GENEROUS.

The Red Cross figures that Ameri-
cans have given $256,375,000 to re-
lieve war distress in Is European
countries.
Cynics, with acid temperaments,
comment that this is only $3.50 for
each of us. A liberal estimate.
However, it is equivalent to 500,-
900 men donating the entire fruits of
their labor for whole year.
That isn't bad, considering the
libels about Americans being selfish.
It'd be very cold day in August be-
fore other nations would do as much
for us.

YOU AND |
DISCOVER WOMEN THINK
ONLY OF PROBLEMS OF
REAL ~, IMPORTANCE IN
POLITICS.

MEN, all of whom are animated
AVA by vanity and egotism, constant
" are discovering they have prob
lens they imagine are of stupendous
importance.
They notice, especially lately,
that women do not pay much atten-
tion to what men consider solemn
problems.
Hence, the men reason, women
must be surface thinkers. The men
discuss this among themselves, and
nod gravely, "You tickle me, /
tickle you"
Women, who reason only in the
sub-conscious or instinct, realize that
little is important except making a
living for the family and perpetual
ing the human race by having chill
dren.
That is sound thinking-funda-
mental. Women concern themselves
only with the really important.
Hence they yawn when the men be-
come excited about nothing.

COAL MARKETS

SOAL mANhE L >
CURPLUS stocks of bituminous
- coal are now over 60,000,000
tons. This would supply the nations
needs for about seven weeks, if all
mines were shut down, including nom
union mines. Coal reserves are be-
ing increased only 100000 tons a
week.
The country now is consuming
soft coal at rate of 100000 tons a
week. That's 100000 tons a week
more than could be produced by all
non-union mines running at 100 per
cent capacity. %
Using these figures, coal operators
say that an actual coal shortage, IN
event the union miners strike, would
not develop for four or five months.
The miners strongholds are Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois, These three
states are most strongly unionized at
present, and the Goals they produce
would be first to develop a frightened
market.
FREIGHT CARS.
Idle freight cars now total about
440, 900, compared with 623,832 idle
cars the first of the year. These fig
ures include good-order cars ready
for use, also cars out of commission
because they need rerairs.
FREIGHT MOVEMENT
An average of 100000 cars of
freight week are being loaded on
all American railroads. This is
around 81 1000 cars a week more than
a year ago. About half of the gain is
due to heavy buying of coal in anti
cipation of a coal strike.
STORED OIL.
Refiners have in storage enough
gasoline to supply the country for
40 days. Other stocks are approx
mately: Kerosene 60 days, fuel and
gas oil, so days, lubricating oils, 100
days.
Premiums on crude are offered
again in Texas, where pipeline COM
panies admit they are having diff
Guilty contracting as much produc-
tion as they want.
PRICES
Prices, after a temporary stiffen-
ing, again are slipping. Wholesale
prices average about 48 per cent
higher than pre-war, with cost of liv-
ing about so to 55 per cent higher
than 1914.
WOOL
Wool consumption in leading ma
tions now'is up almost to the pre-
war rate. Raw stocks are getting
lower. Wool stocks in United States
are the lowest in 10 years. The out
look in the wool industry is for equili-
brium within few months.
JAPAN
Japan, where world depresson
started on big scale, reports that
its exports in January were worth
87,200,000 yen, against 75,067 ,00C
yen in January, 1921. The gain in
physical value of trade is much larger
for prices are lower now than a year
ago.
MONEY
Despite lower prices, which nor
mally should show up in smaller
bank clearings, the nations clearings
last week in February were $50 foi
each $50 in the corresponding week
Of 1921.

WIVES

Every married man has had this
experience: Husband meets man
with an impressive '"ont, swallows
aim, hook, line and Aer.
He is so impressed that he insists
on wife meeting him. Friend wife,
meeting the stranger, isn't impress
ed.
Why? Well, she doesn't know ex-
actly-the stranger has a peculiar
look about the eyes; he wears the
wrong color necktie, or looks as if
he were mean to his wife.
Time proves the wife was right in
her size-up. Instinct, the sixth
sense, told her.
The only accurate clairvoyant is a
woman's intuition.

shopmen's organization, declared.
Several members Of the executive
committee were in session here today
formulating plans for Mondays meet
ing.
Striking shopmen are making their
supreme effort to gam peace agree
ment with approximately 81 eastern
and western railroads.
Peace proposals offered to "strate-
Ole lines were TO be discussed At a
meeting Of the Shopmen's policy COM
mittee called to meet here Monday.
Railroad executives here continued
to deny that a peace agreement with
any group Of railroads had been
reached, but indicated that such set
Element may result from the latest
move.
Shopcrafls leaders under the direc-
ton Of Bert NJ. Jewell, president, of
fered a compromise agreement to those
roads which in recent negotiations
proved the most amenable.
4 cceDtance Of the compromise by
these roads would force other roads
into line, a high railroad official de,
clared today.

that the Attorney General went en-
tirely too far in asking for the re-
strictions against the striking railroad
employees and their representatives
1t is true, however, that transporta-
ton is being severely hampered in
certain sections Of the country and
that the people would face serious
consequences, both for want Of fuel
and food, if the railroad strike were
to continue for an indefinite period.

General, you are bound to hear both
sides of the controversy.
