REcLATRMING WASTE COAL

Laboratory studies by the United States Bureau of Mine indicate the possibility of retaining millions ot tons of inferior coal now going to waste at the mines by a new me thod of refinement, described in an H. lustrated article in the Popular Me- chanics magazine. The coal is pull verized sufficiently for free passage through a 200-mesh screen. It is then washed into a container and all lowed to settle, after which it is transferred to churn, with paddle revolving at 1000 r. p. m., where it is mixed with water. Oil is then added and the churning is continued. This action results in small egg-shaped granules, known as malgam. which are the ultimate aim of the process. and are composed of purified coal, oil. and 10 to 10 per cent water. The entire mixture is next poured onto 100-mesh screen and drenched with a fresh supply of water. It is then placed in the churn and washed until the amalgram is free of all mineral matter.

fortunes or the conservative party III the state of political party Aux in which the war and the rise of the labor party has left us.
 At the other extreme to the labor party there is the reactionary and rebellious section of the conservative coalitionists and between the two there are the/ uncertain currents among the coalition liberals.
 The idea of a national or center party was lauched sometime ago by Winston Churchill and indorsed by Lloyd George, who was expected to give the lead in that direction al the meeting arranged for him upon his return from Cannes. But by that time the Irish and labor excesses had apparently excited apprehensions in the country. On the strength of this Sir George Younger. director of the conservative party machine, had con- ceived the idea of a united conserva- tive party. dispensing with Lloyd George altogether and assuming the reins of government.
 Run Candidates Separately
 Whereupon as temporary meas ure of compromise, both the liberal and conservative coalitions agreed each separately to run their own candidates at the election, provided only that each side should keep out of the others preserves. It was sort of wedding contract for separate beds. And as might have been ex- pected, it turned out dismal fail ure. For in the series of elections of the last few weeks coalition candl- dates have been smitten hip and thigh by the liberals and left in the lurch by the die hards."
 The manipulators of the conserva- tive machine are the ones responsible for the political crisis, but they are doomed to disillustionment when the British general election comes. for the country wants above all things peace and release from the Irish and economic troubles. These manipula- tors will, I believe be made to toe the line until Ireland's election Is over and European clouds lift little so as to admit of a little brighter trade outlook. Then will come set- tlement of accounts.

Box Testing Machine.

ond chief object of the study was to
diminish the enormous waste Of goods
in transit due to defective packing.
BY the use of special machinery de-
signed at the Forest Products labOra-
tory, boxes can be artificlally subject
ed to the same kind Of shocks and
strains they receive in actual trans
port. From these tests it has been
possible to determine the correct
amount and quality of material to
use, the result of defects in the wood,
the adaptability of different species
of wood, and the best types of box
and crate construction.
The results of these investigations
have recently been compiled by the
Forest Service and published in book
form under cooperative arrangement
with the National Association Of Box
Manufacturers.
In addition the book includes the
standardized specifications for box
making tentatively adopted by the
American Society for Testing Mate
rails, and also key to the identified
ton of the chief wood species used
in the construction of boxes and

Many Of the difficulties and losses
that shippers of hay encounter would
be eliminated If more care were eXer
Cised when making sales to see that
all terms are clear and practicable and
that both seller and buyer have the
same understanding of them. This
can be accomplished by observing the
following suggestions by the bureau
Of markets and crop estimates, United
States Department of Agriculture:
State clearly in all offers or accept
ances all necessary factors, including
quality and quantity of hay, together
with time Of shipment, routing, rates,
price and terms of payment.
Confirm all sales and purchases by
letter. in which is stated all terms as
understood by the seller or the buyer,
as the case may be.
Upon receipt of confirmation, cor
rect Immediately any items that APP
pear to be incorrect.
MAKE ermS CIedf!
Too much emphasis cannot be
| placed upon the matter of care in stat
ing terms when making sales or pur-
Chases. A greater part of such trans
actions are usually by telephone or
telegraph which makes brevity neCeS-
sary. A few more cents spent in tele-
| phone or telegraph charges however
is better than several dollars lost on
an unsatisfactory shipment. On the
part of the shipper, therefore, when
offering hay for sale, whether the offer
is by wire or letter, the following
should be stated:
(a) Quantity by bales, tons, or car.
loads. If by balls, the size should al
ways be given, and if by tons or car
| loads, it is we'll also to state the size
of bales that will be shipped, as there
is a decided preference in certain sec
tons for certain types and sizes OF
| bales.
(b) Quality, either in descriptive
terms or in the terms of state or com
mercial grades When commercial
grades are used it must be made GER
tain that both buyer and seller under
stand what standards are being used
1t is sometimes advisable to state
what inspection agency is to deter
mine the grade.

MAKING SUCCESS OF GARDEN
Soils Must Be Deep, Mellow and FRI
able and In CrumbIy State When
PIoWed or Hoed.

The success Of a garden is largely
due to the manner in which the soil
has been prepared. The soil must be
deep, mellow and friable, so that it
will be in a crumbly state when
plowed or hoed. That is, the minute
particles Of the soil must be granular,
each maintaining its form and con.
sistency. When such soil is wet, each
portion is envelOped by film of water
which is retained for some time. The
plant food is thus dissolved and this
water-laden plant food is taken by
the roots of the plants.

terms of immediate" quick" or

ing Interpretation: Immediate" or
rush" is shipment within three calen-
dar days, quick" five calendar days,
and prompt" ten calendar days, Sun
days and holidays excluded in each
instance.
(d) The routing which can be made
by the shipper, or that which is de-
sired by the buyer, should be made in
the first bid or offer, as it is an impor-
tant item and, together with the rates
applying, may be the determining fac
tor in the transaction. Instead of
stating the rate the point at which
the price applies may be given, such
as "f. o. b. shippers track or "deliv-
cred buyers station"
(e) The price should be stated clear
ly and it should also be made clear for
what length of time the bid or offer
holds good and whether or not the ac-
ceptance of either is subject to con-
firmation by the maker.
Send Confirmation Promptly.
When a bid or offer has been accept
ed and sale consummated whether
by letter or wire, a confirmation by
letter, setting forth in detail all the
terms and conditions of the transac-
ton, should be mailed by each party
to the other. If, upon receipt of these
combinations, either party notes any
item that Is contrary to his under
standing Of the terms he should notify
the other Immediately by telegraph, so
that all errors may be corrected be-
fore shipment is made. If the hay
was ready for shipment when the sale
was made, however, 1t may not be
possible for the shipper to wait for a
written confirmation of the acceptance
by the buyer, but he should forward a
telegram to the buyer confirming the
terms Of his original offer and his un-
