NEED OF COAL
INDUSTRY HERE

w WASHINGTON, May IA. - Steady
fact-finding activity and provision for
government aid in any emergency
werel outlined today as features of
the administrations program for coal
legislation.
Secretary Hoover and George Otis
Smith, head of the geological survey
and member of the presidents coal
commission, told the house commerce
committee that truthful publicity
must be the basis of an effective So
luton of the coal problem. A meas
ure charging the fact-finding power
of the bureau of mines is being draft
ed by Chairman Parker Of the COM
mittee. 1t is similar in principle to
the Copeland measure recently ap-
proved by senate committee.
Secretary Hoover urged that fact
finding activity include statistics upon
production, distribution, stocks, con-
sumption, wages and average prices.
The chief ills of the bituminous in
dustry, he said, are too many mines
and the seasonal character of the in
Gustry, but regardless of the solu>
ton, prevention of periodic suspen-
sion of production must come first"
Smith said the 100000 spent for
the fact-finding work of the coal COM
mission was worth it even if the
board did nothing but declare itself
against government ownership" Con-
gress should exercise it's inVestigat-
ing power more than it's Legislative
authority, he added, to allow publicity
to force the industry to 'straighten
itself out"

Federal Investigation
OF Fake Mexico-ArizOna
Mining Concerns Looms
(By Dispatch A. P. wire>


CHICAGO, May 13.-Federal inves-
tigation of an abandoned Mexican sill
Yer mine project into which investors
in this country are said to have pour
ed million dollars without likelihood
of return was indicated as probable
today by private operatives who
brought about the arrest of three all
legged principals in the scheme here
yesterday
Farrell Chamblain, detective, who as
prospect" uncovered an alleged
international organization illegally
promoting sale of stock in Mexican
property, said he was prepared to go
before a federal grand jury and pre-
sent evidence for indictments charg-
ing use of the mails to defraud.
Milton Denny, identified as president
of the Las Animas Mining and Milling
company; George w. Ray, manager,
and Mrs. Betty Pipes, said to be the
lure" OF the Chicago headquarters
for investors, were arraigned today
and pleaded not guilty to charges of
violating the Illinois securities laws.
The hearing was continued until May
g. witt individual bonds fixed at
$4,000.
The charges were based on alleged
discovery that the company did not
have title to the Mexican properties
for which it sold stock and that, al
though incorporated in Arizona in
1907 the organization was no longer
a corporation.
ChambIain said the concern main
tanned another headquarters in Guada .
lajara, state of Jalisco, Mexico, where
the husband of Mrs. Pipes enthusias-
ticallN answered queries about the
mine forwarded to him at the sug
gestion of the Chicago officials.

Oil Hinges and Latches
to Prevent Impairment

Automobile door hinges and latehes
are pieces of mechanism that, like
anything else of the kind, require a
certain amount of fabrication to pre-
vent rust and the collection of dust
and dirt in them. Squeaks are the re-
suit of nonattention to this detail at
intervals. But due to these fittings
being where clothing sometimes rubs
against them, it is not desirable to
squirt cylinder oil on them after the
manner of lubricating other parts.
This would soon run off, anyway. A
good lubricant for these parts is lin
seed oil with which small amount of
powdered graphite is mixed Linseed
oil seems to have less of a tendency
to run and spread than cylinder oil,
and when it collects dust and dirt, a
gummy mixture results which has the
effect of holding the graphite where
it is put. OF course, a very small
quantity of the graphited linseed oil
is all that is needed at each point

THE BRAND" OF
DISHONESTY

WTE FREQUENTLY speak today
of the brand of ignominy, the
"brandp of dishonor or of shame with
reference to stigmas that are not Wis
ible and which leave no marks. But
in their origin these brands" were
quite literal and physically painful as
we'll as humiliating. For branding of
many varieties was a legal and Off
cial punishment very popular with
the early colonists on American soil.
Its origin, of course, takes us back
further to the Middle ages in England
and the continent whence came the
colonists.
\ The offenses for which early seek
ers after freedom on American soil
were branded with iron as today only
cattle are branded, are innumerable.
Among them were such heinous crimes
as criticism Of the government or in
subordination Sgainst constituted au-
thority. In the following record OF
the punishment of religious dis
senter, the fate Of a Quaker in Purl-
tan New England, we have a remind
err of the institution which survives in
our figurative reference to stigma
as a brand:
1.-THE Drum was Beat, the People
gather'd. Norton was fetch'd and
striped to the Waste, and set with his
Back to the Magistrates, and given in
their View Thirty-Six cruel Stripes
with a knotted cord, and his hand
made fast in the stocks, where they
had set his Body before, and BURN'D
VERY DEEP WITH A RED-HOT

AS Told by
Irwin S. Cobb
sTIcKLER FOR THE CODE

A SURVIVOR of Mosby's cavalry
4 = told me this one, years ago as IL
Illustrative of the Germans love for reg
ularity and orderly routine in all the
affairs of life.
1t would seem that Bavarian inn
migrant Joined a Union regiment and
in The third year of the war was sent
70 Virginia. One night he lmbibed too
heavily of strong drink and fell asleep
in corn crib. When he awakened he
discovered that during the night me-
gro camp follower had stolen his uni
form, leaving behind a ragged civilian
outfit. The German clothed himself in
these tatters and set OUT to find his
command.
Presently another and an even more
disagreeable circumstance than the
theft Of his wardrobe impressed itself
upon him. BY certain signs he was
made aware that while the federal
forces had Withdrawn from their old
positions the enemy hac advanced
so that he was now inside the foes
lines
AS he limped toward the rear hop
ing to overtake the retreating force,
squad of ragged gray troopers came
whirling out of thicket and sur
rounded him. Quite frankly he told
them who and what he was, and they
made prisoner out of him.
Presently his captors halted him
where a tree limb stretched across the
road, and one of the southerners, un-
shipping pillow line from his saddle
bow, proceeded to fashion a slip-noose
in one end of it. The captive inquired
Of the lieutenant in command what
the purpose of all this might be.
Why" said the lieutenant. we're
going to treat You as we would any
Yank caught inside Of our lines in dis
guise Under the laws Of war we're
going to hang you as a spy.

coffee, tea, spices, and various con-
diments may be carried. Pots, pans,
and kettles may also be carried in
the portable cabinet
"The matter of proper clothing is
as important as proper food. Those
who can should wear wool next to the
skin at all seasons, for wool is the
surest protection from every whim
of the elements, and it Is not uncom-
Portable in warm weather, in fact
the contrary is true. Silk stockings
and cotton underwear have spoiled as
many camping trips as uncomfortable
beds. A so per cent wool garment is
the sensible thing to wear in sum
mer, for the wool insulates the skin
against intense heat and also against
the sudden chill that comes on after
the sun has gone down in high al
titude camping. Women should wear
knickers or riding breeches, with OK
fords and middies. Men will find
khaki breeches, wool shirts, and put
tees ideal for tire camp and for long
distance driving"
