Ward Not Keen About Purchase
 Of German Marks

Former Mayor George B. Ward has had an inquiry from an Ala bama investor asking his advice about buying some German marks. The quondam live wire at the city hall again takes his ren in hand, and here is the ad- vice he gave the inquirer:
 Dear Sir: We have your let ter stating that you wish to in- vest a few dollars In German marks and asking what would be the cost and commission.
 Tn reply will say that about a dollars worth, which would be about 10000 marks, would be about all that you will need and ultimately worth as much as twice as many bought now.
 ''The freight on the shipment from Germany would be more than the marks would cost and 1t Is doubtful whether or not you would want them when they arrive.
 Tt would be cheaper and probably just as satisfactory if you would order a lot of blank paper and make some marks on it and in that way have designs and denominations according to your wishes and needs.
 This latter plan would save freight and would not involve you in false expectations and hopes as to the future enhance ment in value. Neither would it aid our alien enemy-the Ger man government-to the extent of dollar.
 We recommend that you think it over before ordering German marks

LECTURES ON KOREA
Editor Tells How Christianity Is
 Snreading In His Native Lnnd


 "Americans are the most unselffsh neople in the world" declared N. Y. Park. Korean editor, lecturer and humorist, in an instructive ana en- entertaining lecture to splehdid au dience at the First Methodist church Wednesday night.
 MT. Park discussed the effect the Christian spiritual revival was producing in the Far East, it's rapid spread and influence upon oriental customs and politics.
 Christianity develops an interna- tional mind," said Park. He stated it was bringing eastern and western neople to understand each other, and was causing d renaissance in Japan. China, Korea and other far eastern countries. Missionaries have spread the seeds of democracy, breaking down tyrants. and causing the esr tablishment of republlcah iorms oi government" he said.
 Many Koreans have fallen in love with the gospel of Christ and are trying to win salvation through His blood" Park said. in telling of the work of American missionaries. Out of eO,O0O,O00 people. 100000 are of Christian faith, and Christianity Is increasing by leaps and bounds. He pointed out that the Koreans have more self-supporting churches than any of the eastern countries, not he says, because they are the IicH- est financially, but because they have a richer, deeper faith in God.
 Speaking of Korean customs, he related that there is no social equal ity of men and women. but that man rules. However, woman is receiving more respect and consideration since the advent of Christianity. Mr. Park jokingly declared that Ameri- can husbands were the most hen pecked in the world. "As to the American handshake," said the lec- turer, II should be glad to introduce that in Korea when l return. but as to kisses I have not yet been able to figure them sanitary"
 MT. Park sang Korean song. featured with yodeling effects. Sing ing a stanza of Tn the Sweet By and Bly," in his native tongue, he asked the audience to join in the chorus in English.

COAL CAR FIGHT WON BY CORONA COMPANY Commission Issued Order AboIishing Assigned
 Cars

The Corona Coal company has won its case before the interstate com merce commission, in which it asked that the practice of preferential as- signment of cars to mines loading fuel for railroads be stopped. The commission has issued an order abol- ishing assigned cars for coal loading. This will put an end to the alleged discrimination.
 The case was instituted against the Southern railway by the Corona Coal company, A. W. Vogtle, traffic man ager of the Corona Coal company. has been informed of the ruling by J. B. Battle, traffic manager of the Ma tional Coal association.
 The order requires that the car rfers observe an absolutely equal pro- rata distribution of availabl coal cars among all mines, and this treat ment. which accords equal running time to all mines in times of car shortage, will, it is claimed, do much to stabilize the coal industry.
 The order of the commission reads
 O O O
 Commissions Ordcr: ... . .....
 The practice of respondents in as- signing private cars and system or foreign line cars for railway fuel to bituminous coal mines in excess of the ratable share contemporaneonsly distributed to bituminous mines upon their lines which do not receive as signed cars is found for the future to be unjust and unreasonable and un- duly and unreasonably prejudicial to mines not receiving assigned cars and unduly preferential of mines which are furnished such cars in excess of the ratable proportion.
 Cars specifically placed by order of the commission under the proVi- sions of Paragraph 15 of Section 1 of the act may properly be treated as assigned cars and need not be taken into account in determining the rata bie distribution when the order of placement so requires.
