Of professions have discovered new

Upon to do was discovered in a hospi-
tai. 1t was customary in one institu-
ton TO use a gas jet for making steam
in a Vapor bath cabinet. There were
many objections to gas, however. In
the first place it used up all the OK
ygen in the air. making the room close
and ~gas-heatery, and was apt to set fire
10 something. A hospital inferno
thought of the e~xpedient of turning an
electric f~1atiron upside down inside the
bath cabinet and heating the boiler
with the upturned iron. The scheme
worked to perfection with the result
that the gas heater was permanently
disconnected. When a vapor bath is
wanted the iron is inverted on a simple
wire stand and a snap of the switch
starts the water boiling.
From numerous clippings of novel
uses of electric fatirons trade maya
zines, and individual suggestions the
following list of things an electric
iron has been used for is compiled:
l. Melting parafine for sealing fruit
Jars and jelly glasses.
2. Soldering tinware.
3. Removing old wall paper.
4. Mounting photographs with
mounting tissue.
5. Heating element for hreless cook

COAL FIXED BY
GOVERNMENT
Garfield of Williams Made
Fuel Administrator
GO INTOEFFECT SEPT. I
Anthracite Prices Range from 81 to
$3.50, Advances to Be Allowed
For Rescreenlng.

Washington, Aug, 2S.-Government
control of the coal industry was made
almost complete tonight when Presi'
dent Wilson named DR.. H. A. Garfield,
president of Williams college, fuel
administrator, fixed anthracite prices
for producers and jobbers and set a
limit on profits to be made by bitumi'
nous wholesalers.
The final step win be to make regul-
lations for coal distribution and to
fix anthracite and bitumlnous retail
prices. This will be done when dis
tribution program is perfected and
when the federal trade commission
has completed a plan under which
retail profits may be fixed.
The anthracite prices fixed, effec
tive September /, are virtually the
same as those now charged at the
mines under a voluntary arrange
ment made by producers with the
trade commission. The prices that
may be charged by jobbers, however
will reduce present costs sharply
Bituminous jobbers profits too, viii
be cut by the new price scale set fol
wholesale transactions.

are permitted to add not more thar
five cents per ton to the price.
Other producers may charge an ad
vance OF seventy-ive cents ton o

the railroad owned mines, Thos
who incur the expense of re-screeninl

an additional five cents ton.
Bituminous profits for jobbers ar
fixed at fifteen cents a ton of 200
pounds and the same restrictions tha
govern dealings by number of al
thracite jobbers apply to bituminou
transactions.
The presidents order forbids raj
road owned mines from selling I
other mines and prohibits dealer
from selling coal produced by raj

KEEP ON KNITTING
Garments viii Be Sent to American
Boys in the Navy.


Because of the controversy that
has arisen between Colonel Thomp-
son, president OF the Navy League
and Secretary of the Navy Daniels
and because OF the statement made
by the secretary that no garments for
the sailors would be received through
the present officers of the league
some of the Bennington women who
have been knitting sweaters and
other garments have been at loss to
know what to do in the emergency
1t was evident from the first that the
difficulty would be adjusted in some
manner and that the garments would
continue to reach the American boys
in the navy as rapidly as they could
be made and forwarded.
One statement is that persons, who
have been prominent in the work OF
tlibuting as individuals and they have
volunteered to see that the sweaters
helmets, mufflers and wristlets reach
the sailors for whom they are being
made.
Mrs A. S. NJ Chisholm, who is
chairman of the comforts committee
of the navy league for Bennington
has received the following communi
cation in reply to letter to Mrs
Satterlee of the New York head
quarters:
New York, Aug. 81, 1917.
Dear Mrs. Chisholm Replying to
your letter concerning the controver
sy between Secretary Daniels and
Col. Thompson, president of the Navy
league.
Undoubtedly this affair has been
greatly exaggerated by the press in
general, and 1t is within our know
ledge that there is every effort being
made in Washington for an amicable
adjustment between all parties con
cerned.
We are continuing our work as
heretofore and we would, therefore
request that you continue to senC
your completed garments to us as
usual, and your garments will be dis
tributed to the boats as needed
May we request that you give this
information the widest publicity pos
sible
Thanking you for your interest ant
| generous cooperation,
Yours very truly,
Caroline l.. Morgan.
Secretary.
