.sRED" MONEY.

If money is any criterion, the Boil
shevik regime is rolling in wealth.
The Soviet workingmen are paid big
wages. But how much good that
does them may be inferred from the
following facts:
Last month beef was selling in
Moscow for $3.50 pound and pori;
and lard for ss5 pound. Bread was
SIS to $23 a pound. and poor stuff at
that. Potatoes were $50 apiece.
Butter was sS5 to 500 a pound, and
sugar about the same.
The result was that the working
man, TO matter how big ''wad"
ne had in his pocket could hardly buy
enough to eat Other necessaries Of
;fe were nearly as prohibitive. The
ituaton g said 10 be no better today
THIS IS iue only in part 10 the scar

cncy by The Lenine government. Gold

sent the paper currency printed by
the Bolshevik presses. The way the
country has been flooded with this
cheap paper probably has no paralle:
except in the paper currency issued
a few years ago by Mexican revolu
tionary governments.

OIL FROM COAL.

The gasoline supply, as everybody
in the business admits, is getting t.
he a. problem. There is still enough
gasoline to fill the demand, at fairs
reasonable prices. But the use OF TINS
explosive fluid is increasing so enor-
n,ouslv and the aavilable petroleum
stores are decreasing at such rate
that in a few years there is pretty
s,,re to be a serious deart1-un:"Ss
new sources Of raw material are dis
covered.
1t is commonly said that the n"N'
source of supply will be the oil-bear-
ing shales, of which there are vast
deposits in some sections of the co'ln,
try. The exploitation of this &c
source has already begun. 1t is si-ii-
pIy q process of pressing the crude
oil out of the shale and then reFin>
ing it in the usual way.
Now, however, a new resource is
hinted at that few people have slv-
en- any thought to. 1t is coal, es-
socially the kinds of coal that are of
little value when used as fuel in the
ordinary way. Chief among these Is
the ub-bituminous variety known az
lignite-a soft brown coat, about
half way between peat and the or
dinary soft coal 1t is full Of water
when dug, and crumbles when dried
Heretofore it has been thought o.
chiefly as a source OF gas and ..bri
seuetfes.'
Recently the United States Geo
logical Survey has been experimenting
with ignite mined near lone, Cali
fornia, TO see il it would not yield oi
ON destructive distilation.' This
tests show that he coal is remark
ably Sat" and actually gives 81 gal
Ions of oil TO the ton, along with GER
tain valuable by-products.
The cost Of the process is not g:v-
en-. The department seems convinc
ed, however, sthat it will be Drae-
ticable before long to develop it on 3
commercial scale.
The importance of this discovery
may be seen from the fact that the
greatest coal deposits in the United
States are the Ignite veins in North
Dakota and Montana, which contain
billions upon billions Of tons of such
coal, easily accessible and as yet
scarcely touched. If oil can be go.
