has told us that there is a big sur plus in stock, and sundry statisti- clans have "conhrmed" 1t. This al- legation. however. does not interest the public so much as the wide spread realization that the price of anthracite has been constantly ris- ing.
 The real sufferers Of the anthra- cite stalemate will be the poor. It has been easy enough to tell tho people 10 buy coal early; but everybody is not in a position 10 do that. Coal concerns are not running charitable institutions and when they All a cellar with a winters supply they want reasonably prompt payment A large section of the population is in no position to pay for a winters supply Of coal within short time. They are in the habit of buying a few tons as they need 1t and have been doing the same this year in srite of the strike. It will be this large section of the public which will suffer most when the price goes up in conformity with the trying situa- ton.
 It has been pointed out that there is no warrant in law for tho President or the administration to proceed summarily to settle the strike" Yet Congress will soon be in session and there is sure to be congressional criticism at "do- nothing" policy. There are some who say the President is taking no steps in the controversy at this time in order to impress Congress with the necessity of passing law strengthening the hands of the gov ernment in such emergencies
 It is unlikely that the present policy of hands-off will continue in- definitely. The belief that both sides in the controversy have been willing to cease operations In order to unload a large supply of coal at enhanced prices has taken hold in responsible circles: and many congressman, with the Coal Com missions never-acted-upon report at their elbows, are quite certain to accept this view and permit their emotions to guide their ac- tions.
 Whatever is behind the coal strike, 1t is a gamble with the fu- ture. Neither the operators or the miners can tell what will happen to either or each If the cessation from work continues long enough. It is like train running down a mountain grade with broken brakes the tracks may be clear or some thing may be In the way.

BUT SAFE IN SEVERE STORM
New England Rum Patrol Has
 Rough Time at Sea

Boston, Oct, l2 R,-The United States Coast Guard rum patrol in New England was scattered, battered but safe today after weathering AS hours of terrific northerly gales which longshoremen described as among the worst in their memory. Four of the 75-foot partol boats were disabled at sea in the storm but their crews were safe.
 Two of the boats were being lowed 10 shore carly today by rescuins tcoastguard cutters. Tho third was at its New London, Conn, base, afloat but out of commission from damages. The fourth, the CG-l2S, was q dcrelct of 2S0 miles southeast of Nantucket, while her crew Of six men were taking an enforced trip to Glasgow aboard the Cunarder Cam eronia, which rescued them from their helpless craft.
 News Over Radia.
 The radio brought first intlmatlon that the partol was in peril late Saturday night. It was learned that the CG-23S had run out of fue! i bucking the gale and was wallowin6 l 2S miles off Cape Cod light calling 1 for a tow. The cutter Tampa and destroyer Cassin went to her aid and the Tampa took her in two shortly before midnight last night She was expected at the South Boston coast guard base early today.
 The Cameronia found the 128 helpless 200 miles off Nantucket Saturday night and stood by until the seas abatcd enough to take off the crew yesterday noon. Having f lost 15 hours, the Ca'meronia was forced to proceed with tho rescued men before another boat could ar riv to effect a transfer. Word WAS broadcast that the 12S had been abandoned and for shipping 10 watch for her as a menace to navigation.
 Makes Port Unnidcd.
 The co 12G was the only boat Of the four to make port unaidod, She reached New London with her bow splintered, one englNe out or Coln~ mission and her crew of seven ut- terly exhausted from their S6-hour fight with the storm. She was watching the Arcola, q Lunenburg rum schooner, when the gale broke.
 She put in at Montauk Point after following the Arcola to sea, but was battered against her dock and again put out to make New London. One engine went dead and she reached her base making two knots.
 Little was known of the trouble with the fourth boat, the CG-l4t. Radio stations here learned that the cutter Mojave had her In tow south of Nantucket and that she was bound either for Newport, R. l., or Woods Hole.

The Ancient Highway


 By Marjorie Marine Lawson I love 10 read, in ancient lore, Of people who have gone before, Of things they ate; the way they
 swore, "'Od's Bodikins! Gadzooks!" The way they dressed; the songs
 they sung; The men they praised and those
 they hung; + The schemes that wise gazabos
 sprung On potentates and dukes. I find that jokes VIC laugh at now Were what our stage folks call a
 "wow" When Grecian actors made their
 bow A good long while ago; And engineers say we should praise Especially their great highways; The ancient peoples, in their days, Knew tricks we'd like 10 know. Though roads built to the greatt
 god Zeus Long since have gone, through
 great abuse, One ancient highways still in use. Still free from bump or hummock; It's used by any girl who's smart For 1t leads to the marriage
 mart That ancient highway to mans
 heart Down through his well-knoHn
 stomach!

Next to the manufacture of au- ,tomobiles and radio, the making of automatic traffic signalling devices seems to be the most "active" busi- ness extant.

The advice of the Times was to go slow about buying such apparatus, d. though the value of the new fanged inventions may be proven.
 The samo holds good for New Britain. In tho first place, there is TO visible appropriation for the purchase of such contrivances, and though such concerns might make 'easy terms" the economy com plez would suggest that there be no obligations incurred until the money is appropriated.

Ledge House And Cabins To
Open For Season, Saturday

One of the most interesting and
Scenicly attractive motor trips from
Augusta is by way of Dead River to
Flagstaff and Stratton, and thence
across to Rangeley and back via
Pennington and Belgrade. This loop
is through some of the most varied
and beautiful country traversed by
improved highways in northern New
England. 1t is into the Benedict Ar
mold country and besides stately and
majestic Mount Bigelow, which is
completely circled, reveals further
combination of mountain, forest,
lake and open country vistas which
have few equals in the entire East.
Augusta people particularly will be
gratified to learn that the Ledg
House and Cabins at Dead River
near the eastern end of Mt. Bigelow
will again be open to tourist trade.
This splendid equipment is owned by
Blaine S. Viles of this city and Her
bert C. Fo3s the genial and efficient
manager who presided at the hostel
ry last year will be in charge again
this season. The Ledge House and
Cabins will open their season on
Saturday of this week, Memorial
