THE PRESIDENTS APPEAL TO

AS might be expected the President
cracks no whip over the shoulders Of
the legislative branch of the Govern
ment but he does turn the spotlight
of common sense and cold logic di-
rectly on those important Congress
British loan and the disposition of the
shipping relief bill. He calls TO the
attention Of the country that there
can be no excuse for refusing to
bring these matters to vote, for reg
isterinG an opinion concerning them.
Reading his words the voters will
know that if the threat to talk the
shipping bill to death is carried out
it will be Contemplate treachery and
cowardly manoeuvering.
He says: There is time, abundant
time, for decisive action on both
these tremendously important ques-
tons. ! have brought up the ship

Of that statement is undeniable, yet
we presume it made no impression

become plain to voters throughout
the country, Middle West as well as
East. West North or South that such
impotence" is costing the country
many more millions than a ship sub

worse condition than in the Begin

Nor do we see how it will be pos
sible for reading and thinking voters
considering what President Harding
had to say about the British loan to

Underground Coal
Storage Not
Feasible In Ill.

Springfield, ILL.,. Feb. S.-(By A. P.)
Storage of reserve supplies of coal
underground, as suggested recently
by H. Foster Balm, director of the
United States Bureau of Mines,
would be impossible in the soft coal
fields Of Illinois. according to Robert
Medill. state director of Mines and
Minerals.
Liability of combustion resulting in
disastrous fires, would make this
proposed means of insuring stability
in the coal industry impractical. MI
Medill said.
ITO attempt this in Illinois Mines
however. would simply mean to start
so many mine fires" said Mr.. Medill
Combustion fires from mine refuse
are now one of the problems of mining
in this state. This danger would be
only increased by attempting any
large storage underground. The only
place soft coal can be safely stored
is above ground, and then of course
it is subject to shrinkage.'
Seasonable demands for coal could
be stabilized by the storage plan,
Director Balm of the Bureau of Mines
suggested in report to the United
States Coal commission. His plan
was to keep the miners at work, but
to hoist coal only as requirements de-
manded.
