COAL PRODUCTION
lNnttnna1 Nc,rs AssnciatinnN

(National News Association
WASHINGTON. July 22.-The coal
production of Alabama during 1912
amounted to 16 100. 600 short tons, val
ued at $50. S29.252. according to a re
port OF the geological survey issued to
day. This is an increase of l.079.l7S
tons valued at S1,749.G03 over the 1911
production. The increase in coal
prices has advanced the value faster
than the production, an increase OF
5000. 600 being noted in 1912 over the
1910 production although the tonnage
of the former year was less.

the most awful sound l ever heard,
and second later the heavy ladder
fell across his chest He never moved
a muscle The other man lifted him
self up and groaned in pain and by
that time men from the furniture store
had come and removed the scaffold
from the body OF Mr.. Wiggans."
Nature of Wiegans' Hurts.
At II O'Clock this morning it was
reported that Wiggans stood the trip
to the hospital in a very satisfactory
manner and that there was a bare
chance of him surviving his injuries.
Wiggans had several ribs, his nose
and a foot fractured, and he may have
sustained internal injuries for his
mouth was continually filling with
blood. He is married and resides at
929 North Twelfth street.
People who witnessed the accident
state that McLane had been sitting
on the scaffold alone for some time,
and that when Wiggans stepped from
the roof to the scaffold it was seen
to shake then one of the lookout
posts broke, causing the structure to
drop AS it fell Wiggans lost his bal
ance, and plunged feet foremost to
the sidewalk McLane held tightly
and maintained his position on the
scaffold
The crash when the sign was Struck,
followed by the noise of the struc-
lures impact with the sidewalk, could
be heard a considerable distance, and
in a few seconds large crowd had
| asseSbled. McLane was helped to his
| feet and a short time later placed
| in physicians automobile and taken
| to his home. Wiggans, when the scat

SPEAKS ON PLANS

Wednesday.
HISTORY OF RICHMOND

The danger of buying miscellaneous
"sets" of books, particularly from
agents, was held up this morning be-
fore the young librarians who are at
tending the Library Summer school at
Earlham College. The lecture was de-
livered by Prof. Harlow Lindley,
librarian and professor of history at
the local college and head of the de-
partment Of archives and history in
the state library at Indianapolis His
subject was the Selection of Histori-
cal Books for the Public Library"
Mr.. Lindley urged a careful consid
grafton before purchase of every vol
ume in a set of historical works, since
some are likely to be good, some
worthless. He advised the purchase
by libraries of historical pictures,
maps and lantern slides for the use
both of general readers and of school
teachers and pupils.
A selected list of representative his
tories dealing with each age and i'm
portant country, was distributed.
Prof Lindley will talk tomorrow at
. a. m. on Local History in Public

1t is stating our principle only in another
way to say that there is undoubtedly some
thing that each of us can do better than
we can do anything else, and that the doing
of that is the primary purpose of our
earthly existence. The study of aptitudes
is, therefore, serious matter. Trees do not
have to study aptitudes. They do what is
divinely expected of them without having
to make inquiries. People are the only
order of being we are familiar with that
blunder into the path that nature has pre-
scribed for them, or more probably, blunder
out of it. A great many children are
pushed into a mistaken path by ambitious
parents, who are more intent on having
them make name for themselves than on
having them fill to the full the place that
God and nature ordained for them. He was
an exceptionally intelligent and apprecia-
tive father who upon being asked if he was
going to send his son to college replied:

