JOHN c. BRYDoN

The bituminous branch Of the coal
industry, on which the United
States Coal Commission is to report
in the autumn, has meanwhile taken
definite steps along the line of self
organization to serve the public in
emergencies.
John c. Brydon, who as chairman
of the special committee appointed
to cooperate with the Presidents
commission has been in close touch
with the internal affairs of the in
dustry and with outside reactions,
was unanimously elected president
of the National Coal Association at
that body's convention during the
latter part Of June.
Mr.. Brydon has advanced a plan
for minute man" organization of
the 5000 independent bituminous
operators, making the entire soft
coal supply of the nation instantly
available in any crisis of peace or
war. His suggestions, requiring
only an enabling act of Congress to
empower the President to declare an
emergency and draft coal resources,
were formulated in advance Of sim
liar recommendation by the coal
commission, affecting the anthra-
cite branch of the industry.
"A committee from this body"
Mr.. Brydon told the men who elect
ed him their leader, "should consult

be exempt during such period of
disability from the requirements

duty of the superintendent of
the school district, if there be
such superintendent, and if not,
then the county superintendent
of schools, to hear and deter
mine all applications of children
desiring for any of the causes
mentioned here, to be exempted
from the provisions Of this arti-
Gle, and if upon such application
such superintendent hearing the
same shall be of the opinion that
such child for any reason is en-
titled to be exempted as afore-
said, then such superintendent
shall issue a written permit to
such child, stating therein his
reason for such exemption. An
appeal may be taken from tile
decision Of such superintendent
so passing upon such application
to the probate court of the coun-
ty in which such district lies,
upon such child making such ap-

with the War and Navy Depart
ments concerning their possible
emergency needs and also with the
Interior and Commerce Depart
ments. We should hold ourselves
responsive to requests from any Of
the departments.
"This plan should include the per-
sonnet, so that when an emergency
does arise they may go individually
and collectively to their pre-ar-
ranged posts and begin to function.
This personnel may be changed
from time to time as circumstances
demand, but personnel can always
be, and should always be provided.
This plan should be so compre-
hensive that it would not only apply
to the central organization at Gov
eminent headquarters but to the re-
hottest coal-producing districts in
the United States. Such a plan,
when worked out to the last detail,
with the informal approval of the
Government and transportation,
would need only an act Of Congress
to legalize it at the time the emer-
gency arises. Once accepted by the
Government, it would rival any pre-
vious unsolicited effort Of an indus
try to serve the nation unselfishly
and be virtual guarantee Of reg
ular soft coal supply at fair prices
to the public In crises."

FEW WALK IN STRAIGHT LINE
Physical Imperfections Cause Pedes-
trians to Take a Ziozao Course
In Their Journeylngs.

How do you walk? Do you proceed
In a straight line or zigzag from side
to side7
II you watch a number of pedes-
TRANS you will find that nine out Of
ten bear to the right, return to their
proper course, and then start swerving
to the right again.
This Is because our right leg Is
more fully developed and stronger
than our left. A left-handed person
usually swerves to the left In walk
Ing, for in his case the left side Is the
more powerful.
II man is slightly deaf in his left
ear he will swerve to the left. If his
other ear IL affected he will go In the
opposite direction. This Is because
the deaf stoop slightly on the side on
which they can hear least.
Short-sighted people will swerve to
the side On which they have their
worst eye. Even people who are per-
fectly well physically and whose bodies
are evenly developed zigzag In their
walk. This Is because their thoughts
wander and their legs have not SUI
ficlent guidance.

Association Said to Have Originated
In Venice, Though II Is Credited
to England
The expression blue Stocking" Is
applied sometimes trifle scornfully,
to woman who is unusually learned.
The term originated In Venice when
In 140O a society was formed Of ladies
and gentlemen calling themselves
della calza"-all the members of the
society being distinguished by the
wearing Of blue stockings. The idea
was taken up In Paris and became the
rage among the lady savants of that
city. From France 1t came to England
In 1880 when Mrs. Montague displayed
the badge Of the Bas-bleu club at her
assemblies Mr. Stillingfieet. con
slant attendant of the soirees, went by
the name Of Blue-Stockings. Boswell
In his life of DR.. Samuel Johnson tells
something of the first of the blue
stockings in England, and although
he writes as If the club had originated
In England instead of Venice, his ac-
count Is interesting. He says: zone
Of the most eminent members Of those
societies, when they first commenced
was Mr.. Stillingfieet, whose dress was
remarkably grave and In particular 1t
was observed that he wore blue stock
ings. Such was the excellence of his
conversation that his absence was felt
as so great loss that 1t used to be
said: eve can do nothing without
the blue stockings and thus by de-
grees the title was established" Bos-
well concludes by saying that Doctor
Johnson was prevailed with to come
sometimes into these circles, and did
not think himself too grave even for
the lively Miss Moncton Ia prominent
member of the society,""
