Coal Interests Said to Favor Seasonal

Offered to Opposition to Date.
Greater Cost Is Feared.

Washington. Cheaper coal will
become a possibility this sum
mer if Congress passes without
delay the Frelinghuysen bill, provid-
ing for seasonal freight rates for coal.
The bill authorizes the Interstate
Commerce Commission to establish
coal rates varying according to sea-
sons, provided that the average an
nual yield to the carriers is not d.
minished Under such authority it is
planned to fix rates lower in summer
during the rest of the year, in order
to promote summer buying and stor-
ing of coal and steadier mine opera
tions.
President Harding is convinced
that lowering of freight rates would
reduce the price of coal materially
but railroad executives dispute tn
soundness of this view, contending
that the transportation cost now is
only "a per cent of the price to the
consumer.

the other measure is disposed of. The
sterilization bill gives the Commerce

Opponents attack the bill on the fol
lowing grounds:
1t is regulatory in its character. and
seeks to establish a governmental
control over private industry.
1t is highly inquisitorial in its ma

1t violates the legislational guar

that the chief difficulties under which
the coal industry operates are lack o
adequate transportation and irregu

eminent great expense in the way o

A vegetable which, when dried, Is
above criticism even by the most crit

products may or may not be liked by
many people, but dried corn is the
equal if not the superior of canned
corn and can be used for practically
as wide a variety of purposes. The
following directions for drying it are
those advised by the United States De

Any of the varieties of sweet corn

gathered only as it can be prepared
for drying, as corn deteriorates rap
idly.
Careful Prepa ation Essential.
Husk the ears and trim with
knife to remove any injuries. The
silk need not be removed, as IL can
be readily separated from the corn
after drying. Place the ears in wire
baskets or wire-bottom boxes and
plunge into boiling water for eight to
twelve minutes, or until the milk is
set. A little salt may he added to the
water if desired. Divide the corn into
older and younger lots before blanch-
ing, as the younger ears require some
what longer cooking than the older
ones.
After cooking, remove corn from the
water, allow it to drain and cool suf-
fciently to be handled and cut from
