LONDON, Oct. ga meeting of
coal miners delegates was today
called for tomorrow by the Fedora
ton of Miners, giving rise to hopes
in some quarters that eleventh-hour
negotiations would be opened with
the government in time to avert the
threatened national strike Of the
railway men and the transport
workers.
RAILWAY MEN MARK TIME.

National Union of Railwaymen met

miners and railway men will hold a
joint meeting tomorrow.
While the option was expressed
that the meeting of the miners to-
morrow made the prospects OF peace
appear brighter than they were

strike until Wednesday. when the
trade union congress has been sum

situation.
NEW RIOTS IN COAL FIELDS.

received from the Welsh coal fields.

FORTY-EIGHT HOURS GRACE.
The most gigantic Industrial tie-up
that any great country has ever
known will result unless the govern
ment takes decisive steps within
forty-eight hours to end the walkout
in the coal fields.
A general strike by the triple al
liance"-miners, railroad men, and
transport workers-would call out
nearly 100000 men in addition to
throwing hundreds of thousands of
other workers into involuntary idle
ness. Premier Lloyd George and the
cabinet discussed the situation today
and were making vigorous efforts to
create a foundation upon which to
open. negotiations to end tho coal
strike and prevent spread of the
strike to the rail men and the dock
workers.

LONDON WOMEN SHORN
OF HAIR Discomfort

London. May 15.-The fashion Of
cutting women's hair short is waning
and scores of short-haired women
are searching West End hairdressing
shops for locks with which to replace
those of which they were shorn a few
months ago when the "bobbing" craze
was at its height. This has created an
abnormal demand for hair of all colors.
Possesses of rich auburn or pure white
locks of suitable lengths can obtain s12
or SIS by submitting to the "hobbing'
operation. q
There is some irony in the fact that
many London women who paid five or
six shillings a few months ago to have
their hair "bobbed' and left the tresses
with the hairdresser, not knowing they
might have received money for them,
are now spending anxious hours in
other shops in an often futile match
ing up" endeavor.

GEORGIA MAP
IN NOW READY
GEOLOGICAL SURVEY PREPARES
TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY OF AREA

The United States Geological Sur
vey department of the interior, work.
ing in cooperation with the war de-
partment, has surveyed the Peoples
quadrangle, in South Carolina and
Georgia, and the Geological Survey
has just published map of this area
on a scale Of about mile to an inch,
with a contour interval of 10 feet.
The survey includes nearly $50 square
miles of typical foreground" in
Screven county, Ca, and in Barnwell
and Hampton counties, S. G. The
highest points in the area are some
sand hills in it's northern part, which
reach an elevation Of $50 feet. The
soil. which consists of clay overlain
by a thin layer of sand and decom-
posed vegetable matter, produces fair
crops of cotton, but more than third
of the area is covered with heavily
wooded swamps. The Savannah river,
which was no named by the Creek In
dams for another Indian TRIBE, the
Shawnees, who lived on it's banks, en-
tiers the quadrangle at its"northwest
corner, wanders leisurely back and
forth over a wide swamp that forms
an impossible barrier, and finally
leaves the quadrangle at it's southern
euBe, dIteT having nednQereu 1Or 81
miles to traverse an airline distance
of 10 miles. A small steamer once
made regular trips up and down this
river between Savannah and Augusta,
but apparently became. discouraged
and stopped making them, perhaps on
account. of the numerous bends and
the consequent shifting Of the bars
and shadows.
The first settlements in this section
were made about forty years before
the Revolutionary war by English and
Scotch who came from the colony at
Savannah. Afterward families from
Maryland and Virginia, who were try
ing to move westward but who kept
near the coast to avoid the mountains,
settled here and helped to develop the
country.
The map is one of the results of
surveys made in the southern Atlantic
Coast Plain by the Geological Sur
vey for the war department, in con-
sequence of the fact, suddenly recog-
nized upon our entrance into the war,
that no detailed maps of that region
We're available for military use.
Copies of the map of the Peoples
quadrangle may be purchased for 10
cents from the director of the United
States Geological Survey, Washington.

RUSSIAN MONEY
GOES IN BALES
CURRENCY is ONE OF CHEAPEST
OF RUSSIAN PRODUCTS-AN
AMERICAN DOLLAR WILL BUY
1000 RUBELS.

On Board United States Destroyer,
Black Sea, April 25.-Russian money is
ore of the cheapest of Russian
products. 1t is literally dispensed in
bales. The old fashioned pocket book
no longer is sufficiently large to carry
ones daily or weekly supply of rublcs,
of which one American dollar will buy
about 1000. In normal times the ruble
had an exchange value of about half a
dollar.
There is a colony of millionaire Rus
sian refugees in Yalta, a Black Sea
port. who have to keep their currency
in trunks, boxes and barrels.
The kopek has long since disappeared
as a standard unit in Russian money
In Yalta, smaller denominations Of
rubles scarcely exist. People brandish
5000 and 10,000-ruble notes as though
they represented only few farthings.
A correspondent of the Associated
Press who has just made q tour of
the Black sea towns on board the
American destroyer, Smith Thompson,
found Yalta to be unique among all the
cities on the Black Sea. 1t is the only
place in southernA Russia where one
does not see hunger nor distress. At
one time it was the summer home Of
the late Emperor Of Russia. The Boil
shevists have obtained control of it
but have spared the fine Imperial pail
ace with it's sumptuous gardens and
decorations of regal grandeur.
There were upward of 10000 Russian
refugees in Yalta when the correspon-
dent visited the city, but the majority
of these were well-to-do and able to
take care of themselves. In anticipa-
ton Of Bolshevik invasion many Of
them were preparing to leave for Con-
stantinople, France and England. Those
who were temporarily short of money
were peddling their diamonds and
jewels at fraction of their cost. Every
second store in the town was q clear

kets and other personal possessions

Sebastopol was comparatively secure
from the Bolsheviki. There seemed to
be ample food for the population but
the hospitals were short Of vital neces-
sites.
:. In the area north Of Novorosisk,
running as far as Kuban, there are
said to- be 100000 refugees who were
forced to flee from their homes in
Kursk, Poltava, Kiev, Kharkov and
other cities.
Throughout the towns Of southern
Russia there is a general prevalence
of typhus, due to overcrowding, lack
of soap, scarcity of physicians and in
difference to cleanliness.
