ART WORKS ON LARGE SCALE
Interesting Figures Concerning Decora-
tons for Lincoln Memorial Build
ing at Washington.

Simply to stretch the canvas, says
Jesse Lynch Williams, describing in
Scribner's Magazine how Jules Guerin
painted the decoration for the Lincoln
Memorial building in Washington, re-
quired eight men, which is less sur
prising when one realizes that each fig
ure in the groups Mr.. Guerin was about
to paint is a good deal larger than the
painter himself. One agrees with the
writer that, although such details are
not necessary to art appreciation, it is
interesting to know that the two I'M
painted canvases cost $500 apiece, and
that when the artist finished his work
the paint he had used added $50 pounds
to their weight. And because the paint
ings will be somewhat exposed to
weather, the paint was mixed with
wax, in a way which chemical analysis
shows was done to weatherproof paint
ing when the ancient kings Of Egypt
were erecting memorial buildings.

CHEAT IMP OF WAKEFULNESs
Some Methods by Which 1t Is Said
the Drowsy God May Be Sue
cessfuIIy Wooed.

Sufferers from sleeplessness should
try this trick. Have pair of binders
made from a double thickness of black
silk. These should just cover the eyes,
with a cut for the nose, being held in
place by broad elastic band. Hang
these on the bed post, and If the morn
,ng light comes in too early put them
on. Another remedy is suggested by
the sleeping methods Of pigs. Tie two
paper clips to either end of a cord
seven or eight feet long. Clip the top
of the Counterpart with one and a
soft weight with the other. If not
sleeping after Is minutes, pull the
Counterpart over your head. This in
duces that long, even breathing, nat
ural to the approach of sleep, as may
be noticed in pigs. AS one dOzes off,
the band holding the counterpart re-
lakes, and the weight pulls it down,
so that one is again breathing fresh
air. People suffering from insomnia
should, when travelling, insist upon a
double bed in a quiet room. Be sure
that it is not over the kitchen or near
q motor garage, or facing clock that
sounds the quarter hours, or within a

PALMER ORDERS
DRIVE AGAINST
. COAL PROFITEERS
All Federal Attorneys Cau-
toned to Be On Watch for
Cases of Overcharging.

Washington, June IA drive on
profteers in bituminous coal was
ordered today by Attorney General
Palmer.
All federal district attorneys were
ordered to give special attention to
charges of such profiteering and to
seek indictment where investigation
warranted.
The Department OF Justice" said
Mr.. Palmcr's instructions. is re-
eceiving a number of letters in which
complaint is made that bitunlinous
coal prices at the mines now range
from 81 to $ll ton. with further
increase imminent. The writers say
that operators arc attributing the
advances in pay to car shortage and
export demand, emphasis being
placed upon the export demand.
production cost figures gathered
by the Federal Trade commission
from 1889 bituminous coal operators
in the principal production regions
mining roughly about 90 per cent of
the annual output, show that during
January. 1920, their~cost per ton av-
eraged $2.32 at the mines. Since
then there has been an increase of
q per cent i'll the cost of labor. en-
hancing the production cost to $2.7o
per ton. The accuracy of these Zig
ures is borne out by information in
letters coming to the department
from purchasers of coal, from which
it appears that prices in May did not
greatly exceed those furnished to the
Federal Trade commission for Janu-
ary.
This situation demands the
prompt attention of all United
States attorneys. Please give spe-
cial attention to the matter and seek
indictments where investigation dis
closes that an unreasonable profit
has been taken, advising the depart
ment of the action taken"
