 The present unprecedented prosper tty in the anthracite industry will play little part in shaping the tone of the report. For present conditions are on no permanent footing. By the time the commissions report is is- sued. indeed, meeting of miner dele gates will have convened at Scranton, Pa, to consider demands" to be made when the present agreement with the operators expires this Sep tember. The prospect is not for en- tire harmony
 Meanwhile, however, the position of the public is considerably improved over one year ago. For anthracite production today is outstripping all previous records. with a 100000, ,0o0- ton year in sight if production is maintained at the average for the first five months of the year.
 To June 9. 45,192.0o0 tons had been mined this year, with the weekly output hanging close to 2,000,000 tons. The greatest output of any previous year was in 1917, when under the stress of war necessity total of 99,- 611,S11 tons was produced.

II is not so nearly true as 1t was
years ago that men earn money and
women spend it. but it is still con
siderably true. Men still have control
of the chief agencies for wage-earning
and earn most of the wages paid.
Women have the spending of most of
the money that is earned and brought
home for the support of families. The
chief end of man is still what the
Westminster catechism says 1t Is. but
his next most important end Is to sat
Isfy women. Women are more con-

ems wishes should be dominant In

no department of life In which women
can afford to ignore the wishes of men,

And so 1t Is that In public as well as
In private dealings between men and

the gray gloom she had to feel around

outside. she replied, with chattering
teeth, "Th-thank y-you. b-but d-don't
