IONS OF coal were used.
Because of the enormous demands
for war materials modern by-product
ovens were constructed and in 1919
more than 81 per cent of our coke sup
ply came from these ovens. 1t is esti-
mated that for every ton of coke made
in modern by-product ovens there is
saved in fuel alone 825 pounds of coal.
When a householder burns a ton Of
coal he has sacrificed something like
1000 cubic feet Of gas, nine gallons Of
tar, twenty-five pounds of ammonium
sulphate, 2.08 gallons of pure benzol
and 0.56 gallons of pure toluol.
In our industrial life the use of coal
derivatives is just beginning to be felt.
The rubber industry depends upon
these products for solvents, COM
pounding ingredients and softeners.
Practically all types Of paint now use
a derivative of coal. Printing inks,
shoe polshes, brake Innings, dry clean
ers, perfumes, explosives, linoleums,
CLUES, pastes and Photographic de.
velopers, contain coal products as
basic ingredients. The paper industry,
the soap business, and the shoe manu-.
facturer would be in serious difficulties
without the by-products OF coal tar
The electrical industry would lose its
chief source of insulating material and
the doctors and druggists would be
without a sufficient supply of phenol
TO make their supply of everyday
drugs. e.,
Coal tar, the refuse of ancient vege-
table kingdoms, is valuable because il
produces galaxy of brilliant colors.
not so much for the colors themselves
but because in producing them so
many intermediates are developed that
are of inestimable worth to the indus
trial life of the nation.

Reform in Foreign Service

The country viii be gratified to learn of the
Endorsement by President Harding and Secretary
Hughes of the Rogers house bill, providing for
the reorganization and Improvement of the for
eign service, says the Indianapolis Star. ''The
measures would strengthen the American con-
sular service by combining it with the diplomatic
branch. It would increase salaries so as to avoid
the necessity of selecting men with private in
comes and also would provide for the retirement
with pay of those who have spent a specified
time in the country's foreign department
'"The chief merit of the bill is the fact that it
will give a decided impetus to the idea of diplo-
macy as a career. This attitude toward the serv-
ice has prevailed abroad for many years and has
resulted in the undoubted superiority of the for
eign diplomatic corps as unit, although individ-
ually, of course, foreign diplomats do not exceed
our own in natural ability. The needs of the
foreign offices abroad are met more promptly
because every member of the corps from tho
most remote outpost up to the leading embassies

ward our state department revealed by the
letters of the late Walter Hines Page, who was
ambassador to Great Britain during the war.
Downing street was unable to fathom the i'm
polite administration of that all-important de-
partment under both Bryan and Lansing, and
Page himself remarked that the letters and dis
patches he sent to the secretary, all of them
bearing on the delicate situation overseas, might
as well have been addressed to the moon so far
as any recognition of their receipt concerned
Secretary Lansing at least realized the need of a
complete reorganization in the state department,
and it also is apparent to Secretary Hughes, who
undoubtedly will give the problem attention as
soon as more pressing matters will permit
"In advocating the passage of the Rogers BILL
Secretary Hughes expresses the belief that it will
lay the foundation for service to compare favor
ably with that of any other nation The total ad-
ditional outlay has been estimated at S3785O0,
of which 800 would represent an annual ex-
pendiure. This is a small sum when compared
with the substantial improvement in the foreign
service machinery which would follow the reor-
ganization on the basis of efficiency rather than
nolitical gratitude The more important dlplo-
matte posts would be occupied by those whose
merit entitle them to advancement after pre-
lminary career through the consulates, legations
and less important ministries"

BY FREDERICK j. HAsKIN

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. s.
American citizens who come to Wash
ington in the government service,
whether to elective offices, such as
those of senator and representative in
congress, or to appointive offices,
learn a great deal about practical busi-
ness methods and finance. The gov
erment is so closely allied with busi-
ness that the servants of the govern
ment are thrown into close contact
with the great business machine.
These officials may be divided into
two groups, differentiated by the
things which they learn concerning
national business affairs. One group
is that which learns from the tipsters
and lobbyists This groups members
may be sub-divided into those who go
home broke and those who go home
rich, the former sadder but the wiser
men, the latter often with occasional
pricks from their conscienees. The
other general group is composed OF
those who apply themselves to a scien-
tific study of the formation which
functions legitimately bring before
them. These usually stay out of bust
ness entirely or go into it in a manner
so cautious that they are successful
In every group of men, whether they
are ditch-diggers or statesmen, there
will be found some susceptible to the
Wallirgford call of get rick quick. The
halls of congress and the ante-rooms
of executive offices of the government
will have just as many lobbyists and
sure-thing men in them as feel they
will find a welcome. The number OF
elective and appointive officials who
do welcome such parasites has been
growing fewer and fewer every year
but there are some left.
The lobbyist who seeks to curry IA
vor with a member of either house OF
senate frequently will give him tips
on the stock market. Not infrequent
ly these statesmen act upon such in
formation. Sometime the tips are
good. More often they are not But il
is part of human frailty that the
! gambling temperament never loses
hope and so tips continue to be taken
and acted upon. There have been net a
few instances of country lawyers, doc
/ tors, store-keepers, or farmers who
have come to Washington and been be
guiled by the lobbyists and the smooth
| confidence men. Most of these &c
/ home like shorn lambs.
What Wise Ones Can Do
| The other group is the careful an6
/ conservative one-the scientific stu
/ dents Of economic affairs. Probably
