COAL TRADE IS
MORE OPTIMISTIC
IN LOCAL FIELD.
Offer Aggregate 100000
Tons At $2.1O and
$2.15

Optimistic rays are starting to
shine on the coal industry in tae
Fairmont region. True It is moth
ing to startle things but the in
quiries and offers are beginning
to drift this way just the same.
Production has not climbed as
everybody has hoped nor has the
price levels recovered like the
tradesmen would like to see them,
but there is trend for the better
and there is an occasional sitting
Of price.
Three conditions are possibly re-
sponsible for tais. First the min
ers themselves have broadcasted
the fact that they will not stand
for a cut In wages during the life OF
this contract which means no re-
duction in labor costs. Second the
imminence of railroad strike is
more generally being realized and
taken more seriously by the buying
public an dlastly the closer ap-
proach to frosty nights and wtntry
weather has made industrial con-
Germs think more generally Of stor-

PUT GREAT FAITH IN CHARMS
Belief Is Part Of Arabian Life. and
Even Europeans Come to Take
Them Seriously.

evil eye on him, and he mechanically
spreads the five fingers of his hand.
Fire in your eye" is little en-

hand, you need not seriously fear the
evil eye. You mechanically touch the
dangling charm and all immediate dan
ger is averted.

She offered me quantity of silver,

Gun Has sixtx.MlIs RANGE

In the course of experiments In the
last two years In an effort TO produce
a cannon that would fire a shell about
sixty miles NJ. Delamare-M Maze built a
gun that upsets all preconceived ideas
about artillery. being open In the rear
as well as at the muzzle; the tube
and the breach part are separate and
remain apart even at the moment of
firing
The explosion chamber is narrowed
at its forward end, and its external
diameter is slightly less than that of
the bore of the barrel of the gun, so
that when pushed together they es-
cape touching by only IA few milli-
meters. When the gases of explosion
expand they exert their forces upon
the projectlle and are turned back
by it to escape through the space,
which separates the two parts.
This backward rush produces a
force acting upon the projectile.

Gold and Coal.

In describing the Cambria coal
field of Wyoming, an expert mentions
the interesting fact that gold and sill
yer are present in small quantities in
the coal. From the occurrence of iron
pyrite, which is distributed throughout
the coal seam, it is suspected that this
mineral carries the precious metals.
The coke made from the coal is used
in smelling works, and averages from
one to two pennyweight of gold per
ton, which is sufficient to compensate
for high ash content.
There has been a similar occurrence
in South Africa. The coal occurred
in small seams running through the
quartzite ore, and in places was quite
rich in gold. the ash being colored u
bright purple by the finely divided
particles of metal.

Yacht Speed Fifty Years 400

In the course of some historical ar

esting details regarding the famous
schooner Alarm, of 24S tons. built in
1880 at Lymington. England, as a 193-
ton cutter. heightened and enlarged to
24S tons and converted to schooner rig
in 1852. In a race of So miles against
the Swedish schooner Sverige. of $50
tons, the Alarm won by two minutes,
at an average speed OF - knots. That
would be good going in these days for

Washington. Establishment of
peace by congressional resolution
reached its final stage when the SEN
ate and House Republican conferees
agreed upon n compromise resolution
which they hope to have In President
Harding's hands soon.
The compromise embodies the House
plan of declaring the state of war with
Germany and Austria at an end. and
adds the Senate provisions reservlng
American property and other rights.
The Democratic conferees, Senator
Hitchcock of Nebraska, and Represen-
tative Flood of Virginia, called in for
the final conference after the Republl-
cans had previously arranged their
compromise resolution, refused to sign
the report, and said that with other
Democratic colleagues they would OPP
pose the Republican plan TO the end.
Overwhelming Republican majorities
in both Senate and house, however,
were said TO leave no doubt of adop-
tion of the conference draft.
Satisfaction over the compromise
was expressed by both Senate and
House Republican leaders.
Part of the conference agreement
follows:
Section l. That the state of war de-
clared to exist between the imperial
German government and the United
States of America by the joint resolu-
tion of Congress approved April 9,
1917, is hereby declared mt an end.
Sec. ,. That in making this declar-
alton, and as part of it, there are ex-
pressly reserved in the United States
of America and its nationals, any and
all rights, privileges, lndemnities. rep

ter citizens, because of better health,
and best of all teaches self-reliance.

tunity to become strong, will give
young men the necessary training and
send them home better in every way.

service. and applicants will not be

excellent opportunity for free camp,

men of this section. In 1915 and 1915
about 25,000 persons took advantage
of these summer camps. and it is ex.
pected that hundreds will take ad.
vantage of this camp at Fort Logan.
