and the findings of this committee have been
sufi cientIy conclusive to convince conservative
congressman that the American people have
been ruthleesly exploited and robbed by the
coal barons and that these nefarions practices
must be checked even IL in checking them 1t
becomes necessary for the government to take
over the coal industry.
At the last session OF congress Senator
Calder OF New York INTRODUCED bills calculated
to regulate the coal industry but the operators
succeeded in preventing their passage during
that session and there appears to be no chance
whatever of their enactment into law at the
present special session So successful were
the operators in sitting the Calder bills, they
now appear to have supreme confidence In their
ability to prevent any legislation whatever IN
relation to the coal industry.
Last week the coal lobby in Washington
started the movement to block action ON the
mild Frelinghuysen BILL the sole purpose OF
which is to establish complete and prompt
publicity under the direction of Secretaries
Hoover and Fall, with regard to production.
stocks, storage and prices at the mines, In
transit and to the consumer. The plan was to
have the bill recommitted to the committee on
Interstate commerce and it met with v1gor-
Gus challenge from Senator Freffnghuysen, who
declared that while the coa lobbyists and
propagandists were describing his measure az
socialstic and bolshevistic, they had banded
together in lone big union" to defeat the legis-
lation which had been before the senate for
week without the slightest progress toward
decision.
Senator Frelinghuysen named four organ
izations as dominating the coal industry: The
National Coal association, composed of bitu1ni-
nous producers; the Anthracite Coal Operators
association, with headquarters in Philadelphia;
the American Wholesale Coal association, with
Offices in Washington, and the National Retail
Coal Merchants association of Philadelphia

Lumber on Free List.

Elimination of the proposal for a tariff on
finished lumber in the tariff bill constitutes
a victory for the members of congress who
fought this attempt to assess the American
home builder approximately $3.50 on every
$4,000 home.
at was a pleasure for me to do all in my
power to defeat the proposed tariff of rs per
cent on finished lumber and its defeat in the
ways and means committee should be a source
of great satisfaction to the home-builders of
America" Representative William ]. Graham
declared commenting on the action of the COM
mittee.
There is no reason why lumber should not
be on the free list of imports. The lumber in
dustry, in the main. did not ask for protection
and a great part of the industry was opposed
to it l see no reason why protection which
would be a direct assessment on the people,
should be forced upon an industry which does
not need it,
Representatives in congress from IS states
assembled in conference to oppose the tariff
on finished lumber when the question was be-
fore the committee for action. The committee
yielded to the point where lumber was placed
on the free list with the provision that the
president might, if he saw fit, enter into nego-
tiations with Canada, and, in the event Canada
declined to remove it's tariff on finished lumber,
impose a retaIiatory duty on lumber, coming
into this country
It is the general opinion in Republican cir
cIes that, while there is no liability the presi-
dent will exercise this privilege, at the same
time this is purely legislative matter and the
executive branch of the government should not
be burdened with it. Consequently, there is
a well-grounded report that effort will be made
on the floor of the house to strike out this
provision from the lumber schedule.

Radio Control of Boats.

Experiments conducted by the navy depart
ment the last week to determine the effective
ness Of airplane attacks on battleships have
not indicated the claims Of the air service.
Two hits and those not in vital spots, were the
best that the aviators were able to achieve by
dropping more than eighty bombs. Had the
Iowa in fact been a hostile ship on its way 70
shell one of our sea coast cities it would not
have been prevented from carrying out its mis-
sion. But if the experiment has been disap-
pointing to aviation enthusiasts it has served
TO reveal the usefulness of another new weap-
on that the United States government has per-
sistently refused to avail itself of. This is
the control Of ships and torpedoes by wireless.
an invention perfected several years ago by
John Hammond, millionaire inventor.
The battleship Iowa, which played the part
of the enemy feet in the maneuVers, was
equipped with Mr.. Hammond's device, permit
ting its control from another ship that fol-
lowed at a distance of five miles. Not only
was the Iowa steered and Unanswered without
a crew but its engines were started and stopped
by the mechanism, and the fires under its boil
ers regulated from the accompanying ship. 1t
was equipped, of course, to burn oil
SUCCESS with the radio control in this in
stance does much to confirm Mr.. Hanmond's
claim for his invention If a battleship can be
directed and operated by wireless it is obvious
ly simpler matter to control torpedoes by
the same means With this invention America
can feel secure even though its air men prove
Indifferent bombers. An invader succeeding IN
getting through the aerial barrage will still
have to meet fiocks OF torpedoes which can be
made to pursue him through all OF his turnings,
until they finally come into contact and explode

A TRIANGLE.
BY Lillian r Anderson.

