ing SO far at the edge of the. board or
table is able to keep it level, despite the
much greater population-weight of the
eastern seaboard.
The geographical center of the country.
or the center of area which, of course.
has nothing to do with the center of pop
ulation. is determined merely by drawing
lines across the country's greatest width
and greatest length. Ten years ago this
intersection was located in northern Kan
sas. 10 miles north of Smith Center. the
county seat of Smith county. And vet
many fasteners think of Chicago as
west
Besides the center of population and
the centre Of area" there Is still another
definition used by the census bureau-the
''median lines" These lines divide the
population evenly north and south of a
parallel of latitude and east and west of
parallel of longitude. In 1910 the in
tersecting point of the median lines was
situated 31 miles south of Winchester.
in Randolph county, Ind. 1t had moved
10 miles westward and 2.3 miles north
ward during the decade since 1900.
Although the center of population for
1920 has been determined, neither the
center of area nor the median point has
yet been found. They viii be announced
in a comparatively short time.

rotary of the metal trades department
of the American federation of labor. an
nounced yesterday. Mr. Berries said the
postponement had been made to give the
unions time to notify the workers of
the results of the recent referendum in
which the men voted against acceptance
of a reduction.
Union leaders here expect the men to
remain at work as they believe economic
conditions of the shipbuilding industry
make a strike impractical at this time.
Mr.. Berries said the subject was entirely
in the hands of the various unions, but
that up to this time no move had been
made to bring about a strike.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
DUN"

T IKE boycott" Jazz" "bun-
l. combe" and u number of
other words which are now ac-
knowledged members OF the
English Iamily, dun had its
origin in a man of that name-a
certain John Dun, who was con-
stable in England during the
early part of the last century.
Dun, as might be supposed,
was d past master of his profess
sion, successful collector of
debts. No job was too hard for
him to tackle, no debtors too
callous for him to prick their
conscience or shame them into
payment in one way or another,
one of the constable's pet
schemes was to call upon a
debtor twice, and on each of his
first two visits he would wear
his ordinary clothes. Then, if
the debtor still refused TO pay
and there was no doubt that OBJ
legation should be met, Dun
would adopt the stratagem of
dressing in some outlandish cos
tume-a scarlet cloak or a pair
of green tights-sO as to make
himself as conspicuous as pos
sible. Thus attired and ringing
q bell in order further to pro-
claim the reason for his visit, he
would return, and it was seldom
that the debtor withstOOd more
than one of these public an.
nOuncements of his delinquency.
Because Constable Dun was
so successful in the collection
of money due it became common
in such cases TO say, You'll
have to send Dun for your mon
ey" or You'll have to Dun him
to get it," and the expression
persisted long after the con-
stable himself was dead and for
gotten.

Childish Reading.

The child worships heroes and &C
cepts the printed word as an oracle.
Plausible action, for him, is not con-
fined TO the four walls of his nome or
to the street that he knows. and
books IN the first reading years do
not seem to reflect comment upon. or
make amends for life. The tale that
unwinds from their pages is more real
than reality. Never again, for most
of US, viii come that complete i'm
mersion in the atmosphere Of a story
that is the even mildly intelligent
child's inalienable biIthright.-Ex-
change.

Good Manners Make for Comfort.

Good manners are mainly system In
society. In a large sense the whole
human race Is society. We count 1t
good practice to keep to the right, and
those who keep TO the left are guilty
Of bad manners as well as bad
practice. Good manners is good sys-
tenn In behavior. System Is always
labor saving. and we need to look to
our manners In this modern day for
that reason. ...

The Michigan Central announces that
an investigation conducted at Niles

George Block, engineer and fireman re.

The Michigan Central flyer got the
right of way with clear signals, never
was derailed until hit by the Other

time to stop, and its employees would be
defended to the limit, the Michigan Cen
traI announced in an official statement

Investigation, still being made
brought forth mass of technical de
tails concerning mechanical operations

many angles of the disaster unsolved
The Michigan Central corrected in
depreciation of technical statements as
cribed to its fireman and engineer

mean that the two trainmen knew
they We're riding into a derail switch
set against them.
Soon after the disaster, /. Z. PitneT

said his investigation at the time OF
the wreck brought this statement from
Long. the engineer:
Il asked Block, as / always do, il
the signal was clear and he replied:

The statement that the signal was
going up" was interpreted by many to
mean that it was going from the clear
position to a danger position. The
Michigan Central announced yesterday
that when the signal board is upright 1t
is clear and means 90 ahead. When
closed it is at right angles TO the post
Thus going up means going up TO clear

Trainmen said last night that the an-

SEE COAL SHORTAGE,
URGE EARLY BUYING
Wholesalers Forecast Acute
Scarcity Of Hard and Soft
Varieties.

The warning BUY coal now" sent out
by DR.. Royal S. Copeland, Commissioner
of Health. is approved in a statement
issued yesterday by the Wholesale Coal
Trade Association, which says that an
acute scarcity Of bituminous and an
thracite coal next fall is an assured fact
unless users contract their requirements
Immediately.
AS basis for this assertion, which is
the canvassed opinion Of leading coal
wholesalers, the bulletin points out that
bituminous production is down to so per
cent and that the mining of anthracite
coal by Independent" concerns. which
produce 40 per cent. OF the domestic
Goals, has decreased 10 per cent within
the last few months
Coal men see no way to overcome
the approaching shortage. with Its ac-
companying high prices. unless purchas-
ers begin buying. They have given up
the psychological study OF the American
buyer as a hopeless task, for research in
that line shows that when coal Is high
priced every one Is anxious to secure a
supply and when the price materially de-
creases the fuel can hardly be given
away" says the statement.
IF coal buying Is delayed until the
fall the railroads will be unable to trans
port sufficient fuel from the mines to
the docks because OF the inadequate car
supply and congestion on the line" as
sert the wholesalers. the user of bitumi-
nous coal will be particularly hard hit"

HOOVER DISCONTINUES
SALE OF FOOD DRAFTS
Economic Situation in Europe
Improved.

Herbert Hoover. chairman OF the
American Relief Administration. an
nounced yesterday thai european food
draft sales would be Discontinued at the
end OF this month
In statement to the American Bank
crs Association Mr.. Hoover said:
I'VE have just completed a surve.- OF
economic conditions In the five, Edro-
pean countries served by the food draft.
We find that the Government OF each
of these countries is either In process OF
Sassol's-S control of food trade or con-
e5fcpistea doing so at an early date
This will relieve the economic situation
which was the determining factor In
creating the food draft plan. We ask
you TO discontinue the sale OF food
drafts after the close of business on Sat-
urday, April %, 1921. No drafts issued
after that date will be honored by our
warehouses in Europe. Drafts issued
on or before April 20 will be honored up
to and including July 30. 1891.
