COAL PRODUCERS
 COURT DISASTER

Senator EIkins and others who have made huge fortunes from coal are exhort- ing the people to "rbuy coal now, or -g What the coal overlords pre- dict, as an alternative. is coal famine and disaster for the public next Winter. If there is to be any disaster, the disaster will fall On the obtuse heads of the coal magnates-
 What license have coal producers to adhere stubborn1y to wartime prices for household coal when every other industry in the land has had to come off it's perch? Steel prices have tumb1ed; so have prices for cop per, leather, cotton, wool, wheat, rub Der, clothing. automobiles, rugs, lun- ber-everything.

THE BASIS OF CREDIT

So long. then, as the French peas- and thrift and has the means of working. the basic foundation of the British workman will produce and has the tools and materials with which to produce, British credit can not be shaken The credit of Italy rests in the final analysis upon the Willingness of the Italian to work and upon his having the tools and materials with which to work. It is but a blind leader of the blind under present conditions who looks abroad expecting to find the same forms of credit security in Europe that existed before the war, or so far as the same may exist looks to find them in approximately the same volume. Liquid bankable credit is, of course, sadly diminished-so far gone. in deed, as to be insufficient as a basis for the credits the nations need to lift themselves out of their slough These great liquid forms of credit must be re-established, must be earn ed anew. So long. however. as na- ture is there with her abounding re- actions to intelligent toll and men will work with nature. and are given the means so to do. the ground for credit remains and men of vision will see the opportunity it gives them to make avail of it by furnishing that element of time. which alone can make this basic potential credit fruit full
 It is not often in mans power to give the gift of time productively, but now ft is so- We have the goods and the need to sell They lack the goods and have the need to buy We have also in our keeping the gift of time and alone among the nations of the world can give 1t sufficiently and roducttve1y.-Wm- c.

GOLDBRICK SYSTEMS FOR
 TRAINING THE WILL

Other popular systems which de serve inclusion among the goldbricks are those for training the will Their advertisements suggest that, because exercise makes the arms grow stronger, mental exercise has similar effect on the will. They maintain that after 8 brief "course'' we shall no longer vacil1ate; our knowledge will always control our actions; we shall always do that which is right in short, the millennium will be here
 In addition to the points brought out by advertisements of memory training, these "wilP' advertisements emphasize a further truth, namely. that without doing correct remem- boring and thinking are, from the practical standpoint, useless
 Similarly, in these advertisements, some "secret' is usually referred to, the knowledge of which will enable the man who has been a failure for fifty-seven years to possess a success full business in fifty-seven days. By the end of the third year his net profit will be anywhere from S10,0O0 to S5O,000 Q year. He is represent ed as suddenly abandoning the balky attitude of years, to become not only self-starter but a self-runner as well. It is to be feared that such testimonials are carefully selected cases; that returns from the entire 100 per cent of enrol1ments in such courses would show Iamentable cases of quitting and of failure
 The search for this secret of will-power will lead us again through some of the main highways of psychological sciences.
 Many years ago the idea of a sep | arate entity, a discrete mental struc- | lure known as the will. was abandon ed by psychologists. There exists no | little manilin that sits up in our brain | with his hand on the ti1Ier steering g our thoughts and actions. for the | manilzin in turn would necessitate an- other of similar kind but of greatly
 reduced size to control the thoughts ! in the head of the first; the second | would demand third. the third la | fourth; and so forth, ad infinitum-4

DOES THE MISSISSIPPI
 RIVER FLOW UPHILL?