Syndicate, Inc.)
The little school teacher sat at
| her desk, day-dreaming. The late
afternoon sunlight filtered in
through the dusty window pane,
| touching with delicate fingers the
dainty white narcissus with their
hearts of gold, that Frightened the
| bookcase and came to rest in the
dusky, shining masses of the girls
hair.
The last lesson of the day was
long since said. The last adoring
pupil had long since murmured in
the doorway: Good night, Miss
| Crandall; see you tomorrow" 1t
was very late, but the little school
teacher had not gone.
On the desk before her an open
letter lay. She could see the words
without reading them again as they
looked in that strong, clear writing:
My Dear Eleanor-To think l
didn't know, didn't realize! 1t was
you all the time, dearest-You!
And now, forever only you. Ruth
never cared. 1 thought l did. To
think l didn't know, sweetheart of
minel Darlin' little schoolma' am,
I'm coming up to see you May l,
soon, please? All, if there's
another chapI Heaven knows; but
1 pray I'm not too late, dearest"
Then at the end: Forever yours,
Donald"
Memory carried the little school
| teacher back. She lived over again
the years of her early youth She
saw herself in high school, a bash
full, proud little maid who lost her
heart to the tall class president,
Donald Page. Finding that Donald
and Ruth, her best friend, cared for
each other, she, Eleanor, saved by
her pride, put her little secret be-
hind her and became a loving, loyal
chum and confidante of both.
Graduating, Eleanor met Maurice,
a boy from another town. Their
friendship grew and f1ourished.
Donald, joining the S. A. T. c., fell
i'll with pneumonia and stayed at
Washington, d. c., for a. year
Eleanor. plying him, wrote him
cheerful, sunny, comrady letters.
Ruth gradually stopped writing
Donald. Six months later her mar
rage to another was announced.
Eleanor, away at Normal, grew
to care for Maurice. Because he
did not dance, she asked Donald,
now well at home, to act as her
escort at the senior dance. They
met, danced, and parted, the best of
friends.
Then, today, this letter from
Donald, Eleanor was troubled
She had to face it at last Which
should it be? Donald or Maurice?
She did not know her own heart.
True, Maurice and she had been
the best of companions for three
years, and he loved her. Still, re-
Numbering Donald, tall, fine, clean
looking, clever, she forgot Maurice's
devotion. She loved Donald, and
did she love Maurice better?
Leaving the building, Eleanor
carried the dear, precious letter
home Another letter was waiting
from Maurice. Reading it, the
revelation came. 1t was Donald
she loved She, teacher, could not
marry a man who said ''ain't,"
man who couldn't spell, and wasn't
acquainted with a dictionary; a
man who wrote letters in pencil;
a man whose manners were not ir-
reproachable, whose grammar was

Beating the Law of Gravitation.
MCTEp

Beating the Law of GraVitation.
The maintenance of a normal
erect posture is constant struggle
to beat the law of grayitation. If
Professor Einstein or any one else
can devise some means for repeal
ing this law, lot OF unfortunates
with the anhedonia of sagging a5-
dominal organs will have reason
to be grateful.
There are several ways to skin a
cat
The depraved state of viscerop-
tosis, be it prolapsed stomach, sag
ging colon, movable or floating kid
ney, or whatnot loose inside, is
caused and maintained by the force
of gravitation. All right. Then the
cue is to fool gravitation, by sim
pie twist of the wrist, reversing the
application Of the force of gravita-
ton SO that it will undo some or
all the damage it has done. Crawl
tation is indeed great obstacle and
stumbling block in the pathway of
evolution. Maybe it would have
been better had we remained on all
fours, instead of making highly
trained monkeys of ourselves
In order to beat the law of grav-
itation and make gravitation work
for the benefit of the victim of
ptos1s or sagging of abdominal or
gans, it is not only necessary to put
the patient abed in the horizontal
posture, which merely throws grav-
itation into neutral, but the patient
must be more or less inverted for a
reasonable part of the time in Or
der to gain the advantage of reverse
action by gravitation.
There are numerous expedients
for thus utilizing gravitation- The
foot of the bed may be elevated on
blocks eight to sixteen inches above
the head of the bed. Three or four
times a day the patient may lie for
half an hour at time, preferably
plane with the hips elevated a foot
or more above the level of the
shoulders. The ironing board or any
other contrivance which will place
the body at an angle of about As
degrees with the level will serve for
this purpose. While lying in this
position, if it is not uncomfort-
able, the patient may gently rub
and stroke the abdominal wall from
the lower right corner upward and
over forward to the upper left cor
ner, but not downward.
For splanchnic anhedoniacs who
are underweight- practically
all victims of viscedoptosis Who
have any active symptoms from
their displacements are below nor
NAL weight-from one to two weeks
of absolute bed rest, with these
postural procedures to vary the
monotony, will be found the best
kind of relief in cases not COM
plicated by other Diseases. 1t is a

He came in slowly, face white,
eyes eager. She rose to meet him.
He caught her gently in his arms.

Without wishing to appear boastful, The

TO the fact that it had the announcement of the
finish of the Dempsey-Carpentier fight Saturday
afternoon four minutes ahead of all the other
newspapers in the tri-cities. 1t is estimated
that crowd of 5000 persons received the news
through the megaphone in The Argus building.
