Coal Situation

DR.. Garfield, of the United States
fuei Administration, and other prom
inent men who. we believe, are in a
position to know, have called the at
Itenti0n of the public to a serious
shortage Of coal this early fall and
throughout the Winter. From the best
Information we can get. this is no
doubt true.
Last year we all put our coal away
early because we realized under war
conditions the demand that would be
made upon the coal producers to keep
the necessary war industries going
and we would have to protect our
selves accordingly. The past winter
was a mild one and no doubt pre-
vented d shortage OF coal, regardless
OF the heavy storing by the people and
Industries, and 1t is just possible, from
what we can learn, that the majority
Of the people this year have concluded
there is no Necessity of putting coal
away until the weather necessitates
purchasing.
The Information that reaches us is
that the shortage Of miners through.
out the United States will result in d
greatly reduced production of coal.
The figures which have been fur
nsshed us show that over $4,000 coal
Miners have left the United States
since the first of January, with many
more seeking transportation as soon
az transports are available. Inquiry
as to the exodus Of this class of labor
reveals that aportiop are returning to
their native land through curiosity,
some to look up missing relatives, and
others to contribute their help in the
rebuilding of their countries.
1t therefore seems that the necessity
be apparent to every house
to start at once putting away
a good supply and even with the imme
date purchasing on the part of the
public it is questionable If at this late
date q coal famine can be ayerted, but
it certainly can be considerably re-

Civil Aerial Transport After the War

that an adequate air service was nee

ION: Cost what ii may, this coup-

These findings impelled the British

United States Senator Fall OF New

AT the same time he denounced the

reasoning on the matter OF making

remarks, being in sympathy with bis

would actually weaken the rightiltl

against any concerted movement Of

Humane Education
Need of the Hour
fOur dumb

iNutnmg Dut what is essentially hui
maze education cen save the world
from the horrors of another cataclysm
worse even than that through which
il has JUST passed. rr5
For humane education is nothing
less than the teaching in the schools
and colleges OF the nations Of the
principles of justice, good Will and hui
nianity toward all lite, human and snb
human alike. Al generation trained in
these principles will solve its inter-
national difficulties as n%eighbors and
lot as enemies.
We are confident that moro and
more societies organized for the pre-
vention of cruelty to animals will turn
the work OF humane education in the
schools of their. states as their widest
and most important field Of service.
Train the heart of the child Alright,
and the cruelty from which animals
suffer will end far more quickly than
by Furnishing the ignorant and cruel
man.
1t is primarily the child in whom hui
n,ane education Is directly Interested.
The cultivation OF the spirit Of kind
ness to animals is but the starting
point toward that larger humanity
which includes ones fellows of every
race and cline. Let it be said again
and again that whatever societies for
the prevention of cruelty to animals
have done for the creatures below us,
they have done Infinitely more, fer
men, women and children in the re-
action upon their characters, trans
forming and e%nnobling their relations
to each other.
Fundamentally humane education
stands for the ideals In character and
life which are the goal of Christianity.
Al their best the church and the Sun
day school can meet face to face but
a part OF the youth Of any land. In
the schools of the nation, however, the
majority can be reached through
humane education. which raises no
question OF sect or creed, but fur
a common standing ground for
such moral teaching as all good citi-
zens hold vital to a~speople's welfare.
