PLENTY OF COAL, LIONS
CLUB TOLD AT SESSION

An abundant supply of coal in this
territory by the end of this year was
predicted by Williap Greer, of
Plainfield, former state fuel commits
sioner under Governor Edwards re-
gime, at the luncheon of the Lions
Club held at the Packer House at
noon today. The speaker confined
his talk to the history of coal, trans
portation and distribution. He sad
that this part of the country is con-
suming more than 100000 ton7 of
anthracite, of which New Jersey
takes some 100000 tons.
Mr.. Greer told the guests tnat the
coal conditions here are about the
same as last year but relief could 40
expected before January, when there
will be sufficient fuel for all who use
it. At the present time, the speaker
said, the coal is shipped mostly in
the direction of the Great Lakes
where open weather prevails and
much waterway shipping to tn West
is being done. When the cold wealth
er arrives and navigation of the
lakes is closed coal operators are
diyerting their products East where
a ready market is available.
Mr. Greer, however, intimated
that if the coal situation does not
improve as anticipated he would
advise the use of bituminous fuel,
which he believed is as good as the
other. In response to a remark
made by a local coal dealer that
he was unable to obtain coal Mr..
Greer explained that the Lehigh
Coal and Navigation Company,
which usually ships coal east has
recently purchased their own rail-
road and are shipping coal toward
points where the railroad runs, so
that beside making a profit on the
coal, they find a revenue from the
shipping cost.
"Gil' Peakes, who acted as chair
man at the luncheon today, announc-
ed that next Thursday the meeting
will be known as a father and son
gathering. He also announced that
a representative from a Chicago
taxi corporation will be the speaker
next Thursday and speak on the
taxi business for Perth Amboy.

EASIEST WAY

Takes a camping trip in the ''tall and uncut to make city
people appreciate the comforts and conveniences they have
at home. Maybe you've had an experience like Rodger
Dolan's:
Dolan thought the farms were getting too civilized for .
real outing from metropolitansm, so he vacationed in the
Canadian woods.
'I never appreciated how easily we cook with gas and
heat with coal at home, until l had to chop the frewood up
north" Dolan writes. 't'To get enough wood for our cook
stove and for the big fireplace in our log cabin at night, had
to saw and split about an hour a day. My time is surely worth
81 an hour, so it cost me $50 a month for fuel-in the sum.
meri It'd be several times that, in winter.
"Another thing: At home, when we want water, We mere
ly turn a faucet. Up north, l had to carry drinking water half
a mile from a spring. And our water for cooking and wash
ing had to be carried in buckets up a steep hill from the lake.
'sTo get our mail, We rowed three miles each way, a
round trip consuming a couple OF hours.
"Nearly everything else ON the vacation required a SINH
lar expenditure of time and effort. Luckily, we were able to
get ice from a settlers ice house. Maybe you've dug through
six feet of sawdust to get ice, carried it to a lake to wash it,
then a few hundred yards to the homemade refrigerator
The city man, used to conveniences and comforts, RAISES
the roof if the mail is late, the ice man delayed, or the
fuel bill high: The city man forgets that there are plenty Of
people whose daily life includes the Inconvenience and toll
of Dolans vacation
Only a few generations ago, nearly every one had these
inconvenience. The way has been made easier, more conveh-
lent, for the purpose of giving us leisure time. We have it.
How do we use it, this leisure time bequeathed to us by a long
line of toiing inventors?

YOUR HEALTH
BY DIR. CLIFFORD c. ROBINSON
r. AND scALDs

Nothing gives more real pain to
the square inch than a severe burn
from any source or a scald from hols
water, steam or any boiling liquid.
In severe cases of burns the
physician should be called at once.
The pain may not be as great, but
the nerves are sometimes burned
out or destroyed and treatment must
be immediate to save life. The in
jury to the tissues is practically the
same in both burns and scalds. In
most cases the burning from hol
liquids is not as deep as from the
dry burn, although 1t may be Just
as painful.
In the surface or superficial
burns the skin is Redeemed, inianled
or blistered. In the more severe or
deeper burns the skin is a sort OF
pale yellowish-white and in some
extreme cases almost black.
In the first treatment of an ordi-
nary or rather severe burn the less
ening or neutralizing of the shock
is of the most Importance. Many
persons imagine that they have been
injured much more severely than is
usually the case.
A hot bath is good for this condi-
ton. A temperature of 100 degrees
Fahrenheit being about right. If
a bath is not possible or practical
hot blankets or hot water bottles
may afford the desired relief. Adj
minister some mild stimulant or
warm drink and try and induce
quietness and normal heart action.
Be careful that no clothing touch
es the burn. Cover the parts burned
with soft linen, using boric acid
ointment or soft bandages saturated
with boric acid lotion or picric acid.
Lastly wrap in paraffine paper or
raw cotton 10 exclude the air.
If the burn is a slight one and no
blisters have formed, dust with -four
or baking soda and wrap loosely to
exclude all air. If blisters have
formed pierce at the edge with a
sterilized needle, holding it a mo-
ment in a flame Tor the purpose.

enough to produce a singing pain.
And If you should strike a small
explosive cap with the end of a long

explosion would probably bring the

1T is generally believed that
earthquake waves flow from a point
where one of the three forces illus
trated is suddenly released-a break,
a blow or an explosion. Breaks are
credited with the responsibility for
most earthquakes. 1t is believed
h a because Of slow contraction or
shrinking which may result from
cooling of the other portion of the
earth or because of pressure from de
posted silt sarains are set up below
the surface like those in the bending
stick. Eventually the strain
reaches the breaking point and there
is a swapping of the rocks which
sends violent waves to the surface,
causing earthquakes.
"The blow type OF earthquake is
probably less important, Such a
blow might result from the falling
i'll of a great cavern bet probably
would cause ony a loca, shiver. A

Earthquakes in active volcanic
regions nay often result from explo-
sions of gases far beneath the sur
face; but it is quite possible that
even in the neighborhood of volca-
noes the majority of the quakes may
arise from sudden breaks in the
rocks.
"1hnt t.lc earth's crust is sub
jected to squeezing and p%inching is
evident from mountain ranges,
which are the portion CT the crust
that is 'pinched up as one can pinch
up a ridge of skin on his arm. If
mountains wera ever thrust up at all
rapidly the Earthquakes at the time
must have been terrible. Even now
there are certain. mountains that
though millions of years old, are
still geologically young and are
slowly rising. The mountains of
! Japan fell into this class and it is
their growing pains so to speak,
: that cause the almost daily earth
| quakes in the Japanese archipelago,
Now and then the strains accumu-
late over a considerable period and
the break or slide and collision
which finally occurs is violent
enough to shake down hills open
wide cracks and destroy cities"
