MINES IDLE WITHOUT ORDERS.

The United States Geological Survc,
announces from Washington the prob
ability of another general coal short.
age next fall and winter The an.
nouncement Is based, the Survey
states, upon nationwide study OF
conditions in the bituminous field
Unless steps are taken at once, tho
Survey says, to place the mines upon
a basis of increased production there
is every prospect of repetition to
some degree Of the situation that pre-
vailed in the United States during the
winter of 191T-1S.
The only way production can he slim
ulated ut the present time, it is said, is
by placing orders with the mines for
coal which will be needed later on.
"Production during the'first five months
of the year." reads the statement, "fell
3T,202,0O0 net tons, or approximately
$3.50 below production during the first
five months of 1918. Mines are produc.
ing coal now at the rate Of from $780,.
600 to 100000 tons n week. An aver.
age output of 100000 tons week
must be maintained from June l to
January next If the country's esti.
mated needs of 500,OOO,OOo tons this
year are to be met"
Evil of Delayed Orders.
At no time during this year has the
rate Of production approached the re.
Quired tonnage. The tendency on the
part Of buyers to hold off placing their
orders is limiting production, as the
mines cannot store coal ut the point OF
production, and when the rush OF
orders for the winters needs comes
next fall there is grave danger that
the mines, with depleted labor forces
and the probability Of less adequate
transportation, will be unable to NEE,
the demands. The result Of such a sit
uation would be an insufficient supply
for the requirements Of domestic con
sumers, public utilities and industrial
users generally.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-With

livestock that is called the census.

that formerly housing the army's de-

Actually, the government began the
job some months ago, assembling it's
plans and forces. By law, tie begin
ming of the census period of 1920 is
July /, 1919, though it will not be until
a year from April that the enumerat-
ors will be set at work. 1t is then
that every individual in America, or
some one acting for the Individual,
will be asked the series of questions
that must be answered.
There will be twenty-nine of these
questions in the 1920 census, accord
ing to the present design of Director
Rogers dummy cards, which now are
being given*the exhaustive study of
statisticians. The more complex ques-
tionnaires that go to Industrial estab-
lishments, schools, farms, and every
other permanent institution of the

enumerator's sheets to cards, not by
writing, but by punching holes at
proper points. Then the punched
cards will be handed in their millions
to another battery of machines, the
tabulators, an amazing product of hui
man ingenuity. E. M. BoiteGux, who
devised them, has been with the
census bureau for eighteen years, and
is now experimenting the construc
ton of twenty-five machines, the op-
Grafton of which he will direct.
These tabulators, working with
smooth and silent perfection. take in
400 cars a minute, count them, reject
all that are imperfect or improperly
punched in any fashion, and take off
the totals of punch marks, assembling
the final result in printed figures on
handy sheets. One Of them the other

cards, compiling information that
would represent the population sta
