OLD FASHINED BARN DANCE
IN DISGRACE
Modern Version Is an Orgy of Drink

Children of y reeled about the

sheriff said. Girls were carried from

There were more inflated hip-pockets

and accepting berths with Ironwood.

SIX MILLION TONS OF COAL
AT HEAD OF LAKES
Receipts at Docks This Year Six
Times Greater Than Those
of Last Year

More than six million tons of coal,
hard and soft, as compared with but
little over one million tons in 1922,
have been unloaded at Head of
Lakes docks so far this year
Up to and including July 81 ship
ments of hard and soft coal to docks
at the Twin Ports totaled 6,048, 593
short tons according to an official
report made public by E. Fl. Marks,
district engineer for the IT, S. gov
eminent. The report includes ship
.ments for the months of May, June
! and July Of the current year, also
Shipments of coal during the same
period last year totalled but 397 ,210
tons, making an increase of $751;
1888, or more than 10 times the total
shipments for the three months a year
ago.
Hard coal receipts at the Twin
Ports during July eclipsed all pre-
vious figures for the present season.
There was a total of 1929 tons of
anthracite coal delivered to docks of
Superior and Duluth during the
month. Figures for months preceding
were 205,716 tons for May and 1885,
COS tons for June. The total receipts
for the three months are 723,645
tons.
In 1922, the report shows, there
were but 1852 tons of hard coal
delivered at Superior and Duluth =
only about 5000 tons monthly, com
pared with shipments averaging more
than 100000 tons a month during
1923.
Increases in tonnage Of soft coal
received here and at Duluth during
the three months is 4,651 1888 tons,
compared with shipments of 1922
according to the report. Receipts of
soft coal during July fell slightly un-
der those of June of this year, the re-
port shows, with totals Of 1,835,274
tons and 1868, 046 tons for July and
June respectively.
The grand total of coal receipts
for July 1923 bests all records thus

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
Waste in Trivial Items Costs Rail.
roads $3.50, 100000
By S. w. STRAUS
President of American Society for Thrift

roads $3.50, 100000
The large wastes are readily dis
covered, but it is the small ones that
in the aggregate amount to much
more than few large ones and
cause the most concern"
Thus an executive of an important
American railway system recently e.
pitomized the urgent need of thrift
practice among railroad employees.
He estimated that the waste in little
things on the railroad with which he
was connected amounted to $1,000
/ 600 annually. This did not include
any outstanding instances of ineflic-
iency.
For example here is one sentence
that illustrated his point: I'VE have
millions of electric lights in service
all over the system using thousands
of watt-hours of current. How of
ten do we see lights burning unneces-
sarily while the waste goes on?"
Some of the annual items of need
less waste pointed out by him were
as follows: coal, $1,000,000; sup
plies, 100000; stationery, $4,000;
crossties, 100000; locomotive re-
pairs, 100000.
Analysis of his statement reveals
that about per cent of his company's
operating expenses last year repre-
sented waste due to lack of thrift by
employees. lnasmuch as the system
with which he is Connected represents
about per cent of the gross rail
way mileage Of the United States, and
as conditions on the road referred to
were probably a fair average of con-
ditions on all lines, it is safe to set
down the sum of $230,000,000 a year
as the direct result of lack of thrift
by employees,
One of the great economic prob
lens of the present day pertains to
transportation. In these matters of
unnecessary expense, the cure can on
" come through the education of the
employees. No other efficiency sys-
tenn can safeguard against these
wastes.
The business men of America
should learn that a very small per-
centage of the amount of money
wasted by thriftless employees would,
if spent in correct thrift education,
bring amazingly beneficial results.

In an effort to solve the eYer-recur-
ring fuel problem, two Tacoma in
ventors have turned their attention to
perfecting a wooden coal which Is
proving quite practical and is gener-
ally used throughout the state Of
Washington. says the Cleveland Plain
dealer. Waste products Of the lumber
mills form the basis for the brlquets
which the pair have evolved. Bark,
sawdust and mill refuse, listed as an
economic waste In the past, are being
utilized. Tests prove that the briquets
possess Z per cent carbon, 2 per cent
volatile and 1 per cent ash. In addi-
ton, they are smokeless Rated by the
British thermal unit test, the briquets
as manufactured by the two rank with
the best anthracite coal. Plants for
the production Of the bricks are now
being planned In the various districts.
and a scheme is being worked out to
reduce the cost Of manufacture. At
the present time, the actual cost Of
preparing the waste is 80 ton. 1t is
believed that by installing larger and
heavier machinery and speeding up
the production, this cost can be re
duced materially.
