Belgium Is giving a demonstration of the value of work both for Its own solvation and for winning respect and triy't f others who are In a position to help the worthy.

FRANCE'S BIRTH PROBLEM. Foor Franc. worried over her decreasing population for the same reasons that would di&turh any other nation In a similar situation, and with th'j fecundity of the Germans as an additional cause for fear. Is resorting to one expedient after another In an effort to stimulate the birth rate. Special taxes have been Imposed not only on bachelors but also spinsters to encourage- marriage; bonuses have been provided for mothers, and now the government has Issued a decree that honors also will be awarded them. The mother of five will receive a bronze medal, the mother of eight, a silver, one, and the mother of 10. a gold medal, which will be called the medal of the French family. One need expect no startling results from these measures. If love of France is not enough of a stimulus to the French -people to produce In generous supply sons and daughters to servo her. taxes, bonuses and medals arc not likely to r rove effective Since the complicated condltir-ns of modern civilization have caused a demand for comforts anil education for ehildren that was not felt when society was in a move primitive tat they have become more of a liability than an as--et. France mibt rely on love of country to save her fronrracc sriicide. 1-et us hope that natrioti.-m will solve her problem satisfactorily.

BELGIUM RISES. Belgium is yetting a flne example to the rest of Europe. The Belgians have gone to work, thus establishing a substantial basis for the credit which the country Is seeking in the money markets. Discount some of the glowing reports sent out from Brussels and Antwerp, If you will, on the ground that they aro to be expected when a borrowing campaign Is on. The fact appears to be that the Bel-

THE STAIR-CLIMBER. In New York the other day a man of 10 years, weighing 20J peunds, ran up the stairs from the suibasernent of the Kqunable builiiirig. to the platform around the Flag pole, 4" storis above, without stopping. He did it in less than nine minutes, and incidentally won $ 4.100, the result of a waizer. Ho suffered no lit effects, was not even winded, and went about his daily work as usual after his spectacular dash for the pole. After his da's work he took a Turkish b.ith to avoid stiffening of his leg muscles, und then went out to a dance. N'ot eery one cares to dash to 47 Mights of stairs, but the physical condition which enabled a middleaged man to perform such a deed almost any one mUht envy. Some one questioned the sprinter as to what methods he took to k-ry himself in condition so that he could do a thing like this without esjitcial preparation, and it developed that he takes 8 or l'i minutes physical exercises, no more, every morning of his life, followed by a cold shower. He does not diet, he does not take lomr hours of athletic training. HU 10 minutes . day does the work. This is the regime advocated by Walter Camp, director of physical training in the naval camps. If more people of all ages would take it up, there would bo fewer short-breathed, panting specimens of humanity slumping into stodgy middle age who might have kept the spring and liveliness of youth.

'Big-Btisiness" is Nczv "Hyphenate" in G. 0. P. Muddle but This One is Not for Johnson

CHICAGO CONVENTION. June 3. Whatever may b? the outcome of the big parley over the League of Nations plank in the republican platform, and whatever may be the outcome of the contest for presidential honors, it Is plain enough today that the g. o. p., is a "house divided against Itself." and cannot stand. Men in the party who have wanted to make of the Icague a mere political football, willing to tolerate one so long as it was not Wilson's league, or to have none rat than have Wilson's merely re .use he helped negotiate it. are frightened now out of their wits lest the "Irreconcilable" antlIeaguers ram the latter alternative down their throa,s,-wlth which they, have awakened to the dancer of their position. These anti-League forces stand mobilized here in Chicago as they were never mobilized before; the forces that Sen. Henry Cabot Idfe and his trace of Wilson haters, sought to mo'.lyroddlo with the Idge reservations. In so doing the socalled "rcservatlonlsts" have Indulged such false-pretenses of "protection to American rights and Interests" for the purpose of holding their grip on pro-League Americans, that the hyphenated subjects of their appeal, the heart of the antlLeai je movement, concerns more In "iJeriuan rights and Interests" ami In "Irish rights and interests", seem to have romo to regard that rro-Air.er!can indulgence as being unnecessarily emphasized. The republican leaders f the mere antl-Wilson league school for any league that Wilson doesn't want and against any league hat he dos want. hardly anticipated a Moses Ilka HI Johnson, for Instance, with an Aaron like Bill Borah as a "rock stnoter" with a magician's wand, to return from their llab lontar.es'-jue trailing of the president on his western trip, with ail the disgruntled, hyphenated, and pro-fore icn forces of the land, mobilized behind them, and regarding themselves as headed for a land of great premise. They are learning now that It doesn't pay to be dishonest In the placing of partisanship al oo p.itriotiftn rind risking th- backfire. and jet there in't a one of them, not a Wo' l. a I.owd n. a Hi" rdir.g. a C-d :! -or - n a H ver. tiiat dares to open their mouths iri exposition of the combination, fvarful lea: II they,

