INCREASED OUTPUT OF ALASKA
 COAL.

The production of coal in Alaska in 1918 was 75,606 tons. valued at s411,S50. according to the U. s. Geological Survey, Department of the Interior. This may be com bored with 53,955 tons, valued st s265.317. in 1917. The production for 1918 was by far the largest 1T the history of coal mining in Alas ka. being 40 percent larger than the output for 1917. which was also greater than that of any previous wear It IS believed that a substan- tial coal-mining industry has at last started in Alaska. The larger par. of the output in 1918 came from the Matanuska field, witch yielded 63,092 tons. The remainder came from eight or ten small mines iE different parts of the Territory. All these mines. except those in the Mataruska and Boring River fields and at Port Graham. produced coal for local use under free-use per nits About twelve mines were operated, employing 2ss men for an average period of 254 days.
 h the Matanuska field the Eska Greek mines were operated regular ly throughout the year by the Alas ka Engineering commission. to sup ply fuel for railroad and other Government use. At the Chickaloon mine, also operated by the Alaskan Engineering commission. the work has consisted primarily Of eXplora- t;on and development, and only 3 small amount of coal. won incl, dentally, has been produced. II  1918 for the first time matanuska coal was shipped beyond Anchorage Private operations preparatory .l mining were continued by two les sees in the Matanusiis field. anG some coal was mined by one ot them, bu. their mines are not yet regularly productive.

COMMUNITIES THAT PROSPER.

The most flourishing communistic
societies in this country are those at
Oneida, n. Y, and at Amana, Iowa.
The former was settled in 1847 and
has always frowned upon liquor and
tobacco and approved a vegetarian
diet although this is not vigorously
enforced. 1t has been very successful
in abolishing private property and in
managing enterprises that yielded
large profits to the common fund.
The community operates farms, a
hardware factory, a factory where
steel chains are made. a famous can
merry, where fruits and vegetables are
preserved. and a silverware factory.
The Amana community owns 5000
acres of land and the majority of the
1000 members are engaged in farm
ing. They also manufacture wooden
goods of high quality, cotton print
goods, flour mills, sawmils and a
dye-shop. Each family has a separate
dwelling house in which each mem
Der has a room and an annual allow
ance of credit at the common store.
Each group of families has a large
garden and a common kitchen and
dining room. This is another COM
munistic settlement that has pros

GIRLS AND DANCING
BY SOPHIE IRENE LOEB

Co. (The New York Evening WORLD.
He should adapt himself to her de-
sires. He will find that when he
takes her to as many dances as she
wants to go to. and shows a willing
ness for her to enjoy herself in her
favorite patsine, that she will recip-
rocate as to his desires.
Only a few days ago | was with
some friends. In the party was a
middle aged man who had married
a very young girl, This man is very
wise. He dislikes dancing himself
but he makes it his business to in
vite young people to join with them
in going to dances, in order that his
wife may have partners, while he sits
by laughing and talking with the
party, and thus he gives her full OPP
portunity for the thing she likes to do.
1t is certainly much better way
than to forbid, it. It is human nature
to seek the thing that is forbidden 1t
began with Mother Eve.
Dances have done more to keep the
spirit of youth alive than perhaps any
other one pastime.
But the young men and women who
go to dance halls, the reputation of
which is uncertain. make the mistake
of their lives They not only help to
foster something that is degrading.
but they themselves run risks that
cause later trouble.
"On with the dance!' But let not
joy be unrefined.

FOR AN EVEN BREAK.

A member Of the Texas legislature
has introduced a resolution that the
United States should permit arms and
ammunition to be sold on the border
to all factions of Mexico. The pur-
port of this was to give revolutionists
an even break with the federals.
1t was the legislators belief that the
people in Mexico who desire to change
the administration should have a
chance to do so, and an established
stable government if they can. But
the member was persuaded to with
draw the resolution.
The Texas move was not in ac-
cordance with the policy at Washing
ton, which assisted Carranza and Villa
to run out Huerta. Having helped
set up that ruler the United States
let's his forces have munitions but re-
fuses to let the newer line IN of rev.
olutionists get bullets from this
country.

the next year. The senate was will

ference the two committees compro-
missed on $4,000. They believed II

an army larger than is needed in time

"She has reached her nineteenth

senior, and ! think l know where TO

me any more"
This young man has the wrong
idea about what his rights and duties
are.
In the first place. he might as we'll
say goodby to the girl If he is con-
tinually going to disagree with her,
even about such small matter as
dancing.
Many a little dance has made a
very big trouble. Just because this
young man does not like dancing Is
no reason why he should fnflict his
likes and dislikes on somebody else.
Should he continue his opposition,
and even succeed in marrying the
girl, as a general proposition If she
| likes dancing well enough she VIII
steal away from him and go TO
dances, and then there will be no end
of trouble.
As somebody has wisely said
| There is no accounting for tastes,
| And any man who thinks he can
change a persons tastes to suit his
own is certainly a back number In
the present scheme of things.
Furthermore, any one who says
! that at tht age of twenty-four he
is "over sucn things as dancing
needs a little waking up. Even
| grandmothers and grandfathers dance
| today. Age has lost its limit and
nobody gets over" anything only on

| 1t IS matter for the individual.
Everybody IS In the foreground OF
| activity. No longer are people rele-
gated to the rear with knitting needles
and snuff boxes, just because Father
Time has kept count of the length
of their lives.
Living today is different.
But the young man does speak
progress when he says, that he is OPP
posed to dance halls that are not re-
spectacle. He has good ground for
complaint when the young woman
makes the mistake of going to places
where she will be contaminated by
wrong influences.
Let him choose good places for
dancing. 1t is a healthy and pleasant
exercise. II 1t is clean and wholesome
