The Governors Coal Message.

In his message to the Legislature,
convened in special session to con-
slider the coal emergency, Governor
MILLER asked for the creation of a
single headed coal commission with
authority to. supervise existing agen-
cies for the distribution Of coal
and a $10,0o0,000 revolving fund to
finance its operations. The commits
sion would be authorized to establish
new coal distributing facilities If this
seemed to it necessary, but the Gov
ernor wisely believes that mainte-
nance of the service Of private deal
ers under official control is likely to
prove the best means of meating the
needs of the public. This is a sensi-
BILE, reasonable way to attack the
problem.
From the fact that New York State
has no coal mines and must depend
on getting it's supplies from coal pro-
ducing States the situation here is
not as good as it might be, but the
probability is that the great State of
New York will have fair considera-
tion by whatever authority under
takes the apportionment Of coal
among the United States.
Handled by a single headed COM
mission, such as Governor MILLER
advocates, whatever coal the State
Of New York receives in the appor-
tionment OF the available supply will
be fairly and appropriately distrib-
uted among the people of the State.
The Governor emphasizes particu-
larly the necessity of caring for the
small consumers who have not the
means to care for themselves and
obtain coal in the open market in
time OF scarcity in competition with
the large organizations maintained
by public utilities and great indus
trial concerns.
Though brief, the Governors mes
sage covers the fuel situation histori-
cally. explains the legal situation
with clarity and presents an accurate
picture OF the situation which must
be met next winter.
In this coal emergency situation
THE New YORK HERALD urges every
householder and all managers of In
dustries accustomed to use anthra-
cite to prepare their furnaces, cook
stoves. heating devices and power
plants with appropriate CRATES for
the use of soft coal. With properly
equipped CRATES and the supply OF
soft coal that we believe will be avail
able to all there should be no difh-
Guilty through the winter months.
1t is particularly important that
no time should be lost in getting the
new CRATES, as the demand for them,
in all probability, will be enormous.
Another way for the householder to
provide against the rigors of the
coming cold weather and to have
fuel ID to lay in supply of coke. To
burn coke no change is necessary in
CRATES: heating apparatus designed
for anthracite is perfectly suited
for coke. Coke furnishes a very hot
FIRE: ii ia light to handle, and makes
an excellent substitute for hard coal.

Luckily for shipping. the great-ma-
Jority of icebergs after drifting south

Then the far north has frozen up tight

spring and early summer months are
now fairly well known to the coast
guard. but sometimes one of the berKs

blown far out of this area before be-

An iceberg often is a thing of beau

from the thousands of faces of ice
and shining thru the natural prisms
formed, are a spectacle well worth
seeing. Icebergs in the moonlight,
once seen, will never be forgotten as
examples of ghost-Hke beauty.

Great Britain has announced that
she stands ready TO cancel debts due
her from nations from which there is
small likelihood of her being able to
collect, If the United States in turn
will cancel the debt due from that
country to this. In effect Great Brit
an would cancel uncollectible debts,
while the United States would be ex-
pected to cancel debts that are per-
fectly good. That she does not expect
her offer to be accepted is indicated
by the more recent announcement
that she win pay approximately
s125. 100000 in interest the coming
autumn. There has been manifested
in this country a certain amount of
sentiment in favor OF wiping out the
debts due us from Europe. but the
proposal never has attained any
marked degree OF popularity. The

Another expedition in search of the
North pole is under way. There is a
theory advanced by some scientists
that the earth dips every $4,000 years.
in such a way that first one pole, then
the other, experiences a spell of warm
weather If this be true it should lend
encouragement to the hope that some
body finally will reach the end of the
earth and leave no room for doubt
about it. There are many who do not
believe that it has ever been done.

WOgaa's E1Ehess Paid Woman writes,

All Of the thrifty moralists from
poor Richard down have preached
to US about the necessity of saving up
some OF the money we make against
old age.
It is good advice. Dreary as old
age is, at best, prosperous, and indie
pendent age that can surround itself
with physical comforts is a thousand
times more endurable than poor old
age that must lie hard. and eat scanti-
ly, and be thankful for the crust that
some grudging hand bestows upon it.
Money is the silver lining to the cloud
that hangs over our last days, and
foolish, indeed, are those who, in their
youth, do not provide the means of
Frightening the last lap of their earth
|ly journey.
Indispensable as a good bank ac-
count is to a happy and serene old
age, there are other things which are
especially necessary, and curiously
enough, like money, these also have
to be laid up while we are young
We can no more acquire them after
we are old, than we can set out at
seventy to make a fortune.
So there are quite a number of
things besides money that, we should
old age First, there's affection. Old
people have no power of winning love.
Their charm is gone. Their mag
netism lost. They live on the divi-
-dends OF the love they have laid up in
the hearts Of others, just as they live
on the interest of the money they
have saved.
This is true even of family affec-
ton The old father and mother who
are loved and cherished, and have de-
voted children. are those who were
tender and affectionate. and chummy
with their children in their youth.
They are the mothers who tucked hit
tie boys and girls into their beds. and
told bed time stories, and whose
breasts were a temple of refuge in
which grieved little souls found sane
tuary from the troubles of their lit
tie world. They are the fathers who
were never too busy to enter into
childish hopes and plans, and help
them along. and who were always
boys and girls best pals
If you want your children to love
you and be confidential with you when
you are old, you have to begin laying
up love for you in their hearts on the
day they are born. You can't go on
neglecting them, and being selfish to
them, and critical of them. and hard

months of 1922 number s,o5s. an in

crease of 10.6 per cent over the hith-
erto record total for that period set

times
