AFRICA'S COAL CHEAPEST

Paying coal bills in Africa is easier than in this country, for it has the cheapest coal in the world, and the seasons for stoking furnaces are much shorter. Accessibility of ths mines and the large number of na- "Fe workers make the cost of min- ing small, and the popularity of the inexpensive fuel has grown until production now is three times that of 25 years ago.

SKULLS OF FOUR
 WOMEN AREFOUND
Detroit Negro, Missing, Sought
 by Police

Detroit, | CD. ll pf-Doubllul whether four skulls and two braids of hair, one blood clotted, found in an abandoned trunk in house in Royal Oak were those of slain wo- men or had been stolen from graves police today enlisted aid of authori- ties in Illinois, Pennsylvania and Ohio in an effort to locate James .. Coyner, alias Ed Grayton, believed to be owner of the trunk.
 The skulls were found by children of a Negro family which recently moved into the house, the last pre- vious occupant of which was Coy ner, who left Royal Oak about a year ago.
 Chicago, Feb. F P-A giant Negro named James Coyner was convicted of grave robhing at Ham, mond, Ind, last November and sent enccd to three to ten years in the Michigan city penitentiary. He WAS found guilty of stealing the body of a white woman from Oak Hill ce~le- tery in that city.
 Coyner confessed that he had planned to take the body to Beren- ice, H., he could offer no other ex- planation.
 Detroit, Feb. 12 UP)-A nation- wide hunt for James H. Coyner, a negro, in whose former home in Royal Oak township two boys yes terday discovered the skulls of four women. was under way today.
 A notebook containing names and addresses of several prominent wom- en in Detroit and Pittsburgh also was discovered among rubbish In the deserted house.
 Whether the skulls were of white women or not, physicians could not tell, but police claimed to have found several strands of long hair, clotted with blood. indicating the victims might have been of the Caucasian race.
 Mrs. Esseyltyn, Chicago Boule- yard" and Mrs. Harold F. Ward we'll, Crosse Pointe," were two of the names contained in the book. The addresses are in Detroit, and hus- bands of the two women could not understand why the names would be in the negros book. The wives are not missing.
 Coyner was believed to have been a member of Co. D, 5l0th Engineers during the World War. He had worked at the Ford Motor company but left there about 9 year ago. He lived alone in the house.
 The skulls were wrapped separate ly in newspapers and hidden beneath an army uniform in trunk. Be- cause they were not bleached or otherwise chemically treated, physi- clans said they were not a part ot a medical collection.
 One of the skulls was wrapped In a Detroit newspaper of March D, 1925. The others were wrapped in Pittsburgh papers bearing dates in 1920 and 1921.
 Mrs. James Scribner, Mrs. Arthur Little. Mrs. A. B. Frampon, Mrs. Frank Harrington and Mrs. William Porter Witherow were other names found in the note book. which was wrapped in a sociey page of Pitts burg paper.

WOMEN IN POLITICS

~ HICAGO'S woman candidate for mayor is
wiser woman than she was a week ago
when she tossed her hat into the ring. At
ter her first experience of what she calls "prac-
teal politics. Mrs. Johanna Gregg withdrew
from the mayoralty contest. She decided that
women did not know enough yet about practical
politics to make good candidates. She arose
bright and early the day on which petitions
be filed the first to be filed gets first
place the ballot. She was the first one to
appear at the city hall. In fact she was so early
that clerk told her it was not the right day.
Nevertheless when places were assigned she
found herself third on the ballot. After this ex-
perenee Mrs. Gregg withdrew with the state
ment that ''the time is not ripe for a woman can
didate for mayor" However, she FASTENED to
add that "some day Chicago will have a woman
mayor"
This experience might seem to imply that
women would have to learn the game of prac-
teal politics before they would stand any show
as candidates. But the truth of the matter is
that women will first have to change the game
known practical politics" by the intelligent
of the ballot. Getting into the game will not
help the matter and is only apt to disilusion wo-
men.
DIR. Roy L. Smith, speaking at the recent
midwinter meeting of the Minnesota Federation
of Women's Clubs, gave his audience some good
advice along this line when he urged women not
to go into politics with the idea that they are
there to add to the political wisdom of the party
but rather to help raise the standards of politics
with their idealism.
"The men who have preceded you through
the years in politics." he said, shave invented
about all the chcanery we need, thrown about
all the mud in sight and indulged in about all the
disagreeable personalities that anyone could de-
sire" DR.. Smith also told the women that 'the
back-slapping, brass-throated, masculine woman
whose chief argument is her success will fail,
but the idealistic, determined and informed wo-
man who is most womanly have what her
best instincts demand she shall have
This opinion would agree with Chicago's
woman candidate for mayor. 1t is not necessary
for women to learn practical politics. They had

MY SHIPS

MY SHlPS
/ do not know when it will be-perhaps long
years have yet to come
And them perchance tomorrow's sun will my
ships a-sailing home.
At dawn l watched them sail away, my gallant
ships, fair to see,
And Love and Youth beside me stood, and all the
world belonged to me.
Their sails were silver, fairy things, their cargo
was a treasure-trove
Of all that life would bring to me, the things I'd
be and have and love.
The gorgeous deeds l meant to do, the pictures
that l thought to paint
The songs I'd sing the journeys far, the gifts
I'd lay at shrine of saint.
And now I wait for their return, and sun and
storm about me beat,
But all beside will be forgot when once again l
see my fleet.
And if they be a little late and darkness hide
the sea from view,
Somewhere upon shore I'll wait-somewhere
my dreams will all come true.

BEATING NATURE TO 1T.

n R. r. B. HARVEY, associate of plant
J physiology and botany at the College of
Agriculture of the University of Mime
sofa outlined in speech last week his method
of artifcally ripening fruits and vegetables. He
has succeeded with the of ethylene and
propylene, in ripening green vegetables and
fruits in an incredibly short time, often in less
than twenty -four hours. Dr. Henrys research
in this field has him international recog
milton and this method is expected to revolution
ize the growing habits of fruits the world over.
The greatest Importance of such an artificial
ripening would be the possibility of growing the
most perishable kind of fruits in the northern
states with short growing seasons.
AS we understand the method these gases,
ethylene and propylene are injected into a store
room in which has been placed green fruit AS
the gases circulate the fruits begin to feel
"rpe on the bough' and, 10 and behold, they is
sue forth from the storeroom in the morning,
palatable. We do not presume to understand the
subtle influence of these gases but we can let
all we will expect of Mother Nature will be to
start things right and then the chemist will fin
ish up her work for her in hurry. Perhaps
the day will when Mother Nature can be
ruled out of the competition entirely.
DIR. r. b. Harvey now takes place among the
foremost of the plant psychologists of the world.
His contributions to research in that field are
considered among the most important in recent
years.

As matter of fact, and being perfectly
honest, women ARE bit hard to please. Here
we have the women of the Orient finally dom
