Remarkable Young Woman
Who's Carson College Dean
MISS ELSA UELAND, hend of
$4,000,000 school to bo founded
at Flourtown for orphan girls, is:
Twenty-eight years old.
A practical idealist.
A University of Minnesota
grndunto.
A Gary school educator.
A bolievcr in women.

ments should be permitted to select their
own asatstnnts. The woman fanner perhaps
will require nbout eight. I want to make
certain, however, that the people are the
right sort of people for the children to bo
with Just ns I would If they wero my own
children."
This Is a phraso that Miss Ueland Injects
Into tho conversation with recurring fre
quency "Just ns If they were my own chil
dren." Tho Carson College children are
going to get such a mothering as their little
orphan minds had not conceived possible.!
The new dean Is good to look upon. She
radiates health, vivacity and earnestness.
She has f xlrllshness of manner that belles
tho mellowness of her views. You feel
that the heart and the mind In her have
achieved a nice balance that Is seldom
given to women.
A graduate of tho University of Minne
sota, where, she Ibid mo. the girls work
shoulder to shoulder with the boys, she
believes enthusiastically In co-education.
It Is unwise. In her opinion, to segregate
children until they are eighteen or nlneten
nnd then tbrow them togcthor.
"But that Is Just what Carson College
will do," I reminded her.
GOOD TIME COMINO KOIt POTS
"It will not," she replied emphatically.
"It Is true that according to the provision
wo can take only girls nnd that they
must bo at tho tlmo of entrance between
six and ten years of nge nnd that we keep
them only until they are eighteen, but I
shall Invito boys In. I shall havo parties
nnd games nnd dances. I want the col
lege at I-'lourtown to be a definite factor
In the community life. I want my girls to
know their neighbors.
Miss Ueland Is an economist. A dollar
must do a full dollar'M worth and more If
possible. If the community nt Flourtown
can prollt from Investments made for Car
son Collego It shall, she told me. For
Instance:
"If we have a library I see no reason
why tho neighborhood should not use It.
It Is an economic waste' to be selfish about
theso things. Also, about 200 ynrds from
our grounds there Is the Flourtown school.
Surely It would be a silly thing to put up
another school so close. That Is sheer
waste. Co-operation Is, of course, the
answer, but all the plans are so tentative
ns yet. letter I shall have plans about
following up the girls after they are eigh
teen nnd must leave, financing them at a
higher college. In a year you will get a
better story."
In tho meantime Mins Ueland'a ambition
Is limitless. She told me so herself. Hear
ing her talk It Is Impossible to doubt that
It vrlll be only a short time before educators
will turn their eyes to Carson College. From
a pedagogical point of view, things are
going to happen out there. From the
human standpoint orphans will doubtless be
happier than orphans have ever been before.

TODAY'S FASHION I
From Head to To fn the Realm of
Dress
THAT sweeping from-head-to-toe glance
fwilch the passerby give stamps you as
"smart" or "dowdy" If your headgear nnd
footgear are beyond criticism, the first ns
well ns the last Impression of your costume
Is good. Therefore, to be considered well
dressed you must wear hats, veils nnd shoes
that are fashionable.
There Is a marked preference for the
flowing veil. It Is to be had In all widths
and patterns, and Is most successfully worn
over the chlo little turbans now In vogue,
Tho charm of the high-crowned turtmn
of black velvet draped with a veil dotted
with squares of velvet Is Irresistible. A
shirred band of velvet edges the brim and
the crown, and a pompon of skunk orna
ments the very top. Hanging gracefully
from the narrow brim Is a wldo veil of
black net dotted with rows of velvet squares
In graduated slies.
Then thero Is the "vanity" veil that hnrcly
covers the eyes nnd nose. We find It worn
with n "flower pot" turban of midnight blue
velvet trlmmid with a large cartwheel of
the same material. The veil Is of black net
with a narrow worsted embroidered border.
For practical, everyday wear there Is
nothing smarter than the lowheeled boot

"ODAY, with the cost of living higher than
most of us have ever known it, the policy of a concern
of Armour's importance in the food world becomes a matter of national
interest And rightly so. It is expedient, therefore, that to judge with true
American fairness, people should know the facts about what Armour is doing for them.
Too often, heretofore, has judgment been passed on a basis of only half-truths.
To a true knowledge of the situation, it in neces
isary to first realize that Armour is not a producer of
.'' raw materials. Armour's sole interest in such pro
duction is to help the farmer make ii greater.
The real work of Armour is to scientifically pre
pare and efficiently market tho national yield.
Rightly done, the result spells true economy to
every American family.
i
On even the most superficial consideration, it be
comes obvious that the cost to Armour of doing
th s work mu3t be practically without change.
And his is so. True, certain factors, such 83 reduced
pr d'i Hon, higher labor costs, etc., do affect these
pre i-ation and marketing charges somewhat, but
nevr in proportion to the fluctuating market prices
caused by varying production.
How small is the profit that Armour receives for
performing this valuable necessary work may be real
ized when you consider that the amount retained
by this organization ia apprdximately but
three cents on every dollar a worth of business
done during the year!
And this profit has not increased with the
increased price of foods!
The actual fact of the matter is that, since
Armour in no way produces or controls production of
raw materials, Armour cannot influence prices.
Prices are the direct result of the inexorable
Law of Supply and Demand.
This Is not a statement of theory, It is a FACT.
Today's beef prices prove it.
Armour's selling prices on dressed beef calrcassea
are, today, LESS than they were two years ago. For
our fiscal year 1913-14, Armour's average selling
price of beef per hundredweight was $11.98; for
our fiscal year 1915-16. it h but $11.80. The
reason is that beef production during this period
has kept pace with demand.
And here it is highly significant to note that, for
many years, the prices paid by Armour to the proi
ducer ror every hind or meat havo borne a continu
ously even relation to the prices charged by Armour
for the meat after it has been prepared. The ratio
between tho two figures has hardly varied
When the farmers' cost of producing meat has
gone down, Armour's prices likewise have dropped.
And never, unless farmers' prices haverincreased
have Armour's prices gone up.
Yet, even when production 'costs advance,
Armour's prices do not always advance in propor
tion. Right at the present time, Armour is paying
ofer 27 more for hog? than in 1914. But Armour's
selling price for pork ains (a barometer on other cuts
of pork), shows an advance oX.lees than '10.
Such instances, of course," ore due to scientific
utilization of by-product" mother m ns by which
Armour helps keep food prices at true-valus
levels for you.
