Mysterious Injury To Man
OF Grants Pass A Puzzle

Brownsville, Or, Sept. 29.-Seriously
injured as the result of blow on the
head, Earl Lathrop of Grants Pass, Or,
is in semi conscious condition which is
battling mystery to physicians.
Lathrop is confused as to his own
identity; remembers the accident thai
caused his injury, but thinks someone
else was hurt. He speaks Of the per-
son injured as .'him.'
The young man was working on an
ensilage cutter when the machine blew
up. A piece Of iron struck him directly
over the temple. He was unconscious
for two days before reaching his pres
ent semi-conscious state.

Coffee, the Anomaly.

The price of coffee was one Of the
food freaks of war, and 1t Is again q
freak Of peace. When all the world
was yelling for food and when the
prices of everything else went up so
fast that the housewife had to use
new arithmetic every time she went
to market, coffee was the gentle friend
of the afflicted purse. Your rolls cost
twice as much as in 1914, but the
soothing beverage that went with
them stayed at the old price. People
who knew the secret of dulllng the
appetite with coffee taken upon ris-
Ing, managed to eat economical break
fasts. The poor home scientist, know-
ing that coffee Is food and that five
cups of it may be consumed daily by
a healthy human adult without evil
results, bought coffee and stayed
away from steak. Good coffee in bul'S
could be had, even in the fashiona ole
stores, for twenty cents a pound.
But, oh, the sadness of peace! That
very coffee, five pounds for n dollar,
now costs thirty-five cents a pound.

OIL Struck in England.

The despatch from England which
announces the discovery of an appar-
emily large streak Of oil on the estate
Of the Duke of DEvoNsHIRE at Ches-
terheld adds the opinion Of an expert
that there is more oil In England than
in Pennsylvania. OF course the first
American petroleum State is no long
er first I'm production; she has been
slowly going down hill, and the
1852, 900 barrels produced In 1916
looked small when compared with the
107 100000 barrels Of Oklahoma and
the 0O,O00,000 barrels which were
drawn from California's innards.
Texas. Illinois and Louisiana are far
ahead Of Pennsylvania as oil States,
and even Kansas, West Virginia and
Ohio have passed her out.
Withal, a production Of petroleum
as large as Pennsylvania would be
godsend to Great Britain. To meet
her wants In 1915 that island import
ed 500, O00,OOO worth of petroleum
and its products. To find any consid-
cradle fraction of her oil needs In her
own lands would be o great piece Of
economic fortune. England has had
some oil from her own colonies, but
the production In Canada Is COMPARE
lively small. and India, which pro-
duces about as much crude oil as
Pennsylvania, is a long way off.
TO strike oil now would be a lucky
thing for England in more ways than
one. Ships are scarce, and the pro-
duction Of oil at home would release
cargo space for other freights. Britain,
with all her coal, has had mine
troubles far worse than Americas
since the war began. A third point Is
the fact that the discovery comes at a
time when crude oil Is supplanting
coal as fuel From now on no part Of
the oil wells yield will he waste or
a. worry.
That there should be large pc
trpleum deposits in England is not
strange. The geological systems
which tend to Its creation are not only
In Devoushire but In Lancashire.
Yorkshire, Shropshire and Sussex.
Some oil was found in Derbyshire as
long ago as 1S47, when JAMES YOUNG.
the Scottish chemist, patented the first
process for the manufacture of par
atm. Yet nobody had believed until
recently, after American drillers had
sunk wells In English soil, that pc
troleum was there in large quantities.
Perhaps England is going to have
a Coal OIL AIRY.

gentleman. But he In not a diplomat

whether he was ever capable Of handling
adequately the affairs OF state in an ex-
ceedlngly difficult post such as that Of
Costa Rica,"
Representative PoU, from. whose
State Mr.. HALE comes, took Mr.. Roc
FRS to task for saying that Mr.. HALE
was not a. diplomat, and Mr.. RooERs
was quick to amend his speech by
saying that Mr.. HALE had been con-
sui at Manchester in President CLEvE-
LANDS first term. II Mr.. Rooms had
taken the trouble to look over the
biographies Of the other ministers
Plenipotentiary named by BRYAN for
service in Central America he would
have seen that in respect of diplo-
matte experience Mr.. HALE shines {;
for none of the others seems to
have had anything to do with State
Department affairs until Mr.. BRYAN
adopted him. Two of the six were
lawyers, one was n retired minister,
one a dentist, one n commission mcr-
chant and one writer. What were
their peculiar qualifications for the
delicate missions TO which Mr.. BRYAN
had them appointed? One was an or
ganizer Of a Chautauqua. Two were
Presidential electors in years when
Mr.. BRYAN ran for the Presidency.
One was an alternate delegate to a
Bryan convention. Four came from
the solid South and two from the sill
yer West. Isn't It evident that such
men are born diplomats?
BRYAN has gone from the State De-
partment, but his works live after

Workers Want the Extra Hour oil

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: The
effort TO repeal tho daylight saving law
through the rider attached to the agri-
cultural appropriation bill Is an at
tempt to steal our hour of daylight
which was given us by the passage OF
the bill last year, and which. though a

all time. as II is a great benefit to all.
The writer is informed that Senator
Calder states that IL united opposition

copy Of a telegram which our firm sent
to every New York city member OF
Congress:
We wish TO enter protest against the
repeal OF the daylight saving law. We
protest not only as individuals of firn.
but We voice the sentiment OF several
hundred employees. including both once.
selling force and mill operatives. We feel
that the mass OF the people of the country
are opposed to the repeal. as they were
greatly benefited by this extra hour of
daylight. There must be soma sinister In
huence at work when the repeal has been
attached as a rider to the agricultural ap-
preparation bill. None but selfish interests
would wish to take away this hour of
daylight from the people.

DAYLIGHT SAVING.
Protests From City Dwellers Against
the LAWS Repeal.

To THE EoIroR OF THE SuN-str: The
opposition to the present daylight saving
law seems to emanate from farmers
associations and perhaps from a few
isolated sources where private interests
have been injured by a change In the
hours OF daylight.
The effectiveness Of the farmers work
can hardly be materially altered by the
change that was made last year. al
though there is no doubt that in tho
case of those who conduct truck farms
and dairies close to large cities and
bring their produce to market in the
early morning tho fact that the sun rises
one hour later by the clock than was for
merly the case may cause some slight
Inconvenience. To a great majority OF
our population, however. the hour Of
daylight saved proved a great boon last
summer.
Not only did the change result in the
conservation of fuel, but the added hour
Of sunshine meant improved health and
Increased efficiency to millions Of
