 Re-examination
By Associated Fress

Washington, February 5.--Regulatior of the coal industry to prevent prices rising too high or going too low was advocated today before the Senate com mittee considering the Calder Coal reg. ulation bill by Dr. George Otis Smith director of the geological survey
 Further light on coal mining profits of 1920 was also developed by re-exam- ination of David l.. Wing, statistician employed by the Calder Investigating committee, who cited some cases where operators took as much as $7.91 profit margins on coal which cost $412 to mine. The lowest profit per ton, he estimated. was $1.72, but only June, July and August earnings were considered.
 pr. Smith. was led into sharp tilts with Senator Reed, democrat Missouri, on cross-examination, the latter assert ing that the witness was aiming "at a John. D. Rockefeller stabilization of in dustry, to prevent competition"
 The committee will continue hearings next week.

! interesting account of how Troop

J city OF Hammond, which was In 1915.
1t was organized under the leadership
Of Rev, Adams assisted by Levi
Golden. Later, Mr.. Golden was regis
tered as Scout Master and built the
troop up to a membership OF 65, but
finally gave up Troop l to devote his
entire time TO Troop at the Chris
tian church.
Then Albert Towle, another troop
committeeman, spoke on the present
status OF the troop. He explained the
troop organization, present officers
and the facts as regards the inter-
patrol contests, etc.

the support that would be given it by
the church.
The fourth troop committeeman,
Cloyd Smith, then spoke on the rela-
ton of the Boy Scout troop to the

really an asset and a supplement to
the Sunday school and church work.

subject Of scouting and it's future.
Mr. Scott first told Of the early his
tory of the Boy Scout movement. He
told how it originated IN England
under Gen. Badin-P Powell, being
brought to America IL years ago and
org4nized under the combined efforts
of all the then existing boy organiza-
tions.
He next explained the steps a boy
takes to enter a troop and become
Boy Scout. describing the passing Of
tests and showing how they ultimately
work for character building and citi-
zenship training-the two great aims
Of scouting.
AS to the future or scouting, he
pointed out the fact that at the pres
ent rate Of growth in the year of 1881
there will be at least one million boys
who have had the boy scout training,
and the fact that Of these boys over
five hundred thousand Of them would
be voters and active citizens Of the
country This fact should be an in
suranc against future radicalism and
the promise of good citizenship in the
years to come
He further stated that the Boy Scout
movement would not fulfil its mission

Keeping the Kitchen Plumbing
In Trim

TO keep the white kitchen sink
free from scratches. it is wise to
protect it by means OF a rack made
from three strips OF wood fastened
to two crossbar pieces. II your ket-
tie or pan drops, it cannot hurt the
enamel.
II the enamel is stained or discol-
ored, rub it with some kerosene
and soap, but do not use sharp
cleansing powders, as the continu-
Gus use OF same is bound to remove
the glossy surface Of the porcelain.
If there are any stains caused by
iron rust or running water from
leaking faucets, little lemon juice
will tend to remove same.
Nickel faucets should daily be
washed with soap suds and dried
carefully; be sure not to scour them
with some sharp cleanser contain
Ing acid or Sand, as this will rub
the nickel plating OF in a very short
time.
Brass faucets have to be kept pol
ished all along, OF they will corrode.
The stub end of a lemon or grape
fruit rind may be used to clean
brass or copper faucet and remove
copper salts.
Be careful not to clog the drain
OF your sink, but after it is once
clogged, take care to clean It out
at once. Open the trap, so that ali
the foreign matter that might have
gathered there can come out into
a pan which YOU have placed under
meath and clean with long, pliable
wire.
See to It that there IS a small
strainer over your drain pipe. so as
to prevent small matters from fall
ing through. After you are through
with dishwashing. flush the sink
with very hot water Tor after you
