WELL TO AVOID SILHOUETTE
Few People Look Their Best When
the Face Is Seen From
That Angle.

How different people are in their as
of approach 1t is depressing to some
men to behold themselves in glass
at a tailOr's when being fitted with a
new suit. Could they see themselves
always full in the face they might
pass (thOugh with low percentage)
their own examination. But they can.
not be pleased with this physiOgnOmy
that the mirrors at sharp angles about
them reflect in profile. 1t is a sorry
silhouette, indeed. The chin that front
wise seemed fairly resOlute is now
seen to be weak and retreating; the
cOuntenance wears marks of greed,
envy, suspicion and all manner of
eoualities that the full face, with both
eyes and the mouth. was able to gaze
down or to smile away.
1t is not possible to make a sweep
ing generalization and to say that a
man seen sideways is taken at a dis
advantage. SOME men are fortunate in
such q silhouette, and are not less
impressively picturesque than they are
when frontally surveyed. But people,
like all other phenomena of human eX-
perience. often appear mean or noble
not so much of their own motion as OF
the peculiar light in which we see
them or the mode of our own approach
TO them.-PhiladeIp Public Ledger.

Money and
Value
More in Silver Coin Than
Appears on Face Of it

The person who doesn't know much
about monetary science finds certain
facts which puzzle him. If he has
among his souvenirs, for instance, a
perfectly good trade dollar, plainly
stamped 1920 grains" he may find it
refused If he attempts to use it as
legal tender 1t is quoted in the coin
market at something less than half a
dollar. Yet he knows that an ounce
of silver. which contains only 48O
grains, is worth on the market up
ward of $1.36 The silver in that coin,
then. has market value of about
$1.20.
Or perhaps he gets "stuck" with a
coin of Canada, containing less
abundant weight of silver, but prac-
ticnlly equal to United States coins
OF the same denomination; it is re-
fused. or he has to pass it at dis
count. Yet this also has more than
its face value Of silver
Silver that two years ago was
worth only so cents an ounce is to-
day headed for $1.4O an ounce, appar-
emily. Knowing that when silver is
at $1.30 or higher there is money in
melting any of our coins for the
metal, our financial powers are wor-
ried. At any time they may wake
up to discover that silver currency
has disappeared from circulation.
There's more money in it than ap-
pears on the face Of it.-Hartford

GAMBLING BLAMED
FOR HIGH FUEL COST
National Coal Association Lays
"0rgy Of Profiteering" at
Door OF Speculation.

That tho orgy of profltesring In
coal must be laid directly at the door
Of the speculstor was the charge
made today by the National Coal
Association, representing two-thirds
OF. the country's bituminous operators.
The statement OF the association
quotes the recent report Of the Fed
eral Trade Commission, showing that
the operators receive an average price
Of s3.26 per ton for coal at the mine.
While the operator and producer are
operating on slender pront. the
Speculator Is reapiBg a prohteering
harvest Of from 200 to 500 PER cent in
charging from 50 to s12 ton for coal
which he buys at from S3.25 to 81
The principal factor that has
worked TO the advantage Of coal ma
nipulators, the operators state, has
been the practice of the rcconsign-
ment OF carloads OF. coal, for which
the railroads are responsible. Under
this practice, carloads OF coal OBJ
tained by spectators at "A low price
have been started out II an original
consignee, later OH the speculator
causing the shipment to be recon
signed To another destination. In
many instances carloads OF coal IN
this way have been rccOnsigned as
many az nIlGtil tlnlcS.
Chairman Il. +. Clark, Of the Inter
state Commerce Commission, in re-
cent letter to Daniel willard, chair
man of the Association Of Railway
Executives, urged that the railroads
bring down the reconsignment of cars
"to the unavoidable minimum
So far however, little has been don"
to break up the reconsignment prac-
tice, according to reports reaching the
Interstate Commerce Commission. The
coal operators Friday appointed
committee to appear before the com
mission To-Day and suggest prac'
tical methods Of breaking up the
practice of reconsiEninG coal cars.
From other sources, 1t was learned
today, pressure will be brought upon
the commission to bring about the
issuance of n fiat order by the COM
mission to the railroads.
The constant cry Of ''coal famine
H. being raised by those who are
trying TO put something over on the
American people, according to George
II. Cushing, managing director of the
American Wholesale Coal Association.
In lengthy analysis of the coal
situation, written in reply to an cdi-
torial in the Black Diamond, trade
Journal which took issue with his
assertion that there is no coal short
age, Mr.. Cushing declared today:
The total pr rducti0n Of coal has
been so heavy that, II there h,.d not
been n constant reiteratiOn Of the
danger of an impending famine, there
never would have been n thought OF
insufficicncy Of the coal supply

CHICAGO, Aug. 2.-Thc day Of
miracles has not yet passed. Pric 3
OF food and clothing are actually
coming down. and If "A satisfactory
solution can be found for tn" Vexa-
tious fuel problem, the country viii
soon begin to find itself on solid
ground once more, headed in a definite
direction.
Wheat cotton, dressed pork. cloth
ing tmen'sl. shoes. and other neccssi-
ties have hit the toboggan with more
or less ccIerity and old II. G. l.. is in
the doldrums.
Cash wheat shows the most spectac-
ular drop of all commodities. II went
off so cents during the week, losing
l6 to 2s cents Saturday alone. Flour
staging a sympathetic strike" drop
ped 80 cents a barrel. which is a re-
duction of $1.5O a barrel within
week. Oats. rye and other small
grains also showed signs of collapse
following the action OF cash wheat.
Dressed pork is s2.02ik per hundred
pounds cheaper than IL was week
ago Short ribs tumbled 81 Il cents in
the same period. Potatoes that were
selling at So a bushel two weeks ago
are now plentiful az 81 and less
Sugar. for which one had to beg the
privilege Of buying a half pound at a
time less than month ago at 32 and
80 cents pound is now plentiful at
81 cents and a fraction. and some
stores are actually giving it away as
premium.
Another sensational and significant
drop IL shown in cotton. which fell off
AZ to 50 points in Saturdays trading.
This will be of great benefit 70 con-
.sumers and foreshadows cheaper
white goods. but if the drop continues
It will produce a harmful financial
reaction among the Southern planters
who have secured big loans in ad-
vance OF their crops and must meet
these loans.
The drop in wheat, while ii Is a
hopeful sign for the consumer. cannot
he viewed with equanimity. If the
decline continues it may drop TO
s1.75 bushcl at which figure farm
ers would plant no more. The only
hope for the farmer just now is to
hold back his crop until the price
recovers from the scare caused by
perfect weather and enormous yields.
The cause for the drop in cotton Is
the latest estimate which foresees
crop exceeding 15.000.000 bales or
100000 bales more than early csti-
mates. This would fll all export or
ders and leave more than an ample
surplus for domestic consumption.
