LEGISLATION TO.
FIX COAL PRICES
NOW SUGGESTED.
New Problem Presented by
Opening Of Many Ma New y
) Mines on Union Basis.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17-set-
item ent in part Of the bituminous
strike and prospects ofSan agree
ment to end the, suspension of
work in the anthracite fields has
brought government face to face
with a new problem-the matter
of controlling the prices of the
augmented coal supply. \
The government during the
general suspension5of minipg has
used car supply as whole to
force price agreements to which
the prod operators subscrib-
ed to at the behest of Secretary
Hoover, but with new mines open
ing daily the controlling agency,
the federal fuel stributor, has
been con fronted with a possibility
of breakdown. Whether tn e
present system, which is purely
voluntary. can be extended to the
mines now being opened is a ques-
ton being given consideration by
officials.
Some of President Harding 8
advisors. notably Se--etary Hoover
are said to feel that Congress- will
enact some sort Of price regula-
ton to prevent sky rocketing of
coal prices as "a result of coal
shortage caused by the miners
walkout- Belief has been express
ed in some quarters that the Pres
5ident would include such a request
or suggestion in his message to
Congress on the Industrial situa-
ton, but no infornfa ton had ocme
from the White House today as to
the Presid ent's disposition in the
matter
The federal distribution COM
mittee announced today that an
other question that has come to it
for solution was whether grain
elevators should j, be classed as
public utilities and thereby be
F. given priority in coal supplies.
representa- lions have been made,
the committee said, that the aper-
alton Of large elevators in Kansas
City, Omaha, Wichita and other
middle western cities was matter
of considerable urgency at this
time VIII en- grain shipm ents are at
their peak. The committee was
said to hold that the needs OF
elevators come within the juris-
diction of the various state fuel
adminis tr ation. &c ~ l5 | "a.
Fuel Distributor Spencer point
ed out today that importations .of
British coal had showed a ten
dency;to lag because of the. higher
Spricestit comm ands as compared
with domestic coal and declared
that there is a real. need Tor a
British cargo coal and that ii

Unique Idea Brings in Money

Berlin, June 2-It was observed
recently in a small station on the
German-Polish border that the people
were buying very large quantities of
German newspapers. This was at
tributed at first to desire to absorb
the German point of view on the
part of the Poles, but some sceptics
insisted upon an Investigation.
The fact was brought to light that
a group of ingenious Poles was pur-
chasing German newspapers at cur
rent prices and reselling them as
waste paper with nearly 100 percent
profit. The paper is. pulped and re-
sold in Russia where it is again used
as newsprint.
1t is said the originators of the idea
have made much money.

Trotzky Qualities as Officer

Moscow, June 2.-Leon Trotzky
the Bolshevik War Minister, desirous
of perfecting himself in military
technique, has completed a course ir
the staff college of the Red Army
He has passed the standard examina-
tions and is now qualified as an Of
ficer. The examinations were given
him by officers of the old Russian
army.
How TrotZky, who is one of tn,
busiest men in Russia, found time tc
do this has been a surprise to his
more easy-going associates in the
Soviet government. He works from
early morning until the evening, but
takes time for regular exercise, the
study of languages and voice culture
He has developed the vocal abilities
of a field marshal, and when called
upon to address thousands of troops
in the open air, his strident voice is
heard even by the rear ranks.
Leon Trotzky has developed great
executive ability and he never con
Germs himself with petty details. He
exacts from his subordinates the
most meticulous precision He keeps
appointments promptly, thereby dif
fering from other Soviet officials
and he confines his business dealing.

Soldiers Reclaiming Land

s
McGrath, Minn., June 3.-Every
major engagement of the American
Expeditionary Forces in the world is
represented by 46 former fighters.
who, disabled and receiving govern
ment training, are engaged in re-
claiming tract of $500 acres of
land near here, title to which has been
placed in the veterans names. 1t is
the first project of it's kind in the
states. The tract has been. plotted
into forty and eighty acre farms. 1t
has been suggested that the. sites be
named after some of the important
battle scenes of the war, such as
Chateau Thierry, Belleaua Woods, St.
Mihiel, the Argonne., and others.
However, some fighters object that
their various wounds tand ailments
are sufficient reminders of. their ex-
periences.
Life on the tract is similar to army
life. There are bunk and chow halls
and the squad arrangement for work.
The men settled hersSlate in April,
coming from the University of Min
nesota agricultural school where
they were studying under govern
ment supervision. In fact they still
are being paid for vocational train
ing as their courses stipulate that a
certain period be devoted to practi-
cal application of their. schooling.
They are paying for the land in
installments from the salary of $1OO
month each receives.
The men, some of whom have FAM
lilies, are being housedNin large COM
munity buildings until separate
houses can be built. 1t is planned to
build school, store and church on
the property when the farmers have
become settled.
When the tract had been plotted
the veterans were grouped in units
to begin clearing land. The units
work on each mans farm one week.
The tract lying in territory devel-
oping rapidly as rich dairying and
farming center is chiefly burncd-over
land, unfit for reforestation and, in
its present shape for agriculture.
The new farmers present a unique
assembly of all nationalities. Some
were gassed, others shell-shocked,
others wounded by bullets. Then
there is "Frenchy," who had bay
onet thrust through his stomach, but
is now clearing land and looking
brightly toward the future.

