Of Recent Investigation.

Storage Of bituninous coal presents
the only probable solution of the
problem Of stabilizing the coal indus
try, according to investigators of the
bureau of mines and the Carnegie
Institute of Technology, which have
Just completed a study of the spon-
taneous combustion of soft coal. So
long as the peaks of demand react
back to the miners, the coal industry
will be seasonal, with a resultant un-
satisfactory labor situation, accord
ing to Joseph D. Davis, fuel chemist.
and John F. Byrne, who conducted
the investigation. If some system
could be devised whereby coal could
be stored economically. with little
deterioration and danger of sponta-
aeous combustion. the mines would be
operated practically the whole year.
perhaps 800 working days, instead OF
180 to 270 days. as in 1920. at a uni
form rate of production.
Loss by Deterioration Cited.
: Loss of coal by deterioration at
ordinary temperatures is small when
compared with that caused by rapid
pxidization at elevated temperatures 8
and the loss by spontaneous ignition.
To overcome the hazards Of self-heat-
ing and spontaneous combustion.
various means of storage have been
suggested. but many of these methods
do more harm than good, and others
are prohibitive on account of their
cost.
The tendency of Goals to fire spon-

tanned, varies with their age-the
younger Goals being the most dan :
gerous. No case has been recorded
In which anthracite coal fired spon-

in Jumps, with Safety-except under

The solution of the problem of spon.

Have You a Little Gift
Shop of Your Own?
By MARIAN HALE

New York, Aug. Specifically
every business woman ever met con-
fessed to ME she hoped some day 10
be able to retire from what she was
doing and start a gift shop or n tea
room.
And the way these small shops are
springing UP. in cities, towns, subu,-
ban communities and even in the
country. has led me to believe that
many of them crafty their ambi-
tons.
So l went 10 Camilla Donworrh,
once an advertising manager, who
is now the proprietor of one of the
most interesting and successful gift
shops in Greenwich Village, and
asked her just what the lure of the
little shop Is.
Its because the little shop is :he
blending of home and business that
it really satisfies the modern woman"
she said. "A purely commercial job
gets tiresome 20 any woman because
it gives no development or outlet 10
the side of her that loves to putter
about a home and change the furni-
ture around each week.
Like Home.
"And likewise, just home and no
outside interests pail on the woman
trained to business. who has had q
touch of commercial life. But a lit
tie shop you run in connection with
your own home, or that gives you an
opportunity to supply things fos
other peoples homes, is IDEAL"
But is isn't as easy as it looks, she
warns.
'.rhe most common mistake of .he
amateur shopkeeper is that Of put
ting her prices too high" Miss Doa-
worth says. you must start on a
small scale ard build up confidence.
Don't try to be exclusive or dictl-
torial. You may go into it to please
yourself, but your success will de-
pend on how you please the public.
Getting Gifts.
"Of course. you must have taste
and know values. l spent several
years in the Orient and ] know the
value Of Oriental things. l buy an
tiques every day from those who are
breaking M their homes or sucrific-
ing their treasures, but ] know pretty
well which ones will sell and which
ones wouh lie around the shop for n
year or So"
Most people give little thought tp
gifts themselves and are glad TO put
the responsibility on someone else,
she finds.
Instead of thinking. I want a
lovely print for Mary because she is
collecting them the average donor
thinks We'll, / must get Mary some
present. ] hope | can find some
thing for So
I'm. every case, before making sug-
eestions, / learn whether the gift is
prompted by a personal feeling OF
whether it is an obligation-and
something of the taste and living con
ditions of the person who is TO re-
ceive it. never sell or suggest any
thing don't see beauty and value
to myself.
