TN HE "why" OF the price OF
anthracite is a matter of con-
Germ to all users of coal. 1t is
the one great commodity that is
delivered to the millions under its
real name Iron. wool or wheat
arrive disguised as other COM
moditics But coal is coal from
mine to stove.
Hence consumers will be inter-
ested in the estimate of the cost Of
producing a ton of anthracite made
by George Otis Smith. Director Of
the United States Geological, Survey.
The cost of producing anthracite
is no simple problem. Among other
things that complicate II is the fact
that so per cent of the production
the small sizes that compete with
soft coal--must be sold at a loss.
The larger sizes-on which alone
any profit is realized-keep the in
dustry in existence.
DR. Smith is himself coal con-
sumner He wanted to find out what
was the cost OF A ton Of anthracite
for which he paid more than SIS
delivered in Maine last winter.
SO he went to the books of the
Company that produced the coat he
paid for and asked for Information
The coal in question was egg
size.
DR.. Smith found that on a ton of
9.240 pounds the labor cost OF min
ing and preparing the coal for mar
ket was SAN, administration 8

"A Divorce Of Convenience" with
Owen Moore in another of his de-
lightful comedy Characterization
will be the feature photoplny at
fractions at the Strand theatre to-
day.
The story is one that was written
especially for Mr.. Moore by Victor
Herman, who both wrote and di-
rected Owen Moore in his recent
triumph. 1.-The Chicken in the Case -
Photoplay fans who witnessed that
performance remember it as one of
the bright comedy features of the
past year. nj constructing this new
farce the author concentrated his
efforts about the particular talents
Of the star with the result that no
picture in which Mr. Moore has vet
appeared was quite as suitable for
him.
"a Divorce of Convenience SIS
straight comedy of the farcial vari-
ETY. that was made for laughing pur-
poses only. No other star of the
screen is better qualified for this line
of work than Mr.. Moore and the re-
suit. it is said, is a picture that will
satisfy everyone.
In this production. which was di-
rected by Robert Ellis, the star is
supported by two leading ladies,
Katherine Perry and Nita Naldi.

GIN" for Federal taxes and .divi-
dends. OF So cents, the total mine
cost was 1915. This was all the
mine received. The difference be-
tween the mine price and what DIR.
Smith paid represented freight,
handling. and the retail distributors
costs and profits. but all the pro-
Queer got was s775'
This particular ton of coal came
from an average cost mine" DR..
Smith In giving these figures points
out that the cost apportioned to egg
size coal is higher than the average
cost for all the coal produced.
Forced to sell large proportion OF
anthracite at loss. naturally the
larger sizes ot.ncoal have to bear a
larger share or the cost of pro-
duction.
DR.. Smith concludes that the ulti-
mate consumer must face the fact
that nothing indicates the posi-
bility of lowering the price OF
anthracite until labor costs are re-
duced AT present rates. the mines
are paying $685. for each 81 OF
wages paid In 1914 Those wages
are fixed until next April. and 1t Is
evident that at this time there are
no swollen profits out OF which the
Coal Barons" can make q price
reduction.

EAST RIVER NEAR
BRONX MAY HIDE
AUTO GRAVEYARD

New York, Aug. 21.-Harbor police
dragged the bottom of the East river
off Bronx pier today where it is be-
lieved an automobile graveyard had
been discovered yesterday, and fished
UP a dilapidated motor car. 1t bore
the number of a machine owned by
William Seigar of this city, which
the police said. he reported had been
stolen on July 81.
The tentative survey made today
indicated that other heavy objects are
submerged in the same spot in 35 feet
of water. The search will be contin-
ued tomorrow with n harbor dredge
capable of lifting five tons.
The recovery of the automobile to-
day strengthened theory that the spot
is a repository either for stolen auto
mobiles or those disposed of for the
insurance.