Economy Courts
Thing of the Past

London, May 15.-Economy is no
longer to be the keynote of cour;
functions at Buckingham Palace. No
more ECONOMY courts" as thev were.
called, are to be held These were cs
tablished by their majcstes after the
war to set fashionable society muci,
needed example in curbing cytrava
gance. The seal of royal approval
has now again been bestowed on courl
trains. Indeed no women can be pre-
sented at court who does not wcar
them. OF course as a man the Lord
Chamberlain cannot presume to be A.
expert on fashionable feminine dress
but it is one of his many official du
ties to lay down the rules and regula
tons to which women must conform
at the most exalted of court functions
That is one Of the things for which
he is paid $4,000 a year. He has t.
be peer besides to qualify for tn
exalted Office which is accomtc,l i
among the political plums that tn
Prime Minister las to give away. TIL
present ! ord Chamberlain is in III
top class e the pccrage. He is tn
Duke of Atholl.
BY restoring the court train he ha
earned the blessings of the fashion
able dreSsmakers. But they woul.
have heightened their blessings if h.
had heightened the trains. Before III
war three yards was their rcgulatio
length, while Queen Victoria didn.
consider four yards too long. By tn
new regulations they need be only tw
yards in length and should not cXten,
more than 10 inches from the hcc
of the wearcr when standing.
To walk backwards before rnyalt,
in train three yards long withou
getting tangled up in it, imposes
severe tax on the agility and skill O.
not few socially ambitious womcA
Queen Mary is a very kind woman anC
she would naturally wish to spare hcr
sex making exhibitions of themselves
Hence she was in favor of the shortvl
length for trains.

Scientific Management
In Scandinavian Kitchen

Stockholm, May 31.-Co-operation
and scientific management have
reached the kitchen in Scandinavia
The caloric contents of the market
basket are no longer dependent on
chance or the persuasive eloquence
of the grocer and butcher, but reyu-
lated by culinary science.
The annual congress of Northern
Housewives Union, attended by dele
gates representing some $4,000 Scan
dinavian and Finrish members of the
League of Swedish Housewives, the
Danish Housewives Association. the
Norwegian Home Welfare Associa-
tion and the Martha Union of Fin
land, has just adjourned in Stock
holm after successful session where
most of the modern problems of the
modern housewife Were deliberated
and discussed at length. There wer,
no theoretic or revolutionary meas
ures on the agenda, only practical
problems such as face any housewife,
any day of the week.
These housewives unions have ex
erted considerable influence in deal
ing with servant questions and regu
lating market prices on necessities
Thus the Swedish League during the
war and during the hard times fol
lowing established cooperative stores
and formed buying associations thai
exercised strong regulating etfec
on the price level of household ne
cessities, especially foodstuffs.
The congress just closed adopted
resolutions to arrange for vacation
course of instruction in domestic
science and other matters affecting
the home at the Aas Agriculture
School in Norway, where student!
will receive instruction in various
household duties under capable in
structors and will witness demonstra
tions of the latest methods of runnin,
a modern home.
Mrs. Agnes Ingelman, president o
the National League of Swedish
Housewives, said in an address to tn
delegates that women nowadays hav
to keep in touch with politics, publi
administration and legislation affect
in gthe home. They must get to
gether, she said, and work for tn
safeguarding of the home, as for in
stance in it's building and fitting up
in arranging home exhibitions an,
stimulating public instruction in do
mestic sciences and in establishin,
employment bureaus, libraries and

"Then why can't leave things
alone?' he thought. E8
He decided to do so, but his decision
brought him no comfort. Toward eve.
ming he got up and went out to walk
In the farmyard. There he met Bobbie
Greer, who was just home from the mill
with his head full Of pitiful story.
This story Of the old mothers devel-
oping insanity rested heavily on Stow
ellis heart, and went far to shake his
resolution.
After day or two he began to find
his own hbuse and grounds haunted. He
could not go into the library without

cheeks Of the hearth. and the great
peemster would talk Of the great crimes,
the great trials and the great Judges.
But his worst ordeal was with Janet:
Not a word Of explanation had passed
between them, yet he was sure she knew
everything. One evening. going in.o
her sitting room. he found her with her
knitting on her lap, and copy OF the
insular newspaper on the floor, look
ing out on the lawn with f',r.of ex.
preston. That brought memories OF
another evening when he had told her
that no girl on the island had ever fall.

But going from Daliamoar 10 his

more about the grounds upon which the
prerogative Of the crown could prop

island had ever before been required to
learn. and when he had finished his task
he had no misgivings.