BOYS are not to be secuted except when
they try to do thousand dollar work. There

than there is to be done by the other kind
There are only four cables in the Brooklyn
Bridge, but 2t,000 small wires. There is
only one sun in our solar system but there
are eight planets, more than that number
of satellites and a numberless host of aero
lites.
Church and State both are sufferers from
the host of ordinary people that have a
genius for ordinary service, but who had
rather put their single talent in a napkin
than bring it out where the public gener-
ally can see that it is only one talent and
not two. 1t is a way they take to criticize
their Creator for having dealt with them
so economically, and is as much of an Of

kind of reservoir, set in the midst of the
current, like the Lake of Geneva in the
course of the Rhone, or like the lake oil
Constance in the midst of the Rhine, which
receive the supplies that flow down into
them from the uplands only to discharge
them with an ever increasing effluX which
sends them forward to the ocean, and so
mingles them with the waters of all the
seas and all the lands?
That which has just been stated is the
thought underlying the charge which st.
Paul in the words of our text, delivered to
Timothy, Neglect not the gift which is i'll
thee" The full significance of Timothy lay
not in what Timothy was, but also in what
Timothy was for. 1t is not enough that
the sun be big orb hanging in the sky,
but that it be a big orb shining in the sky.
Its value is not in what it is, but in being
fitted to a purpose, and in fulfilling that
purpose. Gold is valuable as an ornament
because it sheds brilliancy; valuable in
commercial relations because it serves as
medium of exchange. St Paul would have
Timothy understand that considered simply
as Timothy he was not an asset, and that
his value commenced only when his use
fulness commences, and that his true value
consisted in his usefulness. Matthew tells
us that as soon as Jesus had looked upon
a fig tree that bore no figs the tree with
cred. Figless fig trees do not count. They
may be sufficiently pretty as trees, but the
one particular meaning of a fig tree is in
its figs.
1t is an interesting thing to look upon
man and to ask ones self: What did God
send him into the world for? What is the
special gift dvinely impaired to him that
sets him in a measure apart from other
men and that fits him to do a particular
work. and that frames him with co-opera-
tive intent into the general mechanism of
the times?
1t is with that same regard, only broad
ened, that we have to contemplate the va
rious races that compose the human family
Racial rivalries and racial antagonism pro-
coed from very contracted view of that
comprehensive divine purpose which makes
use of racial distinctions in order to the
better attainment of his own purposes
Each race is to be thought OF as put in
possession of some special endowment
some peculiar quality Of mind or temper Of
spirit that enables il to make its own
specific contribution to the totality of

some effort toward more sane control of
fashion, but to become in a large measure
independent Of it altogether, desiring
rather to wear clothes which have real
relation to the woman's particular in
dividuality.
On more closely Analysing the subject, l
find that this is very much in keeping
with the entire trend of conditions in the
past twenty or more years. / find that
for a generation women have quietly but
concertedly discouraged complicated fash
ions, and have moved forward with steady
progress toward greater efficiency in
clothes. The matter has now reached
such a point when prominent dressmak-
ers admit that the time seems to be near
when women will wear but three gar
ments-a union suit of underwear, pair
of corsets and a One-piece outer costume.
Efficiency is-although most women do
not know 1.-THE keynote of modern wom-
ems dress.
Observe that this tendency toward eff
cheney has been made completely by wom-
en- themselves and not by manufacturers
for manufacturers and dressmakers
have been hit the hardest because of this
tendency Whereas it used to take ten
yards of goods to make dress, one can
nowadays be made with from five yards
or less.
This is therefore, the very first point
to be considered in any serious at
tempt to make fashions efficient. Women
should have more coherent and organized
voice in the establishment of fashions-a
voice which will not wait for expression
until the middle of the season, but which
will take serious thought of the thing be-
fore the season arrives, and plan ahead.
1t is the height of inefficiency for women
to decide on the styles and fashions after
the stores and factories have completed
manufacturing and distributive labors, and
they are ready to buy, and thus annually
toss on the waste pile many millions of
dollars worth of goods which women re-
ject.

