But her influence is mightier than
her years. For Orieta has just been
licensed by the Methodist Episcopal
church as preacher. She is be-

Orieta's attention was diverted by
woman, aattily attircd in fash
ions latest mode, WHO passed the
porch on which she was sitting.
ITS wrong for our women and
girls to wear such short skirts as
they arc wearing today" she broke
out.
Then she glaned down at her own
feet, swinging schoolgirl fashion
under the porch railing on which
she was perched.
'It's all right, of course, for little
girls, she added.
But the women Of today don't
wear enough clothes to keep warm

to put on this one and she glanced
apoogetically at her elbow-length

Orieta doesn't look like a preach
er She looked very much like the
| little girl that she is as she perched
on the rail, with a big black ribbon
tied at her neck, holding in the
blonde hair.
But her rapid flow Of words and
the shrcwd look in her blue eyes as
she talked indicated an intelligence
far above that of the usual child
Of her age.
Dancing and card playing are
wrong" she said emphatically.
'Jesus didn't do either and think
we should follow in his footsteps.

SO much in themselves, pu9 they lead

"The fast city life that modern

of the others"
None of Orieta's people, as far as
she knows, ever has been preach

Redwood Arrested

Redwood, the medicine man, that is
giving a series of free health talks and
a free minstrel show every night at
South G and 5th streets, was arrested
a few years ago at Hot Springs, when
searched by the police it was found
that he was carrying thousands of dol
lars around in his pockets, when asked
to explain where he got so much
money, Redwood proved that people
had given it to him because of the
good that his Tepee Herb Tonic had
done for them. Redwood now uses the
banks instead of his pockets, and be-
sides owning a large ranch near Den
yer, Colo, and an apple orchard in
Washington, he has large bank ac-
counts in different parts of the coun-
try. He has made it all in few years
by the sale of his wonderful herb
medicine, Tepee Tonic, that is doing
so much to relieve the people of Rich
mond of their stomach trouble, indi-
gestion, gas andNbloating, constipation,
kidney, liver and bowel trouble.
Thousands tell of its merits every day,
ask your neighbor, he is taking it.
Redwood's medicines are sold at Quig-
ley's drug stores. Redwood gives his
show every night at 1880, South G and

What the Coal Strike Cost

The recent coal strike caused total loss of
81, 100000 said speaker before the Ameri-
can mining congress in Cleveland. He asserted
that if every family in the United States were to
pay $45 it would hardly cover the COST
So much for the cost of the strike. President
Harding has appointed the seven members Of the
coal fact finding commission authorized by con-
gress as a result of the strike. What the Ameri-
can people want to know is not the cost of
the last coal strike but what is wrong in the pro-
duction and distribution Of coal.
Some facts are obvious at first glance. We
know that we have an almost inexhaustible sup
ply of coal underground; that the annual con-
sumption can be estimated to fine figure; that
the transportation systems can carry definite
amount of the fuel to various parts of the coun-
try, and that there is an abundant labor supply
to mine the coal.
Others are not so apparent. Chief of these

facts, in which the public is tremendously inter-
ested, is the percentage of profit taken by the
operators and distributors. The people know
that the labor costs this fall are no greater than
they were last spring, that rail rates are no
higher, and yet that the price of the fuel laid
down in the cellars is considerably higher than it
was in the spring.
Another factor that may be one of the deter
mining ones in stabilizing the industry, as well
as in preventing future strikes, is the number
of miners actually needed to produce the coal
needed for our annual consumption. Is there an
oversupply Of labor? Are mines idle part of the
year because the present number of miners is SO
great that they can mine our annual consump-
ton in few months of the year?
The public also wonders if the storage facili-
ties and methods are suited to the seasonal de-
mands for the fuel. If the miners could spread
their work over year. relieving the roads from
the congestion of transporting coal in vast guam
titles in the rush season, relief might be expected
from this source, say some investigators.
Sterilization of the coal industry cannot be
effected until the commission thoroughly inves-
tigates these phases and presents data upon
which remedial measures may be based. The
public has borne the burden of the costly coal
strikes long enough, and is insistently demand
ng relief, based on facts and not on the conjec-
lures and guesses of the operators and mine
union officials.

WASHINGTON, D, c., Oct. "a
Three o'clock in the morning may sug-
gest the end of a festive evening to
some people, but 1t is simply lunch
time to 200 workers in the govern
ment printing office. At that dim hour
when most of us would prefer dream
ing about pie to eating it, the women
who get the Congressional Record
ready for the early morning mail stop
folding and addressing operations to
eat lunch.
A year ago lunch meant dry or
soggy sandwich out of a coat pocket,
eaten in the workroom. Or else 1t
meant trip along dark street to an
open-allnight restaurant. Lunch at
8 a. m. was gloomy diversion at the
best in those days.
But now the big government print
ing office has gone in for humanized
efficiency The G. o. P. Cafeteria
and Recreation association is function
ing. When the a. m. lunch bell rings
the Congressional Record workers hur-
ry into the elevators that will carry
them to the new cafeteria on the top
floor of the building. After eating a
hot meal served at cost price, they
spend the remainder of their free time
lounging in a rest room, or in the big
assembly hall playing phonograph
and perhaps dancing.
| Cafeterias and recreation rooms In
! offices and plants are fairly common
nowadays. But the government print
! ing office claims some unusual tea
! lures along these lines. This govern
ment bureau is the first to organize
eating and recreational activities on
strictly cooperative and self-sustain
ing basis, with employees forming tbs
board of directors and the various
committees. 1t is also the only govern
ment bureau to run cafeteria serving
meals on "a hour day schedule.
Until a year ago the biggest print
ing plant in the world made no specla
effort to provide extras" for its EN-
ployes. 1t gave 1920 people jobs, ant
provided them with up-to-date equip
ment, scientific lighting, and hospita
in case of accident. If they wanted K
play or to buy cooked lunch the.

and cheering stimulants for the after
