wealthy mother for marrying be

PROPAGANDA TO INJURE
ANTHRACITE INDUSTRY

Evidence accumulates of very sub
tie but none the less active propaganda
to interfere with the production of
anthracite. 1t is giving much anxiety
to the industry, not only to the opera
tors, who are striving in every way TO
maintain and, if possible, expand the
production, but also to the district
presidents of the United Mine Workers
who are constantly encountering both
covert and open acts calculated to Gre
ate discord in the labor ranks.
Whether knowingly, or otherwise,
some distinguished members of the
United Mine Workers are acting as in
surgents and in ways calculated to
give aid and comfort to the enemy by
causing a curtailment of anthracite
output. These men have been most ac-
tive in and around Shamokin, Wilkes
Barre and Pottsville. In several cases
meetings have been held and resoIu
tions passed. which on their face look
like earnest efforts to forward the pro-
duction of coal, but which, in effect,
tend to foment trouble.
One such meeting was held at
Wilkes-B Barre this week. 1t was de-
clared that the operators are doing
things to interfere with production of
coal and to impose hard living condi-
tions upon the mine-workers. Such, of
course, is wholly false. If neither pat
riotic impulses nor duty to the public
entered into the matter, cold dollars
and cents considerations would urge
the anthracite industry to get the very
maximum output. The fact is that it
is straining every nerve for such re-
suit.
There are /. w. w. influences at
work throughout the anthracite re-
gions and they are trying to work
their way into the miners union, for
tunately with very little success.
There have been cases where cars were
started on grades, sometimes with the
result that costly smash-ups occurred.
Very close watch is being kept in and
about the mines and the railroads to
prevent malicious acts.
German agents have expended mil
lions of dollars to interfere with war

ONLY BIT OF RUINED WALL
All That Remains of Castle That Was
the Birthplace of ScotIand's
Hero, Robert Bruce.

Turnberry castle, on the coast of
Ayrshire, Scotland, now but a bit of
ruined wall near the lighthouse, was
the birthplace and early home of Rob-
ert Bruce, whose father and mother
combined in themselves the earldoms
of Annandale and Carrick or royal
lineage-the titles still being retained
by the present royal family of the
United Kingdom
In ancient times this old castle was
large and strong. In the early part of
Bruce's career Turnberry was held
by an English force. Bruce through
mistaken signal, came to take the
old familiar place, though his men
were many too few for the task. Dis
daining to give it up, however, he kept
up an irregular war, sometimes being
driven TO refuge in the mountains or
even in the wilds of distant loch.
At length he gathered together
enough men to take Turnberry castle,
which act was the beginning of his
triumphant progress through Ayrshire
and Stirlingshire, which finally ended
with Bannockburn's tremendous vic
tory.
1t is hard to realize the oldtime i'm
portance of Turnberry, now that the
visitor must search long before he can
come across its few battered remains.

AT THE COLONIAL TOMORROW

Clara Kimball Young, in a powerful
" tense perturbation of Cynthia
Stockley's popular novel, THE Claw
will be the superb attraction at the
Colonial, tomorrow evening.
In The Claw" Clara Kimball Young
appears as Mary Saurin, the brave
Irish girl who, while crossing the wild
veldt, is confronted with the choice of
passing the night in the stable in COM
pany with the mules and their
drunken driver, or remaining alone in
the wagon on the trail at the mercy of
any providers from the jungle.
The Claw" is a thrilling tale of life

preparations. They have not halted at
any act to secure delay in the Ameri-
can preparations. The great mass of
mine-workers are very strongly loyal
and patriotic las evidenced in many
ways, as at Hazelton the other day
when 80 men who had been put on the
deferred draft class and to prevent
whose departure, police were stationed
helped themselves get pulled through
the car windows after the train had
started.
Therefore, neither the mine-workers
nor their leaders are ready to tolerate
measures calculated to interfere with
coal production. 1t is recognized that
at no point Hun propaganda strike
more successfully at the allied cause
than through cutting down coal pro-
duction at a time when every ton
counts almost as important as a rife.
United States secret service agents
have gone into the anthracite region
to see what can be done.

Food Quotas.

The man who works hard needs in a

try, cheese, dried vegetables, fish or
eggs. To vary the above he may count
every glass of milk drunk equal to an
ounce of any one of the others. The
soldiers, either in home or military life,
must have four pounds of fresh fruit
and vegetables in order to keep the
bony structure in good condition. He

full of fat (this includes butter, oil,
the fat of meat eaten or any other fat
in the daily diet) to keep him warm,

necessary amount of driving power, he

THE VALUE OF
OLD FURNITURE

Keep it,
Old furniture is valuable now.

Germany
Over there, old furniture brings five
to ten times the former value.
Trade in old furniture is brisk
among the Teutons at the present
time.
Buyers are securing the country, it
is reported, paying big prices and sell
ing at big profit.
The authorities have tried in vain
to put an end to this grab and graft

This is very difficult, as has been
the case also with attempts TO stop il
licit trade in foodstuffs.
Maximum prices, municipal control
and other drastic regulations have
been ineffective, it appears.
If the dealers raid dealers ware

half a world, the maxims that have
ruled much OF the lives of billions of
men and women for thousands of
years. The barren grandeur of the
peaks, the rocky difficulty OF the as
cent, are pitched in the proper key.
Unfortunately, the Moslem rulers of
the region have cluttered up the
neighborhood of the mount itself with
all manner of childish legends and

ant, they have not only accepted the
Jewish traditions of the spot, which
have become part of their great RI

oil manner of crude superstition.
Thus they will show you the very
rock where the children of Israel set
UP the golden calf, and another COM

to be the one smitten by Moses when
the wandering Hebrews were thirsty.
Exhibit G is the rock on which Moses
broke the first tablets in his anger.

the garden is sacred to Moses. Near
