IF YOU ARE. WELL, BRED

You know a broken engagement
is always embarrassing for both the
woman and the man and you do not
ask questions or expect any other ex-
plantations than the formal announce
ment.
While a girl may confide in her
friends it is very poor taste for her
to condemn the former sutton or sug-
gest that the fault is entirely his. A
dignified silence regarding details Is
much better.

No interest is in such position as
well-organized labor to assume the
responsibility for and guarantee pro
duction and low production cost Of
manufactured products. Organized
capital has tried to do it alone, and
has failed. Unless it works with
organized labor, it will find a dan
gerous competitor in the legitimate
field of capital, in the organized in

SHOVEL COAL
FROM RIVERS
Many Pennsylvanians Are
Lucky-Are in Class All
by Themselves.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Dec. 29.-The
coal problem this winter is one only
of strong arm muscles and a vehicle
-4wheelbarrow, horse and wagon, or
motor truck for some of those
Pennsylvanians whose homes are on
the banks of streams which flow
from the hard coal regions.
er-coal-so-called because 1t is
found in the beds of these rivers
is the solution. The coal, in the
form of small particles, finer than
the grade known commercially as
buckwheat, has been used for years,
largely by manufacturing plants,
but the fear of shortage this year
has increased household consump-
ton, and many persons living along
the streams in which it is found are
gathering their own supply with the
use of shovel and cart or auto
mobile for transportation.
The coal is mainly the product Of
culm or refuse banks in the vicinity
of mines further up the streams. 1t
is found in the Lehigh, Schuykill
and Susquehanna rivers down which
1T has been washed in the years
since anthracite mining was begun
in Pennsylvania In many sections
of these rivers beds several feet
thick have existed, but commercial
dredging and pumping operations
combined with greater conservation
on the part of mining companies is
reducing the supply.
Householders who have gathered
their own winter fuel from the riv-
ers have found the coal frequently
in eddies near the shore, where it
has been necessary only to shovel it
out. One man, living near the Sus-
quehanna in the vicinity of Harris
turg, has obtained complete win
ter supply at only the cost of trans
portation. Commercially the coal
sells for about SO a ton. Forced
draft is required for its use in
household furnaces. and when so
used it produces, it is said, as much
or more heat than the grades COM
monty sold for household use.
More than a half-million tons OF
river coal, valued at neary $780,
600 were recovered from the
Schuylkill, Susquehanna and Lehigh
rivers in commercial operations
during 1921, state reports show.

INVESTORS LOSE IN

TOXIC, Dec. 29.-Another heavy
loss has been sustained by Japanese
investors through the decision of the
Moscow government to cancel con
cessions for cutting timber in Siberia
granted by the former White gov
eminent. Several Of the largest
firms in Japan had obtained these
concessions by the payment Of 3.000.-
900 yen to the old Vladivostok gov
eminent, and a monthly sum accord

APPLICATION OF
PURE FOOD Law
MADE PRACTICAL
Condemnation Of Cam ed
Goods Upheld = Judge
Cushman Reversed.

Reversing a decision given by Fed
eral Judge Cushman last June in the
Seattle U. s. District Court, the Cir
cult Court of Appeals at San Fran
cisco last month sustained the prac-
tical application of the National pure
food act to canned salmon and other
similar commodities, as administered
oy the Bureau of Chemistry, accord
ing to the Pacific Fisherman. At the
time Judge Cushman handed down
his decision ii was claimed that it
virtually nullified the purefood law
with respect to all CANNED foods,
and to sealed package goods in gen.
eral.
In the original hearing of the case
in the Seattle court, the defendants,
or owners of the salmon, protested
against condemnation of a lot of
canned salmon by the Bureau of
Chemistry after 1t had found a num-
Der Of cans of unsound contents,
claiming that it had no right to con-
denim more than the cans determined
to be unfit for human consumption.
Shu6C Suonuidh lOOh the
same view, interpreting the word
article" in the law to mean an in
dividual can of salmon rather than
the product itself.
The Pacific Fisherman, saying that
the Appellate Court rejects that in
depreciation. quotes from its ruling
as follows:
1.-THE meaning of the word article
must be gathered from a considera-
tion of the entire Act, and we may
add in this connection that the rule
of strict construction invoked by the
defendant in error has little or no
application to statutes designed to
promote the public health or public
safety. Section one of the Act pro-
hibits the manufacture Of
any article of food or drugs, adulter-
ated or misbranded within the mean
ing of the Act ; section two pro-
hibits the introduction of any such
article into any State .: Sec
ton six defines adulteration, and Sec
tion ten prescribes the procedure for
condemnation. In all Of these sec
tions we are convinced that the
word article is used in its broad
and comprehensive sense. and has
reference to the food product, not to

