NOT BIG EATERS
English Lords Generally Eat Cheap Mcals-Apple Tart With Cream is TayOritc Dish.

London, Jan. 9.-Luncheons and
 dinners at the house of lords are sur
 prisingly frugal. The setting where the legislative nobility of England congregate and the ceremony attend ing so many of their functions stimu- late the imagination of visitors, who expect to find the members of the
 house of lords lunching lavishly at midday and sitting down to elaborate and formal dinners at night
 On the contrary. The Lord Chancel- Tor recently gave a political dinner. a cheap affair, for when the total of the check was divided by the num-
 Der of guests. it worked out at the rate of six shillings each.
 Boiled beef, cold ham. apple tart
 and grilled chops are most frequent ly the orders given from the peers
 dining room to the kitchen. An or
 der often sent down the lift calls for Lord Tinlay with cream" denoting that the diner would like a portion of apple tart. favorite dish with
 Lord Finlay Many other Peers have their special likes. Lord Haldane, for
 instance, takes little but soda water;
 Lord Onslow, cake. bread and butter
 for tea, at one shilling a time, while
 Lord Buckmaster always has an or
 der in hand for Sultana roll.

LAPS USE MORE GAS
Cook Stoves and Heaters RepIac<
 Charcoal Burners.

Tokio, Jan. 9.-Japanese are be- coming greater users of gas and gas cook stoves and heaters gradually are replacing charcoal fires and braziers. The gas companies have thus far been unable to cope with the demand. The amount of gas distributed by the ''okio gas company increased from a billion and half cubic feet in 1912 to nearly three billion cubic feet this year, despite the fact that the com- pany has declined to install additional meters since 1914 owing to the city having refused its request to increase prices when the cost of coal went up.
 However, the company is now erect ing a new plant and at the end of this year, local gas consumers will have available a daily supply of four million cubic feet, according to of- ticials of the company.

Coal short age and car shortage is local mat ter in normal years. The nation has put men and money into coal mining and the railways to meet peak loads rather than provide a less amount of capital for coal storage and so insure steady and economical operation.
 The possibility of dcvising a use" classification that will permit wider pooling of coal is also suggested by the director. Such pooling would re- lieve the pressure on docks, terminals and railway equipment, he declared.

UNDERGROUND COAL STORAGE SUGGESTED
Director of Mine Bureau Offers
 Interesting Suggestion

Washington, Jan. 9.-Cnderground
 storage of coal at the mines is sug-
 gested by H. Foster Bain, director of
 the United States bureau of mines,
 as a practical step toward the ac-
 emulation of reserves of fuel neces-
 sary to stabilize industry and to pro-
 tect the domestic consumer in periods of acute shortage.
 The seasonal demand for coal can
 to some extent be met by storage, Di-
 rector Bain said in report to the
 United States Coal commission, but
 this must be dohe by the consumer or by some distribution agency operat- ing between him and the mine. At the mines the best place to store coal is in the ground, as with unimportant
 exceptions it is not feasible to pro- vide more than a limited amount of
 storage above ground.
 Anthracite compani established near points of consumption system of great storage piles which were valuable balance wheels to the trade and have facilitated steadiness of op- eration which distinguishes anthra- cite from bituminous mining, Dr. Bain said. Large scale storage of bitumi- nous coal has been less practicable because the uncertainty of future price has deterred companies and in dividuals from making the necessary investments. However, in certain periods as much as 60,0o0,00o tons of this coal have actually gone into storage, showing the feasibility of storing soft coal
 With proper selection of the coal and due attention to modest require ments as to methods. it is entirely practicable to store large quantities of most coal at moderate cost, he continued. The risk is in the uncer- tainties of future price. as the mine

HIGHER SCHOOLS
 CONFUSE PURPOSES
Frequent Changes Made That Stu
 dents Work Without Aim

Chicago, Jan, 9,-eonfnsi0n in the purpose of a college education in the higher institutions of learning, a cons diiion to which the elective system has contributed as well as the general influence of science, was indicated in an address here today by Dr, Robert l., Kelly Of New York, executive see- retary, before the annual meeting Of the Council of Church Boards Of Education,
 Charges Made
 "The charge frequently is made that students in liberal arts colleges the core Of American higher eduea. fion--work without aim or program" raid Dr. Kelly. Tn the judgment of there critics absolute confusion exists in these stronghoids as to the pnr- pose Of a college education. The multiplication Of plans for unifying college courses such as the required course in Contemporary Civilization for freshmen at Columbia university. the requirement. Of an examination in the bible and Shakespeare at Harvard. and others. indicates n tacit confes- sion of the truthfulness of the crifi. cism and an effort to correct the abuse.
 Efforts t0 untly
 Nearly all Of these pfNhs for unify- ing the curriculum are examples Of effort 10 unify the materials of the curriculum. In tho light of the vast amount Of curriculum material avail-
 
 can be no unity on the basis of curri- culum material.
 "The liberal arts college with re- iigious traditions has an opportunity to offer plan for unifying the col- lege curriculum on the basis Of re- ligion. Hhe main business of the col- legc course is to give the student a philosophy of life and the American college with religious traditions faces . unique opportunity at this moment"
