San Francisco Lends,

The honor infant death rate among cities
OF 100000 or more was attained this yea r
by San Francisco, WHICH, with n popula-
ton above a half million, lowered it's
baby deaths from 1916 per 900 in 1917
to 572. Seattle, Wash. was not far
behind with 63.4, although this IA an in

that Of the forty-two cities with popula :
lions above 10000 which reported
twenty-five are above this figure and

A Hard Coal Shortage.

1t IS foolish for some newspapers
and some public officials to declare
that there isn't an anthracite coal
SHORTAGE that there is merely a
manipulated market to enable pro
ducers and dealers to charge higher
prices. The coal shortage here in the
East Is not theory; it is n fact. 1t
is very serious fact. Before many
weeks it can become, indeed is liable
to become, a crucial fact
The statistics of coal shipments
tell a threatening story. The anthra-
cite moved from the mines in June
for example, amounted to 5,619,591
tons. This was a million and a quar-
ter Of tons lower than the shipments
for June, 1918. And in 1918 there
was none too much anthracite sent
from mine TO market June or any
other month. The only thing, In
truth, which saved the public last
winter from severe hardship due to
lack of coal was the mild weather.
almost unchanged, from autumn to
spring
For the present coal year the ship
ments of anthracite have been only
16,55G,221 tons, as against 20.123, POS
tons in The previous year. A shortage
of upward Of 100000 tons cannot
be regarded as anything but danger
signal. The time to ship hard coal ls
in these summer months, when 1t can
go from the mouth of the mine to the
pocket of the dealer and to the cellar
Of the consumer with the least posi-
hle interference with transportation.
Shipping coal In winter Is not merely
hardship and an expense on the
shipper and on the carrier; it is
hazard for the consumer. Frozen
coal Is difficult to handle. Snowbound
railroads tempt the diversion of long
haul fuel to local uses. When q COM
munity along a coal line Is short of
fuel 1t doesn't hesitate to take it from
long haul train stalled in the snow
or blocked by frozen switches. The
consumers waiting Mt the other end
of the line for that coal don't get it.
There are not at the mines any sur.
plus stocks Of hard coal for domestic
use. The great ma sses af anthracite
which have been piled up at the mines
are steam sizes. This in itself is a
misfortune. Steam sizes cannot be
used In the furnace of the ordinary
house. Practically its only market Is
In the Industrial plants or In hotels
and buildings with power and heating
plants specially constructed to burn
such fine coal. In former years this
steam size anthracite was used by
industries in cities because of local
ordinances against the smoke nui-
sance. The very use Of this steam
size anthracite In place OF soft coal
stimulated the production of the
larger sizes. 1t must be obvious that
If out of every thousand tons that
come from mine several hundred
tons-rhe fine stuff, which can be
used only for steam purposes-cannot
be or Is not sold. the larger sizes.

The Intervening process was thus
described in President WILSON'S adj
dress to the Senate:
Examine the Treaty OF Peace and
you will find that everywhere
throughout its manifold provisions
its trainers have felt obliged to turn
10 the League Of Nations as an in
dispensable fundamentally for the
maintenance OF the new order II has
been their purpose to set up In the
world--the world of civilized men,"
Here the Intervening Of the cove
nant and the treaty is deliberately
represented as an Inevitable result Of
the situation ut Paris, not as an arti-
fee Of promotion.
But in President WILSON'S speech
in New York before the Interviewing
had been completed by bargainings
which almost shamelessly sacrificed
principles and justice he defiantly rep
resented the Interviewing as an arti-
nee or trick planned In advance to ef-
feet a political and personal purpose,
namely, to prevent the United States
Senate from considering the League
proposal on Its merits apart from the
business Of concluding pence. He said
to the people In the Metropolitan
Opera House on March 4:
when the treaty comes back, gen.
tismen on this side will nnd the cove
nant not only in 1t. but so many
threads Of the treaty tied to the
covenant that you cannot dissect the
covenant from the treaty without de-
stroyiug the whole vital structure.
The structure of peace will not be
vital without the League OF Nations.
and no man is going to bring back
cadaver with him."
The question is a fair one: Is the
Presidents description, after the
event. of the reason for the inter
weaving entirely candid?

