 'Racruiting periods Of coal short Axs with wild wholesale speculation pslnt to tho need Of a public service viewpoint respecting the entire coal trade backed by iegislation providing for strict regulatory powers on inc part of tho federal government over inc entire production and distribution Interstate of ooal. The exercise of such regulation is especially needed In dmcs Of shorta8e and wildly fuctu- atlng prices.
 When real competition for inc purchasing tonnage exists, such com petition is probably the cheapest and most efficient regulator of wholesale margins. but in times of shortage 1t falls entirely. It may, therefore. be desirable to set up skeleton regula- i've machinery which shall be put m operation when and only when in | the judgment of the president an emergency exists" "
 Taking 1913 as a. base, the rommis- zion found that the average whole saler, who distributed coal without physically handling the shipments, made a profit Of 3.6 cents per ton handled. and made an annual return on. total capital invested in his busI- ness of 19 per cent. Tn 1920 the 33S wholesalers in the United States whose books the commission examin- ed, took a aprofit of 16 cents per ton, and made 66.2 per cent on the capital n vested in their business. The year is1O, however. was the banner year, in the business, the report said, add ing that the figures were smaller in other years.
 Much Handling Boosts Prices
 The chief addition to coal prices. the commission found, resulted from the handling about of coal shipments during shortages from one wholesale lo another. with two, three and soms- times four wholesale profits being Iaken en route. It's inquiry resulted l' the tracing out of large number of such operations, particularly in- 'olving anthracite shipped to New England during the winter of 1s22-23, liter the coal strike.

"In a consider Lble number of cases, wholesalers whose names were at first not re- ,orted, have been uncovered some- where between the mines and the re- ailer.

 Turning to the retailer, the commits ion remarked that criticism of prices here was frequent, sometimes well ounded, but often based on Hack of nowledge that causes are beyond ontrol of the retailer.' Better pub c understanding and local treatment f the problems were advocated.

BY HORTENsE SAUNDERS

New York, Oct. 31.-We hear much
these days about completes, inhibi-
tons, suppressed desires and other
things that smack of Freud and his
school, and we are warned that We
ought to get rid of them. But the
means of doing so are left up to us.
Elsie Dufour, however, suggests a
way.
Dance" she says. "Yhat is the
most natural form Of self-expression.
And rhythm is as necessary to life as
philosophy. Get your body free and
harmonious and your mind and your
soul will find their highest form of
expression"
Take that advice seriously, for it
comes from the leader of unique
school here. She teaches her pupils
to find themselves" first, then ex-
press their inner selves in rhythmic
dancing. BY learning TO play, they
also learn TO work more intelligently
and more joyfully.
Arc We Lazy?
"Too many Of us belong to the
armchair school," Miss Dufour re-
grets TO say. we yearn for rich,
full life, and for beauty. but we ex-
pect it to come TO us. When ii
doesn't, We rail at fate-but we con
tinue to sit"
Dancing isn't Miss Dufour's only
profession. Hers, truly, is school
for expression, so she resorts TO

OF all dod-gasted fools, John Pres
fott. you are the dodgastedest.
In the first place it seems TO tie
that anybody, with wife and baby
on his hands and a rattling good in
come and prospects of steady i'm
provement in it, who would start to
gamble in stocks has lost his mini.
In the second place, if by any pos
'sibility man should be such fool
as to- gamble in stocks he would not
be. SO silly as to trust Harry Filing
ton to be his broker. Why, don't you
know that man has just escaped the
law two or three times? He is due
for anoth<- smashup very soon.
I'm ashamed of you, Jack, and I'm
terribly angry with you. Perhaps
the present time for me to help you.
If you had written me four days SOON
er / might have given you the two

couple of lots which l think are

to give Lislie and the boy something
better than they had. Why hide be-
hind Leslie? Has she complained
] don't think she has. From what
know of her it seems to me she
has been a pretty good little soldier.
She has stood the gaff and carried
on much better than you, if anyone
should asl: me.
Whenever l see one of you chaps
make such a damn fool of himself
as you have been doing. I'm mighty
glad I've never married. would
not like to make any girl as unhappy
as ] am sure you are going to make
Leslie before you get through

MANY women, when they first
come to me have bodies absolutely
devoid of expression, like hand
that has been long in bandage,"
she continues. First 1 teach the n
to breathe, then to sing, then TO ar
ticulate through their fingers, toes,
and the tops of their hends.
Inner Change
when a woman has learned the
technique of her body and measured
out her own rhythms, established an
economy of movement, and learned
the joy of being instead of merely
admiring, her looks undergo a great
change. A new courage comes. She
desires to eliminate unnecessary de-
tails from her life so that she may
have time for the things that are
worth while. And she yearns to b.
original.
Isn't that all worth whilei"
Miss Dufour believes it is, and she
is making others believe IL. Her
pupils vary in age from 8 to 40.
Some are perfect physically, others
are poor, stopped, self-conscious chill
