Coal Dust for Fuel.

Spurred on by prospects of shut
downs during the winter because of
the shortage Of gas, manufacturers in
the Pittsburgh district have been con-
Quoting experiments with coal dust,
which, they assert. prove that the dust
can be substituted for gas. The pro-
cess is to blow the crushed coal into
the open-hearth furnaces by means of
compressed air.
This fuel, although not as cheap as
natural gas, is being furnished to man.
ufacturing plants of the Pittsburgh
district considerably cheaper than con-
sumers' gas.
The Carnegie Steel company, realiz-
ing that there will be a shortage of
natural gas for manufacturing pur-
poses this winter, has installed coal
dust fuel machinery at "a of its "a
open-hearth furnaces in the Homestead
works and for eight of its Is open
hearth furnaces at Clarion. BY SO
doing the company will save 15,OOO,'
600 cubic feet of natural gas daily al
its Homestead works and 100000
cubic feet at its Clarion works, or 9
total of 21,0O0,O00 cubic feet daily.

DRAMA IN HUMBLE HOMES
Romance Beckons to Playwriahts
From TWO Story Dwellings, as One
Writer Has Pointed Out.

A big city ought to have big heart
stand, their own argument, two stories
high, row upon row, block after block.
Two young people came and started
housekeeping. Rainbows bridge the
little space from the kitchen range to
the potted ferns in the parlor window.
From the sidewalk you could see most
of the wedding presents. Gilt frames
there were, with pictures of kind, n
table of barber shop onyx, a piano all
shiny facade-upright, of course, or 1t
would not be tolerated. You might
poke fun at the painted globe of the
lamp, but it stood there a glowering
aureole of the affection of the giver.
Who shall write the drama and the
romance of three meals day, of wash
ing and ironing of babies crying and
chuckling, of children going to school
and bringing home their maltreated
arithmetics and their strange tales of
dehumanized teachers? Who shall find
novel between the shiny brown
covers of the little account book that
travels so often to the corner grocery
and the meat market, and who shall
read between the lines parental trepi-
dation over the rising prices and more
mouths to fill?
Just look at the little tikes who live
in the house going off to Sunday
school Do you believe in fairies? Out
of the front door comes a small prln-
cess. You can tell that by the sash,
and the curls made around her moth
er's finger and the pictorial hat OF
state occasions. The prince is re
splendent in the backing at one end
and a real part in the hair at the
other; and the dog mopes on the oil
cloth in the cramped, dark hallway be-
cause he cannot go with them.
Out into the street mother love trav-
els after 1t has said good-by, for moth
er does not care much what becomes
of her If only her dreams come true
In these her children. She stays al
home and works and grows pale, and
her loving sacrifice is all too Otter
thoughtlessly accepted. But some
times after many days, and perhaps
in far country, one rises up and calls
her blessed and comes home, and ther
she knows her reward even before
God calls her and tells her she die
well.-Philadelphia Public Ledger.

The Missouri university track team
defeated the Kansas university team
Saturday in their annual indoor dual
meet, 46 to SO.
The official list of home games to be
1917 season was announced by Presi-
dent Blewett of the Northwestern
league, as follows:
Les Canadienes of Montreal, cham
pions of the National Hockey associa-
ton, in the first game at Seattle in a
series for the Stanley cup, emblematic
of the championship of the world, de-
feated Seattle, winner of the title in
the Pacific Coast Hockey association,
by a score of to 4.
The outstanding feature of the
Northwestern league schedule as pro
mulgated by President Blewett is the
attempt to proportion the games equal
ly, avoid conflicts and at the same
time minimize railroad expense. 1t is
big reli # to the abominable schedule
which was in vogue last season.

BEGAN as SchooIteacher.

1t is not necessarily surprising, but
of every given profession, former or
present, schoolteachers predominant
among the popular writer's of today.
Among those who have deserted their
former work for the more congenial
and profitable work of writing are
James Lane Allen, who was public
school teacher and later a professor
of Latin in a small college. Parker
Fillmore was a government teacher in
the Philippines. Frances Hodgson
Burnett was a country school teacher
on a small salary when she began
writing stories, and rumor has it that
the stamps with which her first con-
tributions were sent away were
bought with money obtained from
picking berries. She found a timely
and vailed friend in Charles ]. Peter
son of Philadelphia, who paid her lib
orally for her writing and gave her q
chance to get before the public.

New Stamp Issues.

