be able to produce. The Courier
urges its readers to buy coal for
the winter without delay and at
the present prices, rather than
wait for government control to
reduce the figures.
It may be possible for nation
al coal controller to pool all the
coal producing and Transporting
agencies in America and effect
reduction in price. But such
reduction, if it is brought about,
will be a small one as far as the
small user Of coal is concerned.
And on the other hand, it may
not be possible to bring about any
reduction. The appointment Of a
controller is an experiment and
no one can foretell the success of
the plan with any degree Of &C
curacy.
The law of supply and demand
is as immutable as the Ten Com
mandments. 1t has governed the
coal industry for generations, and,
in the last analysis, it will con-
tinue to govern it. whether fed
eral control exists or not. II the
demand exceeds the supply,
someone must be without coal.
and the only way to escape the
effects of shortage is to buy
now.
If government control does
anything to assist the private
consumer. It will be to direct the
distribution in sSch a way that a
supply may be found in retail
yards throughout the winter, from
which the improvident house
holder may obtain his current
supply. This benefit if it can be
obtained for the consumer by the
government, will far outweigh
any minor decrease from present

SCOUTS ARE ApAcHEs

Eli Paso, Texas, July 21.--Indian scouts mentioned in todays dispatch es from the American army on the Marne are Apaches, recruited from the White Mountain reservation cf eastern Arizona.
 Many of them had been acquainted with the mountains, deserts and trails of Chihuahua since the Geron- imo campaign and were obtained by General Pershing in 1916, when he went into Mexico after Francisco Villa and his followers. Following the attack by Villa on Columbus. N. M, a company of the Apaches was gathered at Fort Apache, Ariz. The Indians, garbed in their picturesque tribal costumes and mounted on their own ponies, rode 40 miles to the Santa Fe railroad at Holbrook, Ariz., held a war dance all night and en- trained the following morning for Columbus, where they were given regulation army uniforms. All were provided with wrist watches, which they prized highly.
 The scout company did effective work in Mexico, both in trailing ban dits and engaging them when en- countered
 When the expeditionary forces went to France the Indian scouts manifested willingness to go along to hunt Germans, and General Persh- ing took them with him.

SORT OF AMERICANS IN FRANCE

Arkansas Gazette.
 In the war news published yester- day there was one of those shining incidents that win contemporary ad- miration and deserve to be remem- bered for the future.
 American forces south of the Marne had been forced back by the Germans. The French commander in- formed the American general-his name was not given by the dis patches-that these early German success could not have any great effect on the fate of the battle; that it was understood perfectly that after hard fighting the Ameri- cans had slowly retired and that it was not expected that they im- mediately launch a counter-attack He added that a counter-attack could be postponed without risk and that it might be better to give the American troops an hours rest.
 But the American general answered with this message:
 "We regret being unable on this occasion to follow the counsels of our masters, the French, but the American flag has been forced to retire. This is uncomfortable and none of our sol diers would understand their not be- ing asked to do whatever is necessary to re-establish situation which is humiliating to us and unacceptable to our country's honor. We are going to counter r-attack"
 They did counter attack and they not only recovered the lost ground, but took an additional half mile for good measure.
 Who can doubt what Americas par ticipation in this war is going to mean when we have leaders and sol diers like those that have thrilled the nation with this exhibition of uncon- querable spirit?

for women who are doing their bit in the munitions plants. trim and with out any unnecessary fullness what ever. Ther are service uniforms for women who are driving ambulances or motors for the transportation or troops. Each is different and each is in itself an indication of the times.
 When we work in our gardens (and of course we all have gardens this year) we wear a smock, per haps, with very short skirt and wide brimmed sun hat. Perhaps. however, we prefer boomers as be- ing less troublesome than a skirt. It is all a matter of personal taste, and which we feel the most com fortable in.
 Here is an illustration of work suit for women which has been adopted the United States govern ment, to be worn in munitions plants where flying skirts are danger on account of the machinery. There IS a cap to protect the hair, blouse and trouserettes. The blouse is fin- ished at the waist line with belt, and the trouserettes button to this belt. There are quite as many pock- cts on this suit as on mans suit, and they are in just the right places.
 For those hours when we rest from our labors there must be the most comfortable of costumes. The dressing gown or negligee of today is always included in the war time wardrobe It need not be elaborate. far from it! but it must be pretty and becoming, for it is in these times of relaxation that we need the con trast afforded by frills and dainty coIors. There are fascinating little slip over jackets to be worn over skirts of satin or crepe de chine. The sleeves are always loose and flowing. and the girdle, if there is one. is fashioned in rather medieval lines For very warm days the wash kimona is best. Dotted Swiss or

WOMEN ANSWER THE
 CALL OF THE COSTUME

New York, July 23.-Isn't it won derful to think of the vast army of women that is standing behind our army of men? Everywhere one sees poster of "The Women's Land Army of America" and the thousand and doing so we'll Just the one subject of the canning kitchens (they are being run by the communities at large) is interesting from the scien- tific standpoint from the strides made in canning according to the instructions issued by the govern ment.
 Of course, in this day of efficiency, it would be ridiculous for the women to wear costumes that are suitable only for the hours of recreation. Ruffles and furbelows are out of place in the kitchen, and so the working dress has come into a very prominent place of the wardrobe of the woman who is doing things.
 Our time is all planned out, so much for the Red Cross, so much for the Canteen, so much for the Can ming Kitchen and of course, so much for our own homes and the duties that we must perform there. Our wordrobes, too, are carefully planned. We have our Red Cross apron and cap, our canteen apron and cap (for the cap plays as important a part as the apron these days) and the apron and cap that we wear in the canning
