An analysis Of the sentiment to-
wards copper in Europe is given by
a competent observer as follows:
eff given any encouragement al
all European consumers would buy
a large tonnage of copper. But dur

they have met nothing but dis
couragement at every turn. Follow
ing every one of their buying move
ments the price of the metal he

consumers will have to buy. whether
for advance delivery or from hand
to mouth, as much copper as they
consume, there is another place c..
the matter that cannot be ignored.
It is those who have goods always
make greater efforts to find pur-
chasers than those do who are wait
ing for an opportunity to buy at low
prices. Having no copper, European
consumers are not working to adj
vance it's price, and they are not
striving to find new markets for
their products with the same eager
ness that they would have if they
had large supplies Of the metal on
hand. In Germany a real and sus-
tanned effort has been made to ex-
tend the sale of copper and brass
products, and it probably accounts
for that country's increased. copper
imports. To my mind the most I'M
satisfactory feature of the situation
on this side is that copper and brass
manufacturers are not being given
encouragement to reach out for new
business"

Turkish Strikers.

A dispatch from Adana, Turkey,
tells of the futile effort Of hundred
striking railway employees to thwart
the effort of the government to run
a train to Aleppo by lying on the track
in front of the engine. 1t seems that
a thousand of the railway men went
on strike the other day for higher
wages. this being the first largo dem.
onstration of this kind experienced in
the Turkish republic. That Turkey
under the rule of Kemal is up to date,
however, is proved by the methods
adopted to insure continued service.
Motor trucks were used to carry on
the postal service and trains were run
despite the shortage Of labor and the
obstacles put in the way of traffic.
When the hundred strikers stretched
themselves on the track in front of
the engine at Adana direct action was
employed. The police fired few shots
from their revolvers and the strikers
Immediately scampered as the train
pulled out Of the station. 1t would
have been interesting to know what
happened if the shots had been omit
ted and the train been started. Would
these men have remained on the rails,
or would the oncoming train have
driven them off as did the shooting?

Parking Concessions y

Discovery that enterprising persons
have set. up in business as guardians
Of motor cars in the public street
spaces of Greater New York has
caused quite commotion in that city.
One of the metropolitan newspapers
the other day learned that groups of
men have in effect taken possession
Of street spaces at points of large
public assemblage such as Coney Is
land. Later it was found that the
streets near the Polo Grounds, the
scene of base ball contests. nave been
similarly pre-empted. These self-ap-
pointed guardians have been taking
fees of from twenty-five to fifty cents
for the privilege OF parking cars.
Washingtonians know this to be an
old practice around the ball park, but
there is no evidence of an organiza-
ton as in the case Of the New York
parking concession" operators. Every
local resident who drives to the
| stadium" is hailed by a wouldbe
guardian of his car. Choice parking
spaces are pointed out. The driver
usually sees these places himself, but
the curbstone brokers of square feet
are unabashed by such initiative.
They set up no claims of ownership
| over these openings, but subtly give
the impression that unless fee is
granted the parked car will be in dan

er than that In New York. Formerly
a dime was an ample tip for the sup.
posed service of watching the car"
Now fifteen cents is the usual largess,
while sometimes a quarter changes
hands. Just what Is given in ex-
change for this fee Is mystery. AL
most every car owner locks his ma.
chine as he pulls it up to the curb
and the solicitor thereupon disappears.
After the game the car owner is some
times unable to find the guardian and
gets away without paying. for 1t is
customary to pay upon departure
rather than upon arrival. In New
York. 1t seems. the fee is given when
the car is parked.
OF course, nobody has any right to
charge for parking spaces in the
streets. These Washington operators
make no pretense OF holding conces-
sions, but the New Workers. engaged
In this business actually appear to
have parceled out the street spaces,
working on a system. 1t is hinted
that there is bit OF graft in the New
York game. through an arrangem ,rt
between the "concessionaires" and
the police force. That. however. is
not proved. There is certainly no evil
dence in Washington of such Il sys-
tenn. After all. it Is strictly up to the
motorist whether he pays anything
or not.

The moving picture industry has
grown so fast that despite its gigantic
proportions it continues to exhibit in

ture to which the local Irish.Ameri-

The District Will Pay.

Gen. Lords action in permitting the
Insertion in the regular District ap-
prcpriation bill of an item for $125,-
200 for preliminary work at Gravelly
Point, selected as the site of the Dis
.rict airport, goes far to assure the
ultimate success of the project. Con-
sress certainly has no reason to de-
hur. If the expenses of dredging ana
bling in land at Gravelly Point are
thared between the District and the
Federal Government on the present
basis of apportioning the expense OF
,ther items in the District supply
Mis-. the Federal Government will
aave made a remarkably fine bargain.
BY contributing it's customary lump
tam of $9,000,000 for number OF
tears to come, the Federal Govern
nent will complete some necessary
lredging and reclamation work on the
Potomac largely at the expense OF
District taxpayers. In return the Dis
riet .taxpayers will have the great
Measure of alluding TO a plot or
tround opposite Hams Point on the
Virginia side of the river as the ''mu'
neipal airport" and doubtless will
rain much satisfaction thereby. Con-
tress probably will go even further.
congress will gladly consent to have
he District include other items in its
Innual appropriation bills for the erec-
,ipn of hangers and other equipment
iecessary for an airport. Congress
has never interposed serious objec-
ion to having the District spend its
,Hrf money for Federal projects.
AN airport in the District-there is
10 serious harm in calling it a "mu-
licipal airport'-is as much a Fed
:rtii project as it is a District under
aking. The benefits to be derived
siN revert in large measure to the ad-
tantage of the Federal establishment.

