 It should be a steamer rug--pref- erably a nice Scotch plaid.
 When you have your rug, you make 1t into a straight. unbelted coat, fastening on one side. It isn't lined. Its edges are bound with heavy silk braid.
 Failing rug. you can make eamel's hair or some fieecy English fabric do for your heayy top coat.
 Few short models are shown in these styles. The coats usually come well below the dress hem,

 The day was terribly hot. The burning sunshine beat down upon the General as he waddled across the meadow and made him wish that Farmer Green would plant shade trees along the patch.
 Suddenly a happy thought popped into his head. He put on the sun bonnet and tied the strings under his chin.

Railroads Are
 Blamed for Coal
 Shortage-Copeland

New York, Feb. o.-The present coal difficulty is because coal carrying railroads have not made peace with their striking shopmen, said Dr. Royal $. Copeland, United States senator elect and health commissioner of New York, in speech before bankers in this city.
 Before I said a word about this matter 1 sent out my trusty health inspectors They went to the outly- ing coal regions and they came back and said that the present coal short age was due to the cars standing on the tracks, broken down and idle.
 Then I went to the president of the United States and the answer came back that the president had known for long time that the cause of the present coal shortage was that the carriers had not kept their obllga- tions. Then 1 wrote to the interstate commerce commission.
 "It's good to be a United States senator-e1ect at the same time you are health commissioner; you get little more attention paid to your requests. They sent a man to my office who told me that the coal shortage was due to the fact that the locomotives had broken down on the coal-carrying railroads and that the coal was not being carried"

UNION SMASHER
 'WORTH A MELLOW

The Cosmopolitan News Service, a Hearst organization, has staff writer whose name is Ward Greene. MT. Greene writes more or less gossipy Hub dub from New York.
 In the course of one of his disser- tations there appeared the following:
 'I met Capt John T, Vickery in front of the Bush building today. I knew him when he was $75-a-month patrolman in a Georgia city. Now he Is president of the Vickery Indus trial Service, Inc, and worth ia mill lion.
 "This ex-poIiceman came to New York with nothing but an idea. He gave big business the 'strike-stopper.' . "You know the rike-breaker'-- he's back number. The 'strike-stop4 per- who succeeded him, goes into factories ostensibly as a workman. In reality, he is a watchman, an investi- gator, leavener of discomfort, the key with which capital locks the door before the horse Is stolen.
 eff you wonder sometimes why the red flag of riot no longer waves in some of the big industrial plants of the nation, ask Capt John Vickery, the 'ex-cop,' who employs thousands of 'strike-stoppers' today and rides in limousines and his own yacht"
 Of course, 1t IS not 'the red flag of riot" that Vickery and his "opera- tives" seek to keep down and prob ably Mr. Greene knows this What Vickery and his tribe are after Is in exchange for so many pieces of silver, or any sort of currency of the realm, to prevent the formation of trade unions or to destroy them where they exist For this kind of service" to Big Business Vickery, according to Ward Greene, Is worth million

