January /.

Tho Washington Stock Exchange will

Until that time the activities Of the EX-
change viii be confined to bond dealing
which is now unrestricted, The govern
ing committee of the Exchange, at z
meeting today, decided that in so far as
The Christmas holidays are now so close
and business in securities at this period
Of the year is generally dull. il would
H. better TO defer resumption Of stock
trading until after the first of the year,
when. it is hoped, trading may be re-
sumed without any restrictions.
The majority oil the bank loans made
On local stocks. ii was said, have been
made to extend over the first of the
ear. and TO resume trading at this
r,me might cause bands to demand
more margin on such OF the stocks as
night develop activity. Should such
BE- the case after January l. when dIvI-
Iond disbursements shall have been
made, the owners of such securities
viz find il more convenient TO pro-
fcct themselves.
Trading on the exchange today was
confined. TO the sale of q Potomac Elec-
gric Power first per cent bond at 1914,
and a Washington Gas at 1914, the
after figure being an advance of IL
POINTS over the last sale. The changes
in quotations were very few, but in
the instances in which they occurred
were fractionally lower.

use OF safety appliances i'm the mines
is SHOWN by the statement that In the
last I'VE years. through lack OF such
appliances. more than $500 men have
Deen killed In the mines and nearly 90
coo seriously injured
In the accomplishments OF the year
Dr. Holmes calls attention to the state
ment OF his engineers that with an ex-
penditure of $1,000 they have brought
about a saving of natural gas worth
sia'Wo.OW, sum many times greater
IMAM the total cost OF all the work done
by the bureau during the four years of
It's existence. This was done by in
Producing better methods in the drilling
Tor petroleum and gas.
The bureau also claims that through
It's scientific method OF purchasing coal
by measuring the heat units, the Fed
erai Government has Saved during the
year 10000. and that the various Ct 'ies
OF the country that have taken up this
plan OF buying coal have reported a
saving last year of thousands OF dollars.
Figures Concerning Coal.
Referring to coal. DR.. Holmes says:
careful estimate indicates that in
The mining OF 800. 0oo. 900 tons Of coal
during the last calendar year there
was wasted or was left underground in
Inminable condition 800, 600 600 tons of
coal As a result OF careful prelImI-
nary inquiry. 1t is believed that more
IMAM one-haf GOO. 00o. 900 tons Of coaD OF
TINS yearly waste Is preventabIe under
existing economic conditions"
referring TO still other wastes. DR.
Holmes says: "A preliminary inquiry
as TO the coking of coal in beehive
ovens has shown that the total value NJ
the oy-products annually lost in this
country through the use Of such ovens
amounts to $4,000. 0O0 Although the de-.
Sraoiniy OF developing by-product in
austries IN this country has been recog-
come an actual need.

Through the study of coal mine eI-
blossoms and the work at the expert
mental mine. four types of explosion
stopping devices, in which rock dust Is
used. were developed, as follows: Box
barriers, concentrated barriers, ventila-
tion-door barriers, and ventuauon-stop-
ping barriers. This was, perhaps, tne
most important mine safety accomplish
ment of the year. or

ing TO $50. At the end OF the year
the total OF miners trained by the

More attention was given invesuga-
tions relating to petroleum, and much
waste of natural gas was stopped or
prevented.
According to DR.. Holmes, the bureau
has recorded its most notable achieve
ment in the rescue of more than lOJ
entombed miners at different disasters
and the rescue of many more miners by
volunteers who had been trained in
life-saving work by the bureau. The
bureaus influence has further resulted
I'm the esta blishment OF rescue and first
aid stations at hundreds Of mines
throughout the country, and the director
makes the statement that the trained
rescuers connected with these stations
will in the future save tho lives or
many mon. The total number OF miners
trained by the bureau has now reached

KANSAS CITY PARK PLAN.

New System Of Taxation Successful,
Producing Most Satisfactory Results.
How Kansas City, Mo-, through tax
alton system based on dividing the city
into park districts, financed its cam
paign for city Identification was told by
George e. Kessler, fellow Of the Ameri-
can Society Of Landscape Architects.
In an address at the recent national
conference on city planning at Chi
cagO.
'This system" said Mr.. Kessler, "has
placed the park department of Kansas
City in a semi-independent position
with reference to its funds and has
made 1t possible to accomplish results
that would have been entirely out Of
the question under any other financial
system In that city.
'In practice the system is an amplifi-
cation of the single tax theory. It was
not accomplished as matter of choice,
but as matter of necessity, and, mas
much as no properties had been ac-
CURED under any other system, the tax
paying public finally acquiesced and is
constantly urging an even more extern
sive development in order that the en-
tire city may obtain commensurate
benefits through improvement in every
section"

Wagner Worship.

'There is, no such worship Of ma

opera the scale Of prices varies accord
ing to the composer. Wagner, of
course, commanding the top notch ad-
mission. But the most peculiar fea-
ture Of this musical alteration Is that
it affects the toilets as well. With
the elaborate gowning Of a New York
audience in mind, I approached our
landlady as to the propriety Of appear
ing at the opera in such a makeshift
costume as my tourist wardrobe afford
ed. Tt depends entirely upon the com
poser you intend to hear. fraulein,
was her astonishing reply. For some
your present attire would be perfectly
proper, but If it is the great Wagner
you are to hear She broke of. but
an expressive shrug Of the shoulders
told palmer than words that It would
be an affront to his ashes to appear
in anything but the most stunning and
up to date evening gown."-New York

When Thank. Were Given.

Many years ago noted chief Of the
tribe Of Chippewa Indians while hunt
ing wounded deer and followed 1t for
miles. The chase was long and very
severe, and the Indian was in the last
stages Of exhaustion from fatigue and
lack Of food and water when he found
himself on the top Of wonderful
mountain, at the foot Of which nestled
a beautiful lake crystal clear. From
the surface of the lake trout leaped,
and upon the shore lay the deer he had
hunted. Here we're food, water, lsh
and fuel for cooking.
Raising his hand and facing the set
ting sun, the exhausted chief exclaim-
ed, "Tsh-pem-ing," which In the Chip
pewa tongue means ''heaven" or 'sthe
place on high"
The story was remembered, and the
name given by the Indian was adopted
by the white settlers when the present
city of Ishpeming. Mich, was formed.

His city beautiful, too, varies accord

his conception Of the city beautiful for
Newark by printing on the cover Of a
billboard magazine picture of Broad
street in that New Jersey metropolis,
with every building bearing double
decked signs urging the merits of beer

"AIl Of these and others, with yet

sSussSysvaUhd Usau 0SadstuSo SsTSSeO
Of Espy Fifty Years Ago.
Fifty years ago in Espy, Pa, M. G.
McCollum planted many maple trees on
the streets. He said that these trees
would always be a monument honor
ing his memory. During these years
Mr.. McCOllum has taken great inter
est in the growth and development Of
his trees.
This is type of patriotism worth
far more than that aroused by wars
alarms. It makes for better living
because it is constructive and per-
manent and bears on home life. In
deed, men reared in such surroundings
win be better citizens and, If need be,
better soldiers, because their homes
are more than walls of brick or wood
Just as Mr.. McCollum has transformed
Espy from village Of houses to q
village OF homes, so countless other
villages and towns may be transform
ed. 1t needs only the awakening OF a
genuine, peaceful patriotism to make
oneself public benefactor in this
kind of way. Such movement viii
