OUR MINERAL PRODUCTS

Final statistics Of the mineral
production for 1913, issued by the
Geological Survey, confirm the pre-
liminary estimates Of January last
and show there has been a note
worthy increase of production. Colo
rado alone has suffered a significant
decrease, due to constantly recurring
labor troubles. For many States 1913
was a banner year. Illinois, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Alabama,
Virginia, Montana, Texas, New Mex
leo, Oklahoma, West Virginia, and
Utah made new records in coal out
put.
BLOODHOUND Ohio proved itself su-
perior to natures setback, and at the
end of 1913 showed per cent in
crease in coal production. 1owa's in
crease was per cent, Indiana did
IL per cent better, and Washington
showed an increase of Is per cent.
Kentucky's increase amounted to l9
per cent.
The petroleum production of 1913
set a new record, the increase in bar
rels being 25,Oo0,oOo. The money
gain over 1912 amounted to ST., 2,o0o,-
coo. Coke production, likewise, took
leap. Iron and zinc outputs were
greater than ever before. Almost
without exception our mineral pro-
ductions for last year showed mark
ed increase. The surveys report in
dicated that these industries were in
prosperous condition last year. The
war has already played havoc with
them and this year is likely to prove
disastrous unless somehow or anoth-
er the Government can open the
oceans to our products.

ANEW SPORT.

Have you heard of "aquaplaning?"
1t is a new sport of the present sum-
mer, and it has spread widely. It
now has devotees at all the resorts
where there is water. A. plank is
fastened securely TO long rope be-
hind a motor boat running at speed
Of from ten to twenty miles an hour.
Upon this plank the individual in
dulging in this new water amuse-
ment takes his stand, attired in a
bathing suit, it is needless to say.
Just how long he keeps the stand
that he has taken depends upon his
proficiency in the game, the sport
being in this respect--as some cynic
has pointed oIt-very similar to the
game of politics. Experts in the
game have learned to do all sorts of
tricks mon the plank. Some of them
can make il wakble from side to side,
some boast of having reversed it en-
tirely, additional points, as the same

Organized in 1875.
The outcome Of this crusade was
the formal organization in this city
OF the union in May, 1875. Its first
Washington president was Mrs. An

Mrs. Clara L. Roach. then by Mrs.
Sarah d. lie Fetra, Mrs. Mary Z.
Griffith, Mrs. Margaret B. Platt.
Mrs. Clinton Smith And the present
incumbent. Mrs. Shelton.
"One of the first acts of the W.
c. T. U. was to establish. in the
lie Droit building at Eighth and F
streets, a lunch room where, for
the first time in the history of
Washington. men and women could
obtain a luncheon or dinner with
out going to a place where liquor
was sold. The success OF the yen-
ture was demonstrated. The lunch
room was taken over by private
owners, and since then hundreds OF
temperance lunch rooms have
sprung up in all sections of the
city
Work among the newsboys was
the next task undertaken by the
union. Dinners were given, and a
newsboys' temperance and benefit
society was formed. Out Of this
grew the newsboys' home. now

That one thing is. that when the
fighting was all over, Canada would

Great Britain understands that.
She understands that so long as she

Canada is the hostage Britain gives

reasons why Britain sincerely wants

WAR QUESTION BOX

A classification which is supported
by American and English decisions
divides all merchandise into the fol-
lowing:
l. Articles manufactured and pri-
marily or ordinarily used for mill
tary purposes in time OF war
.. Articles which may be, and are,
used for the purposes Of war or
peace. according to the circum-
stances.
3. Articles used exclusively for
peaceful purposes.
Merchandise OF the first class des-
tined to a belligerent country Is al
ways contraband. Merchandise of
the second class is contraband only
when destined for the military or
naval use of a belligerent. while mer-
chandise OF the third class never is
contraband at all though liable to
seizure and condemnation for VIOLA
ton OF blockade or sege.
No articles of merchandise are con-
traband so long as they remain in
neutral territory or on the high seas

THE RED CROSS WORK.

The American Red Cross is one
instrumentality through which Amer
leans, quite regardless of sympa-
thies for one side or the other, and
without violating the neutrality OF
this country, may demonstrate their
substantial concern for the simple
humanities. The organization, prop
erly backed by the public with money
and supplies, will be able to win for
this country the good will and graft
tude of all sides.
Its work is to be entirely non-par-
tisan. 1t will send surgeons, nurses,
supplies, and surgical equipment to
aid in relieving the needs of all the
armies in the field. Surely America,
which loves to esteem itself the fore
most power IN all that makes for the
bet.e7nent of the common man,
could make no more creditable ap-
pearance now than in the role of the
worlds angel of mercy, carrying
help and sympathy and succor to the
wars victims quite regardless of ma
ton or race. How better could this
nation prove the sincerity of its pro-
fessions of brotherhood for all men?
How more emphatically could it
show the superiority of institutions
under which the richest people in the
world are able TO devote themselves
to easing the agonies and binding
the wounds that other peoples unfor-
tunately must inflict and must suf-
fer?
Contributions to this work Of
mercy and charity may be sent to
the Red Cross, Washington, or to
local treasurers throughout the
country, whose names and addresses
will be given the widest publicity.
The need is right now. Thousands Of
the wars victims already need help.
Tens of thousands may be added to
their numbers any day; are, indeed,
certain to he added before many
days as result of the great battle
for which the forces are lining up
along the line on which the worlds
greatest battle will be fought. A
doller for this cause right now will
be worth many dollars later.
