COAL SITUATION.

The coal strike, starting April I,
broke up in the middle of August.
About $4,000 union miners were out.
Meantime, $4,000 non-union miners
worked. Despite the strike, the nation
mined 40 million tons of soft coal
during 1922, compared with 416 million
tons the year before and Ats million
tons in. 1913. The years production of
hard coal was only SO million tons,
against 81 million in 1921 and over
81 million in 1918. AS 1928 starts, coal
is high priced, somewhat scarce, and
another strike is looming.

IF YOU ARE WELL BRED.

In the selection Of stationery, as in
everything else relating to social usage,
what is fantastic or over-conspicuous
is poor form.
For instance, such combination as
white ink on deep purple paper, while
it would attract attention by its eccen-
tricity, would give also an impression
OF bad taste on the writer's part.
The complete text of formal note
should appear on the first page only.

The Referee
TRADE REyIEW OF 1922.

Families of American wage eaTners
start 1928 with their cost Of living
practically the same as it was a year
ago. 1t now costs $1.62 to buy what
cost 81 when the war started in 1914,
This is the national average, with the
figure higher in some towns, lower in
others. Cost of living dropped trife,
early in 1922, but this was wiped out
by price rises late in the year.
Averaging the wholesale prices of
400 leading commodities, what cost 81
in 1918 now costs $1.54, against $1.36
a year ago.

People say the great industrial con-
Germs have money abroad. This has
been greatly exaggerated.
"True, big undertakings have to have
dollar credits. Since the Versailles
treaty, with its amputation of territory
from US, Germany does not produce
many raw materials. She has to buy
not only copper, lead, wool, cotton and
fax, as before the war, but iron, zinc,
coal and a great deal more of her food.
"This excess of imports over exports
doesn't betoken prosperity. A nation,
like an individual, which buys more
than it sells, is getting deeper into
debt or consuming it's capital.
"Much industry you see in Germany
is supplying German needs. They are
paid for in paper marks. but the raw
material is bought in foreign curren-
cies.

LESS SALES ABROAD

Exports during 1922 totaled around
1850 million dollars, compared with
44s5 million in 1921 and 2484 million in
1913. The drop during 1922 was chief
~ due to lower prices. Physical vol
ume or tonnage of exports sagged very
little. Europe took half Of our 1922
exports, measured in dollars.
Imports during 1922 totaled nearly
2910 million dollars, against 2509 mil
lion the year before and 1892 million
in 1918.

MUCH FREIGHT.

American railroads during 1922 load
ed and moved about A million cars Of
revenue producing freight, compared
with about 80 million cars in 1921. A
year ago the roads had nearly $4,000
idle freight cars. Now there's a short
age of 100000 cars and 100000 are laid
up for repairs.

Says

You could swear off shooting ele-
plants and, without an uncommon
streak of bad luck, you shot no ele-
plants.
You could swear off smoking, which
you had to do if you got any cigars for
Christmas.
You could swear off cussing traffic
cops and not break it more th..n once,
or perhaps just half that often.
Finding simple things to swear not
to do has been as easy as convincing
girl she is the exact image of a movie
star.
But finding simple things to swear
to do has been as hard as convincing
a bow-legged girl she is knock-kneed.
Realizing the terrible shortage of
simple things to swear to do we are
giving away list free.
This list is so easy a college grad
uate can grasp it.
We even venture so far as to say
your boss could understand several Of
the minor suggestions.
1t is the only list Of 1928 swears
that will stay sworn, we think.
-------
Swear that you will go hungry if
you have nothing to eat for while.
That you will let it get dark every
night just after dusk.
That you will pay the coal dealer
what he asks you to pay.
That you will get wet if you stand
in the rain long enough.
That you will let Congress forget
why it was elected.
That, no matter how mad, you will
refuse to whip Jack Dempsey.
That you will let the sun continue
to rise just about sunup.
That(unless you are too rich) you
will pay your taxes.
You could swear not to make mil
lion and live up to it in spite of all
inclinations to the contrary.

woMEN's NEW OPPORTUNITIES

Women are now enfranchised and enjoy almost equal educational op- portunities with men. They may enter practically all professions and trades, and 21.01 per cent of them are gainfuily employed. The passage by almost every state of married women's property and equal guard ianship acts has freed wives and mothers from the medievalism of the common law. Millions of home making women are organized for cultural, philanthropic and civic ends which modern domestic con- veniences and labor saving devices give them leisure to pursue. City homes are smaller and social life is consequently spent more in public. Prosperity and machinery have given us on the one hand the largest leisured class of women. the world has known: while on the other hand modern industrialism (replacing the o.d home industries by quantity pro- duction in factories), plus the in creased cost of livings drives an ever larger proportion of women into extra domestic remunerative work Beatrice Forbes-R Robertson Hale, in Current History Magazine.

CHAPTER 1sO

CHAPTER 1sO A gambler! Dillon was a gambler. Yet Paine had suggested bringing him to call on her!
 This was the thought that rushed to Winifred Scott's mind and brought the blood in hot flood to her cheeks.
 "Yol. mean-you mean"-she stam- mered-"that you have friend who is gambler, and you have said that you would like to bring him to call on rie?"
 She was very young She knew nothing of the world. Her father had been careful that she should know nothing of 1t. The word gam bier" caused mental vision of a crowded room, vile-faced men bend ing ever gaming tables, pale-faced youths, tempted to risk their all in this den of iniquity, who would later go out and shoot themselves rather than face disgrace.
 Had she not read of this kind of thing? Did she not know of a place called Monte Carlo where fortunes were lost i'll a day? And it was al w@ys, she supposed, a wicked rich man whC' got all the money away from some weak poor man.
 Paine actually smiled at her in dignation, but he spoke very gently
 Please" he demurred, "do not get so excited! Had I had any idea that you would consider poor old Tom Dillon as beyond the pale I would certainly not have suggested his calling Cn you. Pardon me if I ask why you should feel as you do about him? He is Q man who makes lots of money and loses lots by gambling But why should he not? The money is his own. He has nobody depen dATH tH Htr1H l kin has. And you receive Rankin and are seen in public with him.
 "But-but" she stammered, still net understanding, "he-Mr. Rankin, 1 mean-is different"
 "He surely isl" Paine's smile was sardonic. Since you condemn my friend, you will perhaps pardon me if l speak plainly about an acquain- tance of yours. Rankin and Dillon profession?' But they are. as you intimate, different Dillon plays on the square, or as nearly on the square as is possible in that kind of game. But, frankly. Rankin will bear watching"
 You mean-you mean" She tried to ask question, but could not.
 T mean that there is honor even among thieves, although I am not ad- mittnig that Dillon's crowd are thieves. But I have heard ugly stories about Rankin, stories that would lead one to suspect that even that kind of hCnor is lacking in him. Mind, say l have heard them. l do. not vouch for their truth. I will give him credit for having pulled off some pretty big things, too. I, myself, saw him clean up some hundreds in a very short time one night. I told TNsl hot Ia h NiflH want to meet Rankin.'
