American Manufacturers. 1 Speaking recently before the Terrapin Club of Philadelphia, Eugene G. e Grace, President of the Bethlehem k 8teel Company, said in part: Ib a peculiar sense Bethlehem Steel g serves the American people. I- For example, though we have been >> able to obtain In Europe almost any price, we have adhered, in our charges to the United States Government, to the basis ef prices established before the war began. We aareed?If the Government would g abandon its plans for a Federal plant? e to make armor for our Nary at any t- price the Government ittelf might conaider fair. y Our ordnance plants are at tba dlsposal of the nation at a fair operating coat, plua a small margin, thus saving the Governmeat; Investment and 4e,f preciatioa. o !. One of the special needs of the new e navy Is slxteen-lnch guns?guns sixty r: feet long and capable of hurtling a ' 2000 pound shell with such power and accuracy as to hit a 50 foot square target fifteen miles away. xn/lAW^nlrnM WAltmtaPilv fn n c IIa V C UUUCI uincu T Viuiuu* 4.J construct, at a cost of $4,500,000, a plant fitted to build slxteen-lnch guns. Under no conceivable circumstances can orders which we may receive for this plant pay even a fair return on the investment Considerable comment has been made upon the fact that a British manufacturer recently bid less than American manufacturers for sixteen and fourteen-inch shells for the navy. I am unable to state the basis upon which the English bid was made. It ( should be remembered, however, that this bid was for a specific shell, sam plea of which are being sent over for test?a test not yet made. Two years ago we took an order for 2400 fourteen-lnch armor-piercing shells r at a contract price of $768,000, to be delivered within a certain time or we had to pay a large penalty. 1 The only specifications for making e these sheila are that they shall be of a certain size and must pierce j armor-plate at a certain velocity on 1m x pact. It is Impossible to foretell the e exact conditions of the tests, rt We had made large quantities of shell? - in the past which had been accepted. * But In placing this particular order the J? Department altered the angle at which the tested shells must pierce armore plate. The result, however, has been r absolute Inability on our part to produce in any quantity, shells which will meet these novel tests. In fact, we . know of no process of projectile-making through which it is possible to produce in quantities shells which will conform to the requirements. The result Is that up to now on that i contract or JTUS.UW, we iJH?e pm miu actual operating expense $447.881.. and g hare been penalized for non-delivery $495,744., a total of $943,025., with no receipts whatever. Such was the experience In the light n of which we were called upon recentn ly to bid for slxteen-lnch shells, n We bid on these shells at approxid mately the same rate per pound as r that of a fourteen-inch shell contract ^ of one year ago upon which the Government awarded contracts. i i- We have not the slightest idea what o profit there will be in the making of i. these shells. We do not know that r there will be any. There is no certain'? ty that it would be possible for us to r Jeliver a shell to meet the test ? For officers In the Navy to assume that any bid made under such condie :ions Is "exorbitant" is utterly unfair. We bid on the new battle-cruisere (iums which Nary department experts, after examination of our books, found n-rmi/j v<aM nroflt of le6s than ten per cent. We agreed to assume risks for Increased costs of materials and labor, that made It possible that these contracts might yield no profit whatever. The costs run beyond the amount appropriated by Congress on the basis of the cost estimates marie a year ago. And because shipbuilders could not alter the Inexorable cost facts and reduce bids to early estimates of the Xavy Department, the prices are called "exorbitant." It would be a real advantage to be - relieved or this na vai conscrucuon. xoe profit from It cannot possibly amount to much, and the responsibility is enorh mous. t We bare determined to make this e offer to the American Government r "It you will build two of the battle cruisers In Government nary yards. , we will build the other two at the as ? certalned cost of building the ships In the Government yards, without addl d tlonal expense or commissions of any j kind. We will also contract to have r Mr ships ready for service ahead of Government nhlpa." C MONEY TALKS. tut Only a Few of Ua Really Car* to Listen to Its Arguments. How would you like a $25,000 a year job ? I suppose you think yoa would like it a lot. *But would you like it? Would you enjoy the work you would have to do in order to earn that much salary? Would you be willing to pay what it costs to become a $25,000 a year man ? This brings us to an interesting fact about the human animal? namely, his way of pretending 6ometime8 ro amDiuons wmcn ne does not possess. Ask almost any man in the United States today whether he would like & job paying $25,000 a year and he will tell you yes?vehemently and with evident aUeerity. But in ninety-nine case* out of a hundred he would not really mean it. He would like the money, yes, but to earn it by giving a corporation the price which it asks in return for that much money would not suit him at all. In spite of the apparent lure of money the great mass of human be ings are not lured by it so much a* they are lured by other things. They think they are, but they aren't. Men get their orders from within themselves, not from without. And often the inward desires which control men are so powerful that thqy make the "almighty dollar" loot mighty weak. Frequently laziness is in command, in which case a rocking chair seems more valuable than the presidency of a railroad. Sometimes whisky is the boss. In millions of other eases men deliberately choose jobs which do not pay well in money, although they pay enormously in otiier forma of satisfaction. Men are constantly deciding against the scramble for money and in favor of a quiet life, or a life devoted to teaching or science or public service, or a life devoted to some other useful enthusiasm which has no special cash value. The truth is that most men have no taste for the duties that go with the biggest salaries. The man who is worth $25,000 a year to a corporation must be willing to work evenings and holidays. He must be ready to upset all personal plans if Viiicinnca r-alla Vlim must be UUOIUVOO VUtiw ?4iu?. M># _ ready at a moment's notice to give up Sunday with his family and 6pend it in a railway trip to another city for a Monday morning conference. In his office he must also bear the brunt. He must be eager to take responsibility and be ready to make hard and unpleasant decisions. He must have real zest for thought problems, and he cannot hide behind others.

Little Dee, a good little boy nix years old, has a pet chicken and also a little garden. The pet chickI en got into his garden and scratched up some of the vegetables. Dee called it a forbidden name which he had learned from another little boy. Punished, Dee promised he would not use that word any more. The next day Dee was heard talking to his chicken. He had the chicken in his hands squeezing it, and he was saying, "You are the 6ame old thing you was the other dav, but thev won't let me sav it."? Viirjsilrlll iiuiaiu. Origin of Blackguard. Scullions and lower servants of | the English court, who were clothed in sable garments, were originally called blackguards. Gibbon informs us that "those who carried coals to the kitchen or rode with the pots [ and pans were in derision called the blackguards." A proclamation issued in England in 1G83 officially recognized the title bv applying it to "a sort of vicious, idle and masterless boys and rogues, commonly called the blackguard, with divers other loose fellows."
