port themselves, and to touch each
life with the golden wand of the
gospel. Jo-San may be quite un-
scientific in her methods. but the
fact remains that of the $50 dis
couraged women who sought her
aid, net one has since taken or at
tempted to take her life. Somehow
or other, Jo-San must have set
them right. *
Under the name OF the Women's
Welfare Association, Christian
workers in Kobe give what support
they can to the Suicide Lady. But
the house on the hilltop is no long
er large enough for all who have
turned back from Suma; and as
Jo-San's work is INSTRUMENTATION
al, no one board has assumed re-
sponsibility. Therefore the Inter
church World Movement survey
committee for Kobe is asking
$4,000 for new house, SO that
those who come to Jo-San may be
sure of shelter during the first try
ing days Of REIMBURSEMENT.
Meanwhile To-San's fame has
spread abroad throughout Japan,
and, day by day, up the steep path
go weary factory girls and disap-
pointed wives, unhappy geishas and
tired old women-all seeking as
their last hope in life the Suicide
Lady of Kobe.

The plane rising was warmed by the
it was seven miles ND where it was
81 degrees below zero, says Father
Odenbach. There was probably but
little ice found during the climb.
The plane rising was warned by the
heat at lowest levels. Above five miles
there was no water vapor and hence
could have been no ice formed. But
while Schroeder was in this sub-zero
level his machine was cooled. When
he began to descend with great speed
he passed through an ice cloud that
is known to surround the earth, but
even this did not overlay his machine
with ice.

thick layer of warm water vapor-a

the scientist. The vapor settled on
his intensely cold machine and was
frozen there. If it was a half-inch
thick it must have been a very large
cloud

OUTPUT Of COAL
SET A NEW HIGH
MARK LAST WEEK
r8y The Associated Press,

Washington, Dec. 12,-Produc-
ton of both bituminous and anth-
racite coal reached n new high
water mark for year during the
week of December 4. according to
a statement tonight by the geo
logical survey showing the output
for the week to have been 12,T57,-
900 tons of pituminous and 2,051,-
900 tons Of anthracite.
The weeks soft coal production
has been exceeded only four times
since the geological survey has
been recording the weekly output,
three of which weeks were in 1918
and one last year.
The record production of btu
minous coal was attributable, the
survey said, to the ability of the
railroads to supply cars. Figures
obtained by the survey showed that
232,340 cars had been delivered to
the mines.
The soft coal production so far
this year. however, still lags be-
hind 1917 and 1918. although near
ly 90,000,000 tons greater than
last year. This years output to
December was 12,431, 900 tons,
the production for the same
period last year was 425,291, 900

MURPHY WINS IN
LAST ROUND FOR
ROSENWALD CUP
Defeats Joe McCanna in the
Finals; n. G. Coors, Jr.,
and Charles White Elm
mated in Semi-FinaI Play.

Leo Murphy won the Rosenwald
cup in the final round at the Coun-
try club links yesterday afternoon,
defeating Joe McCanna and 1. in
a nine-hole match, shortened be-
cause Of the sharp weather. In the
semis, eighteen Mole matches
played Sunday morning, Murphy
won from II. G. Coors, Jr., 3 and 2,
and McCanna eliminated Charles
White, 3 and >.
Sixteen players qualified in the
tournament which had been in
progress three Sundays. Last sun
day only four players survived tn"
elimination rounds and the finals
yesterday brought out two evenly
matched golfers and the cham
pionship match was nip and tuck
affair throughout the nine holes.
The ROsenwald cup, must be
won three times to become the per-
manent property of any player. 1t
has already been won once by DR..
]. r. Van Alta, Albert G. Simms
and Grover Divine Murphy is the
fourth to win a claim to the cup.
Because of the difficulty expected
in winning permanent possession
of the cup under present conditions,
it is expected that plans may be
undertaken to change the condi-
