chlna,s Mineral Wealth.

In the light of the constantly pre-
dicted exhaustion of the worlds coal
supply the following note from the
United States commerce reports is of
interest:
For the past 20 years the world
has heard marvellous stories OF
China's vast wealth of coal, yet China
imports more than it exports. The
figures for 1917 show 100000 tons ex-
ported and 100000 tons imported,
yet, according to V. K Ting, director
of the geological survey of China, a
minimum estimate of China's wealth
in coal indicates that 1t is sufficient to
supply the worlds consumption. at its
present rate of 1,000,000,00O tons q
year, for period of 1000 years. Prob
ably no other statement made concern
ing China would demonstrate more
forcibly than this the backwardness of
the country In modern Industrial de-
velopment. Coal is known to occur
in every province in China.

The story is told that while Charlie
magne was sitting one day at dinner,
a fleet of long, narrow boats came
swiftly toward the land. "Those must
have come from Brittany" some one
declared and another said: "No, they
are surely Jewish merchantmen" But
Charlemagne had noted the vessels,
writes Eva March Tappan, in her "Old
World Hero Stories" that they had
only one sail, that bow and stern were
shaped alike, and were guided and
carved to represent the head or tail
of dragon, and that row Of shields
was ranged along the gunwale "Those
bring nothing to SELL" he said "They
are most cruel foes; they are North
men," Then there was hurrying and
scurrying to put on armor, snatch up
swords and spears, and hasten down
to the shore to drive away the pi
rates. But the Mortimer had heard
of the prowess of Charlemagne, and
as soon as they knew he was there
they rowed away as fast as their boats
could be made to carry them. The
Franks had much to say about these
enemies, but Charlemagne stood silent
gazing at the sea.

is not as a result of the armistice or

In the office. 'Pm trying to get this

at the other end of the line, "Now

The clerk listened and her alarm

superintendent took the phone and the
girlish voice, now grown calmer, re-
peated: 'My kitten has been up In a

get him down? Mother will pay you

he will fall and kill himself"
"All right-all right, little girl, don't

"Tom, suppose you take one or two
men and go over to the Bradford place

them pay for it-understand? We

I'm going to drop out of this long
about the middle?" And after much
argument Tom had to be content with
three dances.
After the first dance with Christie he
had no desire to dance with any other
girl, telling her that three dances with
the right one were more to be desired
than dozen merely to be dancing.
"And," finished Tom soberly, I'm
coming tomorrow to call on you and
Dominic and tell you why-may I? In
the meantime you can ask Jim about

was told that Miss Christie was en-
gagged and could see no one. He hung
up the phone, out of sorts and out of
spirits, and getting into his old line
man toys he determined to spend the
day inspecting telephone lines.
He was out on a side street where
the snow and sleet had done much
damage and was just going up a pole
when the Bradford car drew up to the
curb in front of veterinary office.
"Why, hello, Tomr' called Jim,
BUSY? Come over here" Tom was
amazed to see Christie In the back of
the car, in tears-a basket on her lap.
"Oh, Mr.. Carruthers, don't think me

But poor Dominic had been shot in the

he asked later.
And Christie confessed that she

To our mind the one breathing thing
in creation that has been the most
cruelty maligned is the mule. No more
Woodworking creature walks the
earth none with a more faithful past
record; none now more In demand In
the worlds service. What would we
do in this war without the mule? What
can we do without him after the war
is over? Still he is despised and kick
ed around worse than though he were
hound dog. 1t is shame. In the
readjustment of things, let US right
this wrong and, If we have anything to
say to the mule, let us say it to his
face, which is wiser than saying 1t to
his hecls.-Los Angeles Times.

Foreign-born citizens of the Third
Federal Reserve District won the dis
tinction of being the first group of the
aew Victory Liberty Loan organize
ton to start work when they launched
their campaign in Philadelphia on
Tuesday, March 4.
Representatives of nineteen differ
ent nationalities, comprising the sub
committee chairmen of the Foreign
Language Division, attended and made
| suggestions for the conduct of the Vic
tory Liberty Loan campaign. In line
with the plans Of the general commit
| tee, this is to be handled on q more
| intensive scale than any of the four
| previous loans. In the absence Of
Judge Joseph Burlington, Chairman,
Cassimir A Sienkiewicz, Executive
Secretary, presided.
An outline of the new organization
was given by A. E. Berry, associate
director of the War Loan Organization
for the Third Federal Reserve Dis
trict.
''In the security ia be offered in the
Victory Liberty Loan" he said, "the
chief difference from other loans is
| that instead of offering bonds that ma
ture in fifteen years, the government
will offer notes which it will agree
to repay in one, two, three, four or
| five years."
To illustrate his point, Mr.. Berry
| said the securities about to be offered
are more like currency, which is pay
able on demand He also emphasized
! that one never dreams of selling dol
lar at less than it's face value.
Security men who know what they
| are talking about say there are hardly
| any securities on the market that give
better net return than government
bonds he said 1.-THE notes, because
Of the new tax conditions under which
they will be sold, will give better
net return than anything else"

Foreign Language Division TO trustees

From what we know of the surface
conditions and climates of the various
members of the solar system, Prof.
Svante Arrhenius concludes that
Venus is the only planet besides the
earth where life is possible. Venus
has dense, warm atmosphere Of high
humidity. With everything dripping
wet, life near the equator should be
luxuriant, though of low order on ac-
count of the uniform climate and lack
Of need for specialization; but nearer
the poles the climatic diversity is
greater, suggesting a more varied de-
