BUSINESS STATEMENT
A HUMAN DOCUMENT

The business statement OF the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Com
pany for 1921 contains interesting
matter not generally found IN the
statement OF financial corporation
II relates to the human side Of a
great business. The companys
assets are more than one billion, one
hundred and fifteen million dollars
and It's policies outstanding are
more than twenty-five and half
millions.
While the year 1921 in the popu-
lar mind is put down as a year OF
dull business, life insurance has been
an exception. The Metropolitan
again held the record among all
companies in the world in 1921 with
s1,564, 4,7s9,6 ,6O7 new insurance placed
on the books. Its assets increased
more than one hundred and thirty
million dollars. and its income was
{3s,462,91s more than It was in
1920.
In 1921 the death rate among In
dustrial policy-holders reached its
lowest point-s1 per cent lower than
It was ten years previous. The rate
from typhoid fever decreased II per
cent; from tuberculosis, 40 per cent;
from Bright's disease. nearly 80 per
cent. and from infectious diseases OF
children nearly 81 per cent. The
records kept by the company show
that. compared with 1911, there
were, in 1921. 5000 fewer deaths
than there would have been If the
1911 death rate had prevailed. While
there has been a general public

! THE NEW YORK HERALD yesterday ono
OF the most gratifying things in his Of
| ficiaI experience has been the hearty CO
operation he has had from the Mayor
from the first day OF his appointment
! by the Governor. He expressed this SEN
timent in a cordial letter with which he
replied to the Mayors request.
Another cause for qualification, Mr.
Woodin said. has been the sincere and
efficient cooperative attitude OF the coal
dealers. His experience In this emerg-
ency has convinced him. he asserted
that more than s5 per cent. OF the coal
dealers are absolutely ION the level"
There are not many conscienceless
profiteers among them" he said. but
II there were. the knowledge that we
are clothed with authority to walk in
and inspect their books and records at
any moment. just as a bank examiner
may walk into a bank. doubtless is a
salutary influence"
Early in his incumbency Mr.. Woodin
did walk just like that into the office
of one of the largest coal concerns in
New York. In an unpresuming tone he
asked If he might see the president.
What do you wish to see him about?"
asked the efficient girl secretary.
About COAL" replied the State Fuel
Administrator.

Won't you just give me your COM
plaint please?"
Then Mr.. Woodin presented his card.
The president of the big coal company
saw him, and he has been one of the
Administrators best coadjutors ever
since.

BITUMINOUS rs CHEAPER

The anthracite coal shortage con-
fronting the United States is far in
excess Of $1,000, 900 tons. That fact was
made known authoritatively yesterday
from the Office Of the State Fuel Ad-
ministration, i65 Broadway. Even
though the mines should work con-
tinuously at their full capacity, which
they have not done since resumption
OF operations, 1t is inevitable that the
shortage will amount at least to that
figure.
Despite that outlook, it was declared
on the same authority that there are
lying at New York tidewater 1.13S
carloads of the steam making sizes,
that all available barges are loaded
with it, but that virtually nobody
wants to buy II, though it retails at
about $40 ton. The trouble is that
the average domestic consumer insists
upon having the. larger sizes of an
thracite to which he has been accus-
tomed-egg and stove-despite the
certainty that there is not going to be
enough Of those sizes to go round.

accustomed. But he win not ask the
public to do anything he Is unwilling TO
do in his own household. To prove his
oft repeated statement that the buck
wheat and pea sizes of anthracite. and
even bituminous substitutes, can be
used advantageously in domestic heat
ing plants during the emergency, Mr.
Woodin has been experimenting In the
furnace of his home at 752 Park ave-
nue. He says he has found that not
only may these substitutes be used with
satisfaction but that they yield a great
er heat and effect an actual saving in
fuel bills.
1T is time the public walked up TO the
fact" said high official of the Fuei
Administration. that. while egg and
stove sizes are hard to get. there is
plenty OF the steam sizes of anthracite
just at present. In small furnaces the
smaller coal can be placed on top of
bed of the larger size fuel with salts
factory results. The furnace can be
banked at night with steam sizes of
coal In small furnaces 1t is perfectly
feasible 10 place a little chicken coop
wire screen over the CRATE bars, and
then, with either wood or a small guam
tity of soft coal TO start the fire, as
sure good results"
In the hope that 1t may help to edu-
cate the public, the Fuel Administra-
ton is distributing broadcast little
folders quoting the recent orders of the
Navy Department to all Its Washington
employees, advising them how to use
coal economically in the household.
Hints on Economy.
Here are some of the suggestions
from that source:
'At night. after the fire is shaken
down and some OF the larger coal put
on, the fire can be banked for the night
by shoveling on a top dressing Of No.
buckwheat. This top dressing tends to
hold down the draft and aids in the
proper and economic combustion of the
coal body as a whole. In the morning
at least in mild weather. the furnace
should be shaken down as usual and
fired with some OF the regular coal
After the fire has begun burning well
IL can be checked or banked by using a
quantity of the fine coal as top dressing
THE two sizes OF coal never should be
mixed but kept In separate bins. The
buckwheat should be used only as a top
dressing and should not be used except
with the larger sizes of anthracite. The
ordinary furnace does not have sufficient
draft to produce satisfactory results
when bnciSwheat is used with either
chestnut or pea COAL The exact proper
ton OF small and large coal should be
determined by experience and by
weather conditions Shake the CRATES
with short strokes--just enough to re-
move most OF the ashes-and leave a
layer OF ashes on the CRATE to prevent
the coal from falling through.
IF you change your order. or at least
part OF 1t. to egg and pea or egg and
No. buckwheat you will get quicker
delivery as well as save money"
