''White Tickets" for Capital Beggars

national capital Of the horde of pro-
fessional down-and-outers infesting
the city.
Results were almost immediate.
From an average Of 30 applications
for help at the missions office the
daily average leaped to $50. And
practically all Of them introduced
themselves with white tickets. How
many Of these same little strips Of
cardboard, given to professionals,
have been consigned to the gutter the
mission is, of course, unable to say.
Two hundred thousand more of the
tickets have been issued and the mis-
sion has given notice through the
medium of the local newspapers that
anyone wanting a handful of the tick
cts can secure them at the mission
Office.
There Is no charge for the tickets.
Anyone can secure them on request.
And the mission IS making every at
tempt to provide every man or woman
in the city likely to be approached
by a beggar with a strip or two of
the tickets. They are placed IN G
conspicuous place on newstands In
hotels for strangers In Washington.

MOON is NOT DEAD WORLD
Prove Astronomers Have Long
Held Wrong Idea.

Astronomers cling to the old idea
that the moon Is dead world, desti-
tute alike Of air and water. But recent
observations of w. II. Pickering, made
at Vaudeville, Jamaica, go to show that
many changes occur with the alterna-
ton Of lunar day and night. Great
snow fields form in the mountain val
legs, and then melt away; fog banks
are seen and, very rarely, drifting
clouds. The Hottest peaks are snow
capped. The moons surface is pitted
with volcanic craters; some Of these
measure 100 miles across. Each crater
is surrounded by mountain ring 1000
to 10000 feet in height
According to Pickering. there are
few, if any, such large and continuous
ly active volcanic regions upon the
surface Of the earth. But the activity
Of the lunar volcanoes is now confined
to the quiet emission of steam jets,
like those found in Yellowstone Ma
tiOnal park. Certain variable dark
areas on the moon may be due to vege-
tatiOn.

since the signing Of the armistice, Is
to go to sea, probably as commander
ln-chief Of the United States fleet,
succeeding Admiral H. P. Jones, who
will complete his sea duty in June or
July, so say the insiders"
The successor to Admiral Coontz as
chief of operations, the highest office
In the naval establishment, has not
been definitely selected, but Is likely
to be Admiral e. w. EberIe, command
er-in-chief Of the battle fleet, so they
say.
It Is regarded foregone conclusion
that Admiral Coontz will be given the
highest command at sea, that of the
United States fleet, comprising prac-
tcally all the navy except the units
overseas.
Rear Admiral Thomas Washington
Will complete his four-year term as
chief Of the bureau Of navigation Au-
gust 8, next. He has been ill., and it
Is possible that he will go on sick
leave in June or July. 1t is generally
expected that Capt. Richard H. Leigh,
the assistant chief Of the bureau, will
succeed Admiral Washington. If pro-
noted, he will be given the grade of
rear admiral.

dictmentS charging use of the mails
to defraud were returned by the fed
eral grand jury, which has had the

investors in the merged companies, or
a total Of 2,064,450 persons.
Approximately 100000 persons

~ REATER economy in the I'M
~ derground production of coal
~ is one of the essential needs
of the industry to reduce the
cost to the consumer, in the opinion
Of Chairman John Hays Hammond
and members Of the United States coal
commission. This conclusion was
reached as the result of personal in
vestigation of mine conditions made
by members Of the commission, par
ticularly In the bituminous district of
Alabama. The mines need.
A greater substitution of machine
for hand labor in the cutting Of coal
to enable the individual miner to get
out more coal in working day
More adequate underground trans
portation to facilitate movement Of
the coal from the miner to the tipple.
Employment Of experienced mining
and mechanical engineers to systema-
tie underground production and in
crease efficiency.
Generally, however, the commission
found a high class of development in

panies, it was found, provide excel
lent housing, cheap supplies for their
workers and favorable working con-
