 The foothills and great valleys inst north of the Endicott Range, which forms the divide between the Yukon river and the Arctic ocean, contain some of the greatest bodies of coal on the continent" said Dr.. smith. Tt is further proof that Alaska in past ages, had temper ate, if not a sub-tropical climate. At present there is no vegetation in that region suitable for forming coal"
 The country surveyed is included in the United States Navy Petroleum Reserve, No. 4, which embraces a territory about the size of New York state.

LESSON NO.2 THE PROPER USE OF LIGHT HOW WE SEE

our eyes until they cannot do their work without help.
 DECORATE WITH LIGHT
 Up to this point We have thought of lighting only as it helps us to see easily-in other words, as it is useful. Of course, this is very important in every room in the home, and everywhere else. But when we light our home, we want the lighting to make each room pleasant and attractive, and our lighting, except for the work rooms (the kitchen, the, laundry, the basement and attic), should be as much of a decoration or orna- ment as the pictures and rugs and curtains.
 Lighting equipment may be or namental and decorative, and at the same time it can be made in such a way that it will properly light the room. Much of the light ing equipment in use today can be 1 greatly improved by using shades | that are longer, so that the bulb | is completely hidden from the eye and denser, so that no extremely bright spot appears in the center of then.
 A FEW CAUTIONS y Here are a few cautions that will help you protect your eyes:
 Don't judge the amount of light in a room by the brightness of the bare, unshaded bulbs. That is the indication of glare. l Don't expose your eyes to un- shaded lights. That may cause eye strain.
 l Don't read while facing a bright light or a sunny window. Have the light come from beside you or over your shoulder.
 Don't use bright lights against a dark background.
 Don't try to read in a dim light that tires your eyes.
 Don't let your lighting equip ment get dirty. Clean it regularly. Dust and dirt may cause you to lose as much as one-half or even three-ffths of the light that the bulbs produce and that you are paying for.
 Don't depend cn taking out light bulbs to connect appliances and portable lamps. Have convenience outlets put in for this purpose.
 Don't be indifferent to the pres erYation of your eyesight,

 Zeppelin Hangar. Naval Ar sta- tion, Iakchurst. N. J, Oct. 14.- Drastic safeguards against possible inflammation and explosion of the hydrogen inflated zR-3 went into force at this station today, at or ders of Acting Commander Nj. k. Fierce.
 From now until the giant dirigi- ble arrives and can be emptied of the tracherous gas, which bore her here. every lesson taught by the tragic fates of her predecessors, the R-3S the Roma and the Dixmude will be kept in mind by ererysman on l.akehurst field.
 Later, when the ZR-3's 2,500,000 cubic feet of hydrogen can be ex- hausted safely into the air and the capacious chambers between her ribs >eflled with non-explosive helium such as floats the Shenandoah, the safety precautions will remain rig idly in force.
 Use only air lock doors for com munication between shops and han gar floor" said the placard of or ders Acting Commander Pierce dis tributed among his personnel and posted throughout the field.
 No smoking by anybody on land ing field while ZR-3 is on the field. No smoking any place in hangar, shops, or offices opening directly in- 10 hangar.
 No automobiles nor airplanes to enter hangar. Aircraft engines not to be run in hangar until satlsfac- tory ventilation has been provided.
 Flashlights not to be used In hangar. Gas tight miners lamps will be permitted,
 No one will go aloft except when wearing rubber shoes. Men going aloft are cautioned of danger of sparks from tools"
 The acting commander of the field, upon whom will rest responsi- biity for the safety, of the ZR-3 and her crew from the time she lands ordered further there be put out of commission at once:
 "The radio compass house. over head cranes, all inside hangar mo- tors, elevator buzzers and lights, floor light circuits, starting equip ment for heium dehation motor ra- dio compass electric leads, gasoline tank lights"
 Even the fire warden's telephone was ordered out Of commission as a safeguard against sparks, friction or electric, that might penetrate the himsy covering of the drigible and set off the devastating force of her hydrogen content.

Proper lighting requires two things: First, that there be enough light so that the eye can see quick ly and easily; and second, that this light be shaded and so placed in the room that the eye is not strained by glare. Many homes have soft, shaded light that is too dim for good vision; others have enough light but harmful glare IS a part of it; too few homes have plenty of light without glare, which is necessary for proper lighting and the protection of eyesight. The eye is truly wonderful or gan. Because it does not always immediately complain, we often make it work under great difficulty, and strain it.
 Have you ever stopped reading because of a feeling of discom- fort? You have a headache with out any reason for it that you can think of, or yous eyes feel tired, or you find that you cannot fix your attention on your book or paper. You may find later that these are signs you were straining your eyes.
 We can see under a dim light, but we can see more easily and more quickly if we have mere light. When We live day after day with too little light, we are likely to find that our eyesight is affected, and that we may need glasses. Then we know we, have strained

LEPER VISITS COPS
Washington Police Panic Stricken When One Walks In To Register 4 Protest.

