ANTHRACITE BREAKS RECORD.
Production for 1918 Was Nearly $1,000.
600 Tons, Valued at Slo5,oo0, 900.

The production of anthracite again
broke the record in 1913, extending the
highest previous output by nearly ,0O0,-
600 tons, according to figures compiled
by +. w. Parker. coal statistician of the
United States Geological Survey In.
Guiding the coal recovered from old culm
banks and small quantity dredged
from Susquehanna river, the production
of anthracite for the year was sl,7ls,6S0
long tons. valued at Sl95,1Sl, l27, com
pared with 1922 SIS tons. valued at
SlT7, go, 626 for 1912. This is an in
crease of over 5000. 900 tons in quantity
and more than ST. 100000 in value. The
previous highest record was S0,77l ,4SS
long tons, in 1910. Anthracite miners
and operators are now working under
an agreement extending over period of
four years from April !, 1912; there
were consequently no serious Interrupt
tions to mining operations by labor trou
bles in 1918 and industrial peace is as
sured in the anthracite region until 1916.
As the use of anthracite coal as a
manufacturing fuel has been practically
eliminated. its production is not affected
by trade conditions to the same extent
as that of bituminous coal The increase
in the use of artificial gas and of coke
for domestic purposes will, in Mr.. Par
ker's estimation, probably keep pace
with the increase Of population in the
markets supplied by anthracite. and
there is little probability that anthracite
production will show any marked in
crease in the future.
Another record in addition to that of
tonnage was established in the anthra
cite region in 1913. The average work
ing time for men. 257 DAYS, exceeded
anything in the history of the industry,
the nearest approach being in 1911. when
an average of 246 working days was re-
corded. In 1912 the average was 23l
working days. The average number of
men employed in 1913 was l75,745.
Reports to the bureau of mines show
that there were 8lS fatal accidents in
the anthracite mines in 1918, compared
with 5s4 fatalities in 1912.

The Use of Opium in the United States.

In the June American Magazine a
former newspaper man, who IS now an
inmate of penitentiary, records his
experiences with opium. He writes I'M
der the title, "A Modern Opium Eater"
and he signs his article mo, 6606' which
is his number in the penitentiary where
he is confined. Following is an extract
from the article;
Few people in the United States real
ize the extent to which opium and kim
dred drugs are being used to-day IN this
country. You, my reader. may have
read of the federal governments strict
prohibitive law against the Importation
of smoking opium, and concurred idly
and without interest. But do you know
that the United States revenue service
has 'oster of over three thousand
known users of opium in San Francisco
alone? Countless other thousands are
unregistered Every other great city in
the country has similar rosters, and
numbers its 'iends by thousands and
tens Of thousands. Hundreds of cans
Of the contraband drug are sold daily
in New York, Chicago, Denver, New Or
leans, Salt Lake, and Portland. The
United States army posts have been
invaded, and thousands of the wearers
of our country's uniform are users of
opium, morphine and cocaine. The Sc
verest penalties have not seemed even
to check the habit
starting at the Preside in San Fran
cisco with the transports returning from
the orient, the drug habit has spread
among the enlisted men in the army by
leaps and bounds. The reason is easily
found. Not one man in hundred, once
he has tested the peace. the mind-ease,
the soothed nerves and the surcease from
all sorrows, disappontments, and re-
sponsibilities that come from a first use
of opium, ever again has the will-power
to deny himself that delightful nepenthe.
Opium is like the salary loan shark-a
friend to-day, smoothing difficulty and
trouble with a free and easy hand. To-
morrow it becomes a master exacting a
toll hundredfold more terrible than the
ills it eased.'

SUFFRAGE is ENDORSED.
Resolution Easily Passed by Women's
Federation at Chicago.

Chicago June l5.-The principle of
woman suffrage was endorsed by the
General Federation of Women's Clubs
on Saturday. By this action, twenty
years fight by the suffragists to break
down the federation's constitutional bar
on political and religious subjects was
successful The actual operation re-
qured less than five minutes. The mo-
tion was made by Mrs. E. G. Denniston
of San Francisco, chairman of the reso-
buttons committee. There were seconds
from all over the house, but Mrs. James
Lee of Kentucky insisted upon being
heard and read a paragraph of the
hymnlike woman's creed Others would
have spoken, but Miss Lutte +. Stearns
of Milwaukee objected 81 don't see why
there should be any discussion she said.
Eight million women are waiting for
MS. AS Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait said
in her address last night, the women
of the world are waiting for our action
to-day
When the question was put, there
was chorus of ayes, but scattered neg
atiyes were plainly heard. While Mrs.
Percy V. Pennypacker was declaring the
motion carried and pounding with her
gavel for order, the prosuffragists arose
and clspped their hands. There were
tears in many eyes. Then in a distant
gallery to which the Illinois delegates
as hostess had consigned themselves, the
women raised their VOICES above the
tumult, in THE Battle Hymn of the
Republic" The refrain, GLORY glory,
halelujah,' was taken up in various
sections of the auditorium. The resolu-
tion follows:
Whereas. the question Of political
equality of men and women is to-day
a vital problem under discussion
throughout the civilized world;
Resolved, That the General Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs give the cause of
political equality its moral support by
recording its earnest belief in the prin-
ciple of political equality regardless Of
sex"

