WASHINGTON, d. c., June 81
Recognizing the potency of the export
control law, 400 operators OF bitumin
GUS and anthracite coal mines yester
day pledged themselves to maintain
fair and reasonable prices both for
the government and for the public.
As outlined in the proposals made
by these 400 operators there is to be
a special committee named in each
state which will fix prices subject to
the approval of the council for de-
tense. This committee will at the
same time seek to stimulate produe-
ton.
i The offer Of the operators followed a
conference between their representa-
tives and the new commission appoint
ed Monday by the President. 1t the
conference they were warned by Sec
retaries Lane and Daniels that some
such agreement was necessary and
must be entered into as otherwise
the government would take over the
output of their properties and pro-
coed to utilize it and market it to the
public at the prices which II might
deem fair and equable. When this
argument or ultimatum was present.

EKPLAINSGI1Y'S
HOSPITAL FEES

In explanation of a story in the Star
bulletin Saturday that the Queen 5
hospital during May cared for 81 city
Gilt and county was called upon TO
pay $685. 80. including X-ray pictures,
Werner Roehl, superintendent OF the
Queens hospital. states thai this sum
-i.ht IbOk big TO the general public
Itt is in reality quite low. He says;
The city and county Is charged
=LI0 per day for each patient, There
nave been 1910 hospital days for 81
patients, or an average of 13s days to
each patient
The city and county, pays the
hospital $3.50 for each and every X
ray picture no matter how big or how
small. The average charge for an X
ray picture in this city is about $3.50
ger plate and the charges range from
s. TO $50. This work the city and
county gets for $3.50. In the past two
years and also previous to that time
the Queens Hospital has lost from 90
cents to IS cents per day on each
city and county patient, and If it
w HUI luI tic S{uCCu
dowment, the hospital would have
closed its doors long ago.
1t also must be considered that in
the past two years everything has
gone up and especially is this the case
in the hospital line, as We need mostly
things such as gauze and cotton, rub
her goods, instruments, medicines,
ct cetera. All those articles mentioned
have gone up from % to 100 per cent
and even more 1t must be readily
seen that under the circumstances the
hospital must be managed very eco
nontically. In spite of the fact that
honolulu has an emergency hospital,
the Queens Hospital is called upon
daily to treat those cases for which
the hospital does not get. paid by the
city and county. Besides, tie hos
pital Is doing always its share for
charity and certainly is always glad
to do SO and assist in any way pos
sible those who are unfortunate
enough to have to ask for 1t.
"All doctors give their services free
to all city and county patients as well
as charity cases and certainly deserve
good deal of credit. 49,.

Married Men Not All Exempt
tFrom The Providence Joprrap

Among other misconceptions of the selec-
tive military service law is the error OF
thinking that married men coming within
the registration age limits will not be called
to the colors so long as there are single
men available among the ten millions alto
gether enrolled.
The Washington authorities announce that
the process of selection contemplates the
exemption of single men who have to sup
port dependents and the non-exemption OF
married men whose families do not rely on
the earnings of the husband for their living
Like various other circumstances and condi-
tions, this phase Of the selective process
rests largely in the discretion Of the Presi-
dent and the War Department. Naturally
there are some married men particularly
desirable for military service who will be
preferred to other married men enjoying In
dependent means, but lacking special mill
tary qualifications.
A common sense Interpretation of the law
within the wide latitude vouchsafed to the
commander in chief is expected, and IL it
is not realized or if political pull or any
other influence is allowed TO creep into the
selectve method the men responsible will
not remain long in doubt as to where the
country stands.

organisms; we are confronted with all the
difficulties natural to little understood
branch of inquiry, and constant menace
may stop phenomena" And he goes on TO
remind his readers how "a threat OF Yep
pelin frightfulness serves to keep our
streets dangerously dark; threat Of SUBJ
marine piracy tends to remove commerce
from the ocean," Would you rob the as
tronomer of his telescope? Why, then, rob
the occultist of his necessary atmosphere!
That, in effect, is the argument OF this
conscientious man of science, and he is
quite satisfied that the prejudice against
spiritism is due simply to the novelty OF
this field of inquiry, "for every fresh TACT
must" he argues, "have been occult at one
time. else no discovery would have been
needed"
The argument is plausible, but unfortu-
nately the progress of this supposedly new
inquiry cannot bear close comparison
with the progress of other inquiries. The
distinction has soon been made apparent to
vast majority Of the scientific men who
have taken the pains to enter into IT.
Simon Newcomb, the first president of the
American Society for Psychical Research,
found this out quickly when he began to
study the publications of the society OF
which Sir Oliver Lodge is so distinguished
a member. He relates his experience in
his "reminiscences:
The result was far from hopeful. found
that the phenomena brought out lacked that
Conference and defniteness which is charac-
teristic of scientific truths. could
not feel any assurance that the society, with
all its diligence, had done more than add to
the mass Of mistakes, misapprehenslons OF
fact, exaggerations, illusions, tricks and
condolences of which human experience
is full.
He suggested further inquiry, however,
and proposed some simple precautions to
eliminate error in the examination of one
small group Of phenomena. His proposal
was apparently not received with enthusl-
asm. He himself had an opportunity to in
vestigate at least one great wonder which
had puzzled many and of which he had
most surprising account from a number OF
trained scientific men," The result was
by no means encouraging. In fact, the
phenomena which were so perplexing at
first proved to be in no sense superior
NAL" when repeated in laboratory I'M
der such stringent conditions as would be
accepted as indispensable in any other field
of inquiry. After some years Professor
Newcomb found himself more than ever
confirmed in his skepticism and abandoned
further inquiry as fruitless.
For the rest, Sir Oliver Lodge ought not
to be troubled about the fate Of fortune
tellers and their kin. He himself has dab
bled for years in psychic research with i'm
punity, if without much profit, and if he
has not been discouraged by the cynicism
of the learned societies is it likely that in
carnate spirits will be cowed by mortal
police magistrates?

Exit Olga, the Nihilist
(From The London Globe

Czarism having vanished from the Russian
scheme, we are preparing to take leave OF
several friends long endeared to US by many
a novel and short story. We shall miss
Olga, the beautiful Nihilist, very much. She
had SO many tones of voice, but her chief
tones were either languorous or tense.
The former was used when she was striv-
ing to fascinate the tall young Englishman
from the embassy in Petrograd; the latter
when Olga was getting on with her life
work of blowing up disagreeable governors
with bombs.
We generally noticed it was Olga who was
selected to project the disintegrating missile
into the bad governors sleigh. Her men
friends simply sat around and egged her on
and alluded to her in admirng tones as the
daughter of freedom" Cor of the "revolu-
ton" or something). We also noticed an
other thing about Olga, and that was that
if she was named Olga she was called Vera
Or vice versa.
But, Olga or Vera, we shall miss her very
much, with her eyes dark as night" but
never as cold as some of the nights we have
been having lately. We never knew how
much we liked her till we read real Russian
novel and found nobody in it resembling
her at all.
