COMPARISON OF COAL
PRICES HELD WRONG
Suter Says New York and Other
Cities Use Short Ton," While
Local Dealers Use Long"

The comparison of prices charged
for coal in the District of Columbia
with the prices charged in New York
and other cities is misleading and
places the local coal dealers in false
position. according to Jesse C.. Suter.
secretary of the local coal merchants
board of trade.
Mr.. Suter explained that the reason
prices per ton in the District were
higher, when compared with New
York and other cities, is because in
those cities the short ton of 1000
pounds is used whereas the District
dealers use the long ton. 2,240 pounds.
Egg nut coal in New York is $16.24,
stove coal $1652 and pea coal $12.05,
If figured on the long ton basis. Con
tinued comparison of District prices
with other cities that use the short
ton is wrong, Mr.. Suter said. He
also declared that he saw no reason
why the District should be one of the
very few cities of the country to still
use the long ton measure, and de-
clared 1t was as foolish as using an
diversified foot rule or weight measure.

SINAI DISCOVERIES,
GET NEW IMPETUS
interpretations of Writings
of Ancients Tend to Throw
Light on Moses.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April "a new impetus
has been given excavations in BibH-
cal lands as a result of recent inter
pretations of newly discovered in
scriptions on the Peninsula Of Sinti.
which illuminate the writings from
Sinai, the relation Of the ancient
Hebrews to the Egyptians and pos
sibly, the character of Moses.
Prof J. NJ. p. Smith of the Univer-
sity of Chicago, has examined a script
discovered some years ago by Sir
William Flinders Petrie at Serabit FL
HadeN. He suggests that Egyptian
influence on Hebrew life stands out
with increasing Clearness in the dis
covery.
''As 1 pointed out some years ago,
he said today. the Old Testament
and its people were under great obh-
CATION to the culture Of Egypt. Only
recently we learned that they hoI-
roWed one section of the book of Pro
verbs directly from Egyptian sources.
Now we find that to Egypt they owed
the impetus for the creation of that
alphabet through the use of which
they We're to make priceless contri-
button to the thought and life Of the
world"
On the basis Of interpretations
given the script by two European
authorities, which connect the writ
ings with the story of Moses and the
Pharaoh's daughter, Prof. Smith sug-
gested that an abundance of material
to confirm Biblical narratives is
probably awaiting the eXcavatoT :