themselves, should be nominated, they will have offended the disgruntled and the hyphenates and their votes will be lost. Johnson's headquarters here are by far the most pretentious of any of the presidential candidates. Wood may have come down to Chicago with a $ 600,000 plurality in primary campaign expenses but Johnson is giving him a merry chase along presidential row. Very doubtful if the parlor floor of the Auditorium hotel is being appropriated to his use without compensation, or if the Auditorium theater is being opened to him and Sen. Borah for a "stampeding" rally, without some kind i f returns. Indeed, yes, the Californlan is showing great strength, but it is much of tin- type- that Coach Kockne of Notre Dame calls "intestinal strength." Ne ver was a plainer attempt made to ride into a nomination on a wave of fiat enthusiasm. Borah speaks from a fire-escape to a picked mob w ith as much chance of getting !ato the convention as Eugene V. Deb:?, imprisoned at Atlanta, has of getting in and the delegates are supposed to mistake the screams of that mob for a popular demand for the Callfornian's nomination. He will not be nominated, but the republican leaders are not giving It out that It is his hyphenated following, nor alone hi? "irreconcilable" opposition to any league of nations that is the reason. They were more concerned in courting the good will of Wall St.. than in resenting the dictation of Berlin cr Dublin. Thus we have in Chicago, snugly secreted behind the walls, not of the Congress or Auditorium hotels where the delegates and public imagine themselfcs useful. but over at the Blacksione, such financial magnates as Elbert H. Gary, head of the Cnited States steel; Herbert Pratt representing Standard Oil; Henry P. Davidson ar.d Thomas W. Lamont of the House of Morgan: F. H. Allen ef 1 e. Higginson & Co.. W. W.

Indeed, there are rumors current, asserted as of authority, that the Proctor half-million was not i 11 his own. but was put up by him as a screen for other sources, it being thought that the public might be less sensitive to soap than to steel, railroads, banking interests, or things of that sort. And quite likewise with poor Lowden, though he spent his own money, and that of hla relatives and personal interests. It Isn't that they object to presidencies being bought or sold. If It brings the right man under their control, but they think it safer to pull It em the election this year, with new timber, rather than try to go on with the old timber serlour'y exposed to the weather of the primaries. The McKinley campaign back in 1S3 makes a distinct appeal to these financial dictators. They still haAe Sen.

It would be a spectacular campaign. 7 Sproul, however. Is and always has been a tool of the money interests. So enthusiastic was the Pennsylvania delegation en route to Chicago, having learned of the approval that had been given their governor by the financial powers, that at Michigan City they became particularly hilarious, whereupon the police led on by federal authorities. mounted the train and took from them 2 1 quarts of pertectly good "rye."

Mariana is a happy eombination! of two of the mest popular names!

in feminine nome nclature. Marv and Anna. It takes its significance from the former and is generally accepted to mean "bitter" rather than "grace." The-, history of its etrigin i" purely religious. The- mother of the Bh-ssed Virgin was oalb-d Anna. though from what tradition is not authentically kneiwn. St. Anne is a patron saint of Prague where- a large festival is hebl In her hener every year. In 15S1. a le roe from Home made a similar feast obligatory in France, where the- saint was supposed to have- made an appe-arance, and out ef this, rose the fashion of combining the names ef the Blessed Virgin and her mother. Thus Anne Marie or Marianne became one of the most popular feminine names on the continent. Mariana re-ceive-d especial vogue and was sometimes contracted ti Manna. In England Shakespeare id responsible for much of th popularity of Mariana, since he twice bestowed the name upon characters in his plays. Mariana was the deserted wife of Angelo in "Measuie for Measure" and the daughter ff Pericles in "Pericles, Prince of Tyrei" was likewise so called. Mariana's talismanio gem is the moonstone, the sacred jewel of Inelia. which is said to bring its wearer the love which she desire:. It also gives her the power to read the future- in matters of sentiment. Monetae is her lucky ilay and one her lucky number. (Copyright. 1920.)
