GOOD COKE MADE OF HOMECOMING"
 GOAL FROM WEST
Treatment By New Method Results In Yield of Coke Amounting to Sixty
 Per Cent
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau, The Aee-HeraId.
 5Ol nAvf1snn R,,tf,lfu1

Washington, October 17.-(S Especially ) The obtaining of a good grade of coke from coals which seemed devoid of any coking property has been ac- complished by investigators at the University of Illinois, Urbana, H., working in cooperation with the United States bureau of mines. by the employment of a specially devised low temperature coking process. As a result of the process. valuable by products, in the way of ammonia, gas and tar, are derived.
 The experiments were undertaken in connection with an investigation by the bureau of mines of the smoke problem at Salt Lake City, Utah. It was found that coke was regularly obtained from only few coals tribu- tary to the Salt Lake City district and, if the use of coke, a smokeless fuel. was to be increased in that city, 1t would be necessary to demon stra te the possibilities of coking coals not regularly used for that purpose. Six coals from various Utah districts were tested,
 Although. so far as present stand ards of coking indications are con .cerned, the coals tested seemed quite on-coking, treatment by the methods devised by Prof. S w. Parr of the University of Illinois resulted in a yield of good coke amounting to ap-

None of Protests Contain Charges Serious Enough to

 Washington, October 17.-(Special.) ) In the innumerable protests against the confirmation of W. E. Snead of Boaz, nominated sometime ago to be collector of internal revenue in Ala bama, there is noting definite. tan gible or serious enough up to the present time to justify his defeat in the opinion of Senators Under wood and Hefiin.
 Unless in the near fture more se- rious matters are brought to their attention, it is reasonably certain that they will no longer insist that the nomination be held up.
 In several of the protests, it is stated that the sponsors for Snead. Pope NJ. Long and O. D. Street, re- ferees for the President in Alabama cCnspired in the senatorial elecuon last year with l.. B. Musgrove of Jasper, democratic candidate for the Senate, to bring about the defeat of Senator Underwood While this statement is probably true in the opinion of the senator, it does not constitute a valid reason for pro- ceeding against Snead.
 Mr. Snead has filed many flatter- ing Inducements in his behalf.
 
 proXimately 60 per cent of the coal employed. The coke Is dense and ot good texture, and seems adapted to use as a domestic fuel and for metal lurgical purposes. In some respects the coke seems superior to anthra- cite for use in domestic furnaces. Slightly more than 20 pounds of am monium sulphate, valuable as Q fer tilizer, were recovered per ton of coal coked. The gas recovered as by product is especially suitable for utilization in city mains. The tar oils obtained should lend themselves read fly to cracking processes, thereby fur nishing product suitable for motor fuel purposes, and may also prove a source of creosote oil and other wood preserving materials. These tar oils, on account of their marked drying properties, may also be avail able for paint and varnish manufac-

 New York. October j..-(Special) )- Twice within a week the impossible has happened in New York. Amid the fret aRd clamoR> of the busiest town in the world, a woman attained the age of 100 instead of restlessly pass ing out, as statistics insist, at a fe- verish 55. NAnd amid the high rent als. the high food and the high clothes of the highest priced town in the world. a trade journal employc amassed S150,000 on a salary of $40 week. The one achievement is as extraordinary as the other.
 When Mrs. Francois Le Vapresco came to Gotham a steamboat was IS rare as s2 steak, while the tele- phone had yet to jingle and the elec- tric light to glow. In a breathless century she has seen the trotter give (place to the motor and airplane. She Thas yeen a square meal progress from roast turkey with half dozen veg etables and two kinds of pie at 90 cents, to club sandwich and wisp of ice cream at 75 cents. She has seen the hand that rocked the cradle reach out to rock the ballot box. She has seen Broadway widen from an un- sophi sticated road to sthe broadest street anywhere. In short, she has seen the pearl grow as commonplace as the oyster was once. and the oys- ter as costly as once was t,.a pearl. Yet she lived hundred years through 1t all and celebrated the event by doing a days wash.
 One Shining Example
 Wentworth Tucker, on the other hand, will forevermere be the shin ing example of people who lecture on thrift sand careful investments. While the brisk young modern la mented that he simply could not scrape along on less than $50 a week, | Mir. Tucker drew his $40 as worker for motion picture journal. sup ported himself and his wife, and, by accommodating railroad and public utilities stock, managed to leave a s15O.000 estate. If only he had left also a bit of printed advice on how to do 1t, he would have been the Benjamin Franklin of today.
 Almost on a par with the accom- plishments of Mrs. Le vapresco and MT. Tucker was that of John Shaw. He achieved the adequate taxi tip. When he had taxied round town s7 worth. John Shaw alighted and handed the driver a check for s69.000, bidding him to keep the change.
