that this police duty will have to fall
upon the coal companies themselves.
Il is duty which should be willingly
and cheerfully assumed by the opera

interested in preserving those mines
from destruction as the government.
Therefore it is urged that the coal op-
orators. first, be careful about whom
they employ, and. second. 10 provide Il
regular police force TO see that coal
mines are properly protected. This IS
something that is OF as much impoT-
tance as universal military training or

cleared Vera Cruz with manifold
copies for all the reporters.
Major Macarthur, the army censor,
never has been given a real chance
to show what he can do in the art OF
censoring. because the Mexican expe-
ditlon didn't pan out up to full ex-
pectations.
But he stood at the head Of class
OF several hundred in 1908 at West
Point, has risen to the rank of major
at thirty-six, graduated with distinc-
ton from the engineer school, and 10
one of Secretary Bakers closest ad-
visers on the army general stan, so
he may be expected to hold up the

SEES SUCCESS FOR
COOPERATIVE PLAN
Housewives Buying Staples of
hme.SchooI Association,
Says Its President.

With housewives from all sections
of the city leaving orders with mem
bers Of the Franklin-Thomson Home
and School Association interested In
cooperative buying, there seems to be
no doubt of the success Of the plan
Mrs. N. H. Darton, president or the
association. said today.
Individual members OF the associa'
tion some time ago purchased guam
titles of staples for distribution to 9th
er members at cost, thus eliminating
the middleman's profit. The develop
ment of the plan is being watched by
many other civic associations here,
At present, orders from women liv'
ing in various sections of the city
are being filled, but 1t Is said this
practice will not be continued II II
grows any further. The members OF
the school organization are willing
TO assist similar groups to organize
however.
Saving Made On Staples.
Among the staples now being sdc
are macaroni, potatoes, apples, a sub
stitute for butter. and -four. A guam
tity of macaroni was purchased al
So cents a pound, and is being dis
tributed at that price. The usua
cost is IL cents a pound. Potatoe'
were bought recently, and are being
sold at more than $3.50 less a barre
than the present prices.
The substitute for butter, composed
OF nut products, is taking the place
OF butter on many tables in the com
munity. There is absolutely no diff
ference in the taste OF the nut pro
duct and the best creamery butter
users declare.
A saving of about 20 cents q pound
Is made on this one article alone,
The Board Of Education recently
gave permission to the association "a
use school buildings for the sale OF
apples to school children. That sale
begins today. One cent each IL
charged. The small profit made is
to be given to the playground fund,
Under the agreement by which the
use of the building was granted by
the board, parents probably can pur'
chase, through their children, apples
at that price. This would be cheaper
than at prevailing prices, it is said
when the sale OF one commodity
grows beyond the capacity of one
member to handle without difficulty
then another member will be ap
pointed to assist her." said Mrs. Oar
ton. 1--WE have every confidence that
our plan will succeed. Already there
have been some appreciable amounts
saved. I think that as long as we
keep our service question answered
as well as 1t Is now, there will be no
trouble"
Plans to buy more widely are being
considered.

Major Macarthur and lieuten-
ant BeIknap Await Some Odd
Jobs of News Supervision.
BOTH EXPERIENCED MEN
Louis Mex. Howe, Former
Newspaper Man, Also Can
Assist in Work.

Two live military censor are chat
ing at the bits at the War and Navy
Departments waiting for some odd
jobs OF censoring to come along.
Just now the censors haven't much
to do but sharpen their. blue
break-as every army and navy Of
icer is convinced they will break
there will be a fulI-hedged censorship
in operation from the drop of the hat.
Over in the navy Lieut.. Charles
Belknab is holding down the censor's
desk. holding It down with 100
pounds OF Drawn and muscle, some of
which. by the way, he is likely to lose
.if the expected happens and the
twenty-four hour censorship is put in
operation.
Major Macarthur In Charge.
On the war side, Major Douglas
Macarthur is on the job. He was
appointed censor when the Mexican
difficulty started, and when Pershing
came out he stayed on the Job pre-
pairing for the ironclad censorship the
War Department will install II the
break with Germany ends in war.
The new navy censor will be able
to take care OF himself in any scrap
with the press his censorship may
bring forth. He was on the navy
football team for three years and
was captain of the team in 1912, his
last year Then he rowed in the navy
crew.
Ten Years At Sea.
Ten OF the fourteen years since he
left Annapolis Lieutenant Belknap has
spent at sea He served successively
on the Kearsarge. Hopkins, MRcDon-
ough. Laurence, Maryland. and New
Hampshire, aud then in 1909 he had
his first shore detail. two years at the
/ torpedo station at Newport. He was
back to sea again in 1911. first to the
Guantanamo naval station. and then
to the command OF the destroyer Am
, men under Capt. W. S. Sims as flotilla
commander.
In 1915 Lieutenant Belknap was
| detached to enter the war college at
Newport, graduating with the class
of 1916. and later coming TO Wash
ington for duty in the office OF Ad-
miral Benson, chief OF naval opera
uons.
Like most big men of the husky
athletic type, Lieutenant Belxnap Is
as dociIe as a lamb. Some of the
newspaper men. popping bespectacled
heads into the censor's den for the
first time, took in his height and
breadth appraisingly, but they all
were Immediately disarmed by a gen
ial smile. o.
Added To the Staff.

operation, will be Louis Nick. Howe,
secretary to Assistant Secretary of
the Navy Roosevelt, and New York

Arr. Howe, by the way. holds all
records for tail and lofty censorship,