Washington. Oct. 14.-The night force at police headquarters here re- ceived shock early today when Willard Centilever, escaped leper from the federal colony at Carrville, La., walked in and said he had been commissioned by the inmates there to come to Washington and protest against conditions in the colony.
 Before he was hustled off to the quarantine station here, a lonely two-room structure on the river bank. Centilever, who did not ex- plain why he put police headquar- ters on his visiting list, said the in mates at Csrrville had clipped in to pay his expenses. He had stop ped off at a number of cities on his way up, he said, but refused to name them or tell how he escaped.

Objects are seen by the light that falls upon them and is re. fected to our eyes. A dark object reflects but little of the light that falls upon it-perhaps less than ene-fourth; a light colored object reflects a large part of the light perhaps three-quarters.
 If we are to see objects, the light must fall upon them and be re- fected from them. The more darkly they are colored, the more light is needed to enable us to see them. The light that falls on ob- jects which we wish to see may be termed useful light. Most electric lamp bulbs when used without shades or refectors throw out light in all directions-just as much to the ceiling and walls of room as down to the table top. We'll de- signed shades are made so that they not only soften the light, but also reflect some light that would otherwise be wasted and direct it downward and outward to the ob- jects that we wish to see.

The point of the fight today and
tomorrow, as gathered from bonus
advocates and bonus opponents, il
that unless tax reduction is put
first in this session, there is q grave
Republican fear that the Democrats
may bring it about that there will
be no tax reduction at all.
Longworth is believed to share
this fear, and he is endeavoring
now, and will endeavor tomorrow
night to persuade his Republican
colleagues to sail into tax reduction
first and get it well ON it's way be.
fore they tackle any other major
proposition.
Longworth's opponents in this
matter are contending that it would
be foolish to reduce taxes before
finding out whether or not there
Is going to be bonus; because, as
they allege, the cost of bonus
must be known before the extent
of any possible tax reduction can
conceivably be known. =
Survey Confirms Views.
Longworth and his supporters re.
ply by saying that the cost of a
bonus never has been and never
will be estimated accurately enough,
to be the basis for any such exact
taxation figuring.
Confirmation is given to their
view by survey of the three diff
ferent sets of figures provided by
the Treasury Department In esti-
mating the cost of the existing
bonus proposal. These three sets OF
figures differ amazingly,
The first set was given to Sen
ator MoCumber when he was In
charge of the bonus bill In the last
session, The second set was given
70 President Harding when he
vetoed the bonus bill. The third
set was given recently to Congress-

addressed by him to Secretary OF
the Treasury Mellon.

MESSAGE
ATTACKED IN
COMMONS
Laborites Create Disorder and
Threaten Tory Members.
Macdonald Reelected.
By DAVID M. CHURCH,
TnkAPmnk inmnI NA..,. Raw-wRn.

LONDON, Jan. 9.-Disorders
broke out in the House of Commons
today when Jack Jones, a laborite.
declared that the phrasing of King
Georges message approving the
election Of J. III. Whitley as speaker
was deep insult to the members
of Commons
The Kings message had been
read in the House of Lords yester'
day when both chambers of Parlia-
ment met In common session.
Jones tried to raise a point of
order but Speaker Whitley ruled
that he was out of order.
Threats Against Jones.
This was the first definite move
made by the Laborites against the
Tory government. It Is expected
that every opening from now on
will be utilized by the Laborites for
an attack.
The scene today was marked by
angry outbursts on the part of both
Tories and Laborites in contrast
with the good nature shown by the
latter yesterday, despite their bois-
ferrous behavior.
Jones entered into an angry argu-
ment with the Tory members who
disputed his claims, making threats
against them. Cries of "shut up"
came from the Tory benches.
Situation Becomes Serious.
D. lKirkwood, a Scottish Laborite,
interrupted the quarrel by crying
out: "Why don't you go over and
hammer them?'
The situation was becoming most
serious when the speaker interfered
and restored order.
The Labor Party approved the de.
cision Of the executive committee
to force a government If invited by
King George to do so.
Ramsay Macdonald was reelected
leader and John Robert Clynes
deputy leader. The lesser officials
OF the party were reelected.

Cnngs On Outside OF
Coach For Four
Miles

PALMYRA, N. j., Jan. g.
Harrison Staley had a thrilling
ride over part of his daily jour
ney to Philadelphia. After
running several blocks to catch
the train, he arrived at the
station in time to board the
step of the last coach, which
was then pulling out.
Gripping the hand rails as
he boarded the step, Staley
was startled to find the coach
door shut. The trap-door was
also lowered, and with the train
gathering speed, he was forced
to maintain his hazardous posi-
ton until the train reached
Delair, four miles distant.
Numbed by the biting cold,
Staley was near exhaustion
when the train stopped. Had
he been rclinging on the oppo-
site side of the coach, he
would have been sideswiped by
an eastbound train.
