Gone into history with the same

a few years, was evidently too tame

trade to sell death and destruction
as of old. AS an example, the 10-year

How long will this disgraeeful, non

Men are Four" says an ancient Arabic proverb. "He who knows, and knows he knows-he is wise, follow him. He who knows, and knows not he knows,-he is asleep, wake him. He who knows not, and knows not he knows not,-he is fool, shun him. He who knows not, and knows he knows not-he is child, teach him.

COAL LEASES FORCING UP
 PRODUCTION

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-COntinua- tion of the present policy of requir- ing the mining of minimum amount of coal at each operation on leased states-taken into account with the
 production of mines now operating on private lands-promises to result in a total annual coal mine capacity in that region of S0,000,000 tons within two years, declares Director H. Eos ter Bain of the United States Bureau of Mines in T memorandum submit ted to the United States Coal Con- mission. As the maximum wartime market for coal from these states was 40,600,000 tons per year, the large production indicated seems certain to bring about the same unhealthy con- dition, the same loss of capital, and the same distress among miners in the Western coal mining industry that was so marked a feature of 1921 in the coal industry of the East and Middle West.
 "The general leasing law of Feb ruary 25, 1920, is mandatory so far as requiring the Secretary of the to divide the land into leasing blocks is concerned, but it apparently per mts his discretion as to when and by what general method leases shall be granted" states Director Bain.
 "In practice, coal leases thus far have been given to any qualified ap- plicant who took the necessary steps and gave the required guaranties, and that, doubtless, is what public opin- ion has expected. The department can not, however without violation of the plain intent of the law, grant leases without setting up require ments as to minimum production per annum. It was clearly not the intent of Congress that leases should be granted to tie up land for long per iods for speculative purposes. So each lease granted must require the mining of a minimum amount of coal per year and the giving of effective bond for performance. The results that flow from this seem to have been overlooked by the lessees and others. If the department should re- fuse to grant any more coal leases in the region indicated until demand was within some reasonable percent age of proposed output, there would doubtless be severe criticism. The public must soon in it's own interest take more thought as to such con- ditions and be prepared to sustain remedial legislation. There is need and room here for real conservation v
 The states affected by the coal leasing program are California, Colo rado. Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington and Wy oming. Coal is also being produced to a limited extent in Alaska, but under the provisions of separate leg islation.

Government statistics and reports
 LONDON, Jan. 2-English women are failures at business, at least that is what statistics would seem to show.
 An increase in the number of wom. en who have failed in business is shown by the bankruptcy statistics which have just been published for the year 1921. In 1921 there were three women who failed for every woman who failed in 1920 Out of 3,472 receiving orders issued, 325 were against women traders, of whom 52 were in the drapery and haberdash- cry trade and 47 in millinery and dressmaking.
 Marriage and thought of marriage are the cause, according to Miss Elspeth Phelps, Court dressmaker
 "So many women fail to learn their business properly" Miss Phelps says. ''They do not train themselves ade- quately; they will not put their hearts into the work they shirk the drug cry that a man accepts.
 "The reason for this is a fundamen- tai one: They are all thinking more about marriage than about business. They may be in business to earn their living, but too often they regard their activities merely as a stepping stone ; they have not made up their minds to stick to business"
 London newspapers are written with a fine air of delicacy. Listen to this paragraph written in one of the many gossip columns:
 "At the end of the year the ar. engagements of her Majesty are sub, ject to alteration in order to permit the Queen to make short visit tC Princess Mary at Goldsborough Hall or in the event of that place not being ready at Harewood, Yorkshire for about that time an event is ex pected in the Royal family which will be of great personal interest tC their Majesties and also to the na tion generally"
 The Prince of Wales is in line fol promotion Within short time it is expected that the Prince will be made both a Rear-Admiral in the Navy anC Major-General in the Army. It is probable that the Prince will hoist his RearAdmiral flag some time next spring and will make short cruise in command of one of the squadrons of the Atlantic Fleet.
 The new House of Commons more | nearly fulfills the name of Commons Parliament is full of common men men who are not mere statesmen, mer who do not hold their position by reason of royal title, but men who have won their way into Parlamen as the representatives of the common people. In the present House there is a coal weigher, railway locomo | D h1r Der and newsagent There are more trade union officials in the House than any other class. The House has in it's membership S3 trade unior officials, 80 lawyers, 28 Army officers 8 Navy officers, 22 directors of com panies, 19 journalists and authors F ship owners, ii manufacturers, 1( engineers, g land owners, 9 farmers 8 schoolmasters and brewers ant distillers.
