these high-cost coals is that a ger tain percentage of the public desire these high quality coals and is will ing to pay price which will permit of them being mined at aprofit.
 To Average Up
 Furthermore, as an economic prop osition. the steam coal produced at these high cost domestic mines must be marketed in sharp competition with the cheaper cost steam coals produced at exclusively steam coal mines, which have thick, soft seams and more favorable operating condi- tions. The law of supply and de- mand, which is once more operative in all lines of business, has fixed so low level of prices on steam coal that the steam coal product of he domestic mines is being marketed at loss, and the domestic coal price must yield return which will bring the average sales realization to a point above the cost of production. Clearly, domestic mines cannot sell their steam coal unless the price is in line with the market established by the low-cost coals, and 1t is equal ly clear that unless market is found for the steam sizes, the domcs- tic (lump) grade cannot be pro- duced To illustrate this point an actual example is given on 100 tons of coal:

 This necessity of an average real ization is common to all lines of trade. The butcher, for example, buys carcass of beef at 163s cents per pound, and markets it on the follow ing basis:

 Average realization, 19.45 cents per pound. Profit, 295 cents per pound.
 He does not sell the soup bone at 5 cents per pound, which Is less than cost, because of any altruistic motive, but simply because he cannot get more for this cut and his loss on that portion of the carcass must be made up on the more select cuts.
 Another example of this rule of average realization. particularly fa- miliar to the farmer, is on cotton. On basis of, say, 10 cents for middling the nine grades are classified as fol- lows:

 Wide Choice of Goals
 The consumer at Birmingham, it will be noted from the schedule pub- lished by the fuel administration, mas a wide choice of lump coals, deliv- cred prices ranging, in August. from a minimum of S740 on the low grade coal. to maximum of $11.10 on the highest grade coal. with numerous intermediate grades and prices-just as he has wide selection in other necessities. ranging from 45 cents Ter pound on porterhouse steak to 15 cents per pound on chuck; from $1.70 per sack GA pounds) on fancy oatant flour to $1.25 per sack GA pounds) on the low grade straight flour; from bk cents per pound on YC sugar 10 10 cents per pound on domino block sugar. And if he elects to buy the high grade coal in preference to the low grade coal, believing it to be more economical or more satisfactory and desirable on account of it's free burning quality and low ash, he does so voluntarily as matter of choice, and the public should not censure the coal industry of the state as a whole because of these necessarily high prices on this relatively small percentage of domestic coal, which is really in the class of a luxury, rather than a necessity. any more than the automobile industry may be censured as a whole because the Pierce Arrow touring car sells for ss.000, when. as matter of fact, the Ford touring car Is available to those of less af- fluent circumstances at $571.65.

about FIVE inches wide, has two loops

them in the mimicry of many styles

with caps having wired lace brims,
like the cap at the left Of the two
shown in the picture.
An excellent use is made of rib
bons with picot edges which can be
caught up by the crochet needle, by
