Conscript the Coal Miners.

Omaha, Dec 4.-To the Editor Of
The Bee: With regard to the present
crisis (the coal shortage: Every
thinking man and woman certainly
must realize that this crisis is every
bit as serious, if not far more serious,
and demands just as prompt action
as the crisis that confronted us when
we declared war on Germany in 1917.
In that case why don't the heads
Of our government take the same
prompt and sensible action that they
did at that time?
There is only one way to avert a
calamity and that is start producing
coal at once to the full extent Of the
mines capacity.
In 1917 our government did not
hesitate to put the selective draft
into operation. thereby securing the
best-fitted men to defeat the Ger
mans. Acting on the same principle
why doesn't the government put Sc
lective draft into effect and pick out
the best-fltted men to work in the
mines? That, of course, would first
include all of the miners now on
strike and any other men who have
had experience in working coal
mines.
Then il any or all Of the men
drafted in that way refused to work
put out a call for ex-service men to
don their uniforms again and back
up the government in seeing that it's
orders are obeyed.
Right now it is not question Of
whether the miners or the operators
are to blame. It's simply a question
of supplying the country with coal
in the quickest way possible.
The plan of students and ex-serv-
ice men volunteering their services
to work in the mines shows the
proper spirit. but is it practical?
Why not force the experienced min
ers to do the work and call on the
ex-service men to see that they do
do it?
Here is one ex-service man who
is ready to volunteer his services the
minute the government tells the min
ers they must return to work and
settle their differences with the oper-
ators in some way that will not
threaten ruin to the whole country.

Do not add any bright colored o.

spirit the lesson will be easy to get.
Before you begin, however, find
out, if poss" lie, what the lesson is
about. This you can tell by the
heading of the chapter, by the mar
ginal topics, or by the heavy-faced
type that. begins each section or
paragraph. And when you have fin
ished reading, ask yourself again,
What is the lesson about?" And
be sure you answer the question.
Having read the lesson once, put
away the book and see how much Of
it you can recall. At first, perhaps.
you won't recall much, but after a
little persistent practice, you will
find yourself doing better.
Remember that not all parts of
the lesson are equally important. If
you know what the subject of the
lesson really is, you will be able to
tell what facts bear strongly on the
subject and what do not. Learn the
important facts.
Now read the lesson over again
thoughtfully, with pencil in hand,
undermining neatly the most impor-
tant words or phrases. These un-
derlinings will help when you look
over your lesson just before class
or when you review.
If you have time, put down on
piece of paper or in notebook the
main facts that you have learned.
Do it without the aid of the book
if you can. Or write a series of

Omaha, Neb., Dec. 5.-To the
Editor Of The Bee: DR.. Garfield
said short time ago that the cost
of soft coal on board cars was $2.15
per ton for the mining and 46 cents
for the operators, the freight from
the Cherokee mines Is $500 per ton,
so you see the total cost delivered
in Omaha is about $4.S1. Now look
up what you are charged for coal
here and you will see the retail deal
ers are gouging You frightfully. The
miners see that they get small
price for doing the work while the
mine owners, who are also the retail
dealers, manage to gouge the public,
the price being SO great that people
cannot store coal in summer time,
making the mine owners and retail
dealers directly responsible for all
the loss and suffering in this country
now. 1t is said one mine owner made
100000 this year. Why not inves-

MOUNT rainier MYSTERY
OF EARTH SHOCKS SOLVED

old crater are kept free of snow
and ice, while at places near the
summit the rock surface is still
hot.
When the hotel was erected
three years ago the first reports
of earth shock were soon verified.
At that elevation, $500 feet, they
became very real to the men who
stayed in the snow fields through
out the winter. In December,
1915. the first shock was reported
by the Waterman, who said that
the floor of the inn "falt like a
tremendous ocean wave was pass
ing under it. Timbers creaked,
dishes ratified and the sensation
was terrifying" The severe
shocks of that winter reoccurred
from time to time during the next
two winters.
But there was never even the
suggestion of a remor during the
summer months. and therein lay
the mystery.
1t was discovered, according to
park officials, in a very natural
way. The new snow of storms
was forced by terrible winds into
crater vents until these openings
were completely closed. In that
way steam election was temporarily
stopped. Once the vents were
closed, the snow and ice packed
rapidly upon the top and effective
ly shut in the gases of the volcano
for a time. Gradually the increas-
ing steam pressure became great
enough to again force open the old
crater vents through the snow cap,
literally blowing the plugs out.
Thus a fu11-fledged earthquake lev
ell, which is just one-third the
height of the mountain.
Park officials have said nothing
of the earth shocks, waiting their
explanation. But with the solving
of the mystery this winter, con
firming previous observations, they
felt that a load had been taken off
their minds, relieving a fear that
possibly the mountains winter
snoring meant to convey a deeper
meaning than they cared to think
Of.

COST OF GOVERNMENT

IN BAVARIA
SALARIES IN REVOLUTIONARY
MINISTRY" MORE
MODEST

MUNICH, Feb. 8. - Much spec
ulation has been caused by the
question of what the revolution
airy ministry" is costing the state
of Bavaria, especially in COMPARE
son with the former ministry.
There are eight ministers in the
cabinet today, and each draws $4,-
500, making a total of $4,000.
To this must be added the pen
sions of the seven ministers who
we're removed, also $4,000 each,
making a total of $62,50O.
The salaries today are consider
ably more modest than those paid
the old cabinet which, with pen
sions, totaled $S4,250. The new
state of affairs is therefore, so
far as the cabinet is concerned,
nearly $4,000 cheaper. This may
be almost equalized, however, by
the expected expenditure of $751;
900 annually for the new ministry
for social affairs.
