CHINS

The chin is a one-story addition
built on the lower end Of mans ply
siognomy to keep his face from end
ing too abruptly.
But some petTerse faces end that
way, anyhow. In fact, chins, like
wealth, are unevenly distributed.
Some of US have too many and some
none at all The Lord intended us
to have one apiece, but whoever is in
charge of the chin distribution de-
partment has muffed his job.
This is unfortunate, as the chin is
an almost indispensable adjunct to
every face. 1t is necessary for whis-
kefs and things. The man who wears
an assortment Of them ought to be
ashamed of himself,

DEMAND DRASTIC ACTION
IN ILLINOIS ON HIGH COAL

CHICAGO, Aug. Drastic action
by the state to curb high prices of
coal was recommended Tuesday 20
the Illinois state council Of defense
by the council committee which last
week met with representatives OF
the coal mine operators OF Illinois.
The report said:
There is no excuse for the pres
ent high prices OF coal in Illinois. 90
Whether the action would be a re-
quest for a special session of the
legislature 10 give greater powers 70
the council or an order fixing a max
imum price was not announced.
The report called attention TO the
fact that coal which was selling last
year for S1.45 a ton is now being
quoted az SO TO $3.50 a ton. Wages
have gone up only % cents a ton.
This increase the report de
clares. cannot account for a jump
OF S2.15 a ton in the price Of coal
at the mines between July. 1916 and
July. 1917. The federal govern
ment has been appealed 70. but &C
ton may be long deferred. If no
other way remains the control of
prices in Illinois alone will be urged
and enforced if necessary"