The number of new issues In the
stamp kingdom have kept earnest col
lectors on the alert ever since the war
began. The British empire, with its
numerous colonies, has issued count
less varieties of surcharged and new
additions. Even Turkey has issued
a new set of five stamps to mark an
Occupation of part of Egypt"
In Warsaw was what is known as
the Citizens Post, and the Germans
have suppressed the issues of their
stamps. AS a consequence, these
labels are very rare; it is Illegal to
sell them in Germany, and they are re-
garded as of enemy origin in France,
England, Russia and Italy, and con-
sequently it is Illegal to import them.

The Important Town of Roye-
British Make Extensive Gains
On Their Front.

After many months of hammering
at the German lines in the Somme Sec
tor, the British armies at last have
captured Bapaume, considered the first
and perhaps the main objective in the
long British advance in the sector. At
the same time the towns of lie Trans
ley and Achiet-Le-Petit also fell to
the British. General Haig's troops en-
tered Bapaume Saturday morning after
severe fighting and found the town in
flames, the Germans having fired it.
From Bapaume the fortified lines
newly acquired by the British evtend
to the western outskirts of Monchy-
au-Bois. From south of Peronne the
British have drawn new line as far
as Fresnes. In all, they have taken
possession of IA villages in thenr new
advance. The French have taken up
new line between Andechy and the
Disc. and have occupied the important
town of Roye, where they were en-
Enthusiastically received by the civil
population whom the Germans left be-
hind in their withdrawal, and have
reached certain points along the
famous Roye-Noyon road.
The forces of Emperor William APP
parently have ben compelled to give
up positions that they have occupied
for more than two years, because of
the terrific bombardments to which
they have been subjected.
The British forward movement on
the Somme front began February 20
when Petit Miraumont, along the
Ancre, was occupied and the French
began pressing forward from the
Andechy-Lassigny line on March II.
Consolidate New Positions.
In the early operations, one by one
small villages were evacuated by the
Germans, whose withdrawal was
slowly and watchfully followed by the
British consolidation of the new posi-
lions and preparations for a further
forward movement being most care
fully made. In the last few days both
the retreat and advance, respectively
have been considerably accelerated.
The Germans evacuated more than G
score of villages in the Somme area
before retreating to the Bapaume line
and they now have given up that town
and villages to the north and south o.
it, from Essarts to LIE Transloy.
French troops north of the Avre riv
er and between the Avre and the Oist
have thrust their way forward to {
depth of about two and a half miles
along a 13-mile front.

Overt Act Committed.

London, March 19.-The sinking of
the American steamships City of Mem
phis, Illinois and Vigilancia was an
nounced Monday morning. Fourteen
men from the Vigilaneia are missing.
as are some of the men from the City
of Memphis.
The crew of the Illinois landed safely.
The City of Memphis, in ballast from
Cardiff for New York, was sunk by
gunfire The second officer and 10
men of the crew have been landed. A
patrol boat has gone in search of the
other members of the crew.
The Illinois, from London for Port
Arthur, Texas, in ballast, was sunk at
8 O'Clock this morning.
The Vigilancia was torpedoed with
out warning The submarine did not
appear. The captain, first and sec
ond mates, first, second and third en-
gineers and 23 men of the crew have
been landed at the Scilly islands.
Bore Stars and Stripes.
When the American steamship City
of Memphis left port the vessel had
the Stars and Stripes painted on both
sides. She encountered a submarine
about O'Clock Saturday evening. The
German commander ordered the cap
tain of the steamer to leave his ship
within 10 minutes.
The entire crew entered five boats
and the submarine then fired a tor
pedo, which struck the vessel on the
starboard side, tearing a great hole,
through which the sea poured. The
steamer foundered within few min
utes.
During the night the boats became
separated and at o'clock Sunday
morning three boat crews were picked
up by a patrol vessel and landed
These boats contained 33 men, mostly
Americans.
The officers believe that the other
boats will be rescued.
Warning Shot First.
Third Engineer Thompson of the
City of Memphis said the submarine
fired a warning shot for the steamer
to slow down and subsequently sig
nailed for her to stop and for the
crew to abandon the vessel.
Ten or IL shells were fired at the
vessel, which began to sink. Their
followed a terrific explosion, which
caused the vessel to tremble all over
and within 20 minutes she sank, sterI
first The crew suffered a graf dea
from exposure during the night.
Knowing he was in the danger zone
Thompson said the captain kept thu
American flag, which was yards il
length, flying at the masthead. Nc
body aboard SENS to have expect'
an attack.
Torpedoed After Smelling.
The statements that the steame
City of Memphis was sunk by gunfir
and also that she was torpedoed az
parently are cleared up by the state
ment of Third Engineer Thompson
that she was first shelled and wa
sinking when "a terrific explosio
which caused the vessel to trembl
all over" occurred. This seemingl
would indicate that the steamer wa
torpedoed after she had been shellet
