70 BE STRICT ON COAL
Dealers Who Refuse to Obey Orders
VIII Re Put Out Of Business

WASHINGTON. D. G., December
10. Coal dealers who refuse to CO.
operate with the Fuel Administration
in its efforts TO obtain a proper distri-
button of fuel will be put out of busi-
ness.
This was made clear Saturday night
in a statement by Fuel Administrator
Garfield, giving the text of a sharp
telegram addressed to a Philadelphia
firm accused of decling to aid the adj
ministration. The telegram said:
Administration is advised you refus-
ed to cooperate with Federal Fuel
Administration. If this is the case,
administration will take steps to have
all coal shipped to you diverted to
other dealers who are willing to CO.
operate with this administration in
relieving the whole situation. 1t is not
a time when dealers can run their own
business as they see fit, and co-opera-
ton must be. given if the efforts of
this administration are to be success
full. Unless advice that you are will
ing to cooperate is given by 4
o'clock this afternoon we will arrange
to have all your coal now in transit
diverted to other dealers in your city.
The firm replied that the charges
made against it were false and that it
vas ready to cooperate fully.

PRIVATE AUTOMOBILE
OWNERS IN ENGLAND
CANNOT BUY GASOLINE

LONDON, Dec. 7. - An advertise
ment is appearing regularly in Lon
don newspapers in which Selfridge.
the American merchant, offers one
free filling of coal gas to all motor
lists buying their gas bags from him.
The use of coal gas for fuel is be-
ing taken up not because of the high
price of gasoline, 80 cents a gallon.
but because private owners are not
permitted to buy gasoline at any
price.
The coal gas is pumped into bags
that are carried on top of cars in a
specially built rack or tray that ex-
tends the full length of the tonneau
and over the driver of a 7-passenger
car. Inflated, the bag has a height
of about five feet. Some trucks, with
out tops, drag their coal gas bags in
trailers. 1t is said that several sub
urban bus lines are nov driven by the
new motor fuel.
No alternate is required for the en-
CINE excepting that a pipe from the
bag has to be connected with the in
duction pipe of the c~arubureter. The
gas is sold at a penny for each ten
cubic feet.

The first class in Vocational Guild
ance eve established in the public

WAR BENEFITTING THE
BRITISH WORKING MAN
Lord Leverhulme, Head of Great Eng
lish Soap Industry, Tells Future
of Nations Workers
IS BRIGHT AND PROMISING
Better Social Condition for All, Better
Wages and Much More Pleasure
in Their Lives

LONDON, by Mail.) Nov. 20.
Lord L%everhulme, the head Of q great
English soap industry the capital Of
which is forty million pounds ster-
ling $780, 900, 000), has very pro-
nounced views as to the effect Of the
great war on the future position Of the
nations workers. Lord Leverhulme Is
himself a model employer having pro-
vided for his work-people a model
town in which they live under de-
lightful social conditions, and having
provided also factories by which they
may secure direct financial interest
in the concern in which they are wage
earners.
ut may, | think,be taken for grant.
ed" he says, "that when peace is re-
stored workers will not be willing to
return to pre-war conditions of wage
and living. | am convinced they will
never consent to go back to them.
"The war has altered many things;
it has b~roadened our horizon; it has
given us new points of view; it has
clarified our thought; it has introduc-
cd radical changes into our social, in
dustrial and commercial systems.
"Most of them have for the first
time tasted and enjoyed the sweets
of life, the full fruits of labor; they
have grown accustomed to a higher
place; its pleasures and advantages;
they will strive to remain on that level
and, if possible, rise above it, and with
this aspiration | am in full sympathy
and accord. And if, after the war,
attempt should be made to thrust la
Dor back into the depths from which it
has assembled, it would be, in my opin-
ion, not only a disastrous economic
blunder, but a policy akin to a crime
against civilization and humanity.

majority of the industrial classes is
little understood by those whose lines
are cast in pleasant places.