Does Mississippi River flow up hiH?" is frequently the subject of school debates, and such debates us ually arise from inaccurate or inde- finite uses of the terms "uphi1r' and "downhi1L"
 In answer to a correspondent who recently made this inquiry, the Uni ted States Geological Survey sent the following reply: Some people de- scribe down or ''at a lower eleva- tion," when referring to two locan- ties, as the one nearer the center of the earth, and consider the upper of the two as the one farther from the center. If only a small area is considered this is practically true, but in referring to widely separated To- calities, such as the source and the mouth of Mississippi River, such a definition would lead to an absurdfty and must therefore be incorrect
 The surface of watar at rest Is a level surface, as that phrase is us- ual1y understood. Any particle of matter above such a surface will be at a higher elevation, and if acted on by natural forces alone will tend to go down towards the water. Mean sea level is the surface generally ac- cepted as the datum or reference plane for all topographic elevations
 The source of Mississippi River is about 1.500 feet above mean sea level Therefore, the unrestrained water at the source of the river, under the ac- tion of natural forces, tends to go down to sea level at the rivers mouth.
 As the equatorial radius of the earth is about 13 miles greater than the polar radius and, as the interme- diate radn differ in length between these limits, and as the source of the Mississippi is nearly degrees of latitude farther north than it's mouth, it follows that the mouth of the river is about 4 miles farther from the cen ter of the earth than it's source. The combined effect of gravity and cen- trifugal force makes the water of the river run downhiIl, although ac- tua1ly the water moves away from the center of the earth in doing so.

CF,rom the New York Times)

CFrom the New York Times)
 There is much chuckling in Wash ington, some of it suspiciously near the State Department, over the orders that have gone forward to ArnbaSSa- dor Harvey. He is directed to join with the other members of the Su- preme Council in passing upon the plan to give financial aid to Austria But this is the plan of the League of Nations. It was devised by the League, will be submitted by the League and may be carried out by the League. So that it will be a lit tie hard for the Ambassador-or, at least, for his colleagues keep straight face after his formal notice to all and sundry that the United States would not have anything whatsoever to do with the League or with any commission or committee appointed by it or responsible to it, directly or indirectly, openly or fur lively"
 The Ambassador further notified the members of the League, whom he evidently regarded as capable of any trickery, that neither 'sby hook nor by crook could they "beguile" America to change her mind about the League But we may be sure that when Secretary Hughes reaches his shepherds crook across the ocean and puts it about MT. Harvey's neck J1Ia 1Ui1 eyo fn meet with the League, a most sub missive mutton He may be tempted to tell the League that it is a piece of impotence for it even to pretend to be alive. after he had condemned it to death but we think that he will now be able to refrain from that and other verbal exuberances. The wires between Washington and Lon don are still open

PROPRIETY
(Fron the New York Times)

NC IOIn lne Ne" l Ork I1neS)
 Even as in the days of Mark Twain's early travels, Western pro- priedes are stumped in the Sandwich Islands. Then. it will be remember ed, a missionary presented a chief and his lady each with a full Euro pean costume-and was electrified when they came to church next Sun day, Sthe chief wearing only a plug hat and his lady only a paraso1, the other garments appearing one by one on the persons of their rednue. To- day it is a question of bathing suits but the point of the tale is much the same
 A clergyman of Hifo. who is also a Senator, was shocked by what he saw in his biennial visit to the capital and procured a law that no one should be seen in the streets of Homo lulu unless covered suitably by an outer garment reaching at least to the knees.- Thereafter Dathers on the way to the beach threw about their waists bath towels and macki- nav coats that indeed covered their knees, but, according to our dis patch, "did not fully accomplish the object of the law" The native idea of propriety, it appears, is still ex- ceedingly scrappy.
 If the good Senator were to visit the United States under the reign of the dog star, it is to be feared Aat he would be almost equally scandal ized- Passing over as lightly as pos sfb1e the customs of Eastern beaches, let us mention the sturdy Middle West-in fact.

More Protests
 Against News
 Of Murder Trial

Evidently following the advice given by a number of pastors in the churches on Sunday a number of per sons have written in to the Times, expressing their opinions as to the amount of publicity that should be given to murder cases of the Mott type, and sa,lacious divorce suits. Sev- era1 communication were received yesterday and two more came in to- day The Times is very glad to get these expressions from the public.
 Today's letters follow:
 May 31st., 1921. To the Editor of the Times:
 L wish to protest against the sen sationa1 manner in which your paper is writing up the Mott trial. The dis gusting details have already been de- scrIbed in the Wade case and it seems unnecessary to repeat them. think articles of this kind tend to lower the morality of the community, especially among the young people, and respectfully urge your considera- tion of this matter.
 Yours truly.
