GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
PREDICTS DECREASE

According tosthe United States
Geological Survey, last weeks
soft coal tonnage in the country
approximates 100000 tons,
which indicates a slight decrease
compared TO previous weeks. On
Monday October Q, the railroads
reported having loaded 3S,0SS
cars Of soft coal, the figures ex-
ceeded but once since the strike
ended. Tuesday saw the daily to-
tai shrink to 2S,047 cars against
30,566 cars on the preceding
Tuesday. The total for the first
two days last week. showed a de-
crease Of 2.3 per cent when COM
pared with the week preceding.
Anthracite production Is hover
ing around to 100000 net ton
mark weekly. Since the strike
ended there have been II 500, 600
net tons mined but this ts not suE-
ficent to keep abreast with the
current consumption and to meet
the heavy movement up the lakes
and replenish consumers stock
piles.
1t Is estimated that during the
week ending September 80. there
were 9,77S,000 tons Of soft coal
mined, or a daily average Of l.
629, 900 tons.
During the week ending Sep
TENDER 80, weekly tidewater ship
ments through Hampton Roads
totaled 2S3,987 tons, against 312,-
003 tons the previous week. All
rail shipments to New England In
creased 3,541 cars of bituminoua
during the week ending Septem-
Der 80. During the week ending
September 80, 10000 tons of bee
hive coke were produced.
Lake coal shipments during the
week ending October l aggregat,
ed 1,245,373 net tons, OF which
l,206,433 tons were cargo coal
and $500. tons were vessel fuel
This was against 1.453,6S4 tons

THE cLARING HEADLIGHT MENACE

One of the reasons for welcoming the establishment OF a
slate police force was the belief that once they were on
dutv natroHng the state highways the danger caused by the
glazing headlights on automobiles would be eliminated TO a
large extent. As the cars become more numerous on the
roads at night The headlight evil becomes more menaclng.
lhe nractice that some autoists have OF turning oil their
lights as the car approaches does not Improve matters any
as on heavily travelled highways a driver has to be turning
on and off his lights all the time and, as he trying TO mug

peonle walking on The side of the road, even in the
darkness. seem to take it for granted that the autoist will see
Them and turn out. But no matter how careful the driver
may be, when he is blinded by the lights of another auto
mobile he cannot see and unless he stops his car entirely
until the approaching car has passed he is helpless. But to do
that would be stopping and starting all the time which would
lie as much of a menace to the road as the giaring lights.
It would seem as if there could be some arrangement

AMERICA TO HELP BRAZIL
IN BIG CELEBRATION

terested also in our forest work, our
system of public parks and reserva-
tons, our mining methods, and the
life saving work of our coast guard.
There will be small displays from
the Army and Navy, and probably
one or more naval vessels will be
stationed in the harbor for public
inspection.
A. moving picture theatre is to be
erected temporarily next to the ex-
hibit building so that the American
exhibits can be made clearer by pic
lures.
Both the United States and Brazil
hope to come into closer touch
through this exposition. There is a
friendship Of old standing between
the two nations. Brazil Is of a
Portuguese speaking republic in a
continent of Spanish countries. In
the Spanish-American War, Brazil
out of all South America sided with
the United States and many years
before that Brazil sent a diplomatic
rept sentative to the United States
to. show her feeling of friendship.
New Expression of Friendship
Closer friendship will be expressed
now largely in closer industrial and
commercial relations. Yet as far as
our official exhibits are concerned
we can show our commercial pro-
gress only from the government
j point of view. The exhibits which
are sanctioned by congress and paic
for out of the treasury may be OF
government work only. Some Q,
| them show what the government Is
| doing in commercial ways, as in the
| displays of the Department of COM
| merce, but there may be no displas
of private enterprise in the govern
| ment building. American private
| oncern will be represented at the
exhibition, however. in buildings
financed by business concerns.
Brazil is eager to have the Unltee
States well represented at the ex'
| position. To further the trade rela'
tons between the two countries the
Brazilian government has sent Sen
| hor Sebastiao Sampaio, commercial
attache and member of the consular
| service, to visit the principal cite.
of the United States, He is o
travelling in this country and speak
ing in the cities on the possibilities
and the importance to the United
| States of South American trade re
| l~ations. Senior Sampaio is also in
| structed by the Brazilian govern
| ment to inform himself and his
government regarding the CONNER
| cial development of this country
| Brazil hopes to turn her centennial
| celebration to very practical account
