FINE "GRIDIRON" AT COBLENZ
American Soldiers Stationed There
Have Facilities for Almost
Every Kind Of Sport.

Elaborate preparations were made at
Coblenz, Germany, for the football sea-
son. Grounds and stadiums which were
only partly finished a year ago have
been made permanent playing fields,
and many of them compare favorably
with the best college grldlrons In the
United States.
The most deliberately finished ground
is in Coblenz, known as Carnival Is
land" 1t was on this ground that the
Third army championships were de
cided last season, but the ground at
that time was not in as good con-
dltlon as 1t Is today. Neither were
there proper facilities, such as dress
ing rooms.
At this island there are now two reg
ular baseball fields, two football fields,
golf course of nine holes, q polo
ground, quarter-mile cinder track,
with 300 yard straightaway, and out
door basketball courts. On another
part is ring for horse shows and nine
tennis courts.
Suitable bleachers to accommodate
5000 spectators have been built, and
there also are large number of prop
erly equipped dressing rooms with
showers, rubbing tables and store
rooms.
Not only at Coblenz are there
grounds available for the soldiers, but
at Andernach, Montabaur, and Neu-
wled the old grounds left by the A. ID.
#. have been taken over by the Y. M.
G. A. and enlarged and remade In
every particular.

Soldiers and Banana Growing.

The New South Wales government
has not been long in providing Its re-
turning soldiers with work. One of
the enterprises undertaken with this
object Is the cultivation of bananas
on large scale. There~is no fruit
crop that yields such quick return
as the banana and in the present
nourlshlng state Of the market no
better undertaking could have been
selected, given the right men. It Is
not work for the lazy. But among the
dem0billzed troops are plenty Of men
who are young, tough and teachable.
Four hundred acres have been taken
as beginning and each settler has II
months probation before black In
intrusted to him. The sum Of 1925 Is
advanced to each for implements,
stock, and house-bullding material.
The soldiers have already started and
enjoy their rough life In the hills. The
experienced planter, Mr.. @. Rose, who
Is in charge, sees nothing but success
ahead In reward for their efforts.

Shifting MlaerX.

G. WInslow, a Terre Haute business
man, recently went back to his home
town for visit. While there he met
an elderly village character In the

Scaw Fell Pike.

Scaw Fell Pike, Cumberland's
mountain summit, is to be the prop
erty of Engllshmen In perpetuty. The
highest hill Of England is the very
noble gift made by Lord Leconfeld
to the men OF Cumbria who fought in
the war, and as token Of gratitude
to those who gave their lives for the
cause Of the worlds liberty. Truly
gift In the spirit Of Ruskln and one
which causes the Manchester Guard
ian to utter deepest appreclation-a
gift, II says, through which "even we
common people may get mOmentary
entry into the ecstasies Of the poets
and see the earth and everything In
IT mystically appareled with the glory
and the freshness Of DREAM" Scaw
Fell Pike has the venerable distinction
Of being among the most ancient
mountains Of Europe, understanding
the Alps in point Of years.

MARKED EPOCH IN INDUSTRY
Experience Of Years Of Warfare
Should Have Effect on Coal Min
Ing In This Country.

The inventory of the nations re-
sources that the war made necessary
brought to light many new facts about
coal mining which will be of lasting
value to the industry and to the pub
lie. As long as the war lasted these
Incidental lessons were lost sight Of
under the pressure of meeting the
emergency created by the shortage Of
fuels, but with the return OF peace
the experience gained during the war
Is being gathered together in series
of reports on the industry, the first
Of which, Goal in 1917" by @. ID.
Lesher has been published by the
United States geological survey, de-
partment Of the interior.
The period from 1914 through 1917
and 1918 and into 1910 may be regard
ed as distinct epoch In the coal in
dustry, Of which the year 1917 repre-
scented only one section, but section
which, If not the most remarkable for
Its achievements, was at once the most
chaotic and the most momentous In the
history of the industry
In response to the unprecedented de-
mand the bitumlnous mines produced
651, 790563 tons, or nearly 10 per cent
more than the output of the year be-
fore. The anthracite output was co.
611,S11 net tons, an increase over 1915
Of 1877 per cent. The total output Of
both hard and soft coal was thus over
65O,0OO,OOO tons.
This record output was accomplish
ed by labor force Of 003, 143 men In
the bituminous and 154,174 in the an

upon her sex to notice 1t. Mrs. Bard

with a grim "Think 1t over, child,

But long before Mrs. Wilson's hour

They had gotten to be very good
friends, indeed.
These stars stand for intervening
hours Of that day, during which the
best laid plans Of Mrs. J. Henshaw
Wilson "ganged" very much aglee In
deed.
Diana was taken on the rebound.
Lieutenant Granger. a stripping M. D.,
knew nothing of Mrs Henshaw or her
plans. He pleaded well his cause.
At eleven o'clock Mrs. Wilson dis
covered her daughters absence and
phoned the canteen. A voice in
formed her that Miss Wilson had left
half an hour before. Was some one
bringing her home? Mrs. Wilson in
quired, for that lady had ascer-
tanned that no car had been ordered
out Of the family garage that morn

"Why, I don't know, I'm sure" an

In the afternoon young woman who
much resembled the one who had
stolen out of the Wilson house in the
morning returned, very much pinker

And the only consolation Mrs. j.
Henshaw Wilson has been able to
salvage out Of the wreck is the amell-
Grating fact that Mrs. Barding-Scott
takes proprietary interest in Mrs.
Laurence Granger. For when Diana
told her mother the overwhelming
news of her sudden marriage to n
man who was to sail overseas that
very night, and whom Mrs. Wilson
had never seen or even heard of, 1t
was not in the mothers power to
take the retallatory measure employed
additionally by lrate parents since
the world began and cast the dlsobed-
lent daughter out into the cold, cold
world. Because, you see, J. Henshaw
before he died, had had the wise
presclence to leave the greater part Of
his plethorlc fortune to Diana.
