BOOTLEG COAL.

Henry Ford declares that he could
get all the coal he needs if he were
willing to take it out of the supply
that would otherwise so to the
Northwest where winter coal must
be shipped before winter sets in
and if he were willing to pay boot
logger prices" for it.
This latter consideration is one
that demands attention. 1t is Il
pretty serious business if coal dc
livery, at this time. is subject to
the same kind of ethics rs the de
livery of bootleg liquor.
Mr. Ford, very likely, could af-
ford TO pay the extortionate prices
for which. he says, the gambler
middlemen of the coal traffic and
possibly coal. producers in league
with them are Willing to let him
have .eoab fpssFis plants Al any
rate. he could easily cover the ex-
cess cost of fuel by marking up his
own prices. But there is a princi-
pie at stake. and Mr.. Ford deserves
credit for bringing it pointedly to
the notice OF the government and The
public.
This coal bootlegging business is
intolerable, representing as it does
the constituencies exploitation OF i
great public need. No phase of the
whole nauseating coal situation
more emphatically calls for action

CURE AND PRIZE

A bill has been proposed in Con-
gress providing for the payment
by the government Of S1,000,000 to
the person who discovers a perma
nant cure for any one of the five
following diseases: tuberculosis,
snenmonia, cancer, epilepsy and
aementia praecox.
The prospect of such reward
possibly might stipulate effort to find
these cures, though it is question
.sble. 1t is to the credit of those
who strive in such fields that
most of them need no other incen-
tive than love of their work and
The welfare of the race to speed
them on. On the other hand, ST.
100000 would be small sum for
the public to pay as testimonial
of its gratitude for permanent
cmc for any one of the diseases
in question.
Perhaps the chief drawback to
the prize would be that il would

THE WORKING GIRLS LIVING.

a representative Oh lle vi dSSd
chusetts minimum wage commission
finds from her Investigations that
working girl can live on 50 a
week. and for SIC a week can com
mand not only the bare necessities
but many of the comforts and lux
uries of life.
The larger figure seems reason
able enough, il the luxury it repre-
sents is not stressed unduly. AS for
the 50 a week there will be wide
divergence of opinion.
Unquestionably large numbers OF
girls. in New England and elsewhere,
do manage to exist ON that amount,
or less. How they do it, and what
the effect is likely to be on pos
tcrity. is a different question.
Less open to controversy is the
INVESTIGATOR statement that few
working girls know how to spend
their money. This accusation, in
deed. may be brought against the
big majority of people, in any level
of society. but it is most impressive
in the case of the poor working
girl" because the results with her
are often so tragic.
1t is mainly a question of know
ing values. The girl lives frugally,
but not shrewdly. She may squan-
der on clothing and skimp on food.
Or she may buy the flashy and
trashy clothing and food instead
OF the substantial. She does not
know values.
Here is a field for helpful instruc-
ton that is broad and urgent. No
less important than earning liy-
ing wage is the ability TO spend that
wage so as to get the living.

A congressional gesture, aimed to

All sides admitted the belated ef-

might be kept at work.
