Food Administrator Hoover is
row going to tackle the problem
of keeping down the Lrice of
oysters. One of the posters
which meets us on nearly every
street corner warns US in flaring
headlines to eat less meat and
more fish. to which category oys-
ters belong. And partly to heed
the warning and partly because
of the almost prohibitive prices
of meats an Increasing demand
has been made on The supply Of
fish and oysters. Speaking to a
group Of Washington citizens a
few nights ago Mr.. Hoover de-
clared that in the last analysis
price was governed b. the law of
supply and demand, a basic eco
homie fact which the food dicta-
tor at first ignored. Perhaps the
attempt to reduce the price of
oysters will supply him with al
other example of that fact.

The Alamo.

The Alamo is a mission church at
San Antonio, in what is now BeXar
county, Texas. In 1886 it was occu-
pied by about $50 of the revolution
lists in the Mexican war. Though at
tackled by 1000 MeXicans under San
to Anna, the Texans held it from
February 23 to March 6, when Santa
Anna took it by storm. All but seven
of the garrison perished. six of these
being murdered after their surrender,
and one man escaping to report the
affair. In this garrison were the
celebrated David Crockett and Col.
James Bowie. inventor of the Bowie
knife. The memory Of this massacre
became an incitement to the Texans
in subsequent encounters, and Re
member the Alamo." became war
cry in their struggle for freedom.-

Our Coal Supply.
signs.

It is not generally known, but it
is none the less true that coal is our
most abundant natural resource, de-
clares George H. Cushing in the
American Review of Reviews. Our
supply will outlive even the natural
fertility of the soil. q distinguish
here between natural fertility and
fertilized soil.) Our forests even
now are vanishing. Our iron ore is
approaching the exhaustion point.
We have gone through the rich lenses
and are beginning on the complex
ores in the precious metal mines.
But in coal we have, since lS4O,
worked out only one-fourth of l per
cent. That part of coal which is
gone is nothing when compared with
that which remains That is, this is
true if you assume that all our coal
reserve, regardless of where it lies,
can be made available by some
scheme of transportation to all the
people. no matter where they live.
The United States Geological sur
vey has measured our reserve at
something like 4,1SS billion tons in
the United States and Alaska. This
figure, of course, conveys no impress
sion to anyone except of his inability
to conceive it. To speak Of even a
thousand million of anything is to
get beyond human comprehension.
To speak of four thousand thousand
million is merely to multiply an in
conceivable numeral by 1000. Per
haps it is more nearly understand
able to say that more than 43 per
cent. OF all the coal upon which the
world must depend forever-so far
as is known now-is piled up in the
United States and Alaska.

The boaster, on the contrary. by
the very fact of his boasting betrays
a curious lack of self-contidence. His
boasting amounts to confession
that he is surprised at himself for
ever having done anything worth
boasting about. The discerning rec
ognize this and appraise the boaster
accordingly.
Also they know that even those
whom his boasting might delude
would be repelled by the egotlsm
which the boasting indicates all toe
plainly. This means that he would
find it hard to get along with others
and would be that much the more
handicapped for any genuine achieve,
ment.
If, then, you notice in yourself
any tendencies to boastfulness con-
slider their significance. Always re-
member that the more you boast the
less likely you are to accomplish
things that are really worth while
