AFTER A GUN DUEL

companions showed him into a nearby

back, and about 1 o'clock in the morn
ing encountered Padilla on the road
several miles from town. The officer
dismounted and demanded his surren-
der but the Mexican took refuge in
clump Of trees near the road and
opened fire with a 5000 Winchester
The officer returned the fire, but with

shots were exchanged. when the Mex

his home. He was covered with a
Winchester and surrendered without
further resistance. Padilla was tried in
the justice court on charges of resist

anomalies which seem to govern the
bestowal OF exalted ornamental Jobs
In England, it is not deemed essential
that the. commander of the corps
should even ever have been a soldier
He need know nothing about military
drill and discipline. The two essential
qualifications are that he should be
a peer and of the same political per-
suasion as the party in power. For
all the best paying soft snaps in the
kings household are regarded as part
Of the spoils Of victory at the polls and

as matter of fact. he must approve,
whether he is pleased or not And
when there is a change of government
all the high salaried heads Of depart
ments in the kings household are given
the sack and have to clear out OF
Buckingham palace to make way for
another batch OF peers who are political
adherents OF the new prime minister
But these high salaried appointees
have very little to do with the running
of things at buckingham palace. That
IS done by permanent members Of the
palace staff who have no chance what
ever OF being promoted to the best
paying posts. For the most part, those
who fill the latter are simply required
to put in an appearance on state &C.
casions. don gorgeous raiment. and
look as solemn and imposing as they
know how.
Lord Colebrook was only made
peer in 1906, when a baronv was be-
slowed upon him. But being a Liberal
and the Liberals being in power, his
elevation to the peerage nut him in
the running for a court bil1ete and he
was soon afterwards appointed a lord
in-waiting. a position which he held
until his promotion TO the better pay
ing office which lord Denman vacated
to become the governor general OF the
Australian commonwealth. There are
$4,000 a year each. But only one has

Berlin bankers have been borrowing
great sums from Paris regularly

allow German securities of any sort to

MINES BUREAU
TO BENEFIT
SOUTHWEST
Valuable Information on the
Fuel Question Is Given
Out.
IGNITE WILL BE
THE NEWEST FUEL


Washington. D. c.. July 15.-what
may help the fuel question in the
southwest has been developed by the
recent experiments Of the bureau OF
mines. At the Pittsburg testing station
experiments have been carried on for
a considerable time, and in a bulletin
announcing the result, the successful
making OF briquets from Ignite, some
valuable information on the cheap fuel
question is given.
What Ignite Is.
Ignite is poor form Of coal. brown
in color, containing a great amount of
moisture. running generally between
80 and 40 percent It occurs N vast
deposits in North and South Dakota
and in Texas. but its use has been
greatly restricted by its tendency 20
slack or turn TO dust shortly after il
was mined.
When the experiments started, two
great difficulties were faced. One was
the fact that pitch which III past ef-
forts had been used as a binder. was too
expensive TO allow the industry to
become a commercial success, and the
other was that on account CT the great
amount of moisture contained in the
Ignite, Il could not be used for fuel in
ordinary boilers or in stoves.
Furnace Burns Ignite.
During series of experiments at the
pumping plant of the reclamation SER
vice al Williston, North Dakota. fur
mace was developed that would burn
the Ignite successfully. but there still
remained the problem Of its transpor-
tation. That is. Of briqueting It so it
could be handled and transported
AS this industry has advanced much
farther in Germany than in this coun-
try, the bureau of mines sent to Ger
many and imported to this country one
of the most powerful German briqueting
machines. Experiments were conducted
with this until row it has been demon
strated that the Ignite can be sue
cessfully briqueted at cost that
makes il a commercial possibility.
The approximate cost of briquets Of
Ignite loaded on cars at the mines in
Texas is said to be $2.57 a ton, $3.50 in
North Dakota and 1924 In California
This applies to briqueting run Of mine
ignite to improve its heat value and
weather resisting qualities
1t is believed that briquets Of slack
and waste coal can be made at a cost
lower than the Ignite, when the desir-
ability Of the coal is taken into con-
sidera ton.

Instead of Being Washed
Away, Islands Are In

LORD COLEBROOKE
GETS GOOD BERTH

LONDON, England. July 15.-Fears as
to the ravages Of the sea and the coasts
Of Britain have been aIIayed by the
report of the royal commission on
coast erosion which shows that. instead
Of gradually disappearing beneath the
water, the British Islands are annual
~ increasing in area.
"On the whole" say the the commits
sioners in their report. I'VE think that,
while some localities have suffered Sc
riously from the encroachment of the
sea, from a national point Of view the
extent of erosion need not be consid-
cred alarming"
Actual figures prove that in the past
IS years no less than $4,000 acres have
been added TO the national area, while
during the same period no more than
$40 acres have been washed away.
The places which have suffered most
have been the east coasts of England
and Ireland. but measures have been
adopted which will prevent the loss in
those localities from being so great in
the future.
England's New Stamps.
The blurred and inartistic appear
ance of the new postage stamps issued
on the occasion of the coronation Of
king George has given rise to very
heated discussion Both among the
public and in artistic circles dissaiis-
faction is expressed at the complete
lack Of resemblance in the portrait Of
his majesty printed on the stamps.
1t has been suggested that a fresh is
sue should be designed with a new por-
trait of the king, and the subject is to
be debated IN the house Of commons.
Meantime, the stamps are being with
held from circulation until the stock
