: WHAT THEY ARE ]
TALKING ABOUT. ]

The need of additional c%oaling sta
tons a a striking illustration in the
single statement in the annual report OF
Rear Admiral r. b. Bradford, chief OF
the equipment bureau of the navy, that
he spent 81, 273.111 last fiscal year for
324, los tons Of coal at an average cost OF
SOL per tor. The report say that this
was nearly 96.713 more tons of coal
than was used during the preceding fig
cal year. Ten years ago the coal con-
sumption was 10000 tons a year. The
domestic coal costs $500 a ton and the
foreign coal, Of which there were used
los, 066 tons, costs $3.50 a ton.
Admiral Bradford has scattered
American coal all over the world wher-
yer suitable storage could be found.
He has placed 1000 tons at Yokohama
and 5000 tons at Picholinque. Mexico,
and he has sent large quantities to
Guam and to the Philippines. He car
ried 5000 tons by water from the At
lantic coast to Mare Island, Cal, where
1t came into competition with Cardiff
coal. They have averaged the same in
cost. namely 1929 a ton, but at present.
owing to the scarcity of American
4tSASHt CccSios lhC SOGI -
considerably cheaper at Mare Island.
It is recommended that two large steam
Golfers be built to keep depots supplied
in time of peace and to 1company the
fleets In time of war.
The report says that the subject of
wireless biography was followed care
fully during the year, but 1t does not
appear advisable to adopt any particu-
lar system at present, or to acquire n
more apparatus than necessary for pur-
pose of instruction. It is clear that no
system as yet ia passed beyond the
experimental stage. Tho most Of the
principal naval powers have adopted
some form of wireless telegraphy for
their ships, 1t is believed. from he re-
ports received, that none is satisfactory.
1t was clearly shown during the inter-
national yacht races that the difficulty
of interference" could not be overcome
with the apparatus then used.

that she knows of no J. A. Wheeler who

Iowa City.
Republican,: Figuratively speaking,
the Yaryan Construction Company OF
Chicago is preparing to visit Iowa City
and lay before us a proposition Tor a
hot water heating system" for this
city. If there is any one modern conve-
nience that this city needs more thar
another, it is a better heating system.
and we want the one that covers the
best combination by way Of economy
and cleanliness and of a suffi-
Glen seat.
Council Bluffs.
A strong movement has been inaugu-
rated by the Grand Army post OF this
city in favor of John Lindt for COM
mander of the Iowa department. Mr..
Lindt has long been prominent IN
Grand Army circles in Iowa and his rec
ord as a soldier is without fault. He is
a charter member of Abe Lincoln post,
having served 1t many times as COM
mander; he is an active worker and has
been a regular attendant at the state
and national encampments. 1t is UNI
derstood that, thus far, he has had no
competition in the race, and 1t is posi-
Bile that 1t will go to him by acclama-
ton as the election did to George Metz
gar of Davenport this year.
Fort Dodge.
The Messenger says smallpox seems
to be gaining a firm hold in Fort Dodge.
Two more cases have been reported TO
the city authorities, both at homes
where other members of the family have
previously beer quarantined with the
disease. Harry BolIson, the father OF
the little girl who caused a sensation IN
the Christmas eve celebration OF the
Riverside nj. E. church by appearing
there broken out with the disease, has
been taken down with the smallpox, and
II. w. Oleson, the stepfather OF little
Werner Spencer, who has also been a
smallpox patient for some time and was
almost ready to be released from quar-
antine, has also been taken down.

new Years In China.

In China 1t is considered obligatory
on all persons to settle every pecuniary
obligation before the first day Of the
new year, a custom that might with
profit be initiated elsewhere. The Chi
nese have also the singular practice Of
dating all births on the first day OF the
year on which they occur, SO that US
fur as the record shows every China
man has but one birthday, the first day
Of January. The widest variance is OBJ
servable in the selection Of the day
which should be considered the first of
the year. Some nations have begun 1t
In the spring, Others in the autumn,
some in midsummer. most in midwin-
ter; but, whatever the day, the usages
and rejoicings which characterized it
have not varied SO greatly as might be
supposed, but have remained for ages
almost unchanged.

