, Coal is Tumblins.


NEW YORK, Dec. 1l.-With a sud
den tumble in coal prices here. re-
garded as the best evidence that the
Sl1 and $13 ton of coal of recent
weeks was the result Of conspiracy,
the federal grand jury inquiry into
the high cost of living began here
today.
There never has been a real
shortage of coal at this port" Frank
NJ. Swacker, in charge of the inyes-
tigation, said. "Our evidence thus
far is that somewhat more than usual
has been shipped here from the
mines. Jobbsrs, have for some time
past, been refusing shipments on the
plea that they were not up to the
quality contracted for.
1.-THE truth is the governments ac-
ton has started the spectators run
ming to cover"
The grand jury beginning today
will concentrate on the coal inquiry
for several days probably, but will go
into other alleged price conspirac1es
before adjourning. In it's coal fnves-
LEGATIONS the jury has the benefit of
information gathered by the federal
trade commission and the department
of justice.

In conclusion Mr.. Dvrstad

One of the Thoughts the author
brin gs out is that new power
|of vision and understanding
may be conferred upon US by
keen observation. When we
stop to observe things careful
ly and analytically, we r Of
ten surprised to see things of
which we have even never
dreamed. You will find peo-
pie saving money for years in
order to go abroad to visit the
great art centers and see the
famous masterpieces, when in
actually they have never seen
the marvellous pictures spread
in the landscape, sunset and
plant life right at their: very
doors. Miracles of colorings
spread everywhere in nature.
We see them almost every day
of our lives and they become
so common that they make no
impression upon u.s., 1t seems
strange to think of the differ
ence between what a Rusk1n
sees in a landscape, a Bor-
roughs in bird life and the i'm
preston conveyed to their
brains, and what is seen by the
ordinary mind which has little
or no imagination. The fact is,
we are immersed in a wilder
ness of mysteries and marvel
Gus beauty and we are left to
interpret them. 1t is truly
worth while to cultivate the
splendid habit of keen analy-
ttical observation.
