work in the operation of a coal mine also shows overhead expenses of main- taining offices" also cites that il costs the retail dealer some S2 to SS.50 per ton to sell and deliver ton.
 Just as a matter of record, we won der if Birmingham citizens recall what they paid for these same grades and styles of coal in t9t3-t4? We recall dis tinctly of buying Cahaba lump at s3.59 per ton in l913-14, also the nut at S3, and other veins of cheaper coat, some as low as s1.S5 per ton for slack. Now then--since wages. railroad rates, rents, taxes. mule feed. automobile trucks (which arc mostly used now) etc, etc, have not increased moro than 100 per cent in average since 1913. would if not be interesting reading matter. since The Age-Herald is ap- parently undertaking 10 present the facts regarding cost of mining and selling coal to have these coal opera tors give detailed cost sheets of the en- tire cost of coal at the mouth of the mines in l9t3-14. including all itcmized expenses, and the retail dealers show itemized expense of selling a ton of coal. and the original cost of the coal at the mouth Of the mines and then the freight to his yard and the aver age cost per ton for delivery system and comparison of this sheet with present year cost, etc. would have a tendency to lift the veil and show the facts and we intelligent people can then form our own conclusions as to whether there is any superfluous items injected in the cost" that arc even tual1y paid by the consumer and finds its way into the pockets of the men who handle the coal as profit.
 There Is no reasonable reason on earth why coal that sold for $350 in 1stS-14 should now sell for 25O to 300 per cent more, except for inflated cost of operation"
 We trust that you will do your sub scribers the justice of giving this item space in your valuable sheet. I assure you that the time has come when price of coal at retail must come to what 1t was in 191S-14, plus the regular legiti | mate increase in wages rents. taxes. freight rate and cost of operation, re- gardless of what the operators and dealers say-for we citizens are not in . clined to swallow the unsupported word and written figures of the defendants without a grain of salt.

Breaks In Baseball Games

Edwin A. Goewey in Leslies.
 There are as the fans know, all manner of breaks <. Some are the outcome of
 smart playing and quick thinking, while others cannot be forecast. come out of a clear sky, and may make or break the fortunes of a club. However. whatever their cause they usually play a signifi- cant part in a short series. where less than half a dozen games won means victory glory and wealth.
 There are few pebbles 10 be found on first-class playnig field. but still they are there occa siorally, and one ma cause a ball to bound beyond an in : ficlders reach at a critical point. or a speeding player may step on one and be thrown off his balance just enough to spoil his catch. On a wet field any player may stumble and hurt himself and all kinds of things may happen if the ball heeemes wet while part of a
 game is being played in drizzle. All
 of these things constitute break" but little noted if they occur in the course of a 11-game season, but tremendously important in Q worlds series of nine
 games or less In calculating the chances
 of two worlds series contenders we fig
 ure on the men being physically fit at
 all tins throughout the contests But
 suppose some are injured? Such breaks
 cannot be guarded against or repaired,
 say, TOT luStdHce, SluSScr Hhe tuLn
 was injured in the first game of a se-
 ries. The actual loss of batting power
 would be tremendous, but the psyche logical effect on the champions team
 mates probably would be fatal to their
 chances of winning.
 AS others have said baseball is un- certain, quite" but never 50 much so as in a worlds series. There is satisfaction
 irs saying ''I told you so' after series
 ends, but give the "breaks'' a share of
 your attention before committing your
 self to a forecast.

paper In Shoes Detected

The average man, if told the shoes he was buying wereN of part paper, no mat ter what the price. would probably seek another shoe dealer, says the Popular Mechanics Magazine in an illustrated ar ticle. And yet, on the authority of shoe makers. more than half of the shoes sold today contain a percentage of paper. But like many other products. even "paper shoes have improved. and the honest manufacturer of paper shoes has a real excuse for substituting paper for leather wherever he can.
 But undoubtedly. some manufacturers have taken advantage of the general use of paper in shoes to cheapen their product and swell profits.
 Two simple tests will help in determin- ing whether a shoe is all leather or not. One is to press the point of penknife or the upper layer Of The heel. If they are of paper the blade will readily sink in. The other consists in pressing down the counter or toe:f if of paper. it will not recover it's shape. but if leather. it will spring back again
