THE ADMIRALTY ISLAND COAL
 COMPANY.

The interview given The Empire by Howard Lerch of the Admiralty Island Coal Company tells a remarkable story of efficiency in the develop ment of the coal mine at Harkrader, and one that makes it quite evident that the company has large quantity of excellent coal. It was only last April that the Admiralty Island Coal Company began developing the property it had acquired. It started shipping coal in small quan- titles to Juneau in incredibly short time thereafter, and the shipments have continued regularly. Mir. Lerch says by about October goth the mine will be producing 100 tons of coal daily, and that this figure will be increased to 200 tons within three months At this rate, within less than a year from the opening of the prop erty, the production will cut a wide swath in the coal consumption of this section.
 That sort of work speaks for itself The record shows competency in management and it would to a layman to be proof that the property contains coal in quantities that will make a mine with continuation of the sort of management that it has had.
 All the indications that this section has acquired industry, one that will contribute a great deal toward the growth of population and business. steady stream of 200 tons of coal a day-and that will in the course of time be increased-will keep lot of money in this re- zion that heretofore has been sent away for fuel
 The Admiralty Island Coal Company is appar- ently becoming of the leading industrial and business institutions of Juneau, and one that deserves the we'll wishes and cooperation of the entire community. From the beginning it pro ceeded to work and it has kept at it. Without ostentaton or hot air of any sort, it appears to be driving its way to

THE YANKEES VICTORY.

The New York American baseball team has won it's third World Series the last two of which were clean sweeps of four straight games each It's preponderanee in the series just ended was greater than it last year when it won four straight from the Pittsburgh Nationals Last year the Yankees made 23 and 9S hits against 10 runs and 29 hits for the Pirates This year they made 27 runs and 99 hits against 10 runs and 27 hits for the St. Louis Nationals.
 The prevailing opinion is that the New York American baseball club has been for seven or eight seasons the strongest team in professional baseball In that time it has six pen nants and was runner-up against Washington twice. It's first three world championship con tests were with the New York Nationals, and while they lost two of the three, expert opinion was that the Giants had the best of the breaks and the Yankee youngsters were nervous and not at their best in their first experience against the seasoned McGrawites who had fought in many World Series battles. The Yankees ought, at least to have won their second contest with the Giants Two years ago there is no doubt about the Yankees superiority over the Cardinals. The composite score gave them the best of the contest in every particular except the number of games won. It was hard luck that gave them only three victories to the Cardinals four With even luck the Yankees would probably have won at least five championships in the six times they have contested.
 However the Yankees have glory enough for team. They have won two championships in Succession with four straight games each, the first time it ever was done aud in the two con tests they made 50 runs and r hits to 20 runs and 56 hits for their opponents. Their only dan gerous rivals this year were the Philadelphia Athletics who came up from behind and almost took the American League pennant that had seemed to be all but cinched. The contest be- tween Yankees and Athletics was not terminated until the very last days of the season. The Yankees finished two-and-a-half games ahead

SOME CHURCHES NOT INTOLERANT.

Richard V. Oulahan, veteran political cores pendent of the New York Times, says those who are attempting to swing the Protestant church vote against Gov. Smith just because he is a Catholic, are meeting with rebuffs from the Epis- copaians and Presbyterians. He declares that generally speaking the Presbyterian Church as church is staying out of the campaign and and that most of the Presbyterans including ministers who are Democrats are remaining regular-particularly in the South. The Epis- copalians completely out of the picture as church while most of their cergymen in the South are for Gov Smith. It is said that the attitude of Dr. Van Dyke, Dr. Fosdick and

Economic conditions which tend

discussion of the divorce question.
Its about q tifty-fifty PROPOSE

and the woman as to which of them
is at fault for failure to live in
marital happiness.
"Seventy-hve per cent of the di-
vorce cases filed and heard in this
court involve families in which one,
and most Of the time both Of the
principals are employed in facto-
rieS," the judge observed. "Often
the wife earns almost as much
money as her husband. She is as
apt to tire of married life as he is
when both are employed. The
woman is compelled to get up early
in the morning to do the house
work before she goes to the factory,
and her nights are taken up the

THEIR LETTERS
By RUTH DEWEY GROVES

BIZ RUTH DEWEY GROVES
My Dear Marye:
Parents are blamed for every
thing. Maybe they have made
mistakes, but how in the world you
can hold your friend Shirley's
mother responsible because Shirley
deceives her I can't see.
And certainly I haven't ever
done anything to justify your being
like some of the girls 1 see around
here-girls with nice mothers, too.
They probably we're brought up
about the same way you were. so
how can you blame their mothers.
because they smoke and swear and
act like rowdies?
Your own mother-in-la Is a
good example of one of these much
abused parents. Goodness knows
poor Mrs. Meredith did everything
she could to bring her children up
God fearing and respectable Of
course she was w>ll along in years
when Florence was born and you
might say that the girl didn't have
much of her personal attention be-
cause her mothers been ailing ever
since Florence was little.
Would you say. then, that a
mother who hasn't really been able
to share her daughters childhood is
to blame if the girl turns out to be
enc of the towns leading fiappers?
1t can't work both ways, Marye. If
you blame Mrs. Meredith you can't
blame mothers like-well, like me,
and Mrs. Wells. I imagine we are
typical of the average mother.
And if the average mother is to
blame for the wildneSS of our mod
ern girls then who is responsible for
Florence? I think it Is the other
boys and girls she associates with.
There isn't a parent in town who
doesn't worry about the crowd
Florence and her boy friend, Ken
meth, are running around with.
The other night they congregated
in an abandoned house near the
river and threw party" as Frank
says. When it was over they burned
down the house and some of the
sparks flew over to Phillips farm and
set the barn on fire. There wasn't
much damage done for they all
rushed over and put the fire out.
But Phillips is threatening to sue
the parents of everyone of them.
guess they will have to pay him
more than the barn is worth to keep
him from making a bigger scandal
out of it.
1t was early in the morning when
the house burned so you can judge
how long the party lasted. Philips
said some of the boys were tipsy.
I'd like to hear you blame the
parents for that! Lovingly.
