Government Reserves Coal
Fields in Alaska to Have
a Certain Supply of Fuel

Through the work of the genera.
land office and the bureau of mines,
government reservations have been
designated in certain coal fields in
Alaska. These reservations are in
tended to cover such ground as will
provide coal for government use, pro
tect the public from individuals at
tempting to monopolize coal lands or
extort eXorbitant prices for coal, and
still offer equally good areas in the
best-knOwn parts of the fields for ex-
ploration by private enterprise.
Experts of the bureau of mines, hav-
ing to do with this work, state that
the leasing units were laid out in com
paratively small blocks, which can be
worked individually or combined into
larger tracts up to the maximum acre
age permitted by law. Attention was
given to the amount of probable coal
of workable thickness in each of these
areas, the relationship of the area to
possible transportation lines. the quail
ity of the coal and the general condi-
lions affecting mining.
The future of the Alaska coal fields.
1t is asserted, is still somewhat prob
lematlcal. Along the entire coast the
output will come in direct competition
with California oil. the coal fields Of
Oregon, Washington and British Co
lumbia. and with hydroelectric power.
Both the Boring river and the Manta-
nuska fields contain high-grade btu
minous coal suitable for coking and for
N hn ha al Il
contains an excellent Ignite, suitable
for power or domestic uses, or as a
powdered fuel in furnaces.
Experiments have proved that Goals
from other states on the coast have not
proved satisfactory for use by the
navy.

Letters by Air Next Summer.

An airplane mail service is to be es-
tablished between Washington, Phila-
delphia and New York next summer.
The post office department already is
calling for bids for FIVE planes. Trips
are to be made daily. First-class mail
only will be carried in the beginning.
and this is only beginning. The end
of the war will see tremendous appli-
cation of the airplane to commercial
and other uses, and this will provide
employment for the large number of
aviators that peace will release from
service.

Cigarettes as Anesthetic
For the Wounded Soldiers

There is much difference of opinion
as to the effect of cigarettes upon the
soldiers who smoke them. A scientific
Investigation is said to show that Gig
arctic smoking has direct effect on the
heart, decreasing the smokers ability
to do hard work and to resist fatigue
On the other hand there is evidence
that cigarettes keep the men up to
their tasks.
Mrs. Charles II. Farnam, a Long Is
land woman. who has just returned
from Serbia, where she spent several
years In hospital work and where she
earned the rank of sergeant. deliver
ed a lecture one night recently in
Brooklyn, In the course of which she
said:
1.-THE soul of life I'm the Serbian army
is a cigarette. The men go through
the greatest agonies If they have Gig
arettes in their mouths and never
think of the pain. In most of the hos
pitfalls there is a shortage of anesthet-
les. When a soldier is brought in to
be operated on they simply give him
cigarette to smoke during the or
deal and he goes through it happily"
It is probable that both views as to
the effect are correct; the excessive
smoking being bad for the heart, and
the use of the cigarette being sooth-
Ing and strengthening in time Of ex-
element. trial and pain. The wound
ed soldier is always given a cigarette,
and seems to be helped thereby to bear
his trouble with patience.-Mobile

Light Heat Cure.

An officer in the Medical Reserve

Is SEWER CONTRACT
MERE SCRAP OF PAPER?

"Contrnc'ors have a way OF kid
ding the commission into giving them
contracts and then falling TO comply
with me provisions. and ! can see
no reason why they shouldn't be
called on to pay the penalty in their
contract for not living up to the
terms they agree to-" said Mayor
Hubbard at the meeting of the city
commission yesterday morning.
A sewer contractor had bid in a
job agreeing to do the work in 80
days. He has asked tor an extension
OF time "to make his warrants valid"
City Attorney Sneed explained.
1t was easy to see that the mayor
didn't like the idea OF violation OF
the contract, but when Commissioner
McNulty explained that the contrac-
tor had run into a stratum of rock
that hadn't been figured In estimate.
the commission was more charitable.
Let's give him chance" was
the decision. But the commission

WALLPAPER ORDINANCE IS
IN BAD WITH LANDLORDS

Tulsa's wallpaper ordinance occu-
pied the attention OF the mayor.
commissioners and a number OF in
terested citizens yesterday morning
at the regular session OF the city
fathers. which resulted in suspen-
sion OF the law for few days until
some basis Of operation can be de-
veloped that will safeguard the stu
alton.
The law provides that when Q
property owner wants TO paper a
room In his home, he must first have
all OF the old paper removed and GER
tain other things done. with an idea
OF making things spic and span.
This worked out all right until
some OF the property owners found
that 70 get the paper from the walls
was n much greater task than put
ting Il on. and in some instances
the cost was almost prohibitive. one
man said that IT would cost him $40
or more per room to comply with
the law.
Paperhankers and painters were
there In force. and round-table
argument resulted that made Mayor
Hubbard throw up his hands and ask
the parties to get together and see
II some adjustment couldn't be made
that would eliminate friction.
Real estate and apartment house
owners allege that the ordinance
was passed at the instigation OF the
parties benefited. rather than for any
sanitary measures, while the idea OF
the city administration was that 1t
would at least safeguard the health
Of the community because II would
make more sanitary conditions in
any home following It's provisions