MADE NEARLY $1,000 A MINUTE
George NJ. Cohan Was Paid s161 a
Word for a New Song

twenty-five thousand dollars for a
song is quite a neat, but not gaudy,
sum for a half hours work. That is
what George NJ. Cohan earned for his
new song, cover There" which he
dashed off in exactly thirty minutes.
He has just sold it to a New York
music publisher.
The price of $4,000 represents
s16l a word and $13S a note. A COM
plete opera, such as one by Puccini,
for instance, is frequently valued at
$4,000. The highest previous pay
ments a word for writing were 81 to
Kipling and SO to Col. Theodore
Roosevelt. But it took a war jingle,
done in half an hour, to run the
price up to s161 a word. And it took

matchmaking, soul-deadening, monot,
ony car be relieved is by the adoptioo
of a six hour working day. While the
mechanical machine would run fy
twelve hours a day instead of eight
the human machines, if | may use the
phrase, would consist of two shifts
each working six hours, | am a great
advocate Of this.
Il belieye-and my belief is based
on practical experience-the human
machine could and would do as much
in six hours as in eight, except in a
few rare industries where exceptional
conditions prevail, while the extra
hours worked by the mechanical ma.
chine would enable such an increased
output to be obtained as to ensure the
possibility Of same wages being paid
to the human machine for six, as ara
at present paid for eight hours work.
For it is obvious that the mechanical
machine, except for a slightly increas.
ed cost Of coal for steam or driving
purposes, win work for twelve hours
at much the same cost as It now works
for eight, and with but little extra de-
probation.

development, thus fitting the worker

GRAIN FED TO STOCK
IS PROD|GIOUS WASTE

LONDON (By Mail..l = British
scientists, who are investigating the
! food problems created by the war,
have discovered that the consumption
Of grain by animals other than man
involves a p~rodigious waste. No an
imal returns in meat anything like the
food values that it absorbs in the
shape Of corn. Even the pig, which
is the most economical Of the lot, re-
uuires twelve pounds of dry grain to
produce one pound Of "dry" human
food in the shape of pork. The ratio in
the case Of fowls is fourteen to one,
in sheep twenty-four to n Though
we must remember the wooll and we
reach the summit of extrayagant
conversion in the fat steer, which
eats Ga lbs. for every pound of meat
that it yields in the slaughter house.
These facts suggest the need for a
drastic revision of agricultural poll
cy. The grain feeding of pigs, Pro-
fessor Wood, of Cambridge University
maintain, should be greatly reduced,
or completely stopped in the case of
grain fit for human consumption; and
the same counsels apply to poultry.
In the a of sheep and cattle for
the market they should be slaughter
ed in a much leaner condition than
has been customary. This will re-
duee the tax upon grain, and render
it easier to avoid the slaughter of
milking cows. Professor Wood is
prepared, if necessary, for a consider
able reduction of the number of live
stock in the country, though the APP
p~lication of such a policy,-though, of
course it should be regulated so as not
to deplete the stock of high-class ami
mails for breeding. If the members
should fall below the point at which
the meat supply can be maintained,
he points ont that at will obviously
save tonnage to import ready made
meat instead of importing the raw
materials from which the meat can
be made at home"
The broad lesson of these facts is
that "the diversion of grain from
live stock to direct human consump-
ton is a most important factor in
maintaining the supply of human food
for the British nation" What is the
extent to which it a be practically
applied? There are some obvious lin
itations. Some of the grain fed to
animals is damaged or Of inferior
quality, and then working horses, for
instance, must have their oats. The
new milling orders for close grinding
have transferred about 100000 tons
of wheat from the animal to the hui
man side of the account. Professor
Wood estimates that it is still posi-
Bile to annex 1,500,0 0 tons of maize,
100000 tons of oats, 100000 tons Of
barley, and 100000 tons of peas,
beans, ETC., a diversion that would
make available two and a half million
tons of "dry" human food instead of
only one twelfth of that total in meat,
and thereby increase Britain's grain
supply available for human consump-
ton by 6 per cent.
