Two Meals a Day

Not Ions ago the American Medi.
archaeological association held its
annual meeting i'm New York. Many
well-known physicians addressed the
meeting. Also az least one well.
known layman spoke.
The layman was Carl s. vrooman.
assistant secretary OF agriculture at
Washington The purpose OF his ad.
dress was 10 urge the assembled
medical specialists to co operate
with the government In impressing
on the public the urgent necessity
tor prudent use OF foodstufs.
Wisely Mr.. Vrooman reminded his
audience OF physicians that they

This is an alternative open 10
those who feel that they cannon DO

that they az once resolve 10 restrict

The result will be the same as
tho they acted on Mr.. Vrooman
proposal. They will be performing
their part in the patriotic pubic
duty OF food conservation. And.

much. they will gain in personal

Everybody on this side OF the At

in the present food crisis. This is
imperative. Mr. vrooman did not

Let the Coal Out and
the Price to Consumers
Will Quickly Tumble

There are some things everybody
/. knows.
XII One of them is that coal is the very
basis of all our industry and is needed
Y n every home where the winter is severe
Nenough TO require heat.
n Another is that coal is scarcer than II
has been for years and that the price
is higher and more oppressive.
But the thing about the situation that
everybody does not know and for which
everybody is seeking the reason is why
coal should be so scarce and why the
price should be so high.
Congress is tackling it, the federal
trade commission is tackling 1t, the ad-
visory commission of the national coun-
Gil of defense is tackling 1t.
There are many discussions about 1t.
When all is said and done the situation
would seem to resolve itself down to this:
The scarcity of coal and the high price
of coal are due to the fact that the rail-
roads have not supplied to the coal mines
the number of coal cars adequate to car
nv the product to the market.
Scarcity in food products is often due
to poor crops.
Scarcity in manufactured products is
often due to inability to speed up the pro-
duction.
But no such thing applies to coal.
There is in this country the greatest
supply of unmined and workable coal In
the world.
The mines already developed are cap
able of supplying every need OF the IN
dustrial and domestic life of our people.
The rich black seams are there for the
miners.
The supply of skilled labor is also
there.
But no mining company can work Its
lodes full speed ahead unless there are
cars to take the product to market.
And that is just exactly where the rail-
roads have failed the miners and the
country.
They have not made wise use of the
cars they have on hand.
They have not effected an equitable
distribution.
They have diverted coal cars to other
uses.
They have suffered cars to be employed
on long time consuming hauls when they
might have been used on short hauls.
If all the governmental and trade
bodies, which are now wrestling with the
question, will bring about some method
of giving the coal miners enough cars,
there will soon be more than enough coal
for every use.
Then it will not be necessary to fix a
coal price.
The price will regulate itself.
The law of supply and demand will fix
the price, because with supply more
than equal to the demand, the charge for
coal will drop to its proper level.

Youth
BY eERToN BRALEY

All the world was made for
Was to serve the young,
Twas for youth the velvet green
On the earth was flung,
Young hearts love the sunshine,
Youth can laugh at rain,
All the world was made for youth,
We can see it plain.
Best Of songs are fashioned
For youths ready ear;
All the gayest measures,
All the lightest cheer,
Made for youth to laugh to.
All the worlds stage
Where youth plays the drama
There's no room for age.
What then of the graybeards?
Shall they have no chance?
Not if they are grabbed,
Proof against romance;
But if years are lightly
On their shoulders flung
They shall know youths rapture,
For their hearts are young!