eStlmates Of people, those Of us who are
CHRISTIANS ought to determine our CLASH
HcaClon, not according to the size Of mems

with which they respect those gifts and the
unreserVe with which they make them
tributary to altruistic ends. That is stated
III as distinct way as Scripture is ca
paole OF in the exceptional emphasis the
Lord laid upon the charity of the woman
who gave two mites.
People with five talents ought TO have
more respect than they do for those who
nave put one, but who faithfully serve their
generation IN the use they make of thar
one; and they very likely would if their
more humble co-laborers made it more evil
dent that they had a good measure of re-
spect for themselves, and did not treat the
heagreness OF their gift as a kind of ig-
nomlny. Fidelity to our gifts. larger or
smaller, ought to create among Christians
spirit and relation of pure democracy. and

numerical and vulgar aspect of things and
were SuHlclently converted to the mind of
Chflst to be prepared to have every man

not according to that he hath not"
The thing then that man can do better
than anything else is the thing that he
is called to do. Native adjustment to any

amounting to the rendering of that service.
The voice that speaks to us from our domi-
nant aptitude is to be interpreted by us as
being the voice of Cod as much so as the
voice that Saul heard on his way TO Da-
mascus. The sanctity of life does rot de-
pend on what we do, but whether in the
doing of 1t we feel the pressure of the
divine will upon us and the inspiration of
the divine purpose or, to state it in a lit
tie broader way, whether we are trying to
make our special gift play into the hands
of the public interest. The public interest
is Gods interest and when we enthusiastically
promote the one we religiously promote the
other.
This is Christianity-Ch cons1d-
cred not as neXus of theological problems.
but as life, unified by the simplicity of
its purpose, sweetened by the generosity of
its loving intent and hallowed by its con
secration to that Divine Master, who HIM

want and has capitalized the world by The
treasures of his own wisdom and affection.

Neglect Not the GIFT ThGt Is in Thee.
i. TimOthH 41f.
- VERIFYING which exists is ordained
to contribute to some end and aim
~ outside of itself. The altruistic idea
is involved in the very construction of
things. The root is for the sake of the
trunk, the trunk is for the sake of the
branch, the branch is for the bud, the bud
for the blossom, the blossom for the fruit,
the fruit for the man, the man for what he
can do, and so on to the end-and there is
no end-altruism clear to the finish of
line that never leaves off.
Ii in looking at piece of machinery l
discover some wheel, lever or cog that l
do not understand, | ask What is that
for?" That means that nothing has any
business to be a part of the machine I'M
less it is for something. An object is not
explained by stating what it is, unless 1t
is also stated what it is for
The notion that a thing is worth only
what il will produce and to be estimated
only on the basis of what It will contribute
is a thought deeply and ineradicably fixed
in the human mind; so deeply, however, as
sometimes to be covered up by what lies
sfble to know thing so well as to forget it.
Everything of whatever sort finds its JUS
LITIGATION not in what it is in itself, but in
its adaptedness to some end outside of
itself and beyond itself, and in the fidelity
with which it subserves that end. A
speaker goes upon the platform to deliver
an address Every letter which he enun-
ciates is for the word which it helps to
spell Every word is for the sake of the
paragraph. Each paragraph is put under
contribution to the complete address. The
completed address is Tor the sake of the
total idea that the speaker is before his
audience to represent and to urge. The
idea, too, is not there in its own interest,
but as an influence designed to tell upon
the minds of the listeners And the list
eners! What are they for? Does the train
of successive impulses stop with them or
are they likewise another link in the chain
reaching on and out into a frontierless
realm of eternal succession?
What are the listeners for? Are they an
inland sea, with no outlet. or are they

Recipe for Making Jokes.

There is nothing any easier than
writing jokes. Simply jot down your
ideas for the jokes, say two or three
hundred, on a slip of paper; then seat
yourself before a typewriter. Feed
blank paper into the typewriter and
inject the ideas through your finger
tips into the keys Continue to do
this until all of the ideas on the slip
are exhausted, then gather up the
Jokes, which have piled themselves
into heap on the opposite side of the
typewriter, send them to editors and
receive your checks. A couple of
hours a day spent in this manner
should bring you in revenue enough
to support a wife and nine children,
run six-cylinder touring car and buy
bonbo1s for a soul-mate. Try 1t.