The Last Defender Of the Legality
of DuellinK Passes.

BY the abolition Of the military
court of honor the German National
Assembly at Weimar put an end to
the legal authorization of the duel in
Germany. AS duelllng had already
been forbidden by law in practically
every other civilized nation the &C
ton of the German Assembly means
the passing of all legal recognition Of
this ancient method Of settling dis
putes or questions of honor. The old
conservative parties, which considered
the duel as means Of discipline in
the army, bitterly opposed the enact
ment, but their opponents prevailed
and won a fight which the Socialists
really began in 1912 against the Kaiser
himself.
The court Of honor was a council,
made up of three officers of different
ranks, before which German officer
who became involved in a difficulty
with brother officer was bound to
present the circumstances as soon as
he had either given or received a
challenge. 1t was a court with which
the German civilian had nothing to
do. II he was pushed off the side
walk or assaulted or kicked by one Of
the lordly representatives Of imperial
German military power, or If he was
struck with a sword, as was the
lame shoemaker of Zabern, he took
himself and such honor as he might
be supposed to have to some other
court. He could not under any cir
cumstances commit the monstrous Of
fence of uttering a challenge to a
duel. And in fact he never did; he
left that form of combat entirely to
army or navy officers and the students
Of the universities.
The court Of honor was to endeavor
to effect a reconciliation between the
two officers. If 1t failed then the
German military code, as expounded
by the court of honor, favored as a
last resort meeting on the field of
honor. If one Of the officers refused
10 fight he was forced to leave the
service. II the civil law attempted
to interfere, and 1t seldom did, 1t was
the officers duty to obey the military
code and let the civil do Its worst
which was not much. --
Public opinion. however. sometimes
expressed itself, as In the case Of a
tragic duel In 1895 between two Off
GERS of the reserve. This encounter
was forced upon the attention OF the
Kaiser and cauGad him To make some

FARM POULTRY PAYS
SAYS LOCAL LEADER
EARN Poultry Life.)


Some interesting figures on the
income from poultry on the farms
have recently been published by the
federal department OF agriculture.
These figures were complied from ii
survey OF a6 farms In Ohio and prob
ably fairly represent average farm
conditions.
Doubtless many Will be somewhat
surprised to learn that poultry was
the second highest source OF income
on these farms. averaging 'si69 per
farm. OF which $13S was for eggs.
Nearly half the farms realize over
5000 annually from poultry and
eggs. This was accomplished. ae-
cording TO the government report,
without serious interference with
the other farm operations" with
prices ranging from 10 to IS cents
and with hens that laid only S6 eggs
year. It is not difficult to figure
the increase In revenue that could
be made by replacing the low-pro-
duclng mongrel flocks with good
stock.
As a revenue producer, the farm
flock OF poultry ranks ahead OF
many other classes OF livestock. and
the report OF this survey states that
"In addition to this enterprise be-
ing one OF the leading sources OF
income. II is further commendable
because Its receipts are distributed
throughout the year, They are
greatest during the early spring and
summer months. but there Is not n
month In the year without some re-
ceipts from this source. Poultry is
also OF considerable Importance as
source OF the home food supply"
Many people raising poultry think
OF increased production only along
the line Of increased numbers. This
is mistake. The necessary OBJ
Iect TO be kept in view now Is In
creased revenue, and this can be
done better by raising poultry along
lines OF practical common sense ex'
perience. In other words. 1t is bet
ter to raise ten good strong yigor-
Gus sbroilers, roasters or layers that
will fetch you SIS than to raise 10
that will only fetch you $12 or pos
sibly at the most SIS. This extra
value can be gotten only through
following our Essential Features
