From Coal Gas.

An English engineer, Ernest Bury,
claims that he has succeeded in ex-
tracing ethylene alcohol from coal
oven gas on commercial scale, says
the Scientific American. The practi-
cal working of the process at the Skin
ningrove works, where $500 tons of
coal are carbonized per week, reveals
an average yield of 1.6 gallons of al
cohol per ton of coal. The total weight
of coal reduced to coke in this country
during 1918 was 14,835.000 tons, SO
that the application of Mr.. Bury's
process to this quantity of coal would
yield R3,416,640 gallons of alcohol,
which would be available as liquid
fuel. Coal treated at gas works would
yield further 27.00O,OOO gallons, or,
taking alcohol and benzol together,
ia, 100000 gallons of liquid fuel per an.
mum could be produced from the car
bonization of coal in this country
toward meeting the total requirement
Of about 160,000,000 gallons.

SAFETY FIRST FOR CHILDREN
Many Requirements Furnish Variety
Of Topics for Essays and Oral
Discussion.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agrlculture)
Inc many requirements for safety
will furnish variety of topics for
school children's essays and oral dis
cussion. The dangers of railroad
crossings at grade, the economic JUS
tification for abolishing them, the inn
portance of an unobstructed view up
and down the track as vehicle
approaches. and the disadvantage of
sharp turns, etc, are suggestive
subjects. Similarly there might also
be mentioned the questions raised by
street intersections and turns. In
every town there are many crossings
where the autoist's view Is unnec-
essarily limited by fences, shrubbery,
or buildings; or where sharp curves
with limited visibility invite serious
accidents. Guideposts, markers, and
other signs for the most efficient guild
ance of traffic through thickly settled
communities also are part Of the
bigger and more inclusive topics of
the economic Importance Of safety and
guidance--the actual money value Of
human life and of accident prevention.
Another question, In solving which
the engineer and economist will need
the help of enlightened public opinion
land this enlightenment should start
in the public schools, is that Of the
relation Of the public highways to
railroads and canals. The advantage
Of long hauls by rail and short hauls
by motor truck; feeding into main
terminal points by radiating systems
Of highways; division of the trans
portation burden by parallel systems
Of water. rail, and road transporta-
ton, are some of the subdivisions Of
this general heading.
This listing of topics is not intended
to be complete or exact, but merely
suggestive. Those which refer to con-
struction could best be utilized when
construction work Is in progress in
the vicinity of school. Many of the
other topics may be studied from
maps, of which the students might be
required to make tracings or free-hand
sketches showing the particular
features for which emphasis Is desired,
or regarding which the exercise IL

ments often feel the need Of better
popular understanding Of the problems
of road construction, and their officials
would doubtless cooperate In a hearty
manner. Locking ahead, 1t is easy to
see an actual shortage of men qualified

Some of tue things which determine
the cost of road construction are |:

Of material to be excavated and
amount Of filling to be done; amount
Of ditching sor surface drainage and

But, at last, the tables turned for
our little heroine. A queer, kind
hearted rent collector, Pancks-a
painting little steam-tug of a man, with
his putting and his pauses-had
learned to value the friendship of the
motherless girl, and so, having acct.
dentally discovered that her father
was the probable heir to an enormous
estate, had run down the clues until
finally the great wealth was turned
over to old Mr.. Dorrit.
Then away from the dreary prison
hurried the entire family.
Yet riches brought slight pleasure
ID Little Dorrit. The much-changed
father became ashamed of his debtor
life, and with the now richly dressed
sister and the gambling brother, put
on many airs. The father even EN-.
ployed chaperon named Mrs. Gen
eral to teach Little Dorrit society
manners.

ledy, papa is a preferable word; IL

"Oh. she? Little Dorrit2 She's
nothing; she's a within Others"
And thus Mrs. Flintwinch, wife of
the crafty, crablike walking footman
of the household, introduced to Arthur
Clennam the name of the poor little
seamstress of the paralytic Mrs. Glen
nam.
He had noted her pale, transparent
face, quick in expression though no,
beautiful In feature, except for its
soft hazel eyes. A delicately bent
head, tiny form, shabby dress-it
must needs have been very shabby to
look at all so, being so neat-were Lit
tie Dorrit as she sat at work.
A strange presentiment came into
Arthur's mind that, in some way, this
gentle maiden was connected with
his history.
For 20 years young Clennam had
lived in China with his father, only to
return now, puzzled over a mysterious
watch which that father, in the very
last moments of his life, had given
to his son, murmuring family and In
distinctly at the time: "Your mother
Naturally Arthur had assumed that
it was intended for Mrs. Clennam,
whom he and the world supposed to
be his mother.
Inside the watch casing was an old
silk paper with the initials d N r
worked into 1t In beads. 1t was mes
sage-but the young man could not
fathOm 1t and the old woman would
not enlighten him. Was Little Dorrit,
to whom the stony Mrs. Clennam paid
such strange, unusual kindness, con-
nected with the mystery?
They grew to see more of each 9th
er-the girl and the young man-and
Arthur learned that the generous lit
tie Amy Dorrit was supporting not
only her poor old father, who had
been condemned to a debtors prison,
but also her pretty, frivolous sister,
Fanny, and her wild, lazy brother, Tip.
Under the then existing English laws
they were all allowed to live with
their father in that dreary prison.
Little wonder that Clennam often
spoke kindly to her and that he helped
the family. But love had not yet
come to him-though it had to Little
Dorrit. He heard the thrill In her
voice, he saw the quickening bosom,
and yet the remotest suspicion of the
truth never dawned upon his mind.
1t must be added here that Little
Dorrit had innocently won the love
of another man, the sentimental son
of the prison turnkey. small of stat
ure, with rather weak legs and very
weak eyes, gentle bat great Of soul,
poetical, faithful. If one were to
doubt his devotion he need only read
the inscription for his own tombstone,
which the romantic youth had COM
posed when Little Dorrit said mo" to
him. 1t ran thus:

retary Hoover announced.
Mr.. Hoover made public q letter to
Chairman Kahn of the House military
affairs committee, in which he called
attention ITO the terrible situation in
the Volga basin in Russia" and ef-
forts of private relief agencies to save
as many lives as possible.

the hope that Congress might author
ize the secretary of war to donate
these associations such of the used
clothing, surplus medical and food
supplies as cannot be advantageously
used by the army or as cannot be
readily disposed of for cash.
Secretary Weeks informs me that
there are considerable quantities of
such things costing the government
large amounts for storage and preser-
walton, and / believe no greater pur-
pose could be found for their appli-
cation
Mr.. Hoover also made public a
statement on famine conditions in
Russia by DR.. Vernon Kellogg, secre-
tary Of the national research council,
which declared that in the Volga the
lives of 15,O0O.0O0 people were placed
In jeopardy. He added that concen-
tration of the food available there
upon certain individuals throughout
the year might mean the survival Of
seven or eight millions of this num-
ber.
In any event." DIR. Kellogg said,
"some number Of from five to ten
millions must be destroyed unless
they are relieved from outside Rus
sia."
Around this area, he continued,
there Is another area where there
will be considerable mortality and
throughout the balance of Russia
there is no supply of food generally.
Accompanying Mr.. Hoover's letter
was a survey of conditions in the
Tartar republic by ]. P. Gregg, an in
vestigator Of the American relief ad-
ministration, which told of the failure
Of that government to meet the
famine needs Of the people. He esti-
mated the number of children there
at about 1,25O,OOO and declared the
government had enough food to feed
about 1900 for a month.