Cedar Rapids, Jan. EDNA Mercer
the 2~4-year-old daughter of a prosper
GUS merchant of Chelsea, Ia. Is a
wiser maiden than she was forty-eight
hours ago. A whole world of expert
ence is sometimes crowded into the
short period of a few hours. AS a pa
trolman was passing the alley etween
First and Second streets, at the en-
trance OF Third avenue, he saw a man
and woman, the latter appearing TO be
intoxicated, or suffering from the erect
of dope. They were arrested and taken
to the police station, where the story
of the girls life was unraveled n
Mike s.. Fish's connection with 1T was
ascertained in full yesterday, when
Fish was araigned on the charge OF dis
turbing the peace and acquitted be-
cause the evidence was insufficient TO
Convict.
Miss Mercer was infatuated with
one Fred Nye, a willie" actor who
travels about the country with medi-
cine shows and whose specially ap-
pears to be the ensnarement of suscep-
ltible and indiscreat maidens. Among
those so unfortunate as to encounter
him was Edna. She has known him for
several years. They were engaged to
be married. Nye frequently touched
her for a temporary loan. He has
borrowed SIS and SO of her on several
occasions. Edna came to Cedar Rapids
on Christmas to see her affianced. He
borrowed $40 Of her then n also her
gold watch, but the latter he subse-.
auently returned. Edna again visited
Cedar Rapids Monday and stopped at
Sleight's restaurant at Third avenue
and Fourth street. Fish, who is a bar.
Der in First street, had beer intro
duced to Miss Mercer by Nye, the lat
ter being a cousin of Fish's wife. Ac-
cording to sFish's tale he was driving
past the restaurant In a livery convey
ance when he saw Edna standing in
the door and invited her to take a ride,
which invitation she accepted to her
great orrow
Edna MERGERS father reached the
city yesterday and returned home with
his daughter a night. He said
she had a good home and that he was
well situated. He had understood that
Nye was unmarried and hat ne was
engaged t. his daughter. Edna has
brown hair, blue eyes and wears
glasses. She wore a red ribbon in her
hair and was attired in q Scotch shirt
waist and black silk dress. The fam
lily is sswelI-to-do financially. Her
loves young dream has been rudelydis-
turbed, but ftais fortunate for her thar
lit has come SO quickly.

Teachers Association.
"A runaway yesterday caused some
little excitement near the park. No
damage of moment was done.
The week has started out with a brisk
pace in social circles. The recital given
by Miss Katherine Bray and Mr.. E. b.
Brande, assisted by Mr.. David Living
stone of Chicago, at the H. M. Bray
home, was a most delightful affair. The
improvement shown by Miss Bray after
her work under Mons. Escalois is a de-
alightful surprise to her scores of Grin
nell friends. Mr.. Brande was at his
best, and received his usual enthusiastic
welcome. MI. Livingstone at the piano
proved an admirable accompanist and a
talented soloist. After the program re-

floral decorations.
The at home given by Mr.. and Mrs.
|C. A. H. Boyer last evening was an
equally brilliant social event. The beau
tiful High street home a thronged
with guests during the hours from 9 to
II. Numerous beautiful gowns were
worn and Grinnell society was at It's
best. The dining room was presided over
by Miss Edith Boyer and dainty re-
freshments were served at prettily dec
grated tables. A larger number of invi-
~tations by half were issued for this
event than for any like event for sew
eral seasons.
The citizens OF Grinnell are taking a
great deal of interest in the sacrifice

They know that when this firm adver-

and many are planning to secure bar

CLARA r ANGRY.

the role of q lecturer, has the
ire of that little Yesterday
at her pretty home, 5S7 Riverdale aven-
ue, she said: Il was surprised when
I read the articles in the morning pa
pers today. / am at u loss to under
stand how such manifest absurdities
as those printed statements could have
originated.
The facts are these: About a month
ago 1 was conducting q lecture tour in
Ohio and in some of the east-central
states. My manager, Mr.. Broadhurst,
arranged for me to speak before this
woman's club at Milwaukee. l con-
scented, and all the details of the matter
were perfected, when a minister, who
was a member of the committee on
lectures and who had been for some
time absent from the city. returned.
Hearing that an actress had been Sc
cured to speak before the club. he I'M
mediately assumed the prerogative of a
dictator and said no such person should
be permitted to address any organ
ization which he ornamented with his
membership. Being a minister of the
gospel. his views carried great weight
with the other members, and thus it
was that my engagement came to be
cancelled"
Miss Morris vas asked If she did not
think that perhaps other influences
than those of the clergyman might have
been at work.
Possibly, but I doubt it." h re-
piled. AT any rate. I a given you
the explanation just as I received it
myself. 1t ices not strike me as being
strange that the minister could infiu-=
ence the other members of the commit
tee to look at the matter from his view
point. No. I do not know his name

That time Mr.. Shaw, tho he had Iona