ALABAMA MINES ACTIVE.
Nearly Eighteen Million Tons of Coal
Produced in 1918

The production of coal in Alabama in
1918 was 1858, 522 short tons, valued at
the mines at 23,0S3724, according TO
figures compiled by Z. w. Parker, of
the United States geological survey. in
cooperation with the Alabama geo
logical survey.
The increase in coal production in Ala
hama in 1918 compared with 1912 was
| ST. ,a22 short tons in quantity and ST.
254,472 in value This increase was due
to several causes During a part of
1912 some of the larger companies were
in the hands of receivers and this con
dition cut down the possible output for
that wear. The production was further
restricted BY the burning OF the tipple
at one of the large mines. Several new
mines were opened in 1918, furnishing
a gradually increasing output, and some
of the older mines have added improve
ments and extended their workings
Labor conditions were much better in
1918 than in either 1912 or 1911. and ear
shortage was less acute in 1918 than in
recent wears. as some OF the large coal
carrying roads have added materially to
their facilities for handling the output.
The increased tonnage went principally
to points outside of the state The rela-
tions between operators and mine work
ers we're generally harmonious and in
creased wages were put into force in
February. Earnings by miners and
mine laborers i'll 1913 are said to have
been higher than ever before in the his
tory of coal mining in Alabama, and i'm
proved sanitary and living conditions
put into effect by many companies adj
ded to the general betterment The
number of nien employed in 1918 was
n 552. against 22.6l3 in 1912. The total
time lost by strikes in 1913 was 81
OIL days, LOIS men being idle for an
average of % days. There were l24 men
killed in the coal mining operations of
Alabama in 1918, according TO the
bureau of mines.

The Old--And the New.

Thy're poking fun at the garments our
msidens wear to-day;
The slit skirt gets a roasting wherever
on display;
The artist-men draw pictures, enlarging
on the gowns,
And every straight-laced spinster looks
on the same-and frowns.
But listen now, good people-just listen
please to me:
Can anything beat the hoopskirts they
wore in go?
Our girlies 90 a-waddling when they
start down the street;
We gaze upon their makeup and say It's
indiscreet;
We call the styles "outlandish"- far
fetched and so tight.
And say we are disguested, and whisper,
what fright"
But when it comes to something that
is freak-ah, me!
Can anything beat the hoopskirts they
wore in so?
We laugh to see the hobble our maidens
now effect.
And some say that the wearers are los
ing their respect;
We smile TO see them trying to climb
aboard cal.
And really. It's amusing to see them
stretch so far.
But turn your memory backward some
fifty years and see
If anything beats the hoopskirts they
wore in 63.
Why criticize the garments which now
the women WEAR
Why gaze at springtime fashions in sor-
row and despair?
Why smile because our girlies can hard
W trip along?
Why rubber" so intently then sigh and
call it wrong?
You call their gowns "the limit"
THEY'RE bad enough but gee!
Can anything beat the hoopskirts they
wore in '63

Carlisle School News.

Last week was "big week" at Car
lisle. The students moved into their
handsome new three-story brick dor
mitory, which event marked an epoch
in the schools history. Work was
begun on this building last August
and it has been pushed to compile
ton as rapidly as possible. On the
first floor is the dining room, lobby,
infirmary, kitchen, pantry, shower
baths, bed rooms for teacher, matron
and guests. The second and third
floors are devoted to bed rooms,
seventeen on each floor.
On Monday evening the faculty
and students were at home to their
friends in town and many Of them
availed themselves of the opportuni-
ty of seeing the new building. 1t
was thrown open for inspection from
the basement to the garret. "Beau-
tiful," splendid" "up-to-date" were
some of the expressions heard.
Mr.. Sidney Landon, on the Lyceum
course, gave one of his splendid en-
tertainments on Tuesday evening,
Speaking Likeness of Great Men"
And as he impersonated Victor Hugo,
Rudyard Kipling, Bill Nye, Alfred
Tennysonand others, the audience
realized that they were being enter
tanned by an artist.
The Carlisle boys, who were the
State champions in baseball last year,
are beginning to feel themselves"
now as the days get warmer. They
expect to put out an even stronger
team than last year and say that
somebody will have to "play BALI to
take the pennant from them.
