purchasing coal and selling It to the
people at cost" But this suggestion
Immediately provokes the pertinent
inquiry: IL our regular retail deal
ers are unable to procure sufficient
quantities Of coal for the purpose of
supplying importunate demands at a
fair profit, how could an entirely new
agency enter the field and secure coal
to be sold under any conditioner" II
IL hardly probable the city Council
could secure coal supplies that our
regular dealers say they are unable to
procure.
II the situation were mat
ter OF attempted extortion by
dealers. in order to reap undue
profit from the necessities of the
people, the suggestion OF City Coun-
oil going into the coal business and
disposing of its supplies to the people
might prove an effective remedy.
But the crux of the situation IL
that II is not possible for even regular
dealers 10 secure nearly enough coal
to supply the demands of their Gus
toners.
What is more pressingly needed
than anything else is n rigid investi-
cation of the entire situation, with a
view to ascertaining why il prevails
and of applying an efficient remedy at
once. one hears many rumors about
stores of coal being held back at mines
and in railroad yards. but there is "A
lack of reliable and accurate irAorma-
ticn. This is a matter that Congress
should have given attention To weeks
ago.
So the problem remains perplexing
and most threatening. That the situa-
/ ,ion is one that should have been
averted is certain. But here Il is..and
the pertinent problenf is: What shall
we do in order TO bring relief?

Following adjournment OF the Con-
ference OF European Premiers in Lon
don, In order to avert an open break
over the reparations settlement. now
the great bone of contention. comes
announcement from Washington that
our government In now looking more
favorably upon the propriety OF taking
part In the solving of this grave
European problem. That we could do
great work In undoubted. but the re-
fusai of the Harding administration
to openly take .a>hand In any confer
cnce looking TO this end. by accrcdS
tied representation. has been an OBJ
struction to the good influence we
might otherwise exert. Thus far We
have assumed only the attitude OF n
"looker on" from the back door, ready
to give warning against any move
that might he regarded by the watch
ers as not in conformity with the ad-
ministration's halting policy. or 70
take advantage OF any proposition that
might result to our practical benefit.
Now IL is intimated the adminis,ra-
ton at Washington has determined To
do something" but how indefinite its
purpose. so far as public information
goes. may be dcduced from the follow
respondence of the New York Times
Of yesterday;
While the American govern
ment IL understood TO entertain
no desire To become cntangled in
the reparations controversy, there
IL no doubt that It's moral infu-
ence. which is now very great in
European councils, is being used
to the utmost in the direction OF
cndeavorinr to effect harmoniza-
tion OF the divided views Of the
Allies on the subject of repara-
tions.
What was said today was
mainly a repetition of statements
which have been made at the
White House and in other admin
istration quarters from time to
time, but there was a significant
intimation that some practical
step by the United States bearing
on the European situation WAS
either pending or in contempla-
ton. The government. 1t was said.
had not been inactive"
So. after all, there is no more posi-
tive information at hand than the I'm
definite intimation that the admins
tration has something in contcmpla
tion. What this may he is probe
matical Certainly the President an,
HIS advisers have had ample time fo
consideration. hut they seem 20 he re
luctant to take any decided step es
pecially by active participation I'm tn
European conferences.
However. IL Is encouraging 10 not
that they now propose to do some
. thing" II only remains 10 hope Il Wi
he something practical. and that IT
, launching will not he long delayed.

Destruction of Trees and Shrubs De-
pl0red by DIR. StFaunenmuller.
Not the children, but the grownups.
especially the motorists, are to blame
for the tearing up of wild flowers and
the Severing of towering branches from
shrubs and trees, says DIR. Gustave
Straumenmuller, associate superintend-
pnt OF schools and president of the
School Garden association of New York.
The autoiSts go out and return with
lunches of wild flowers and Towering
branches he complains. Even the
children who station themselves at the
crossroads to offer fistfuls of wild flow
ers would not do SO but for the niekels
and dimes Of the motorists.
DR. Straumenmuller tells of the Spe-
cial efforts made at this season, through
nature-Study work in the public schools,
to iustill a love for flowers into the
guind.i of the children and to teach them
to protect the wild flowers. lie deplores
the fact that n constantly renewed prob
lem is provided by immigration, with
representatives of peoples less disciplined
and less law-Gbidiug than those INFUSED
with American ideals. and cites the IN
stance of the east side park where the
thousands of plants set out to form
hedge surrounding the entire area were
removed the first day the park was
thrown open to the public, not one plant
remaining the next morning.
Ignorance and thoughtlessneSs he
places at the bottom of such vandalism.
The same sort of thing is causing the
disappearance of many of the native
wild flowers. He thinks that love for
flowers is increasing and that in time
people win learn to show greater respect
for the rights of others When this
comes. he says, public parks no longer

For the last 10 or - years nature
study work has been part of the pub
lie school curriculum. All the teachers
of New York understand this question
of the destruction of the wild flowers
and try to impress upon the children the
necessity Of leaving them to grow unmo-
Tested in their native hauntS. We also
have the School Nature league. which is
active in the schools. The children are
taken TO the nature rooms to see the
wild flowers. The constant burden of
our song id to protect them and not to
pluck them.
The trouble is not with the children,
though, but with the autoistS. who not
only pick flowers but drag down whole
Towering branches from trees and
bushes When the season begins they
may be seen every day coming back with
branches full Of blossoms and lunches of
wild flowers that are withered before
they get them home aud that they prob
