production can not be considered as ditions. The anthracite industry in 1911 was probably as firm as any other in the country. A part of the increase in production is probably due to the stocking of fuel in anticipa . tion of April l, 1912, when the wage agreements terminate but the mar ket has been absorbing an unusually large tonnage and the increase in pro duction has not been chiefly artificial.
 On the whole the bituminous trade has been demoralized and discourag- ing and much of the business was conducted at loss. The principal cause for this, particularly in the eastern states, has been the depres- sion in the iron trade which was more seriously reflected in the coking coal regions. From correspondence with many of the principal coal-mining and cCke- making companies MT. Parker es- inmates that the production of coke in 1911 will show decrease of 70 to 30 per cent. compared with 1910 About A per cent of the coal used in the manufacture of coke is slack,
 ae the fine coal produced in the min ing operations is called. It is not desirable fuel for other purposes and the shutting down of hundreds oc coke ovens has added the burden of disposinG of this product to the other troubles of the bituminous oper- ators The demands of the railroads ..r f.s fro were scarcely up to normal, and bitu- minous coal was a drug on the mar ket. A coal mine cannot, like a factory, be shut down and allowed tu remain idle without expense. Ventila- ton. pumping. and repairs must be kept up. and 1t may be cheaper in the end to mine and sell coal at a loss than to shut down the mine.
 X generally expressed opinion among those interested in bituminous coal mining is that legislation must be sc- cured which will enable the produc- CTS to effect a better control Of the industry, under that life and property may be adequately safeguarded. an impossibility when operations are coa- duCted at q loss or with a too narrow margin of profit. Such control seems essential. too. if real conservation maximum recovery with minimum WaSte-is to be accoplished.
 The total production of btuinous coal in 1911 was probably from to z per cent less than in 1910. A de- crease of per cent does not seem relatively important. but when it is considered that 5 per cent of the pro duction means 25.000. .000 tons in quan- tity. more than quarter Of ton for each inhabitant. it assumes more significance II is equivalent to the total production of Belgium. the sixth coal-producing country of the world. and practically double the output of our northern neighbor, Canada. With a decrease of to , Der cent in the bituminous production. the output for the year would be between 395. 5.OOO, 900 and i05.OO0.00O short tons When to

 ments during December at 6,25O,000
 tons. the total for the year was 70.- tl0O.000 long tons. This exceeded the .previous high record of 1907 by ap- . O0O.0O0 tons. The local trade in 1911 amounted to about -. .0O0.000 long toms. and the colliery consumption amounted to about
 S.00e.00 tons. so that the total pro- .iuction was very close to SQ,1O0.000 long tons or about 4.700.000 tons over the output of 1910. But for. num-
 bar of years the use of anthracite has been with the exception of the small sizes used for steam raising in honeS. apartments, and office build ings, confined to purely domestic pur- poses ana increases or decreases in its

HERE IS THE
Plenty Of Output b ut Low Prices Have S Been the Rule for Past Year.

Although the production of coal in inc United States for 1911 was prob ably second only to that of the record year 1910, when the half billion ton mark was passed, there nave neverthe- less been few more unsatisfactory years in the history of the coal-mining industry. in the opinion of Edward w. Parker, coal statistiCian of the United States geological survey. For tine most part the wear was one of overproduc
 lion and of q struggle for trade which depressed pi ices to such an extent that when the total returns for the year are footed u,p the balance will probably be on the Ivrong side of the ledger. There were. Aof course. exceptions, and notable aInoI them was the record

hctewen the periods of servitude in Arizona. Taking the figures recently prepared in this office as a basis of computation, I am certain that each ONE of these three men has cost Arizona not less than s4,0O0. whereas the expense under the indeterminatc term and parole system should not have been more than $1,OOO-a saving to the taxpayers of $3,O00 in each case. How would this have been done? Had each man been sentenced to an indeterminate term, they would have probably earned their parole in d minimum of time. had gone out into the world under the supervision If the parole department and would have had to earn their privilege tO continue at liberty by a course of life that would have been mapped out to made either good citizens at the say ing of their subsequent convictions. or else have made submissive conviCts at much lowered cost to the tax laying bodies. If the saving in each of these cases is represented by $3.0OO in figures, how much more would have been saved society by their restoration to the place Nature designed them to hold in the world?
 California claims to have the best percentage of success with her parole work. which. with liberal legislation. competent officers. and an ample field of employment. she might well Go-yct-despite the handicap of in- sufficient legislation, no appropria- ton for field work, lack or suitable employment for deserving men.

THE CONVICT In Prison and Out
By FRANK E. McCRARY.

Some people have an idea that the principle of the parole work is founded on the mere sentiment of giving the errinS one another chance
 when. as q matter of fact, fl is founded on nothing less than DOL LARS and CENTS. While il may be true to say that in extending q parole to convict society is of fcring degree of forgiveness. still the fundamental idea back of the parole work, and it's complement, the indetcrminate sentence, is saving to the taxpayers ana the making of good citizens out of what might be considered negligible. if not worth
 less. citizens Thar men. released from prison. do make good" in the highest possible sense is best cNhib- itcd by figurcs-cold matter of fact statements. In California, out of oyer some HOO men paroled. only SEVEN PER CENT have committed new crimes When one takes the statis- ties of the various prisons NOT hay ing the parole work properly cstab- lishcd and asccrtains that almost THIRTY ONE per cent are repeat CTS that is, have been convicted previously. one or more times, the remarkable fact is proven that the PAROLE has made good citizens out of TWO-TIIIRDS of those who would otherwise have been BAD citizens. IT it be admitted that the cost to tho taX-Dayers of Arizona. of every con Niction. including trial. jail ana rris- on maintenance. transportation and fees. etc. is about S50O.O0 for every convict, then the value of the parole work is fully demonstrated

WAS MADE FOOTBALL SAINT
HnaIIshman, In 1920, Becomes q Mar
tyr for the Strenuous 0ridIron
Game.

Footballers may be interested in
the following piece Of folklore about
the game. Although it is not gener-
ally known, football has a patron
saint. In 1920 boy named Hugh,
who was one of the champions of his
day, had the misfortune to kick
ball through the window Of Jews
house. Whether the ball struck the
man or any member of his family is
not known. but certain 1t is he was
very much incensed about the affair.
Determined on revenge. he enticed
the unsuspecting Hugh into his home
and plunged a knife in the youths
back The English people were very
much cut up about the loss Of their
champion, albeit not as much SO as
was Hugh. They severely punished
his slayer. made the young football
player a saint and gave him big and
expensive funeral They even wrote
verses. bad verses but still verses. de-
scribing the virtues of sweet Sir
Hugh" and his prowess as a football
player.
Football was forbidden in Eliza
beth's reign under pain Of imprison-
ment. the reason being the extreme
brutality OF the game. We are told.
And James l. debarred "all rough and
violent exercises like football" from
his court In spite. however. Of the
prohibition against the game. the Lon
don apprentices often kicked foot
ball about the streets to keep them
selves, warm in winter. and 1t is on
record that in the severe frost OF
1866 the London streets were full Of
footballs. "-Ttt-B
