Expert Explains Most Hope

Natural Supply.
EUROPE AHEAD OF u. S.

NEW YORK. Jan 21.-America's nat
ural gas supply is being exhausted by
criminal negligence and reckless extrava-
gance, according TO Professor Robert H.
Fernald, head OF the department of me-
chanicaI engineering in the University OF
Pennsylvania, who, in survey FOR the
American Society of Mechanical Engt-
neers, urges the use of by-product pro-
Queer gas to relieve an acute national
situation.
The rapid exhaustion Of our natural
gas supply through criminal negligence
and reckless extravaganza resulting In
drastic restrictions in order to conserve
what little we have left brings us abrupt
IL to a realization of the situation and
leads US seriously to query regarding
possible substitutions for this remarkable
natural fuel" says DR.. Fernald, formerly
engineer in investigations upon gas pro-
ducers for the United States geographical
survey and the bureau Of mines.
The situation is acute. 1t Is there
fore imperative that we begin exhaustive
investigation to determine the most prsc-
teal solution of the industrial problems
that have been for many years past so
vitality dependent upon our natural gas
supply. The results reached through
such Investigations may lead into chan
nels quite different from those under
consideration at the present time, as the
necessity Of the situation may develop
unthought-of possibilities.

ADVANCED RATES
BOOST COAL PRICE
Higher Freight Charges Add
to Cost in Bin.

The numerous increases in freight
rates which have been put into effect
since 1917 have played an important part,
little realized by the average purchaser
Of bituminous coal, in increasing the
cost of coal in the consumers bin.
Using Chicago as a typical consuming
point for the purpose Of illustration, in
1917, the delivered price of coal on track
at dealers yard was made up as fol-
lows:
Cost of coal at mine, IT per cent.
Transportation, % per cent.
But the advances which were granted
the carriers by Federal and State regu-
lating bodies changed materially the
ratio of transportation to delivered cost
on coal being shipped at the present
market prices The following figures
show decided increase In the per cent
of transportation cost.
Cost of coal at mine, Is per cent.
Transportation, IS per cent.
This illustration, gives an index to

substantial amount to the average con
sumer's fuel budget.
There are, of course, other elements
that have increased the price of coal
over that charged in 1917. There were
the two wage advances granted to the
mine workers in 1917. namely, April 1
and Oct. i; another advance Dec. Is,
1919 another April i, 1920, and still
another Aug &c, 1920. 1t is, of course,
obvious that during this same period
the cost of material and supplies, used
In and about the mines. advanced in
price in proportion to the increased costs
In all other lines of industry.
These are elements with which the
average consumer of coal is little ia.

in his bin and does not take the trouble
to inquire into the reasons for the In.
creases, but merely assumes that it Is
made up Of added profits for the pro-
