been misconstrued to mean that a.
close corporate relation between coal
mining companies and transportation
agencies is desirable. The report
continues: s.
= ON the contrary, the commission
was seeking simply to show that If,
sufficient interest is present, trans
portation facilities in existence can
be made adequately to care for slim
ulated production. The speedy move
ment of coal by interested transpor-
tation companies was pointed out to
emphasize by contrast the misuse OF.
rolling stock by other transportation
companies. The evils ola community
of interest between coal producing
and coal transporting companies are
fully recognized by the commission.
Directly as to anthracite, this is
shown by abnormal freight rates"
which have been secured by interest
ed transportation, companies for the.
movement Of such coal. Instead of,
being in the public interest," this COM
munity of corporate interest, there.
fore, makes for unduly high prices
Of coal to the public and has in it
the making of further monopoly"
In order to obtain corporation res
ports in more servicable form the
commission has been advising indus
tries uniform methods of cost ac-
counting, but because of the lack of
funds, this work now has been turn
ed over to the Department Of Com
merce. Reports from manufa curing
concerns, classified by industries,
were requested on voluntary basis,
but the returns were disappointing.
The commission points out the desira-
bility Of a general survey of corpora
=tions and adds that information thus
obtained could be used in enforce
ment of laws against inter-company-
stockhelding. and interlocking dfrec-
torates. While the commission in
some instances has interviewed to pre-
vent suspected projects of this kind,
it is said that many violations of law
will escape detection unless some
systematic Investigation Is made. -
Investigations of war materials at
the direction of the President have
been concerned chiefly with the pre-
paration and marketing = of meats,
grain foods and canned vegetables
and fish. the operation of produce
exchanges, coal and coke, iron ore,
iron and steel products. petroleum
products, lumber for shipbuilding,
cement, fire brick, copper, lead, zinc,

was just seven years ago today, on
Dec. IL, 1919, that Miss Arnold pass
ed beyond the veil of mystery which
has ever since enshrouded her fate.
Dozens Of clues ~hav. been uncovered,
and the parents Of the missing girl
and detectives in their employ have.
travelled all over the United States.
Canada and Europe on the trail of
false and misleading information. but
all their efforts have been in vain.
Dorothy Henrietta. Camille Aronld.
was the daughter of Francis R. Ar
mold, a wealthy manufacturer Of
perfumes. She was pretty, refined
and we'll educated, having graduated
from Bryn Mawr College, She was,
ais far: as can be known, perfectly
happy and contented with her lot in
life. &c ':s.a:-<s
Miss Arnold was &c years old when,
on the morning of Dec. ~, 1910, she
left her home, telling her mother
that she intended to spend the fore
noon shopping in the Fifth avenue
shops. She hoped to select a new
gown before returning. but said she
would be back for luncheon. At
Fifth avenue and Sixtieth street she
entered shop where she was known
and purchased a box of sweets. She
was again recognized in a book shop,
where she bought a copy of An En-
gagged Girls Letters After leaving
this shop she met a girl friend with
whom she conversed a few minutes
before resuming her shopping expe-
dition. : -.
From that moment Dorothy Arnold
disappeared from off the face of the
earth, SO far as any knowledge of
her Is concerned. When she did not
return that night her father became
| alarmed, ana teIephoned to all her
friends When this measure failed
to reveal anything regarding her
whereabouts. the police were notified,
but were asked to keep the disap-
| pearance secret for the time being.
The movements of the missing girl
were tracd to the point where she
| had met her chum, but the keenest
sleuths of the New York force were
unable to progress foot beyond that
point.
In january. the newspapers were
notified and the Arnold case. assumed
worldwide interest. Mrs. Arnold
visited Italy soon afterward, suppos-
| eddy to follow up some clue, and later

Atlantic alone. These journeys were

MARINE GLASSES
FROM JIBB0OMS
OF new LONDON

. I
Hartford. Dec. 1.-THE ghosts, Of
generations of old New England
whalers-as sturdy race OF marin
ers as ever sailed out of the Sound
have declared war upon the kaiser
and his 1endish submarines; before
long they will be standing watch on
swift destroyers lending their keen
vision to the young men of Uncle
Sans navy, who are today scanning
the horizon for periscopesE as they
once scanned the South. Seas for the
tell-tale spouts of monster whales.
This latest declaration of war was
transmitted last week to. the; secre-
tarY Of the navy through the Jib-
boom Club of New London, the 400
members of which are successors and
descendants Of the famous old
whalers Of New London town. Among
the most carefully treasured relics of
1.-THE club are a number Of spyglasses
that were used years ago by the skip
pers Of old whalers which haveHlong
since been burned for their copper
rivets. spyglasses that carried memoir
les of scores of whaling trips and
which the shippers gave to the club
when they 7hadnreturned to port for
the. last time. The glasses, inscribed
with the names and records Of their
donors have hung for years on the
walls of clubhouses and few IL any
of their former owners are still
alive. '-r
when it was reported that the. Navy
Department. through the Connect
cut State Council of Defense, had
asked for loans Of idle spyglasses
and binoculars to aid the navy in its
hunt for submarines, the members,
deciding that they were showing the
| same spirit their ancestors would

offer all the clubs spyglasses to the
navy for use during the war. The
| offer has been transmitted to Wash

ieasily with them as the old shippers
1could spot whales when they were
alive, their ghosts will chuckle with

During the latter part of November
1t was decided by officials of the Cen
trail Baptist Sunday school to keep an
exact account of the attendance during
the month of December and try to du-
plicate the record which was estab-
lished in 1878 under the direction of
Supt. John l.. Denison of averaging an
attendance of 400 for a period.
In summing up the attendance of
the five Sundays in December it was
found that the record was duplicated,
as they had an average attendance OF
400, and the exact aggregate total OF
1000 for the month of December. The
contest was not only for the purpose
of securing new members, but an at
tempt to get the lod members back in
line.
For four Sundays during the month
just closed the attendances at the
Mems class follow: 103, 106, and 101.
