Ignite COAL
RESOURCES TO
Be DEVELOPED
Bill in U. S. Senate Comes
as Result of Work in N. D.
School of Mines.

AS a result of the work done and
Investigations carried out in the
North Dakota schools of mines
laboratories by DIR. E. J.. Babcock,
dean of the colleges of engineering OF
the University of North Dakota, a
bill has come up in the United States
senate with the approval by Presi-
dent Wilson, authorizing the secre-
tary of the interior ITO investigate
domestic deposits of Ignite and peat
in an effort to develop commercial
Uses for them. st.
An Associated Press dispatch from
Washington carries the information
that the bureau Of mines is prepared
20 proceed Immediately with the To-
cation Of an experimental plant in
either the southern field of Ignite de-
posts in Texas OF the northern field
n Montana and the Dakotas.
When interviewed concerning the
situation this noon, DR.. Babcock
'tated that such information as he
had received would confirm this dis
latch, and the bill, which was intro
luced by a North Dakota senator
yesterday would tend to help in the
development of the Ignite coal re-
ources Of the United States. DR..
;abcock further said that the matter
u lOCdlAuS tue experimental plant,
n either one Or the other of the two
,reat Ignite fields of the United
States, that of the Dakotas and Mon
ana, or that of Texas, would be de-
cided by the government bureau of
mines at Washington.
An absolutely undeveloped re-
ource Of Ignite coal is to be found
u North Dakota. The deposits cover
'etween thirty-four and thirty-1ve
thousand square miles. many Of them
being 10 to Is feet thick, and son1e
ven reaching a thickness of 80 feet.
". E.. ]. Babcock has been spending
much time and research upon the
diving of many of the problems con
rected with the making possible OF
the use Of this Ignite for public con-
sumption
In view of the fuel conditions that
have prevailed since this country en-,
tered the war, and Of the way the in
creased use of Ignite has helped in
the relieving of the situation and OF
the possibility of the utilization and
development Of the great Ignite de-
posts of North Dakota, as well az
those of the southern field. Texas, the
bill which Is up before the United
States senate is one of extreme i'm
portance not only to North Dakota
and those interested in the develop
ment Of it's Ignite coal resources, but
to the entire country.

San Antonio, Texas, Sept. 15.-Indi-
cations were that the center of the
hurricane was north of Brownsville.
A report from that place through
army radio to Fort Sam Houston said
telegraph and telephone lines to the
interior were cut Off Padre Island
and Brazos Island were reported un-
der water. Point Isabel is surrounded
by water and the United States coast
guard quarters are believed to have
been destroyed, although the men are
safe. Reports from the Galveston
island said 1000 bales of cotton were
afloat in the bay, and that salvagers
were being paid $40 for each bale re-
covered.

Dallas, Texas.-Driving furiously
into the Texas coast principally in
the section southwest of Galveston,
the tropical hurricane that has skirted
the United States gulf coast for near
ly a week, apparently has swept in
land near the Mexican border Wire
communication was interrupted in
most of the affected area and the ex-
tent of the storms damage could not
be learned accurately, but there we're
no reports of fatalities.
Brownsville and Corpus Christi ap-
parently felt the brunt of the storm,
which has passed on into Mexico,
where it dissipated in the Mexican
mountains.
Galveston, where considerable anx-
iety had been felt, apparently was
struck by the edge of the storm area
and again the city was saved from
any considerable damage by the pow
erful sea wall constructed after the
1900 disaster.
Water was reported to a depth of
six feet in sections of Corpus Christi
and information received by the
weather bureau at San Antonio said
the water was three feet deep in the
lobby of a Corpus Christi hotel.
Isolation of Brownsville was COM
plete, so far as wire communication
was concerned, the only information
coming from that city being contained
in brief wireless dispatch from Fort
Brown to southern department head
quarters at San Antonio reporting a
seventy-five mile wind at p. m.
The storm struck Galveston and
caused the tideWater to flood the busi-
ness section and the north side of the
island to a depth of three feet. The
sea wall withstood the onslaught of
the pounding waves, however, and
there was no damage to the causeway
connecting the city with the main
land.
By night most of the water had re-
ceded from Galveston's streets, al
though an area of several blocks still
ran with water to the curb top. Mer-
chants declared their loss was not
great. Galveston marine circles had
no reports of shipping loss.

STATELAW TO
REQUIRE PART
Time SCHOOLS
Board of Education VII Provide
for Children Between Ages
of Il and 16.

The Rock Island board of educa-
ton is now confronted with the
problem OF providing for day part
time continuation schools for chill
dren between the ages of IA and Is
who are not now in school. Two
laws have been recently passed by
the state legislature making these
schools necessary.
The first law provides that where
boards of education establish
these part-time continuation
schools, all boys and girls between
the ages of IA and 16 whether they
have a labor permit or not, who
are not in school now, must at
tend said school at least eight
hours each week
There are at present 400 pupils
between such ages who are not in
school at the present time in Rock
Island. AS the number Of such
pupils is SO large it is highly i'm
probable that such a school will be
opened in this vicinity at the pres
ent time because of limited housing
facilities.
The second law provides that
these schools must be established
by 1921 and that in 1928 all chill
dren between the ages Of IA and

At the Illinois.

Grace Cunard-known through
out the world wherever motion pic
lures are shown as the serial
queen"-has completed the best
feature of her career in after the
War" five-reel photoplay in
which she is appearing at the ILL
nois theatre today and tomorrow.
After the War" is the most dis
tinctive production of its kind yet
attempted. 1t is an appealing TO
nance of the world war, without
horrifying scenes of carnage. 1t is
a depletion of a story Of unusual
merit, and points to one solution
of one of the greatest problems
growing out of the war.
What is to be done for the hun
dreds of children in Belgium and
France today who were born dur
ing the war, of French or Belgian
mothers and German fathers-chil-
dren who are living proof of the
countless oUtrages perpetrated by
Prussian invaders upon the femi-
nine populations of the lands they
despoiled.
In those countries today it is not
uncommon to find mothers who al
most detest their own children
children born in sacrifice-children
who ever will remind their moth
ers of the horrors of an invasion.
There are fathers who have return
ed from war to find in their homes
the children of their wives and
German fathers. Will they toIer-
ate these children? What will be
done with them?
This situation presents a prob
lem which will challenge the eff
forts of the worlds most brilliant
students of sociology. 1t is this
situation which forms the main
theme Of After the War" the Ar
COSY production which is bound to
become one of the most widely dis
cussed photoplays in America.
The feature deals with the TO
nance of Gerve, a beautiful. Gull
tured Partisan prima donna, who
had sacrificed herself to a German
officer during the war, in order to
save her soldier lover, Philippe
SARDINIA, from execution by a Ger
man firing squad.

Gerve had not seen since the war.
