TO PRESENT TURKEYS CLAIM
Italy and France Are Against Turks
Claim to Thrace.
(By the Associated Press.)

Lausanne, Nov. 23.-The question
of Thrace was again before the com
mission on military and territorial
matters at the Lausanne conference
today.
Ismet Pasha was expected to make
a long speech on Turkeys claim for
plebiscite in western Thrace.
The enthusiasm of the Turkish dele
gates for "a plebiscite has evidently
been considerably dampened by the
discovery that England, Italy and
France are solidly united against the
claims of the Turks to western Thrace.
1t was apparent today that Greece.
Rumenia and Jugo-Slavia have the
hearty support of the three great
powers in their efforts to prevent
Turkey from extending her western
boundary beyond the Martha river.

BUYS COAL FIELD

PLANS TO SPEND $50, 600, 600
(Copyright. I9oo by 1. N. 81


New York, Nov. 23.-Henry Ford
today closed negotiations for the pur-
chase of approximately $20,OO0,00
worth of coal fields in Kentucky in
order to start in the business of sell
ing coal direct to the public-the first
step in his promised fight to free the
peoples of the lake region from the
clutches of the coal profiteers.
The transaction completed here by
Chief Engineer William B. Mayo, ac-
cording to reports, turns over to Mr..
Ford 1876, 900 acres of territory rich in
bituminous coal. A large part of the
field is already under operation.
In Advantageous Position.
1t puts the automobile manufac-
turer in a particularly advantageous
position to begin his battle with the
coal trust and gives him control OF
about one-fiftieth of the soft coal
produced in the United States.
In addition to the cash paid for the
mine fields, Ford has made plans for
the double tracking of the Detroit,
Toledo & Ironton railroad and for the
electrification of the road in order to
be able to carry the product to Michi-
gan. Ship docks at the River Rouge
will accommodate barges on which the
coal will be loaded and carried thru
the lakes In all, Ford plans to spend
$50, 900 900 to open his war on the
trust.
The announcement follows the pub
lication on Monday of the purchase of
the Dexcar collieryi situation in the
nonunion field at Davey. Macdonald
county. West Virginia, on the line of
the Norfolk & Western railroad.
Is the EIlxhorn Property.
The new field is known as the Elk
horn property. 1t produces the high
est grade of fuel used in the manufac-
ture of coke, which is most valuable
in the industry of making steel. 1t is
definitely known that the field will
yield more fuel than Ford can use in
the manufa cture of his automobiles
anu tractors The surplus will be sold
to the public and at a figure consider
ably smaller than consumers are now
paying.
In addition to double tracking and
electrifying the Detroit, Toledo &
Ironton railroad. Ford plans to extend
the road from the present terminal at
Ironton to point in the heart of the
coal field he has acquired. The entire
proposition means the employment of
thousands of railroad construction
men, miners and men to handle the
coal.
Power From the Rivers.
Power for turning over the road to
an electric one will be furnished by
the rivers the Detroit. Toledo & Iron
ton crosses. New bridges will be built
over streams Each railroad bridge
VII be built so as to dam the water
and the power. thus created will fur
nish the electricity to operate the
trains.
The decision to battle the coal trust
when Mr.. Ford was compelled to close
down his plants in Detroit because he
would not purchase coal at what he
declared was an exorbitant price.

Thrift and Wise Spending.

THRIFT was the special preachment to the
i American people for seven consecutive days
but there seems reason to believe that the period
might have been extended to eight in order that
the text of prudent spending might have been ex-
posted.
Thrift week is done, but the remarks of S. W.
Straus. president of the American Society for Thrift
are applicable to every week in the year.
Thoughtful attention, he declares, should be
given to the fact, particularly in this period, "that
prudent spending is as much part of true thrift
as careful saving"
One Of the economic ills OF tho present time, ;
says Mr. Straus, rs the general retrenchment by the
public which has reaction from tho waste
extravaganza and over-speculaton which imme-
diately followed the war
There is a vast difference between boarding
and constructive thrift. We must thrive. We mus,
make progress. We must move forward. And
these things cannot be accomplished unless there
is intelligent spending by the public well as in
telligent saving.
"Thc who makes an expenditure for the
construction of a home for example, is of more
constructive value to society than he who merely
boards a similar sum.
Saving is just one of the links in the chain oi
thrift. 1t is of the most important ones, but
within itself has not the value and utility which il
gains when linked with prudent spending.
I'VE sure no one will accept these words
depreciation of the sturdy virtue of saving
but at this time when there is much unemploy-
ment in the country and when many lines of trade
are not getting the volume of business that they
should be enjoying normally, it is important that
keep in mind the fact that the intelligent and
constructive expenditure of money is necessary to
the rightful needs of business and to the general
progress of the nation.
ITO spend money wastefully would not ac-
complish any substantial results.
Waste is an economic sin.
But to spend money in ways that are not
wasteful and that will mean more widespread en-
ployment in the trades and industries of the coun-
try is very commendable action at this time
"Let us understand that it is no heresy to the
doctrine of true thrift to spend money with pru-
dence and intelligence. For without these, prog
ress would cease"
The Washington herald., 1922-02-06
Concrete Deterioration.
Iitor. The Washington Herald: ::

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
have read several theories in
regard TO the cause of the unfortu-
nate accident that occurred last Sat-
urday evening. Cement is very sus-
coptibIe to weather changes. You
have noticed that the cement coat
ing Of stone fences soon cracks and
wears away. Contraction caused
by cold and expansion by heat has
been gr,iually weakening the COM
pactness of the concrete. Friday
night and Saturday morning IL was
very cold and consequently contrac-
tion ensued. Saturday afternoon
warm weather caused expansion in
creased by moisture from the melt
ing snow. Saturday night the cold
again caused contraction and slight
breaks in the massed roof that with
the added weight OF the snow. be-
came larger, crumbled and fell. A
drop of water continually falling on
one spot on the body will cause
intense pain and similar is climatic
action on substant mixtures effect
ed by temperatures, for. although
the action cannot be seen by the
naked eye. years of these slight
changes cause the destruction OF
concrete structures.