If Congress continues its unfair

egardless of the amount paid by the
district, insertion of the airport item
b the appropriation bill is utterly un-
hir. It provides a dangerous prece-
lent. There is no telling to what ex-
rernes it might be carried. Again

ing to learn that this is more than
half million tons a week above con-
sumption for the corresponding period
last year. The decrease Of % per cent
as compared with consumption in the
first quarter of 1927 is explainable
largely by seasonal causes-milder
weather bringing down not only house
hold consumption and the amounts re-
quired for heating factories. office
buildings and other structures, but
also relieving requirements Of rail-
read locomotives, which consume less
fuel in Summer, and the consumption
of electric utilities, whose demand falls
off owing to the longer hours Of day
light.
Exports in recent months have
been about normal, domestic consump-
ion plus exports totaling 9,305 900 tons
weekly, in terms of bituminous coal.
Production plus imports have been
running around S,217,00O tons week.
The average deficit Of 1.088.000 tons
q week has been supplied out of con-
sumers' stocks and out OF the eXtraor-
binary quantity Of coal which was in
transit on April / and was not in
cluded in the count taken as OF that
date. Even should production fail to
be accelerated as Winter approaches.
the deficit probably would not exceed
Q 900 900 tons a week, and at that rate
stocks Of 100000 tons plus produc-
ton would last 81 weeks.

But production will increase when
demand improves. Neither the non
union mines nor those unionized mines
which are working by separate agree
ments are runping to capacity. with
rare exceptions. Even at very low
prices, bituminous coal Is not moving
in a way to make either: the average
mine owner or worker feel excessively
happy.
Distribution Of bituminous coal is
considered satisfactory. The greatest
decline in stocks. naturally. has been
in the Middle West, where normal re.
quirements are filled by mines which
in the main have been closed by the
suspension Of operations in the union
lied fields. But there is nothing ap.
preaching the danger point, even
there. Public utilities have more
than two months stock in their bins.
Industrial plants, in general. are well
supplied. Coal, both bituminous and
anthracite, on the Lake docks for
shipment to the Northwest on July /,
was in unusually large quantity for
that season. AS for anthracite. retail
dealers were wen stocked on that date.

EVERYDAY RELIGION
BY THE RIGHT REV JAMES E. FREEMAN, D. D.. ILL., D.,
Bishop OF Washington.

less caused many people to misinter.
pret and misconceive it's relation and
value to the world in which we live.
What we believe does affect our habit
of life as we'll as our outlook, and does
have n determining effect upon all
those things that vitality concern u.s.
Our social and political beliefs deter.
mine and regulate our daily course Of
action. They give tone and color to
our whole outlook and attitude toward
life. The wise man of old said, "As
a man thinketh in his heart, so is he"
He would seem to say that the exter-
nal things OF life do not affect us so
largely as do our thoughts concerning
them. A striking illustration of what
we have In mind was brought to our
attention by distinguished surgeon
whose fame is practically universal
A patient came to him who was seri.
ously afflicted with a seemingly incur.
able malady. He was greatly de-
pressed mentally and in the course
of his recital told the doctor that
one of the serious aspects Of his trou-
BILE was that he had experienced the
loss of his faith. After repeated and
unavailing treatments the great sur
geon conceived that there might be

ailment and the mans mental condi-
ton. Upon subsequent visit he
seriously discussed with his patient
the matter of his impaired religious
belief. He recounted to him his own
personal experience in the matter,
urging him to seek for the recovery
of that which he had seemingly lost.
Using such scientific skill as he pos
sessed, together with his persua sive
powers, he came at length to effect
a remarkable cure and coincident with
the recovery of the patients religious
belief came his complete physical
health. In relating the incident to
me the great surgeon declared that
it was a fine demonstration Of the
relation that religious belief bears to
our physical well-being and happiness
To the mind of Christ religious be-
lief had a disciplinary value. He did
not maintain that what He taught
men was a "cure-all. He did main
tain that it had a determining effect
upon life here and now. II have
made a man every whit whole" was
His assertion. 1t has been repeatedly
demonstrated that profound religious
belief not only insures tranquility and
peace of mind, but it also effects
finer and more normal habit of living
and repose of mind that issues in
physical and mental satisfaction "As
thou hast believed, so be it done unto
thee"
