WEST VIRGINIA COAL INDUSTRY.
Half of states Population Said to
Re Dependent on 1t for Support.


Re Dependent on 1t for support.
From the Louisville Courler-JoIrnal.
The head of the department of mines
Of West Virginia estimates that about
| One-half of the population OF that State
is dependent, directly or indirectly, on
the coal industry for support. There are
employed in and around the coal mines
about 75O0O men and boys. These en-
ployes and those dependent upon their
labor, IT is estimated, will aggregate ap-
prOXimately 100000 people. Adding to
these the merchants, teamsters, rail-
road men. and others engaged in hand
ling COAL the department of mines fig
ures that $4,000 persons are depending
on the coal industry for a livelihood The
entire population of the State, according
to the census of 1910, was 1.221,ll9
This estimate, if approximately cor
rect, is remarkable showing. 1t is in
dIsputable, however, that the great prog
ress West Virginia has shown in the
past twenty years is principally due to
the extensive development in coal min !
ing. In the two decades the State ad- |
vanced in population from 1924 in
1890 to nearly a million and a quarter in !
1910 More than half the counties in !
the State produce coal. and West Vir- |
ginia has ranked high as a coal-mining |
State for many years. her output ex- |
ceeding that of any State in the Union |
except Pennsylvania As the develop |
ment is unabated it seems probable that |
the mining industry will at an early date |
be even more important than the agri- |
cultural interests OF the State
West Virginia has been fortunate in |
attracting the attention of capital to her |
great mineral wealth. Kentucky has |
been longer in the coal mining business |
than has our neighboring Common |
wealth, but development has not heen |
so rapid. The possibilities of the coal |
industry in Kentucky may be gauged by |
the Importance which it has attained in |
West Virginia.

Paradise Jimmy"

G
Paradise Jimmy" is dead. Few IN
Washington ever heard of him. When
his funeral occurred from old St.
AIMS Church, in New York, however,
the enormous throng in attendance
blocked traffic in the streets. There were
Congressman, State senators and as
semblynien, judges, prominent men in
all walks of life, and, better than all, a
remarkable attendance of people of the
poorer classes and innumerable children.
For Paradise Jimmy" otherwise
known as James Oliver, had foe years
been the idol of that part of New York
south of Fourteenth street. Many
years ago. when it was decided to abol-
ish the slur1is- known as Five Points, he
insisted that the, property should be
converted into park and playground
for the children. 1t was ANEW idea in
those days to sacrifice remunerative
real estate to the sentimental and ideal
purpose of giving children a recreation
ground, and the suggestion met with op-
position. But Mr.. Oliver persisted, and
finally carried his point So, in course
of time, Paradise Park was established
and it stands to-day a monument to
the man around whose bier thousands
gathered and wept with sincere sorrow.
Paradise Jimmy" is noble name
Carnegie MAJ found libraries and
Rockefeller may endow institutes for
research, but Jimmy Oliver led them all
in his pioneer work for the children of
the poor. His example is all inspiration.

Subjects of Conversation.
Dear Margerv doom:

Dear Margery Doom:
Will o please suggest a few topics
of conversation when one is Invited out
to spend the evening, and also tell me
If there are any special subjects that
should be avoided. BY so doing you
will greatly help
ONE WHO is DIFFIDENT.
One of the first things that is es-
sential in talking is a gracious desire
to please those who are entertaining
Do not breach a subject unless
1t is one you know something about,
and be considerable of the opinion of
others, eve if they do not agree with
your own. Topics of interest are new
books, new plays, international events
and men and ONE before the public.
Things to be avoided are, first of all,
gossip or scandal. Do not talk about
yourself or your work or air your pet
hobby. A description of an accident
or an illness are subjects to be avoided.
1t is wiser not to talk on politics or re-
ligion, as these too often lead to a dis
cussion.

information Desired.

Dear Margery Doom:
AS 1 am a frequent reader of your
paper, / would feel very much obliged
IL you would answer in tonight's paper
whether New York or London has the
greatest population.
| would also like to know II there is
a way to go to Lake Hopatcong from
Newark by trolley, and by what route,
and also please answer II Boonton is a
city vet or not.
Please state what is the best route
for a person to walk from Newark to
Russell street, Greenpoint, Brooklyn,
n ob1ige yours, ]. S.
London is the largest city in the
world, therefore, the population of Lon
don is greater than that Of New York.
Boonton is not a city.
There is no way of reaching Hopat-
cong from here by trolley.
Routes of this kind cannot be pub
lished in this column. owing to the nu-
n1erous requests received. Over the
Plank Road from here to Jersey City
and then over the ferry to New York.
When you get to New York buy a mar
of the city of Brooklyn. and you viii
have no difficulty in finding the most
direct route to reach our destination.

Dear Miss Doom:
VIII you kindly tell me in the Eve
ming STAR how to make orange extrac,

liquid is to be poured over it.
PRUDENCE.
Here is a recipe for orange syrup,
which is very nice. 1t is made as fol-
lows: Boil the juice of a dozen oranges
until clear. with one pound of white
sugar to each pint. A pint Of water
should be added to the pulps and this
strained with the juice Of the oranges
Boil ten minutes, stirring all the time.
If you want to try your recipe with the
orange rind the liquid 10 be used is
alcohol, but. of course. do not attempt
to cook the mixture.

SHOULD SHUN BIG HATS.


Women who are inclined to be round
shouldered must beware of the big hat.
An authority on physical culture
sounds the alarm, and says that the
fashionable cartwheel is sending him
an astonishingly large number of round
shouldered patients. Such a pastime,
he says. is most dangerous to health
and full of menace for posterity, but
such considerations are not likely to
have much weight with the fair sex.
1t is more to the point to remind them
that round shoulders are to the last
degree awkward and ungraceful, and
that they completely nullify all the
efforts of dressmakers and milliners.
The big hat, however becoming, can
scarcely be thought worth such a
sacrifice.
