COMMENT over
WEST VIRGINIA
THE TIME TO BUR COAL
(Erom the Charleston MaiN

ManifeStly, IL the operators were
to advise the public to buy coal now,
the public would think that the OPP
orators were looking only to their
own interests. In Il sense this would
be true. It would be to the interest
Of the coal operator if coal were
bought now. 1t would be to the in
terest of thousands Of idle miners
if coal were bought now But this
is not all. There is every reason to
believe that it would be to the in
terest of the public that depends
upon coal as winter fuel.
More than one hundred thousand
miners are said to be idle in the
coal fields, 100000 idle freight cars
are in the railroad yards. Mines are
not earning what they should. Bust
ness depending upon the mines feels
the depression and this adds to the
general depression Now coal must
be used next winter. Everyone
knows what will happen if every
one waits until the last moment to
order coal. Some will not get it and
many who do get it will pay high
prices for it. 1t will be another
golden period for the Spectator and
profiteer. This is what everyone
should avoid.
Order your coal now is good ad-
vice and it would seem to be wise
advice.

RURAL POPULATION.

the loneliness OF that beautiful road

ness not far from the metropolis ne

greater than it was some 140 years
ago. when Washington and his ar

there In part, this depOpulation is
to be ascribed to the Valley Forge
Park Commission. which has shown
great zeal in buying up and demol-
ishing houses, and even part of the
adjoining village of Port Kennedy.
This has led to severe but ineffec-
tive criticism. Whether or not this
policy Of restoring the camp to it's
original limits is justified cannot be
discussed here. Certain it is, how
ever. that it has put out of use hun
dreds of acres of excellent land
which formerly produced very ap-
preciable amount of food and has
created a solitude where once there
was life
The vicinity of Chadds Ford near
which the battle OF the Brandywina
was fought is another instance of
apparently arrested development.
There may be more people there
than when Washington and Lafay-
cite opposed the British, but they
are not strikinglv in evidence This
cannot be attributed, however, to
the encroachments OF large estates
Or park commissions. but rather TO
that decline in rural population

WHAT'S YOUR NAME
Society's Latest Fad Is as Many
Names as Clothes

{F'rom the n. Y. Evening World)
The one fixed, immutable law of
society is the law Of change.
In q frantic endeaVor to avoid
boredom at any cost, the men and
women Of the social world change
their clothes, their pleasures, their
homes, their continents, even their
husbands and wives-with really re-
markable rapidity. Milady wears a
dancing frock twice-then gives it
to her maid. Her husband spends a
month in New York, a fortnight at
Palm Beach-then changes America
for Europe. It's eXciting-and it
must be bit hard on the recording
angel to keep track of all the migra-
tons and metamorphoses
But here's the newest in the way
of social variations. They're all
changing their names, Mrs. John
Knickerbocker is becoming Mrs.
Van Twiller Knickerbocker-
maybe, Mrs. Van Twiller Jones. It's
frightfullY puzzling!
Sometimes, of course, there seems
to be method in the madness. When
for instance, matron of society
has discharged her husband. she
Just naturally doesn't want to be re-
minded of him any more than is
necessary. Ii she remarries she can
change her last name. But suppose
she deesn't-and he does?
Does she wish to be known as
Mrs. John Knickerbocker No. !,
while her successor is hailed as
Mrs. John Knickerbocker No. 2?
My dear. how annoying!
She therefore simply changes the
name that comes after the Mrs y
There is, for example. the social
leader whose calling cards formerly
read Mrs. Belmont Tiffany" But
Belmont Tiffany has taken unto him
self another wife. SO the one-time
Mrs. Belmont | have now instructed
her friends to address her as Mrs,
Cameron Tiffany" And there isn't
any contretemps- whatever that is
Likewise, we have the former

King streets today doubtless observ-
ed with considerable satisfaction
the beginning OF the grading there
for the actual laying of the con-
crete base for the paving.-asign
that paving is just ahead. The
work goes along at good pace
here these days; the contractors
have had their problems in cutting
through streets OF rock for the lay
ing of the sewer pipes and that
part of the work has seemed to go
somewhat slowly; but the point
has been reached now where both
aewering and paving can be done
at the same time.
THEY LIKE RISKS.
Some pedestrians, who are not in
A position to know the thoughts of
the motorists, smiled last night as
they witnessed some cars complete
ly mired in the mud along the
streets which are now being worked
for the sewering and paving after
the motorists had thrown aside the
natural caution which would have
prompted them to stay off the
streets after the storm had soaked
everything temporarily and had
taken their chances by risking
travel through the mud and rut3.
And these bystanders were 50 in
considerate as to remark that the
motorists actually deserved to get
stuck.
It is not difficult to understand
that the people who live on the
streets now being worked are anx-
ious to get the streets opened
again; but the cost of good streets
is usually temporary suspension OF
traffic on those streets, and there
really seems little ground for com
plant at the temporary suspension
Of the traffic.
