YOUR LAST NAME
By MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE
Copyright 1870. by The Mcclure Newspaper syndicas

Schaeffers is descended from David
Schaeffer, who came from Frankfort
in 1776 and settled in Pennsylvania
He was remarkable learned Hebrew
and classical scholar and a staunch
Lutheran. Charles Ashmead Schaef-
fer. ~ noted educator. was one OF
his descendants. George Schaeffer.
pioneer in Pennsylvania. is also
to be mentioned. as is Nathan c..
Schaeffer. we'll known educator and
writer.
ANSWERS To CORRESPONDENTS
Morris; There are many theories
as to the origin OF this name. Il
is sometimes said 10 be derived from
the first name Maurice. Again it
is claimed by one branch of the
family that they are descended from
Maur Rhya. The one who first bore
this name was a companion Of
Richard de Clare, known as Strong
bow. He took part in the Anglo
Norman conquest Of Ireland in 1171.
His name was Rgys at first. but as
indication Of his valor he was sub
sequently known as Maur Rhys. The
American branch of the family max
ing this claim was founded here by
Richard Morris. who arrived in
New York in 1868. He purchased
two thousand acres OF land located
in what is now the borough OF the
bronx in New York City.
A more usual and possibly more
likely theory is that Morris has the
meaning Of Moor and dated from
the days when Christian Europe was
at war with Moors and Saracens.
II is quite likely that the one who
first was given the name Morris
took the part OF a Moor in a
pageant or old morality play.

Trace the course of dollar spent today for anthra
cite. The price situation unfods as you go forward.
For example, the mine owner takes the dollar and puts
II to work.
The first call upon it-and therefore mentioned first
comes from mine workers. They take approximately
o5 cents of il for wages. Wages fixed by the 1920
award of the u. S. Anthracite Coal Commission de-
creeng that the scale remain in force until March 81,
1927.
Thirty FIVE cents of the dollar is now available To
be spent howl Fifteen cents goes for various supplies
necessary in maintaining the mine its breakers and
pumping plants Not penny of profit cllngs to the
mine owner In these purchases.
The dollar now Is down to twenty cents. These 60
for insurance, taxes, selling expense, depletion depre-
cation of plant and equlpment-and such unInsurabe
risks strikes, mine fires and floods What remains
is the margin" out of which the profit must come
The II. S. Federal Trade Commission saysi
Margin not be confused with what Is often
called profit Selling expense interest income and excess
profit taxes well as other items, must be deducted
from it before the profit available for dividends
surplus from the operation can be determined"

What Is the Anthracit~ Producers
Profit PER TON!
The facts as established by the u S. Federal Trade
Commission are published broadcast They
known all Anthracite owners margins"
according to that authority were less than 80 cents
per gross ton in 1918. This represented operations
producing 95 per of the total tonnage of fresh
mined anthracite
From 1913 TO 1918 inclusive Covering gthewarperio0
the margin on which mine owners depended for
profit was cents per From this had to be paid
interest, selling expenses, Federal taxes, etc, before
anything available for DIVIDEND
In other words whatever the price you paid for coal
say 81 TO $l4-the mine owner on the average never
retained more than 43 cents per ton on your total
coal bill This shous that there inflated uCT-tis
profits.
Today the average margin in the anthracite region
does not exceed 90 ton. The operator is for
tunate whose margin apProxmates that figure Only
few exceed it, of them make less and many

CHARGES NEGLECT
IN AIR MAIL DEATHS
Discharged Pilot Tells of De-
fective Planes and Drunk
enneSS at Field.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
CHICAGO. May 13.-Charges of in
efficiency and negligence were made
yesterday by witnesses at an inVes-
tigation Of recent deaths in the air
mail service being conducted by
Charles H. Clarahan, postal inspector,
at Checkerboard Field. Chicago head
quarters of the air mail.
The charges were made by G. c.
Eversole former mail pilot, who was
discharged from the service, after he
had made a parachute leap from his
plane near Minneapolis last February
in what he said was an effort to es-
cape d crash.
Eyersole declared that the real rea-
son for his discharge was that he had
told postal inspectors Of the neglect
and inefticiency at Checkerboard and
other fields.
Paul G. Rickel, inspector of rigging
at the Minneapolis field. testified that
planes left the Minneapolis field with
propellers SO badly split that people
were warned to keep away from the
field for fear that the propellers might
fly off and injure them.
The eight German junker planes
that cost the government s235.00O
also cost the lives of seven pilots.
Eversole testified. Five of these
planes were hopeIessly wrecked and
the others withdrawn from service
because pilots refused to fly in them
he said. Twenty-Five de Haviland
planes, known to the pilots as lash
cans" were withdrawn for the same
reason. he declared.
According to the witness, attaches
of the flying field would lay odds of
from 4 to l to 10 to l that the de
Havilands would never reach their
destination after they took the air
Eversole also testified that several of
the officials of Checkerboard Field
often appeared on the field while in
toxicated. In one case he said, an
officer became so confused that he or
dered a mail plane to leave the field
at o'clock in the evening, thinking
that 1t was O'Clock in the morning
