from all sources relative to the excel

today. some Of the committees report
cd that already they had their quota

quarters in the Fleming building, the
goal for the campaign was raised from
$4,000 to $4,000. The suggestion Of
raising the goal to the $4,000 mark
was offered by Frank Pryor during a
short address. After Mr.. Pryor con-
cluded his speech, and without the
least discussion, motion was made
and carried that the mark be raised.
Fairmont's quota is but $4,000, but 1t

Took One Car Twenty
Three Days to Travel
26S Miles.
ON SIDING MOST OF TINE
Reporter Who Stuck Right
With It Timed It's Move
ments.

CLEVELAND, O., Nov. 20.-How
fast can car car II it is coal car?
What does coal car do, in this
year of our Lord one nine one seven?
Does it leap along the rails, speed
lily and sportively. or does 1t leap
along the ties like a BolsheyiIi
amuck? Does 1t buckle down to its
task of beating the coal famine and
hunting the Hun, or does it buckle up
in DISGUST and tie traffic in a bow
knot?
Does it run? Does it walk? Does it
creep? Or does it just camouflage?
Well, a Cleveland Press reporter
made coal car his bedfellow in the
southern Ohio coal fields, and slept
with it until it had delivered its "pre-
cious cargo" in Cleveland and return
ed to the mine for another load.
When he started on the assignment
he was one of the younger members
Of the staff. When he reported in
again they didn't know him, he look
ed so mature and experienced.
This coal car, namely P. r. +.
114967,, spent just exactly % days.
hours and 80 minutes, by the stop
watch, in travelling loaded from the
Glenn Run Coal company's Rush Run
mine in Jefferson county, Ohio, to a
Cleveland foundry, and empty from
Cleveland to the Cambridge Galleries
cofpany's Ideal mine near Byesville,
Guernsey county. Ohio.
During this twenty-three-day 26S-
mile journey Mr.. P. R. R. 174967 was
in motion only three days, one hour
and eight mintes. again by the stop
watch. The rest of the time it was
taking the rest cure on sidiags. and
performing other similar I. w. w.
stunts.
Also, during the three days plus
that car was in motion, how fast did
1t moved? 1t moved at the rate OF
|! six miles per hour. Just think OF
that!
In other words, the average net
ispeed of Mr.. P. r. R. 174967 during
the total elapsed time from mine to
mine was II miles day-about as
far as man can walk in three hours,
and just a trife under the distance
Travelled in one day by the average
baby of one year and half crawling
between kitchen and dining room.
When the car left Rush Run mine
the Press man acquired a warm suit
OF clothes. When the car reached the
first tower he acquired blanket. He
found the Pullman accommodations
rather limited.
Before the car was beyond halloo.
ing distance from the mine he had
acquired respectable beard, which
he finally removed lest it turn white
en- route.
The consensus of opinoin, as re.
suit OF his trip. on what is the matter
with the coal situation is this:
No lack Of coal. Coolies of it.
No lack of mines. Plenty of 'em.
No lack of miners. They're abund.
ant.
No lack of cars. There are enough
empty cars loafing along en- route tc
coal nation.
What happened to the cars after
they are loaded is what makes coal
scarce.
