CITY FACTORIES AND
UTILITIES HAVE 4 SO
DAYS. COAL ON HAND

Richmond manufacturers and public
utilities have coal supplies on hand
that would last from so to 100 days If
coal shipments were absolutely
stopped
Richmond coal dealers say they have
been hard pressed for coal all sum-
mer. A general strike will complicato
matters. The shutdown Of Indiana
mines has already caused the supply
OF Indiana coal here TO drop.
The large manufacturing plants
having central power plants report a
several months supply on hand. Com
pany purchasing agents tore things
this summer to obtain the supply,
however.
Light Plant All Right.
William Jeffries, chief engineer of
the city light plant, reports a six weeks
coal supply. Many local factories OBJ
tain power from the light plant.
Jefferies says this supply would be
augmented by shipments Of coal until
about 10 days after the general strike
began.
Street cars would be able to run
for about 80 days after a general
strike was declared, said the T. H. 1.
& E. power house superintendent. He
says his company has its own mines.
Water Works 60 Days.
J. H. Bentley, superintendent OF
schools. says that about one-half of the
winter supply Of coal for Richmond
schools Is in. This Is about 800 tons.
Karl Meyers. of the Richmond City
Water Works, says his company has
almost a 60 days supply of coal on
hand.
Easthaven hospital has only a seven
day coal supply. The superintendent
OF Reid Memorial hospital says the
hospital coal supply is furnished by a
local dealer.

DIVERSIFIED COURSE
THEME OF FRANCIS

"Diversification in the Course of
Study" was the topic Of DR.. John H.
Francis, Columbus, O., superintendent
of schools, before Wayne teachers
Tuesday morning. He advocated six
years of elementary work, three years
in the junior high school and three
in the senior high school, rather than
eight elementary years and four years
in the senior high schools.
For the elementary years he advo-
Gated studying the child so that by
the time he was ready to enter the
junior high school the intelligent rec
ord of his teacher would be so com
plete that she would be able to tell
him and his parents what the powers
of the pupil really are. In the ele-
mentary courses he said, should be
reading, writing, singing, mechanics,
dramatics and play.
In the junior high school the courses
of study should be enriched and en-
larged with departmental study. By
the time he finished his three years
here the teacher ought to be able to
tell the pupil and the pupil ought to
be able to tell himself just what he
should specialize in.
The childs education is one Of the
vital ones of the day nd one which
Washington is not dealing with. Con
gress is afraid of education, said the
speaker.
DR.. Francis delivered his last lee.
ture at the chautauqua Tuesday after
noon. He divided his time with John
G. Collicott, of Indianapolis, who will
be superintendent of the schools il
Columbus next year.

impaired to the gang" Monday there
were four regular cops dressed up in
civvie clothes prowling around. They
haven't been spotted.
After the Sunday night episode. resi-
dents of Highland and Maple avenues
confined their vocal efforts TO religious
hymns.
Older campers, or those with four or
five years experience, are lamenting
the fact that Chautauqua is not what
it used to be. One person wondered
Monday If he had rented a place In a
cemetery.
The usual assortment of names are
hung out by tent owners. Highland
avenue takes the lead for the best
signs. One sign tells you to Kwitcher-
kickin. Another says that Uwanta-
combak. Still another black and tan
sign says its owners are Sing Sing.
Down in the hollows is Nutsey-Ku-
koos.
The Flashlight sign, however, is be-
lieved the best. Its junior inventors
have rigged it up so that it alternately
flashes and darkens at night

WISDOM NEEDED TO AVOID war WITH
RESENTFUL JAPAN, DR.. REES TELLS TEACHERS

1914, Japanese leaders said that judg-
ing from the fast and loose playing of
the whites in the east 1t was inn
possible to discern which were the
virtuous nations. Japan wanted the
rights of Shantung. China was kept
out Of the war by some Chinese state
men who were with Japan.
Ubiquitous Secret Treaties.
Japan applied the secret treaty iniq-
uities to the east She had an alli-
ance with England which is still in ex-
istence and it has just been officially
announced from London and Toxic
that when it expires in 1921, it will be
revised to be harmonious with the lea
que of nations covenant
President Wilson played lone hand
at the peace conference, trying to
destroy the secret traeties. If the
secret treaties of Japan were destroy
ed. it would mean that the secret treat
les of all other countries would be In
danger, and thus the treaty was
signed and Shantung was given to
Japan.
Il am of the opinion" said DR.
Rees, land was during the peace con
ferences, that all hands should have
been played down SO we could have
seen what these countries were fight
ing for.
Treaty Was First Blot.
No white race has a cleaner record
in dealings with China than we have
and when we signed the peace treaty
we made our first blot upon China. We
must support the liberal party OF
Japan but we must protect the in.
tegrity Of China. The new financial
consortium is one of the good signs OF
the times.
IF the struggle for wealth continues
and is not modified we can look for a
tremendous cataclysm in the East. We
must change international lawlessness

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-Standard
plans for rat proofing business build
ings, dwellings and wharves are being
drawn up by the Public Health service,
as part of its campaign to stamp bu-
bonic plague out of the country. The
plans are to be furnished to states and
cities for incorporation in building
codes. While bobonic plague is
under control in this country. there
will always be scattered infection and
the rat can be exterminated," said
Surgean General Cumming.
According to authoritative esti-
mates, there is one rat for every
person in the United States. To main
tain this huge number of rats costs the
people of this country. approximately
one cent per person every day for rat
food, an intolerable and unnecessary
burden for the people to carry"
