Der COOL.

Next years automobile plates. which
will begin arriving at the Office of w.
s. Allen. secretary of state, this week,

WATER POWER AFFECTS
THE PRICE OF COAL
Slack or Screenings Goes Down In st.
Louis az Result OF influence
From Water Power.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. Goal OF the
grade known as slack" or screen
ing" is being sold in the st. Louis in
dustrial district at 10 and Is cents a
ton. Dealers yesterday complained
that even at such prices the con-
sumption OF slack is not keeping UP
with the production. They did not
believe, however, that any lower
prices would be made. At this rate a
forty-ton car would cost from 81 to
So.
The introduction into St. Louis in.
dustry Of power generated at the
Keokuk dam has had an important
effect in tending to depress values
| of all grades Of. soft coal mined in
| the nearby Illinois coal fields, say the
dealers A year ago slack coal was
25 cents ton.
The present low prices for slack
are due in part to the seasonable
change, which occurs every year in
the fall and early winter. During the
months OF August, September, Octob
er and November the enormous de
mand for lump coal for domestic and
other uses carses the mines to work
to their fullest capacity. Between q
and 40 per cent of the coal brought
out is separated as slack" or screen
Iings" and the amount Of the latter or
lhand soon exceeds the demand. Their
the price begins to go down.

SAYS COUNTRY LACKS
A DEFINITE POLICY
William j. Calhoun, Former
Minister to China, Speaks
in Light of Experience.

CHICAGO, Nov. 8.-Practice Of ap-
pointing men to the foreign service as
reward for political activity was Sc
verely criticised tonight by William J.
Calhoun. former minister to China,
speaking to members of the CONNER
cial club.
Mr.. Calhoun also asserted that the
lack of consistent foreign policy and
method OF selecting those who repre-
sent this nation abroad had lowered the
efficiency OF the foreign service far be,
low what il should be.
He asserted that IL was the practice
OF the government 10 appoint TO for
eign service men who were very rich
or those who had served the party in
politics.
"The government is spending mil
hons for postoffiees III villages where
there is no need" he said, "and mil
lions for improvements of rivers which
no one ever heard of and on which the
only traffic is the swimming Of some
lone duck. yet it refuses decent homes
and decent salaries for our representa-
tives in foreign fields, where they are
to compete with the brain and ability
Of men from other countries Ia this
fair condition9
"The American people have never
given much consideration to our for
eign service, either diplomatic or con-
suler. Many believe an appointment In
tho service is concession to establish
trade relations. AS result, our for
eign service has too long been tainted
with party politics and too long been
the reward Of some political debt. No
interest has been taken in ability OF
efficiency. We do not measure up to
tho standards Of other nations in this
regard.
"We have no consistent foreign pol.
icy, but are more of an insular coun-
try. What suggestion of foreign policy
we might have from time TO time
cmanates from some secretary of state
who happens to be in office and has
no effect on his successor Some
times we see some person is given a
foreign position solely for political rea-
sons, with the distinct understanding
he will resign at the end Of year"

Thanksgiving Proclamation

THANKSGIVING in value all other indi-
vidual possessions is the grateful heart
Aside from the sense of peace, and con-
tentment that it awakens, gratitude serves as
the ballast Of the oft-time reck1essly driven
craft-ambtion. Gratitude is the check to
sef-sufficiency and the golden link in the
chain Of universal interdependence.
So long as the thankful heart abides, so
long as gratitude finds expression-whether
through the spoken word Of appreciation, or
through that sacred communion that is held
within the sanctity Of the chamber of prayer
the human race will make toward righteous
ness and right living. The fullest outpouring
of the human heart is the expression of graft
tude. The and friendly feeling that
gratitude awakens toward a benefactOr in
spires loyalty and devotion and cultivates
and strengthens faith.
Distinguished as a God-fearing people who
sought to apply the ideals Of sublime faith
in an Overriding Hand to the everyday af-
fairs of life, the Pilgrim fathers established
and sacredly observed an annual day of
thanksgiving and prayer. The custom has

ROOSEVELTS AID TWO
GIRLS TO GET HOME
Youngsters Were Going to
Rio de Janeiro on Contract
to Work in Show.

NEW YORK, Nov. s.-Through the
friendly offices of Colonel and Mrs
Roosevelt two young American girls
who sailed from New York last month
for Rio de Janeiro, are back here after
an excursion in the Brazilian city That
might have been disastrous but for the
influence Of their fellow Americans.
The young women arc Miss Gladys Wad-
dell, IL years old and Miss Joan Shore,
i9 years old. They were fellow passen-
gers with the Roosevelts on the steam.
er Van Dyck IS the colonel started
from New York on his South American
trip. Many of the passengers. notably
Mrs. Roosevelt. became interested in
the bright young women, and when it
was found that they we're under con-
tract to appear IN place Of amuse-
ment in Rio de Janeiro, Mrs. Roosevelt
made inquiries which resulted in deci-
sion by the young women to return to
New York on the next ship. They were
embarrassed by lack of funds, but a
subscription started by Mrs. Roosevelt
and others and backed by the colonel
resulted in the passage money being
quickly raised. When the Van Dyck
reached Rio on October 90 1T was de-
cided to transfer Miss Waddell and
Miss Shore to the Vestris, then prepar-
Ing to sail north, without their landing
on Brazilian soil. The Brazilian police
stepped in however, and their motor
launch intercepted that on which the
young Americans were proceeding to
the Vestris, They were taken ashore
and hailed before a magistrate, accused
of violating contract. Fortunately,
Mrs. Roosevelt had gwen Miss Waddell
note to the American minister and
official intervention by the consul in
persons. which the note brought about.
ultimately resulted in dismissal OF
the case. Thereupon the girls took pas
sage on the Vestris, on which they ar
rived here tonight. Miss Waddell lives
in this city and Miss Shore in Chicago.
