take part, each with its full strength

unfair to Central II one Of the other
schools were to be given credit for
winning the high school championship
Centrals full squad had been pro-
hibited.
Under present conditions 1t is per-
fectly apparent, too, that the other
schools cannot compete on even terms
with Central. By gradual Improvement
OF conditions among them they should
eventually reach point where thew
can. but 1t will take long time. The
logical outcome Of the Straightforward
right now it seems that the point of
cleavage has been reached-is that
Central Will become the representative
high school Of Washington against big
high schools and prep schools Of other
cities. It was pointed out last fall in
this column that this would be the
inevitable outcome Of conditions which
give Central SO much the advantage IN
equipment and number of students.
However. in relationship to the present
schools, Eastern, Western. Business

balance up the situation but Central
cannot be blamed for not wanting to

would be nothing to prevent the

contemplated, but every precedent and

Hornsby's Batting Weakness

Manager Fielder Jones OF the Browns
says that the Cardinals first baseman,
Rogers Hornsby. has a weakness at
the bat. He claims that II pitcher puts
a slow curve tribe on the outside 1t
will baffie him. This might be true. but
we doubt it--with a hitter like Horns-
by there will be grave danger of the
slow curve being too slow or too fast,
of the low curve being a tribe too low
or tribe too high. or the curve on the
outside being tribe too much on the
outside or q tribe too much on, oh.

Undoubtedly the reason for limiting
the number of entrants to one from

SPEEDING UP COAL ORDERS
Why Head Of Fuel Administration 10
Seeking TO Get Supplies to the In
divlduaI Consumer.

Orders have been sent out by the
fuel administrator compelling retail
coal dealers to take the orders Of the
private consumers and move In the
coal without delay. Word had reached
Dr. Harry A. Garfield. the fuel admin
Istrator. that dealers were telling pros
pective customers that they would de-
liver coal ''as soon as we can get 1t,
but we cannot get 1t from the mines"
This Is one Of the situations that the
administration seeks to avoid-the pill
ing up orders toward the last of sum-
mer. In some sections Of the county
the individual consumer is already
making strong efforts to get in his
winters supply. Pennsylvania con.
Isumers In the first four days of the
month have placed their orders for
more than 100000 tons OF anthracite.
The dealers have done their best to he.
gin the movement of the coal at once
But In other sections there are de.
linquent dealers, and these the admin.
istration will speed up. The dealers
know their allotments, 1t IS explained,
and they must move the coal steadily,
otherwise there will be terrific conges-
ton Of orders next fall and winter.
Where complaint reaches the fuel ad-
ministration that dealers are obviously
delaying the stocking up Of the homes
the penalty Of the law will be enforced

statement issued by the department on
Tuberculosis of the board of control to-
day the tuberculosis problem is press
ing for serious attention ons the part
of the state. War conditions have
served to increase the incidence of
tuberculosis among the people.-but the
number OF enlisted men being rejected
from the army on account of the white
plague Is cause for apprehension. Some
125 Iowa men have been rejected from
the cantonments and camps thruout
the United States and discharged from
the army. These men have come back
to the various communities from which
they enlisted and some of them need
public aid. The Red Cross thru its
civilian relief service. is charged with
responsibility to care for these soldiers
OF their dependents, but hc.3e service
sections of Red Cross chapters are con-
fronted with the problem of what to do
with the men who need treatment.
1t is urged that immediate steps be
taken in every section Of the state to
form lines Of defense against tubercu-
losis. Hospitals should at once be pro-
vided, and the department on tubercu-
losis stands ready to give every as
sistance within its power. II Iowa
would prevent heavy mortality from
tuberculosis. steps must at once be
taken to control this disease. Rejected
soldiers and their dependents should be
adequately cared for.

How seaweed May Be Used.

If the war continues much longer II
may serve to teach the world that
there are millions Of dollars worth Of
things that are good to eat that are
going to waste each year because we
are too conservative to try them.
One of these neglected food products
Is seaweed. 1t Is used to consider.
able extent in Japan and in parts OF
England but nowhere is its tremendous
value widely realized. Here In New
England we are ahead Of the rest OF
the country, but even here we have
much to learn. The journeyer along
the coast from Scituate to Duxbury
has often seen seaweed drying and
nearly everyone has eaten blanc mango,
the pleasant dessert dish that Is chief
" compounded seaweed and milk
But the total value Of the products
made from seaweed in year In all the
country is much less than 100000. II
has been estimated that products worth
many millions might be manufactured
from the seaweed that decays on ouI
coasts annually.
