Washington. Nov. 15.-America is
facing colossal coal famine as a
result of the war demand
Despite an increase of 50,000,000
,ons in production. the country's out
put viii only half fill the years de-
mand.
The fuel administration showed its
alarm over the situation today in a
statement by Dr. Garfield The fuel
administrator declared the country is
now al the top OF its coal production.
Ii cannot meet the shortage by min
ing more coal. The alternatives are
these:
Either the munitions plants and war
Industries must operate on part time
or the public and non.essental in
dustries must go without
DR.. Garfield made it plain that the
latter alternative would be the gov
ernments policy
To secure the coal necessary for the
carrying on of the war the fuel ad
ministration has determined upon
these things.
J.. To cut down the supply of all
industries and plants not actually
engaged in essential war work
z. To organize a campaign of ed
ducation for the, benefit of the in
dividual user oil coal, urging the use
of every cinder The man who
burns coal in his furnace will be in
structed and advised as to how to
get the most out Of every ion He
will be made to feel thai BY saving
coal he Is doing his share toward
the winning of the war. The cam
paign will be along the lines Of
Hoover's food saving propaganda.
1t will be conducted by placard
poster and newspaper appeals.
"A survey Of the entire coal situa-
tlon completed To-Day, demonstrates
that the war needs of the nation for
fuel have developed to point where
the demand threatens to outstrip the
supply" said DR.. Garfield today. THE
annual output has been increased ap.
proximately 5O,O00000 tons, but the
consumption has increased lo0,nG0,000

When PuJImans Were New,

The real birth of the Pullman car
dates from the closing days of the war
between the states. In the Illinois

is to be found the following:
Eve are reminded Of a prophecy
which we heard some three years since
that the time was not far distant
when a radical change would be intro
duced in the manner of constructing
railroad cars; the public would trave'
upon them with as much ease as
though sitting in their parlors and
sleep and eat on board Of them with
more ease and comfort than it would
be possible to do ON first class steam

did not think they were so near full,

CONVEX LENS OF THE EYE.
A Burning Glass That Adjusts the
Sicht to VARYING Distances.


One of the manifold wonders of the
human eye is the convex lens with
which the focal distances of sight are
made instantly and without mental eff
fort. This lens In the eye is literal
burning glass;" as may be shown by
the simplest of experiments.
Let the person at midday hold a
straw against the face of the sun and
focus his eyes ON the straw. He can
look at the straw, with its background
Of a dazzling sun, and without discom-
fort. But the moment he looks at the
fiery ball of the sun itself subconscious-
ly the lens of the eye comes to its prop
er focus, with the result that a "burn-
ing" sun spot appears on the retina of
the eye, and it is said that few sec
onds Of such looking would burn out
the retina as If by fire itself.
In the subconscious adaptability of
the eye lens to adapt itself to different
distances lies its value to the human
sight. The man with camera adjusts
the focus Of his lenses by sliding them
forward and back. The lenses of the
human eye, by changing their curva-
lures, allow of one looking at fine print
six inches from his nose and in frac
ton of a second to look up and away,
probably fifty miles to mountain peak

Army Aviation Service.

Significant, in view of the popular
conception of flying as extreme dare
deviltry, is the record Of the United
States army aviation service from
Jan. 1 to Dec. 26, 1916. During that
period 7,OS7 flights were made by mill
tary pilots. In all 1857 hours were
spent in the air, which means that
more than nine hours each day Of the
year some soldier airman was aloft.
The distance Travelled amounted to ap.
proximately 251,775 miles, or slightly
more than ten times the circumfer-
ence Of the earth. There was no ia.
tality. Evidently these figures can
not be fairly compared with current
railroad and motorcar statistics. Con-
trasts are not needed, however to ac-
cent their import Sane flying is not
yet accident proof and possibly never
will be, but neither is it extremely
foolhardy.-Searle Hendee in Popular

NEGLECTED. FOODS.

Their More Liberal Use Would Be .
Help In Home Economy.
Among the foodstuffs that American
housekeepers have scarcely utilized are
turnip tops, radish tops, mustard plants,
sorrel and chick peas among the vege-
tables and the. cheese product that can
be extracted from whey.
The greens mentioned may all be
cooked like spinach or they may be
made into delicious cream soups, as
they have been for centuries by Euro
pean housewives. Enough sorrel grows
in the average vacant lot In every city
to make many purees or cream soups.
Chick peas are as nutritious as beans
and when served in broth are just as
tasty. They also can be made into a
puree.
Radish tops and mustard leaves make
a cheap and appetizing salad.
Professor Mary F. Rausch in a lee
ture at the University Of Washington
gave some hints about home economies,
one Of which was that foods in shallow
pans cook more rapidly than in deep
pans, thus saving gas. Another was
that not a scrap Of fat Of any sort need
be thrown away, but all should go into
a double boiler and be tried out for use
in frying or as shortening for pastry

VILLAGES OF GALIClA.
Where Family, Cattle and Fowls All
Live In Two Rooms.


The villages of Galicia are especial
ly interesting on Sundays and holi-
DAYS, when the national costumes are
donned.
The cottages are generally made of
stone or board plastered over and are
then covered with coat of whitewash.
The straw roof is frequently crowned
with green growing moss. which adds
to its picturesque appearance If not to
its healthfulness. Water Is drawn
from the wells by long pole balanced
near the center. These wells have a
decided old world appearance.
The interior of the cottages is usual
ly divided into two rooms. In one
room the entire family lives, eats and
sleeps; in the other, In more or less
harmonious contentment, dwell the
cows. pigs, chickens and geese. No
household would be complete without
a number of geese.
Around the cottages number of chill
dren are sure to be seen playing. A
dozen or twenty or thirty Of such cot
tages, each separated only by small
yard, make up village. If there is
marriageable daughter in the house

Vegetables to Plant
In the June Garden

Many people who have not started a
garden this year are wishing that they
had, says the Rural New Yorker. AS &
matter of fact June is ideal in many
respects, because the soil is warm and
seed does not rot. The growth is quick
and vigorous, especially if there are
frequent rains. OF course some crops,
such as lettuce radishes, cantaloupes.
onions, peas, potatoes. ETC., should not
be planted.
However, June is very good time
for such crops as string beans, bush
limas, beets, cabbage plants, carrots,
sweet corn, Hubbard squash and to-
mato plants. About July IS caulifower,
Savoy cabbage and celery may be set
out, and rutabaga turnips may be
planted. About Aug lettuce, turnips
and Black Spanish radishes may be
planted, and during the last part Of
August spinach may be planted for fall
and early winter use.
1t is quite impossible to draw up an
interesting plan showing intercropping
at this season of the year. when most
Of the crops are long growers.
Plant the beans, cabbage. celery.
rutabagas. etc. in rows two and one
half feet apart. The tomatoes. sweet
corn, squash. ETC., will need more room,
while the root crops, lettuce and spin
ach may be planted in rows fourteen
inches apart. The late spinach may he
planted in that soil where the string
beans will haye been grown.
