secretary "a Commerce.

Much as we all regret it, / be-
lieve a great strike Of soft coal
miners to be inevitable for the fol-
lowing reasons: .
oNE-About 20 per cent Of the
mines are non-union. These OPP
orators have been able to adjust
their wage scales downward, thus
enabling them to keep down the
cots Of production and to grab off
the cream Of the trade during the
past year at the expense Of the
~unionized mines and miners.
The n%on-union operators have
been enabled to give their miners
more steady employment, while
the union miners have worked On
the average only 1872 days Of the
year, which at $3.50 average min
imum wage per day would give
them but $1,365 a year.
But this is not the worst Of it.
This average Of 1872 days employ
ment has not been evenly distrib-
uted. Many union miners have
worked far less than 1872 days, SO
that many Of them have had a bare
living, others less than an exist
efce,
oss OF business to the nnton
mines has naturally depressed the
operators, while the sight Of non
union miners getting sfeadier en-.
ployment did not tend to raise the
spirits Of the union miners.

WOMAN DOTOR SAYS "CRIME TC
BE FAT"

cit is a crime to be fat and in two
years it will be a disgrace"
That is the law as laid down by
DR.. Lulu Hunt Peters, physician,
dietician and former chairman Of
the public health committee Of the
California Federation of Women's
Clubs.
She<goes on to say: "It is crime
against love, against health, against
efficiency and society"
But DR.. Peters doesn't blame fat
persons for their present surplus.
GIN a year or two. because of the
spreading of the knowledge of how
to reduce, it will be a disgrace to be
fat"
DR.. Peters quotes statistics to
show that on the average the Amer
lean people are eating nearly twice
as much as necessary.
DR.. Peters should know WHEREOF
she speaks as she has been through
the exercise and diet mill herself.
AS a result of Kidding herself and
others of excess weight, she now
plans to devote herself exclusively
to the popularizing of scientific
knowledge for the benefit of public
health.

UNIFORM SALARIES FOR TEACH
+ ERS ARE OPPOSED

Uniform salaries for teachers are
not recommended by Superintendent
of Public Instruction Geo. Colvin,
who believes there should be con-
siderable difference in the salary of
the trained and unframed teacrer.
the trained and unframed teacher.
ers' salaries should not be based
upon certificates held, because of the
confusion as to the exact value of
certificates.
Letters have been sent out by Su
perintendent Colvin to city and
county school superintendents offer
ing suggestions for salary sched-
ules.
Superintendent Colvin favors a
minimum and>a maximum pay for
principals, for he is of the opinion
that the principal of a two-teacher
school is not entitled to as much
pay as the principal of seven
teacher school. The principal of a
high school, he said, is entitled to
receive more pay than a principal
of a small elementary school.

PRESIDENT HARDING AND THE
REPUBLICAN CONGRESS

President Harding's decision, &C
cording to press reports, to take no
active part in the election of Repub-
lican Senators and Congressman this
year, is thus commented upon by
Chairman Cordell Hull, of the Dem
ocratic National Committee:
81 think 1 can readily understand
this attitude of the President. Most
of the sitting members, it appears,
will, through the strength of their
respective local machines, be renom-
mated. 1t is. evident that the people
have already made up their minds
to vote for sweeping changes in the
present complexion of Congress.
President Harding's attitude of keep
ing alofr offers striking proof that
while he, in common with the Old
Guard crowd, was anxious to see
Newberry seated, he cannot work
himself up to the point of engaging
in personal activities in future sup
port of the present Republican Con-
gress. The most terrible commentary
on this Congress, therefore, is the
fact that Republican leaders who
could stomach Newberryism cannot
stomach the sitting Republican Con-
gress."

REVIEW OF POULTRY
AND EGG MARKET

Unreasonable weather still holds
back the marketing Of poultry, but
ter and eggs by the producers, caus-
ing firm markets for each product.
The demand for live and dressed
poultry is nominal and receipts about
usual for this period of the year.
Butter production should increase
from now on, and while the
demand is extremely good, it is nat
ural to expect lower prices.
AS the demand for May storage
eggs is not as good as for ApriPs,
the prospects are that the egg mar
ket will work to a lower level by
the first of May. This will be influ-
enced to a certain extent by the pro-
duction.

Rev. Roberts To
HOld-Revival At
Klondyke Church

Rev. Ira I. Roberts, who recently re-
signed the passionate of the Milton
Baptist church and who is now con-
Quoting a series of revivals at various
churches in West Florida, passed
through Pensacola yesterday on his
way to Klondyke, where he opened a
weeks revival meeting there last night.
Rev. Roberts has just completed a
meeting at Jay, where % people pro-
fessed Christ as their personal saviour.
Twenty-one of this number were bap-
tized Friday.
After he has finished the Klondyke
revival, Rev. Roberts will go to
Greensboro for a week, then back to
Pleasant Grove and later to Baker,
over in Okaloosa county. Wherever
Rev. Roberts conducts these meetings
people attend in large numbers and
