RAPSL. c. {.
BY JACK CEJNAR

INDIANAPOLIS Jan. 27.--Scien-
2ific adjustment Of the coal freight
rate structure in the United States
was demanded today by President
John L. Lewis of the United Mine
Workers as one of the remedies
Tor the ills Of the American coal
miner.
Discrimination Blamed
In a supplementary report to the
thirtieth constitutional convention
OF the International Union, Lewis
blamed discriminatory coal freight
rates for the lack Of stability in
the bituminous coal industry and
attacked the Interstate Commerce
Commission for actually aggravating
the evil.
BY lack Of stability, Lewis. said.
ne referred to excessive oyer5e.
velopment in the industry, intermit.
tent and seasonal operation, recur.
rent unemployment and chronic
competitive warfare.
Lewis raped the Interstate Com.
merce Commission as having 10
warrant of law to sustain existing
denominations in coal freight
rates.
Violation Charged
"Such discrimination is a gross
violation Of the Constitution of the
United States,'' Lewis asserted.
Referring to statement on
August Is, 1926, by William A.
Disque, one of the examiners of
the I. c. c. in his report in an
Indiana coal rate case in which
Disque blamed the miners wage
scale for the Ills of the Indiana
coal industry, Lewis hurled this
defy at the commission:
II challenge the right Of the In.
Serstate Commerce Commission or
Its representatives to use its great
power to break down the wage
standards and the living conditions
of the workers in the organized sec.
don Of the American coal industry.

High Offices; No Salaries

Many high offices in England are
filled by men who receive no sal
aries; among which is that Of the
prime minister. The prime minis
ter, however, usually accepts some
other post such as first lord Of the
treasury, which has a salary Of
$4,000 a year. Justices of the
peace, guardians of the poor and
district councillors give their serv-
ices free. The lord mayor of Lon
don, though he receives a salary Of
$4,000 a year, cannot hope to es-
cape with paying out less than
S123,OOO a wear in the fulfIlment of
his office, so that it really costs
him $4,000 a year to hold the
office.

COMBINED HARVESTER
GROWING In FAVOR

1.-THE combined harvester-thresh
er has given general satisfaction
in the great plains area and is
rapidly increasing" says R. S. XII
fer of the U. S. department of az
riculture. Mr.. Kifer has recently
issued a preliminary report of
studies made through the great
plains area to determine the prac-
ticability of combine operation.
The advent of the small combine
which can be operated by two
men and will cut a narrower
swath is largely responsible for
the increase as comparatively few
farmers a afford the larger ma
chimes. The smaller machines
have an average seasonal capacity
of 500 to 600 acres with cost per
acre varying with conditions.
The two important elements of
cost for harvesting with a combine
are, labor charges, fuel, repairs,
depreciation and interest on the
investment.
On very small farms where less
than rs acres are to be harvested
a binder or header has been found
to be o economical. On larger
farms the small combine is the
most economical machine, and on
the largest farms the larger com
bines prove to be cheapest.
Harvesting losses with combines
average 2.6 per cent of the total
yield compared with 3.3 for the
header and 6.1 for the binder. The
actual loss of grain averages 80
pounds for the combine, 40 pounds
for the header and "A pounds for
the binder.
Mr.. Kifer and his assistants in
the farm management division
have made exhaustive studies of
every phase of combine operation
and report them in the bulletin
which is now available at the
extension Office.

PLEASE PASS THE SALAD

Around the simple statement of
fact that the consumption OF let
tuce has increased 44O per cent
in the last ten years hangs a story
of how the average American has
changed his methods of examining
his stomach. Gradually. it APP
pears that we are becoming a ma
ton of grass eaters and vegetar-
ians.
While the population has in
creased but 10 per cent in the last
10 years, the cooks and salad max
ers of the land have dished up an
average of n per cent more po-
tatoes. cabbage, celery, tomatoes.
apples, grapes oranges, grapefruits
and similar fodder. The eXplana-
ton is not that the average in
dividual has been eating more-he
has been changing from a diet
composed largely of meat to a diet
composed largely of fruits and veg
enthusiastically known as
roughage and lubricants.
Half a dozen factors have been
at work to bring about this inter-
esting condition of affairs. The
newspapers, through the now es-
sential health columns, have been
preaching this change of diet since
before the war. Public school
cooking courses have educated
countless young things to the bene-
fits of the balanced ration. The
discovery of those invaluable but
invisible vitamiues, and the vast
amount of publicity they received.
f%urthered the cause.
Style has no little to do with it.
The creation of the fashionable
slim "boyish figure meant that
womanhood had to reduce her cir
conference, and the simplest way
was to quit eating so much. The
men folk suffered and benefited at
the same time.
Another big factor was econo-
mic. The increased costs of food
stuffs was noticed particularly in
the meat market. Vegetable din
ners were less expensive, and
therefore they increased.
The effects are going to be far
reaching. The average human
perimeter will be shrunk consider
ably, which is the chief physiolo-
gical profit and loss. For the ,
densely populated eastern states, ;
the change in diet is seen as a
solution for the abandoned farm
problem. for truck farming can be
made profitable where crop farm
ing cannot. And the meat packers
are beginning to look to their laur- ,

French DriDen to Revolt

The French revolution was main
ly the result of the oppression Of
the French people, who rose in re-
volt against the extravaganza and
tyranny Of the kings and mobiles.
In addition they had no adequate
representation in the legislature.
The taxes were heavy and in 1777
there were as many as 1,250,000
beggars in France. Alarmed by
the increasing signs of unrest in
the country, the king and some of
the mobiles began to gather the
army near Paris. This so enraged
the people of Paris that they
stormed the Bastile on July IA,
1879. This is regarded as the be-
ginning of the revolution.
