PREDICTS SHORTAGE
OF COAL IN EASTERN U. S

Another goal shortage next winter
along the Atlantic coast is predicted
by P. A. S. Franklin, chairman OF
the shipping boards traffic commit
tee. who appeared before the Senate
Commerce Committee yesterday, and
declared that the shipping situation
was like trying to put five gallons
in a pint pot"
Mr.. Franklin said that prospects
of serious coal shortage are in
creasing daily. Ships leaving Amer
lean ports are forced to bunker for
the round trip, he said. and large
quantities OF coal must be shipped to
South America, and the Pacific Is
lands to supply plants producing
manganese, nitrates and other war
materials

CENSUS SUPERVISORS
BILL Is DEFEATED

Failing to secure the passage of the
bill authorizing the naming OF super
visors Of the census OF 1929, another
effort will be made again next week
by Democrats behind the measure.
In a stormy session yesterday in
the House, the Republicans were &C
cused Of trying to filibuster on the
bill, which was defeated. The meas
ure authorized the President TO name
the supervisors.
A second proposal that the super
Visors be named by the Secretary OF
Commerce, with the approval of the
member Of Congress from the district
from which the appointment was made
was also defeated. A final vote will
come next week.

BEAUTY IN HOME GROUNDS
Much May Be Done With a Little
Care and Work, and the Results
Are Gratifying. =

The ground surrounding the typical
city residence is not a thing to catch
the eye in search of beauty. Usually it
is a plain eXpanse of lawn with here
and there a tree to relieve the monot-
ony and provide some shade. A little
%shrubbery around the porch is also fire.
quently seen, but often it is scrawny,
showing that it has been chosen at ran
dom, poorly planted and poorly kept.
This condition is so general that the
exceptional yards seldom fail to attract
attention to themselves, and incident
ally to the neglected yards.
The wal garden movement last year
led many who had grown away from
planting to revert to the inherent in
stinct in every person to see things
grow and to help them. Many were
surprised that their small kitchen gar
dens began to take time which former
ly went to outdoor sports, and that the
pleasure was fully as great. The bene-
fits are likewise as readily recognize
able. If this interest can be sustained,
it is probable that there will be a re-
vival of the home flower garden, and
more general interest in the beautifica-
ton of home grounds.

Men Insist on Eating Meat.

"There are, of course, wasteful fami-
lies, but most incomes are not elastic
enough to admit of much wanton
throwing away of good food" a writer
says in the Woman's Home Companion.
at is safe to say that a large portion
of such waste as there is is caused
by the simple, plain'-but expensive
tastes Of the American man. 1t is not
only the big Johns, but the little Johns,
of the country who emulate in conduct
the ranchman who rambled into a New
York restaurant, and, having read the
menu, clenched a knife and fork in
each fist, and, bringing them down on
the table, cried out in a fearsome
voice, Meat!
"This cry Of 'meat!' went up in tens
of thousands of homes after patriotic
women tried to put into effect the
substitute menus"

I'LL lY
lWEUURJl
SKINNED MILK FOR CALVES
Since Most of Fat Has Been Removed
in Cream Carbohydrates Needed
to Make 1t Balanced.

Skinned milk is a little richer In
protein than whole milk, but lower In
carbohydrates. Since most Of the fat
has been removed in the cream the
SKINNED milk will need carbohydrates
to make it a balanced ration for calves.
A good plan is to replace q portion
of the whole milk with skinned milk,
gradually increase the SKINNED milk
with some form of carbohydrates till
all of the whole milk is replaced by
SKINNED milk. Fine ground meal is
n of the best carbohydrate supple
ments to be fed with skinned milk.
Some feeders cook the meal, stir it
in the skinned milk and feed it to the
calf. After the calf is two weeks old
1t will eat fine ground meal and if fed
small quantities will assimilate 1t.
Linseed meal is also used.
Care should be taken In feeding
calves. They should be taught to
drink from the pail as soon as pos
sible. Nothing but clean vessels should
be used and the milk should be clean
and warm.

a reason-but Jim said equally
enough:

covering his two forties.
But something changed Jim's pur-
pose he had not anticipated. When
he got home he found q note under
the door of the little cabin, undoubted-
ly left by some wagner or special
messenger from the creek settlement.
He flushed and his breath came quick
as he read the signature, and he
pressed his lips to the scrap Of paper
with a fervent:

Mr.. Colby but maybe she's changed
her mind" The mind of Janice
Wetherell, a widow of twenty-five,
with a little three-year-old child, and
who lived at the little settlement at
Glasgow creek, was that twenty times
she had refused to marry lovelorn
jim Colby. She was wistful, stern,
sometimes harsh, when Jim ap-
preached her, but he never could
fathom her motive in turning him
away.
"Ill do it," cried Jim, influenced
suddenly by some strong impulse. "Tve
always believed that what Janice had
against me was my shiftless, roaving

Jim Colby went back downtown. He
had a deed to one fOrty-acre tract
made out to Janice Wetherell. The
other he put up at auction and Harley
Grove, gambler, Spectator, bad man
generally when aroused, bid it in for
n thousand dollars, and his sinister
eyes glowed as he realized the bargain
he had made.

An Editors Fondest Hope.

On the twenty-seventh anniversary
of the founding Of the New York Trib-
its editor expressed himself in q
paragraph that begins like a veritable
quotation from Poor Richard" and in
its conclusion shows Horace Greeley
at his best:
Fame is a vapor, popularity an acct
dent, riches take wings, the only earth
ly certainty is oblivion. No man can
foresee what a day may bring forth,
while those who cheer today will often
curse tomorrow. And yet l cherish
the hope that the journal l projected
and established will live and flourish
long after l shall have moldered into
forgotten dust, being guided by a larg-
er wisdom, a more unerring sagacity
to discover the right, though not by a
more unfaltering readiness to embrace
and defend it at whatever personal
cost and that the stone which covers
my ashes may bear to future eyes the
still ineligible inscription, Founder
of the New York Tribune"

American municipalities in doing the

Joke Was on Artist.

1t Is related that the late Phil May.
the famous black-and-white artist, was
once staying at a w%ell-known resort
neal Sydney, n. S. W., and he and the
proprietor of his hotel, an enormously
stout man, who was quite a local cele-
brity, had a slight quarrel. The artist
thought he would get W. by drawing
a frightful caricature, which he stuck
in n window just before leaving the
place. Later on, however, he heard
that the hotel proprietor had scored
heavily by having the carlcature repro
duced and selling thousands of copies
of it at siXpence each. Phil Mays
drawing figured also In the future on
the landlords cards and circulars, and
proved II magnificent advertisement.

Fuel May Be Cause of Cancer.

A Scotch physician has just COM
pleted an extensive series of researches
into the incidence of ANGER which lead
him to some novel conclusions. He
finds that in Scotland and the Scotch
islands the percentage of cancer is par
ticularly high in c%oal-burning districts
and low in peat-burning districts.
There are some exceptions to this rule
and in every such case he finds that
the peat-burning district with a high
death rate from cancer burns a peat
with a high percentage Of sulphur.
Thus he concludes that Goals and peats
with a high sulphur content used as IT
fuel have a direct connection with the
development of cancer.

During spring chapped teats are
