vancement rather than the crown
Of educational opprobrium.
BY the simple process OF cleo
trification the headgear that once
was an indication Of stupidity or
mental Incidence may be trans
formed into an Intellectual &C.
celerator.
1t is the belief of an eminent
specialist that the brains Of back
ward students may be effectively
"jaxzed up" by the proper applica.
ton of electric. currents. Brain
waves" turned loose in q school
room, this specialist believes, will
so stimulate the mental process
of the dullarts that they will soon
be moving toward the head Of the
class instead Of tagging along at
the foot.
In a recent address before the
congress OF the Britfsh Phren-
ological Society the physician de-
scribed experiments which he de-
clared had demonstrated the ef-
ficiency of electric currents In
stimulating mental endeavor. He
expressed the belief that galvan-
ism applied to certain regions Of
the head has the effect OF Inn
proving mental power. Expert
ments he had conducted, he said,
resulted In backward or indolent
students succeeding In examina-
tions in which they previously
hid failed.
Discussing the subject Of phren-
ology. he asserted that leading
anatomista have acknowledged
that ''the skull II nodded upon
the brains and grows with IT,"
The size and shape Of the head,
he contended. conform for all

v
ing Coal Commission. Of
which JOHN HAYS HAM.
MOND Is chairman. starts Its
work by taking q preliminary
whirl at the local coal dealers and
the jump In prices in this city.
Washington coal dealers are to
be, examined as to the prices at
which anthracite and bituminous
3 are being sold and the reasons
for the increases they are charged
with having made to consumers.
Colonel KELLER. chairman Of
the local Fuel Administration. has
been at work along the same
lines. Between the Federal and
local commissions It may be ascer.
tained whether there is profiteer-
ing amdNg Washington dealers,
together with a lot of other facts
that will interest the public and
OUGHT TO INTEREST CON-
GRESS.
1t is presumed, Of course, that
the Fact Finding Commission will
waste only a reasonable amount
Of time on sthe little fish in the
coal business-those in other
cities as well as those In Wash
inRton-but will use much time,
patience, and determination In
getting down into the deep waters
where the BIG FISH In the
business have their habitation.
Selecting the Goat.
1t is a national joke that the
majority Of Congressional and Of
ficiaI commissions appointed to
make investigations prepare early
to find a GOAT, and that the
animal Is invariably a scrawny
creature having no close relation
to the subject under investiga-
ton, and helpless to resist what
ever is said about him or done to
him. Then, after the goat is
chosen and the solemn facts are
presented to Congress. that body
talks much and DOES MOTH.
ING, especially where the inter-
ests of the public are on one side
and the interests of millionaires
on the other.
The Fact Finding Coal Com
mission may prove an exception
to the general rule. Mr.. Ham,
mond is an independent, coura-
geous, square man kho wants to
do what is right. however diff
cult 1t may be, when intrenched
wealth has powerful backing from
political chiefs who work in
mysterious but effective ways to
have the true facts suppressed.
II the time comes when Amer
lean people have faith and con-
fidence that commissions are max
ing reports and recommendations
without bias. and that Congress
really means to act regardless OF
threats and insinuations, II win
be a glorious day for Government

them from these huge profits will
have hard shedding.
II Investigations should show
that retail dealers are bene-

reveal that they are not doing
the right thing they will have no

are doing business.
1t might not be a bad thing Tor
the Washington dealers to un-
reservedly tell some Of the real
inside facts Of their relations with
the coal companies. including the
independents as well as the
trusts. Whether they can do this
and hope to get supplies OF coal

Goals at outrageously high prices.
Are the local dealers compelled to
accept this trashy stuff from the
coal companies on the plea that 1t
is not possible to give better

have to pay AZ much for slate,

And do they sell 1t for the same!
Il this inferior stuff being forced
on local coal dealers by the coal
. companies. or do some local
dealers deliberately seek and &C
cept it at cheap prices and then
unload II on Washington at high
prices?
These are some things We should
like to see the Fact Finding Coal
Commission find out. in addition
to data relating to prices, profits,
methods. etc. II Washington con-
sumers were getting the best
grades Of coal the increasing
prices might not cause 30 much
dissruntlement, but there is wide
