Magazines and Books for Wounded
Soldiers.

Wounded men in hospitals and SOL
dierS in environments awaiting demo-
bilization need magazines more than
ever, according TO reports received
by the American Library association
from its camp and hospital librari-
ans. From the same source it is re-
ported that the supply of magazines
contributed by the public has fallen
off materially since the signing of the
armistice. It is such a very little
thing for anyone TO do, just to put a
one-cent stamp on a magazine and
drop it in the postofice. They are
wanted badly.
For American soldiers, who were
wounded in battle and are now being
brought back TO hospitals in this
country. gifts of books are needed at
once. Every public library is a re-
ceiving station for Library War Ser
vice. Good recent fiction is most in
demand. Give books

INERT MATERIAL IN COAL
Percentage Of Ash and Slate Reaches
Total in Tons That Few
Would Believe. q 4

A suggestion has been made by one
of the large anthracite coal operators
that they be permitted to increase the
percentage Of impurities In the coal
BY 2 per cent more than the present
standard. This means that 1900, 900
additional tons Of slate would be sent
to market. To transport this increased
amount Of impurities to market would
require about 10000 railroad cars
necessitating from two to ten weeks
for Its delivery. The bureau OF mines
has estimated that the coal mined in
the United States. In 1917, had an in
crease of > per cent, as an average,
In the amount Of ash, taken for the
whole country. Also. that this In.
crease in ash content meant an addi--
tional loss Of 171h per cent In the eff
ficiency Of the power plant. Further
more, In some Of the mining districts
there was a much higher increase in
ash than is indicated by this average.
As we mined and shipped 544,0O0.OOO
tons Of coal in 1917, some 100000
tons OF this amount were inert mate
