CHANGE IN TIME
HITS j. S. WORKERS
MaryIand's Return to Normal
Forces Earlier Start
This Week.

Government employees who commute
on the Metropolitan and Baltimore
divisions of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad have a hard week ahead of
them. Maryland upset the whole
scheme and will cause the employees
to lose lot of sleep by going back
to normal time, while the govern
ment departments here will not go
back to the normal time Of reporting
for duty until next Monday. The
railroads have adjusted their sched-
ules to Maryland's time.
There is only one train over the
this city and Baltimore, which COM
muters can take in order to get to
work on time. This is the train
which leaves Baltimore at 4:5O
o'clock In the morning and arrives
here at 6:27 am. giving the COM
muters more than an hour and half
on their hands before the Offices
open. The other trains have been
changed and do not deliver their pas
sengers at the Union station here
until $40 o'clock and after. Those
who have Communication tickets on
the Pennsylvania railroad are more
fortunate, for that road has not yet
changed Its schedule.
On the Metropolitan branch of the
Baltimore and Ohio commuters will
have to take the train which leaves
Boyds at $50 o'clock and arrives
here at 7:10 in the morning. That
is the only Communication train that
time in the morning which leaves up
that road. The other train, No. 81,
beginning today, started only from
Gaithersburg. However, it does NOT
leave there until 7:1O o'clock, and
arrives at the Union station at $40
o'clock. too late for government
workers.
On the Chesapeake Beach line the
commuters get a sort of half and
half change. The train leaving there
at $50 remains on the same time,
but the returning train in the even,
ing. which formerly left at 4:4O. does
not leave now until $40 o'clock, SO
that commuters will have to wait
around an hour longer

est aids to the ultimate development

KICKED AROUND
AS "BLACK STONES' OF NO NLUE

The first use of anthracite coal has
rather an unusual history in our civil
ization. In the decade prior to the
revolutionary war 1t was kicked
around as BLACK stones" in fact, it
was a nuisance generally. because it
was dirty and useless. When Wash
ington was a boy. down in Virginia,
the people of the Old Dominion knew
that it was some kind of coal, they
mined it and tried to burn it, but with
little success.
Wilkes-Barre Pa. became tired of
kicking the black stones" out of their
way, so they swept it up and into
their furnace. There is where an
thracite or hard coal entered into its
reign of usefulness and power in the
world of practical things and an in
cident in its history which made Gore
brothers, blacksmithS, famous in Penn
sylvania history.
FIntboat Cargo shipped in 1.75.
From Wilkes-Barre a whole cargo
of coal was shipped in 1775 down
the government armory at Carlisle.
Then, in 1898, Frenchman, named
Weiss, went back to France to help
finish the French revolution. and be-
fore going he sold land at Summit
Hill, near Mauch Chunk. to the newly
organized Lehigh Coal Mine Company.
The company had still to learn how
to mine burn and ship the coal. After
ten years of discouraging attempts,

Former Congressman Tells Presi-

For an hour today President Hard
ing discussed conditions in Europe,
particularly in Germany. with Rich
ard Bartholdt, former member of
Congress from Missouri. who has just
returned from a fourteen months stay
abroad. Before leaving Germany, he
had a conference with President

Mr.. Bartholdt declared today that
Germany was on the verge of col
lapse, and was in danger of falling
into the control of bolshevists of the
'reddest hue" largely, he said, be-
cause of Frances effort to enforce
impossible reparation payments. Mr..
Bartholdt declined to say whether he
had urged on President Harding any
action by the United States to allevi-
ate conditions in Europe. He said,
however. that Germany was in des-
perate need of substantial loan.

PHIL CAMPBELL'S CUR
TAKES A NEW TURN.

When Representative Phil Camp
bel: Of Kansas. one of the best known
and most picturesque characters In
the House, entered the chamber the
other day his colleagues looked at
him and were puzzled-he had
strange and unfamiliar appearance.
After a bit they found the reason.
Representative Campbell has Tor
years been recognized as a Dickensy
sort of character, principally because
he wore a lock of hair that descended
in q long curl in the middle OF ms
forehead. His colleagues were puzzled
because he appeared with this ac-
customed curl bifurcated, SO that the
single lock curled both ways.

MASS PLAY BEING
TESTED ON ELLIPSE

The playground directors and some
of the older boys and girls from the
various recreation centers of the city
are receiving further instruction on the
Ellipse this afternoon in the art Of
massed play.
The theory Of massed play is to so
arrange games and athletic events that
scores Of children may take part stimuli
taneously, instead of few. The DEM
onstration is beeing given by Mai. Frank
9. Wyatt, director of recreation, Of
Oklahoma City. who is in Washington
for a brief visit.
Maj. Wyatt recently delivered a
blackboard lecture on methods of stag
ing massed play to the playground di-
rectors, in the board room Of the Dis

LOSE YOUR GLASSES
TELL THE PUsHCART MAN.

son Of sunny Italy. who operates
a perambulating fruit cart along 18th
street opposite the State. War and
Navy building during the lunch hour,
has adopted some advertising that
has attracted attention. The other
day he saw a man pick up silver
spectacle case at the corner of F
street and walk off with 1t. Shortly
after one of his regular customers
told him he had dropped his spec
tacles somewhere in that vicinity and
asked him to help find them. He told
what he had seen and said that the
finder might come back that way. To
further the search a card about a
foot square was placed conspicuously
on the side of the cart. Big black
letters told all passers-by of the loss
of the spectacles and requested their
return to the pushcart man. so that
he could give them to their owner,
who couldn't work without them.
Probably everybody in the vicinity
has seen that sign except the man
who found the spectacles. At any
rate, they are still missing.

is safe stamping ground and peddling
place for vendors Of moonshine whisky.
Even the local pod hall, conducted by
Andrew Lake, sells the stuff to an ex-

law, order and deeency. Woodsmen
from the lumber camps cash and
squander their paychecks in Lake . pool
hall. Ever and anon, q fight is reported
to have taken place there. Even little
farmer boys are given q bad example
there and permitted to get drunk and
toyact shamefully.
The American constitution and the
flag are trampled on II Lakes pool

but hates American laws, customs and

The township officers seem to keep
their eyes tightly closed to lawless con.

Az a result, some farmers come to town
and spend money for liquor instead Of
buying food and clothing for their fam.
lilies.
So greedy are Andrew Lake and his
brother for money that they are cred.
