Ave per cent greater than and the an
thracite exports more than double
those in March, 1911. This increase
in the bltum!nous coal exports has
heen mainly in the shipments to
South America Aad Atlantic
countries and to the West Indies
other than Cuba. The increase in
the anthracite coal exports has been
mainly in the shipments to Canada
which in March, 1912, were more
than double the exports in March,
1911. The imports OF coal during the
irst three months OF 1912, 364,OG4
long tons, show falling off when
compared with those of the same
period in 1911, namely. 426,259 long
tons. The bulk of the coal Imports
came from Canada. namely, S16,759
long tons, or eSghty-seven per cent o.
the total coal imports during the
first three months of 1912.
1t win be observed from the above
that the coal trade of the United
States DIS practically all domestic
and that the coal which is exported
or imported may be regarded as
mainly neighborhood trade, that Is,
commerce with CONTIGUOUS foreign
countries. The increase in exports
during March. 1912, may be attribu-
ted in part to the labor disturbances
in the coal mining industry of some
CT the European countries.

Opie Read, author, lecturer and news
paper writer, beloved Of bOyhOOd mem
DRY to many, and a favOrite of countless
American hearthsides, lectured to FL
Pasoans Wednesday night. He appeared
under the auspices of the WOman's club
and for more than an hour this typical
American writer, whose stories of ad-
venture are as exciting as his pictures
Of lite are Characteristic and true, en-
tertained his audience with wit. philOsO-
ply pathos and truth Mr.. Read ap-
peared as the fourth in the series of five
entertainers the Woman's club has
brought to FL Paso this year, and his
lecture was considered a real treat.
While he might not be called a gifted
orator. his flow of language is good and
he has the happy ability Of being able
70 make his audience see a point with
out apparent effort. He also has the
gift of turning a pathetic story Just be-
fore it reaches the handkerchief stage,
so that it is drowned in a ripple of
laughter; he never gets so serious that
he appears tiresome, yet he gives his
hearers many truths to think over, and
does not keep them titteTing all the time
at nonsense.
He drives home a truth often with
Jest and scores many a good point with
an epigram that brings a laugh
In bis lecture he represents himself
as a plain. country reared American re-
lstlng his experiences in life to his fel-
lows and neighbOrs; it gives him a wide
scope and he breaches a splendid ser
mon merely in picturing the things met
with every day-and scores all his
laughs IN the same manner.
