MEANINGLEss GRIMACEs.

Y 'There Is one thing which never falls

lnues to puzzle me-" remarked a well
known physician to writer for the
Washington Post, "and that Is, why
women who are frequently beautiful

persist in mariing the contour Of their
counenances by facial distortion until
1t assumes outlines Of ugliness.
"The practice OF working the mouth
into all sorts Of meaningless grimaces,
which are particularly noticeable dur
ing the pauses of conversation or when
occupied with deep thought Is ex'
planned by many as Just a habit they
have formed and this seems to awak-

.BITUMINOUS COAL
RATES TO Be ADVANCED
Operators Preparing New Schedule
Trade Association Formed.

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 19.-An advance
in the price OF soft coal Of perhaps 81
a ton will follow the organization OF the
Bituminous Coal Trade Association.
which was completed al the Hotel Wal
ton on Tuesday. Conferences on the
subject are now going on and IL is said
that new scale IL necessary in view
OF the recent increase granted 10 the
miners and the raise in freight rates
Tho purposes OF the Bituminous Coal
Trade Association are set forth in the
following resolution which was adopted
by the conference:
Whereas experience has shown that
the fluctuations OF a speculative mar
ket in bituminOus coal are prejudiciaI TO
the interests Of the consumers and pro-
ducers Of such fuel. and that the evil
results Of such speculation may become
so widespread as TO destroy economical
conditions. and thus seriously affect the
wages and prosperity OF the employees Of
the consumers and producers. and
Whereas such fluctuations have in
the past been caused. by the absence OF
accurate knowledge OF the rate Of pro-
duction and Of the stocks on hand. and
in order 70 prevent such injurious con-
dltions accurate information must be had
so there should at all times be present
in the market an ample supply or coal
for all its requirements. avoiding either
a deficiency. which may be used by
spectators as an excuse to advance
prices. or great excess. which. owing
70 the insuHiciency OF cars and the de
mand OF the railroads for their imme-
date release, must be thrown upon the
market: therefore be it resolved" d" etc.
The association has named an execu-
tive committee. which is at work per-
fecting the organization. n IS made up
as follows. Clearfield region. e J. Ber-

GROSS EARNINGS ARE
THE MATTER At ISSUE
Building Association Objects
TO Assessment.

Arthur y. O'Connor. Assistant Cor
poration Counsel has submitted TO the
District Commissioners an opinion upon
the meaning OF the term gross earn
ings" as applied to permanent building
associations. The particular case IN
der consideration was OF the National
Permanent Building Association sent to
the counsel at the instance OF the As
ssssor
II appears Wharton f. Lester submit
ted TO the Assessor a report of the al
fairs Of the association. naming $l9.-
124.64 as the gross earnings OF the as
ISOLATION This report was rejected. and
the association was assessed for $4,000.
Mr. Wharton took exceptions TO this rul-
ing by the Assessor. and submitted y
earnings" we're the amount first named.
The argument presented by Mr.. Les
ter and discussed by Mr.. OCOnnOr turn
cd chiefly upon the question whether
certain items OF the aggregate income Of
the association should be deducted to
make up the gross earnings" These
items were the amount paid in interest
on loans made to the association by
banks. the amount paid under special
contract on special deposits. and the in
tcrest paid TO members for the use oI
their money.
Mr.. OConnor discusses these matters
one by one. and arrives at the cOnclu-
sion that the distinction is clear be-
tween the case of the member who in
vests his money to be pooled with an in
vestment Of others. and the earnings
thereafter TO be divided. and case OF
a person who deposits specific sum
with the association at specified rate
of interest.
The status OF special deposits. Mr..
O'Counor says. should be determined on
the facts in each case II the facts
show loan made by the association. for
which a certain amount of interest is TO
be paid Mr.. O'Connor holds such inter
est should not be considered as gross
earnings" but IL the deposits be made
and Withdrawn with interest depending
upon the earnings OF the association. he
thinks this interest should be regarded
as gross earnings" and should be 50
assessed.
