industries The last sweeping state
ment certainly is not true. so far as
iron ore mined and the manufacture
of iron and steel concerned The
iron business must plead guilty to be-
ing connected with great wastage in
the making of coke. but the rapid ex-
tension of the by-product process is
greatly reducing the waste of gases.
In the mining of ore and the manufac-
ture of iron and steel, the wastage is
almost neglible. Mr.. Chance unde-
takes to defend the leaving of coal as
pillars to support roofs in mines, be-
cause he says, coal has a nominal
value of but 10 to Is cents per cubic
yard and no labor value, because no
labor has been expended upon it. He
says that this use of the coal repre-
sents the cheapest and least valuable
material available to support the roofs
and saves the whole labor cost of
building supports of other materials.
So far as the present value to the
world is concerned, this statement is
true, but we do not believe that sound
economics would justify the leaving in
the ground of tremendous tonnages of
coal, which in future years would be
of great use to mankind. Due consid-
Grafton for the people who will inhabit
the earth in future years demands that
none of the earth's valuable deposits
which can be utilized with reasonable
expenditure shall be put out of the
reach of mankind. Coal promises to
be one of the most precious of the
deposits in future years and it's strict

Germans may be being born six
times as fast as they are being killed
in the war; as Hudson Maxim, the in
ventor of explosives, declares, and
with the added observation that Ger
many's supply of soldiers cannot be
exhausted with such a birth rate. But
the Germans being born now at this
rate will hardly be available for the
present war. So Mr.. Maxim must be
considering them in the light of pro-
spective soldiers for some future war.

Caprice is the dominant passion in
fashion. and there is really no reason
why we should cling to the tradition
that certain fabrics are intended for
certain months.
This tradition was established when
science had not prevailed over
weather, and houses were hot or cold,
according to the calendar. Now we are
so protected from all disagreeable
conditions that we have cast aside the
idea that the calendar should have
any influence on clothes. This is truer
in winter than in summer, of course
for no one has yet learned successfully
to temper the heat to the most shorn
of lambs, and the sight of velvet in
August gives a shudder to those who
remain in hot climates. but rapid
