not mentioned in the suit for injunction
recently filed in the District Supreme
Court against the Royal Life Insurance
Company. The organization with which
the insurance company is said to be
about to merge is the Modern Workmen

OPENING OF NAVIGATION
ON RIVER NOT FAR OFF
Recent Thaw and Northwest Winds
Loosened the Ice in the
Channel.

The weather. now comparatively warm,
is rapidly disintegrating the ice. and the
rivermen believe that with a continual ton
of good weather navigation will be well
opened by the middle Of the coming week.
Yesterday, under the influence of the brisk
northwest wind, the ice in the harbor be-
gan to work loose and drift. and in the
afternoon all the lower part of the har-
Dor was open. The Ice, according to re-
ports, is drifting in the channel from this
city down as far as 1t extended, but has
not yet come off the flats except in places
Navigation to propeller steamers is easy
just now. but should the ice move of the
flats, where it was from a foot to sixteen
inches thick. across the channels much
difficulty: will be had in getting through it
until it is broken up. II it remains on
the flats for a few days longer until it
softens up, when it drifts of 1t will give
the steamers but little trouble to plow
their way through it. Last nights colder
temperature hardened the ice but little
ana the warmer temperature today soon
sOftened it again.
Tugs Start With Tows.
The tugs Dixie and Bohemia of the
Southern. Transportation Company serv-
for several days with q tow of light
barges for bay points. took advantage of
the thaw to start down the river with the
tow. The managers of the Maryland,
Delaware and Virginia line have arranged
to start a boat from Baltimore Saturday
morning that will come through to this
city. unless there Is a very decided change
to colder in the meantime. 1t is also
stated that the Potomac and Chesapeake
Steamboat Company will start a steamer
for river landings early In the coming
week The ice remains stationary in the
Georgetown channel, but it is gradually
thawing, and will, in all probability, start
coming out within a day or two.
The masters of the oyster vessels that
have been frozen up here are planning to
leave as soon as it Il safe for a tugboat
but they will not move for a few days. in
order to give the ice chance to melt and
soften. SO that the vessel Will not be dam
aged in towing through it. 1t is now
thought by the watermen that the Ice
embargo will be lifted, and that naviga-
ton will be resumed before the coming of
another hard freeze.

 If people will follow this, and they then cay the art is lest, I will quit giving instructions. To forty gallone Of good sweet cider made from sound. ripe apples. use three bushels of select apples The cider should be boiled down to One-third or 8 little less be- fors putting in the apples, which should be pared clean, all specks bruises, seeds and seed cavities rernov- cd They may be quartered or cut into eighfhs. If very large. If in hurry sf1e apples can be boiled in a little wHter before putting into the cider. Stirring should commence as soon as the fruit gets soft, and be kept up carefully until done. At all times pre- vent the flames of fire striking the Kettle above the lire of contents
 s&When boiled down to ten gallons it will be done, and 1t will be an arr ffcIe fit for a king. Put in earthen vessels, and when cold, dip clean white paper into good whiskey or brandy, ara lay it over the tops Tn four months from making, If kept in 8 gar inverted on floor or shelf without running out Will keep for years. and if made with the right kind of apples. such as rambo and smokehouse, or be1ldover. will become as smooth as cheese"

kHTHRAClTt COAL
Review of Situation by an Organ of

 The anthracite trade views with sat- asHactson ehe tonnage for October.
 while the increase of some 400, 900 tone in tonnage Is much better than that shown for September. the result is Sunday that sometimes occurs in a month, was this year bransposed from October tas in 1911) to September Az about 200.000 tons the significance Of this circuu1stance will be apparent. We were correct in suggesting in Last tebllsh "a new high record for anEhra- cite shipments and our reference to nearly 6.s5oo00 tons as the volume of Sesn ciose Tor t hs ss sorn s osne shipped having been e.665, GOO tons.
 The nslres chow plainly that every srors sls~ being made by sshe producers ta the country and there is not the EeMBt endeavor 10 create an artificial condition suggestive of increased ahe demand for hard coal. which con- xinues unahated ss our market letters show. the company circular stands fhe entire output Is available at no Increase whatever over the moderate figures of the official schedules. Of in the receipt Of coal in the same pro- portions as it is mined by companies and by independent operators. It would be a Utop1an scheme that would secure so precise a result. Tn our news columns we have alluded to some circrmstances bearing upon this point. and it seems in order to state that while independent tonnage even as the term is stretched at such times as these is s@less than 10 per cent of the total. the amount of premium coal that reaches the trade is at least double tflEs proportion, especially a@ reTards the tonnage of domestic coal.
 numstances (which may be due to variety of causes1 reveal instances of half a dealers supply being bought at an advance over circular, while there Hre also instances where, in this day of choosing customers, some dealers
 find If difficult to get any coal at all. But these are extreme instances to than ia accorded to the proposition that the company circular is what coal costs 4he dealer. AS the season pro- gresses the trade will be more and more criticized because of retail sell- ing price and 1t will be well to- give publicity to a frank statement Of wholesale prices. Obviously a retail CT cannot be expected to s.absorb the 69rerentiaIy when this amounts to s1-5o ton- Though at the present lime the premium is not advancing if Es now being o0tained In places for neriy orr circular price basis and even PhsIadelphia is paying an increased amount for coal This being the case and the a+cIose of lake season idea being worn to frazzie if is plain thai the dea1erE should take steps to jus tify themselves in the public eye. that The price situation may be we'll under stood by one and all.

Beavers Work.

The beavers not only cut down trees
for the purpose of making dams, but
also use the smaller upper branches as
a storage supply Of food for winter use.
These branches, from two to four inch
es in diameter. are cut into lengths Of
two or three feet and then by wonder
full engineering ability are carried be-
meath the water and into the beavers
houses, or the burrows, with which the
bank of every beavers dam is honey
combed Here they are carefully stor-
ed. The green bark is the staple arti-
Gle of food throughout the winter
The dams are Of varying height and