On January 3I Justice Bailey, of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, ruled that coal operators cannot be compelled to furnish in formation to the Federal Trade Com mission as to the cost of mining coal.
 The next step will be an appeal by the Federal Trade Commission to the United States Supreme Court through the court of appeals. The latter court will be asked to waive , hearings so that the question may be decided by the Supreme Court at the same time as it renders it's de cision in the Claire Furnace Company case This is the case involving the same question in the steel industry. Justice Bailey bases his refusal to permit gathering of industrial infor- nation on the theory that Congress has, no power to regulate the price and production of coal" In view of the fact that this has never. been the contention of the Federal Trade Com mission, there Is considerable amuse- ment and some cynicism in Washing ton in comments upon Justice Bailey decision, especially since he decided that arguments of the commission will not be included in the record.
 The controversy about production costs began shortly after the close of the war when the appropriations com mittee of the House of Representa- tives asked what the Federal Trade Commission could do to reduce the high cost of living The Commission suggested that the publication of the costs of basic commodities, mention ing in particular steel and coal, sold in interstate commerce, the prices realized for these commodities in such commerce, and the profits of the busi- ness, would doubtless tend, if the profits proved to be large, to reduce prices.
 As a result Congress appropriated $500 for the work.
 When the Federal Trade Commis- sion attempted to gather this 1nfor- nation the National Coal Association began a frantic effort to keep this in- formation from the public. Some coal companies refused to answer ques- tionnaires and the aid of the injunc- tion process was sought through the courts. The Maynard Coal Company filed a petition in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia asking for restraining order and 1t IS the decision in this case that has just been
 rendered.
 The coal case is identical in prac- ,tically all aspects to that of the steel case. The steel companies refused to
 give information and the gathering of information in both the steel and the coal industries was stopped as the
 result of this legal action.
 Both the public and the workers in
 the iron, steel and coal industries will
 continue to suffer from the prohteer- ing of the wage cutting operators within the industry as long as the facts of the costs of production and operation are concealed through in genious legal and financial machinery The question is whether the country shall remain in ignorance or whether 1t shall be enlightened and the Su-
 preme Court will in the near future

ENFORCED IDLENESS
 CIVILIZATIONS BLOT

Manchester, England, Feb. o.-On January r. there were I,485 800 per sons on the live registers of the em- ployment exchanges in Great Britain.
 The appalling number of workers involuntarily unemployed in Great Britain during the last two years will some time be regarded with the same feeling of horror that people now read of the abominations connected with the early growth of the factory sys- tenn, declares the Manchester Guar dian, one of Britain's most influential newspapers. 2
 Future generations will find it hard to believe that society should have allowed about one in twenty of the whole population to be driven by poverty and lack of work to live on public charity.
 "Unemployment is one of the great est blots on our civilization, and cer- tainly the gravest defect in. the ma chinery of industry.
 "It is not possible to say that we can not afford to find remedy for unemployment, for unemployment IS itself, by far the, greatest cause ot waste and diminished national wealth.
 That the unemployed should lack boots while the bootmakers are out ot work is clearly fault of organiza- ton and not of nature.
 "It is hardly conceivable that any system which provided steady work for all who are able to work would not produce greater wealth than the system of today, which for long per iods of time runs at half pressure.
 "It is almost strictly true to say that at present we do nothing to pre- vent unemployment The insurance acts are wholly palliative; They have lessened the hardships of unemploy- ment but they do not make it's recur- renee less likely"

Supreme Court to Decide Next
 Whether F acts Belong to Public
BANKERS RAKE OFF
 NEVER. OVERLOOKED

Philadelphia, Feb. o.-In speech in this city United States Senator Couzens of Michigan said he had an 'open mind" on the question, but at this time it appeared to him that gov ernment ownership of railroads fur nished the only solution.
 The speaker said this did not mean government operation, and that I've might be able to get along without undue interference of politicians.
 'I would like to point out, how ever, that there are many worse in references than the interferences of politicians" said Senator Couzens. ''There is the interference of the bankers, who must get their rake off regardless of public service or the treatment of the men who operate the railroads.
 ''Let me say to you that the gov ernment can waste considerable money through inef6ciency and poli- tics, and yet produce service to the public in many activities at a less cost than really can be done by private in dustries that are not in the hmelight, and that have so many ways ot cov- ering up their cost through high sala- ries, extra compensation to directors, the purchasing of supplies from ln- dustries in which directors are inter ested, and from the rake offs paid to the bankers who finance them.
 President Harding says 1t was government operation that brought us to the very order of things which we now rebel ,and we are still iqui- dating the cost of that supreme folly, but I note the absence of proof to sustain that conclusion.
 Tt is not my intention to comment on the governments handling of the railroads during and after the war, but simply to say that 1t would make interesting reading to show conn parison of what the railroads did dur ing the war and what private industry did to the government"

 In the meantime, what chance has the coal commission to get any facts about the coal industry? There is nothing left for them to do but draw their salaries.
