proper objects.

Secretary Wilson Says
Way Paved With Honor
in Urging Acceptance
By Associated Press

Washington, Dec. 9.-Secretary
Wilson to-day sent q telegram to
John l.. Lewis. acting president of
the United Mine Workers of Amer
ica, urging the miners to accept
President Wilson's proposal for set
tlement of the coal strike. The
miners representatives are to act
on the proposal at Indianapolis this
afternoon.
The President, Secretary Wilson
said, had pointed a way out with
honor to the government and honor
to yourselves"
The telegram, which was ad-
dressed also to the members of the
miners scale committee follows:
II cannot too strongly urge you
to accept the basis of settlement
proposed by the President. I have
been associated with him for more
than six years, and / know that ev-
cry fiber of his strong nature has
been devoted toward securing fair
play for everybody and particularly
the underdog in fight. Every blow
he has had to bear, and he has
had to bear many of them, has
been brought about by his intense
earnestness in that direction. You
can reply thoroughly upon every
promise he makes.
But aside from that, as a result
of the stoppage of work in the
mines, we are facing the most diff
cult industrial si' nation that ever
confronted the country. 1t threat
ems the very starvation of our So
cial life. In this emergency the
President has pointed a way out
with honor to the government ana
honor to yourselves. If my judg-
ment and experience are of any
value to you. let me use them in ad-
vising you for the welfare of your
selves and the country as a whole,
to accept the way out that is pro-
posed by the President"

Jify-Jell differs vastly from
other quick gelatine desserts.
Each package contains a bottle

We crush the fruit, condense
the juice, and bring you real

That's the important point.
Flavor is mere taste, and often
artificial. The fruit itself is rich
in earthly salts. Everybody

42O,OOO,OOO PENNIES MADE
 SINCE JAN. 1

Philadelphia, Aug. 16-Approxi- mately 42o.Ooo. 900 pennies have been made by the Philadelphia Mint since the beginning of the year. and despite this enormous rate of output 1t Is not adequate to meet the demand for copper war tax checks" as the pen nies are called.
 This information was contained in a s,atemeDt made by Superintendent of the Mint Adam M. Joyce, who blamed the various war tax necessi- ties for the shortage.
 Even though we're working twen- ty-four hours a day at the mint" MT. Joyce said, i've cannot keep up with the demands of. the United Staees Treasurer for pennies"
 Superintendent Joyce planes the war tax for the shortage. "All the hints in the country are working on pennies to overcome the shortage" " he said.
 Asked the cause for the inadequate supply of pennies, MT. Joyce said: T think 1t is due mainly to the war tax. On nearly every transaction, you have to pay war tax of from one to four cents, and the people who get the
 
 handing 1t over to the Government.
 ''That is the real cause for the shortage. I think I know that there is a shortage because the mint can't keep up with the demand of the Treasurer"
 Of course, the demand for pennies has grown greatly since the putting of penny taxes on 'lollypops," ice cream sodas. movie" tickets and the like, but even this additional drain upon the supply of pennies should not.under ordinary circumstances, swallow up all of the pennies the Government hints have made. Since it first be- gan to coin money, in the time of the Revolutionary War, one-tenth of all the coins made in the United States were one-cent pieces.
 The total value of pennies made to date is more than s3,000, 100000. And yet at the last report of the Treasur- CT, the Government had in all of its depositories only about S177,0OO in pennies.
 Last year the hints turned out ap- proximately 3sO.OOO, 900 pennies. Al present the four hints are turning out in the neighborhood of a hundred million pennies a month.
 Superintendent Joyce said that the Philadelphia mint was making be- tween 100000 and 2,00O.OOO pen nies per day. This would make 2 total for p month of thirty days ot about 60,OOO,0o0 pennies. For the seven months since the beginning of 1919 the approximate total l: | APO, 900 900 pennies, or a total of s4, | 200 900. The pennies are put at tht | disposal of the United States Treas urer as fast as they are turned ou' | at the mint here

MAY DECIDE ID APPOINT LIEUTENANT Feel Necessity in Having Officer At Detective Bureau All Day. MUM" WORD AT
 HEADQUARTERS One Regular Patrolman and One Special Put on Force
 Last Night.

The request of the police commits sioners to the Common Council. to appoint another lieutenant of police in the detective department, is caus- ing much speculation as to who will be the man to receive the promotion. The commissioners, at a meeting last evening decided that the appointment of a new commissioned officer is necessary in order that the detective department may be under the com mand of a commissioned officer through out the 24 hours of the day
 At police headquarters this morn ing mum" seemed to be the word as far as the new lieutenant subject was concerned Sergeants Simon, Wheeler and Bray, of the detective squad have been mentioned as possi- b1e candidates for the new office, and 1t is not unreasonable to suppose that either of these men might be favOrably considered No definite in formation could be obtained on the matter this morning.
 Edward F. Carroll was appointed as regular member of the force at last nights meetinge, after his application had been submitted by Commissioners Primrose. Applications for appoint ment to regular patrolmen were re- ceived from George B. Goodwin and William Cavanaugh. No action was taken on these applications. Definite action was also postponed on recom- mendation for Vim. Sutter as a spe- 'cial patrolman. Sutter Is a guard at the plant of the Remington Arms com 100 applications were taken out in the past three weeks, it is rather surpris- ing that more were not returned at last nights meeting.
 A letter was received from the Board of Recreation, praising the work of Captain Wheeler, of the traf- fic department, in regulating traffic at the water sports carnival recently held at Seaside park. The board also commended Patrolman William Eos ter for his excellent work in captur- ing four hold-up men.
 Charles N. Campana, retired doorman, was presented with the American flag with which he was in trusted for 24 of his 2S years service Campana told the commissioners last night that the old flag will be carried in all parades held in the city, either by himself or some member of his family
