''Now is the time to order coal"
The foregoing timely advice to
householders and others is given by
the federal fuel administration in
view of the outlook Of probable
general coal shortage next fall and
winter. according to the administra-
ton. The advice is based on infor-
nation received from the geological
survey with regard to general coal
conditions.
The administration says that at no
time this year has the rate of produc-
ton approached the required tonnage.
1t points out that the tendency on the
part of buyers to hold off production
is limiting production. Mines. 1t

Interest on Amounts Deducted.

The amount deducted from the
teachers salary is to be deposited
with the Treasury of the United
States and credited, together with in
terest at 4 per cent per annum, to the
individual account of the teacher, the
fund to be invested by the Secretary
of the Treasury until paid out.
The government is required to con-
each year that the teacher has taught
in the public schools of the District of
Columbia at the time of retirement
annually for the remainder of the
teachers life.
Any teacher who has reached the
age of sixty-two may be retired upon
his own application or by the board
of education. At the age of seventy
three-fourths of the members of the
board of education think that it is
for the good of the service to retain
him longer.
Any teacher at the age of forty
FIVE, who, by reason of accident or
illness not due to vicious habits. has
become physically or mentally dis
abled. may be retired, provided he has
taught ten years in the public schools
of the District.
Upon retirement the teacher shall
receive through the remainder of his
sum, which he has purchased out of
his salary, equal to 1 per cent Of his
annual basic salary for year of. his
whole term of service, and (2) an adj
ditional sum of $40 for each year of
his service. For example,. a teacher
who retires at sixty-two years of
age after teaching forty years at an
average basic salary OF, $500 would
receive annually I per cent of his
average salary for each year OF his
service. or IS times forty equals $500
(the amount purchased by the teach
er). plus $40 times forty, equals $400
(the amount contributed by the gov
ornnent), total of 1920 year.

In no case shall teacher who retires
by reason of age receive an annuity of
less than $3.50, and one who retires on

less than s420.
In case of the separation of the
teacher from the service before he ar

No teacher Is to receive the benefits
of the act who has not taught in the
public schools of the District at least
ten years or who receives an annuity
from any state or other municipality
other than the District Of Columbia
The bill provides that every teacher

the act. and that the act shall in no way
interfere with the right of the school
board to discharge a teacher.

Provision by Other States.

Thirty-five states have passed laws
providing some sort of teachers re-
tirement system. The majority Of the
laws are statewide. although mi
nority provide only for city or county
or other subdivision of the state. The
District of Columbia ought not to lag
behind IN this legislation.
1t is generally recognized that
workers are entitled to some form of
pension. This Is recognized by the
large employers of labor in private
enterprise. For a number of years
there has been an agitation to provide
a retirement law for all civil service
employees. The reasons for such a law
apply with greater force to teachers
than to the average class of workers.
AS has been said 'If government
clerk in the civil service is retained
after his best years are passed, he
may be given less exacting work.
The service will not actually suffer
II he sits by the window and does
nothing But school teachers work
is personal direct and positive. 1t
works for the good or the ill of each
pupil. To retain superannuated
teacher in the service is a positive
harm to her pupils and manifest in
Justice to the rising generation"
This legislation is justified as much.

MUCH INTEREST
 SHOWN IN NEW
 ENGLISH TUNNEL
Enterprise Will Take Five and Half Years to
 Complete.

London, April 12.-(Corrcspond- tnce of The Associated ress.)-In- ! tense interest has been aroused by the governments announcement that the long projected tunnel under the English channel to connect England ard France is soon to be constructed, The cost of the enterprise is roughly estimat ed at $100, 0,0O0,000. Some say years.
 \ commission in Paris which has been discussing this project also is considering the building of tunnels under the kosphorus connecting Flu rope with Asia and one from Gibral- ,, tar connecting Europe with Africa. The English Channel Tunnel com pany already has done vast amount of work in anticipation of the re- sumption of actual construction of tine tunnel to France. Engineering plans are said to be so far advanced that the work could begin at once. With the exception of the Panama Canal. it will be the biggest engin- eering enterprise of modern times. The total length, including approach
 
 miles. with more than 2l 1-2 miles of it under the sea. The plans provide for two tunnels, each eighteen feet in diameter, connected by cross galleries at intervals of 200 yards. The maxi mum depth of water on the route in iSO faeth and a cover of chalk about 100 feet thick would be left undis- turbed above the crown of the tun- mel to provide against danger from enemy attack with submarine eX- plosives The tunnels level below the ga thus will be about 2S0 feet.
 Insert Iron Tubes. Iron tubes will be built as the tun- nel advances. The extraordinary ad- vance made in tunneling in recent years, especially in the United States, viii enable the engineers to proceed with great speed. The rail way lines will be operated by electr- city as in the case of the Simplon tunnel unGer the Swiss mountain of that name, and which is l2 1-2 miles il, lennth. the longest at present in the world.
 Before .he war the quickest service from London to Paris was in six hours 45 minutes. With the tunnel the Journey could be made in six hours whatever the weather.
 Speaking of the problems of build ing the tunnel, English engineers say the sea itself offers no difficulty, that the only risk lies in the geologi- cal formations. The first layer under the channel is white chalk, and beneath this is a belt of gray chalk some 300 feet thick The great question is whether the gray chalk is impervious to water.
 The exact points for starting the tunnel have not been determined but cxpert opinion favors a spot just be- hind Dover and, in France, point close to Cape Grisncz.
 The tunnel will'be capable of hand ling 30,000 passengers and 30,OOO tons of goods each way in 24 hours. Ordinary railway rolling stock, in cludjng sleeping and dining cars, will be able to use the route.