AMERICAN CONSTRUCTION
FIRMS DOING MUCH WORK
FOR THE JAPANESE NOW

TOXIC, Dec 29-Construction
work under way in Japan by AmerI-
can contracting firms represents sew
eral million of yen, with prospects
G; much larger volume.
The George A. Fuller Company al
ready has completed several office
buildings in Toxic. Yokohama and
Kobe, and has started on others in
the capital. Stone & Webster, Inc,
OF Boston, have in hand the con-
struction of high dam hydro-elec-
trio plant on the Sho River in Toy
ANA Prefecture, which is the largest
in Japan, its ultimate capacity being
10000 kilowats 1t is designed to
supply the various industries of the
west coast as well as those in the
larger industrial centers.
The most important of the new
work, for which the American firms
will bid, is the building OF small
industrial city at Tsurumi between
Toxic and Yokohama, for the Shi-
baura Engineering Company, which
is associated with the General Elec.
trio Company of America.
This firm has decided, owing to
the lack OF space in the vicinity OF
its present plant, to move bodily to
Tsurumi. Besides the buildings, there
will be water, sewage and street car
systems to be installed as well as
the other public utilities that go to-
make up a modern town.

the smallest individual container
Any other construction would defeat
the entire purpose of the law. If
the contention of the defendant in
error is sound, it is subject to fine
Of not exceeding two hundred dollars
for each can of salmon introduced
into the state, and to fine Of not
exceeding three hundred dollars for
each subsequent offense. Against
such a claim on the part of the gov
eminent, or such construction OF
the statute, we think the defendant
in error would have just and ample
grounds for complaint"
The decision then takes. up the
matter Of decomposition, which was
a subject of some technical discus
sion at the trial, and concludes that:
Decomposition means more than the
beginning OF decomposition; it means
q state of decomposition, and the
statute must be given a reasonable
construction to carry out and effect
the legislative policy or intent" A
previous case is cited to sustain this
view. and also to answer the argu-
ment that adulterated salmon is not
injurious to health or dangerous to
life it being held that no proof that
product is injurious or dangerous
is necessary.
Taking up the fact that the Blu
reau of Chemistry has previously al
lowed parcels of salmon containing
small percentages of bad cans to
pass unchallenged. it is held that
there is no room for controversy
over percentages under the statute
itself. for it excludes air; though 1t
is admitted that where the entire
the proof must go far enough to
satisfy the court or jury that the
adulteration extends to the whole
product; and while a small per-
centage of adulteration found only
in a small percentage of the product
might not and would not ordinarily
satisfy the court or jury that the
whole product is aduNerated. yet in
case like this, where the jury
might properly infer or find that ap-
proximately one-fifth Of the entire
product was unfit for human con-
sumption and that the adulteration
extended to the entire product, no
such question can arise"
To the argument that the court
should not destroy 1000 cases OF
good salmon because 400 cases of
the same lot are found to be adulter-
ated. it is pointed out that the Act
provides for restoration OF the goods
under certain restrictions, so that
the defendant may separate the good
from the bad. but ''the burden OF
SO doing should rest upon IT and not
upon the government or the ultimate
consumer. n ii cannot do this, 1t
is its own misfortune and 1t must
suffer the consequences"
