SAYS COAL GAN BE TRANSFORMED
Scientist Declares It Can Be
 Made From Petroleum

Pittsburgh. Nov. e3 R1A new process that converts petroleum into coal was announced at the second International Conference on Bitu- minous Coal at the Carnegie Insti- tute of Technology today. Outside of laboratories coal has not hereto fore been made of oil.
 The announcement surprised conference which gathered because there is a surplus of coal and which has been hearing how to turn coal into gasoline.
 More Gasoline
 The creator of the new process, Dr. Walter Rittman, said that not withstanding the fact that it makes coal. the real importance is its power to produce more gasoline. and that it contains also the possibility of converting crude petroleum entirely into gasoline.
 Dr. Rittman is the famous chem- ist who gave the world. free of any charge. his patents for gasoline cracking processes. He is now pro- fessor and head Of the department of commercial engineering, at Car. negie Institute of Technology.
 Uses Waste
 The new Rittman process uses the waste petroleum left after all the gasoline obtainable by cracking has been extracted. By heating and running this waste through pipe coils several thousand feet long. each 400 tons of waste changes through vapor into 300 tons of oil that is re- covered from manufacture of gaso- line, and into 100 tons of residue that is coal. Dr. Rittman explained that this coal under analytis proved similar to more than half a dozen natural coals. His process differs from those previously used on pe- troleum waste which produced coke instead of coal.

STATUS OF FILLING STATIONS

Of filling stations, like books, there is no end: and willy-nilly. filling stations are more important to the multitude of tireless tire travellers than stacks of literature. It is much
 ca sier to find d place to park book.
 however, than a place to park fill- ing station. And that's what all the trouble is about-the contention, disscntion and unfavorable mention
 found in every city.
 Some would have filling stations outIaved from residence neighhor-
 hoods entirely; and these. 1t turns
 out, are sufficiently numerous to be
 residents of every neighborhood. 50 that if the law would listen we would
 have to go 10 some place where
 there are no residences for miles
 around if we would travel via gaso- line and motor. Or perhaps, if the fire and accident hazards would net tie no one. we could concentrate all of these gaudy emporiums down. town. Neither method is practicable, of course; we only mentioned them to paint the moral with a color suf-
 fclently bright to arrest the Tagging
 attention of even the color blind or the mentally piehald.
 The interminable gas argument ! which has afflicted this city from the dawn of automobilitls continues. one
 might say, with unabated fury. In
 an age when everybody needs gsso- line as he needs meat and drink. ] nobody wants one of these land
 marks of modern progress within two or three blocks of the domestic i hearth. Perhaps. to use mild terms,
 1t is an astonishing situation. Yet the l surprise rapidly declines when one ! is told that the chief alleged effect
 of a proximious gas dispensary is
 that surrounding property tends to | increase in value in decresendo of
 tempo. That hurts.
 Obviously. there is an clement of beauty of artistic town planning in | volved. but unless our mind is more atrophied than usual, and our per. ! ception blunted from over-indulgence ! in thought. it is our steadfast con- ! viction that if gas stations tended to 1 increase realty values in the vicinity | not a soul would object to their f presence. They might still obliterate
 beauty and spatter sticky mud on the
 canvas of art-but if they increased | values we would favor one next door.
 ! Yes, We are a practical nation.

CANYONS AS MEMORIALS


 A memorial? Or just an exhibit? Down in Pennsylvania announce ment has been made that captured cannon are not wanted as war memorials. The state art commission has drowned upon the placement of big guns as memorials and henceforth, it is announced, would not approve their erection for such purposes in the state.
 The reason: Cannon symbolize war. death and destruction, whereas the purpose of memorials is to per- petuate and represent herosm and sacrifice with designs symbolic of peace"
 Cannon in Pennsylvania, it is ex- pained, can be placed as interest ing exhibits" the point is. they can- not be labeled as memorials.
 Which leads us to think that they will continue to be put here and there as Interesting exhibits" It is we'll to have it clarified that they are not, strictly speaking, to be classed with memorials.
 That there has been widespread i opposition to the placement of can- non near memorials. or to have them placed too prominently, can scarcely be denied. In Hartford there was , strong opposition to placing a can- non in front of the old state house on the ground that it did not help to beautify the grounds or the vicinity. Resides. it was held. people do not care to be reminded of death and destructlon' every time they went downtown. The use of cannon for deeoraflVe purposes is not very dis tlnct1ve, it is held, as no war has been fought without the capture of | cannon on both sides. resulting in | their use as interesting exhibits. in once war-torn countries. | Berlin has such an Interesting e.- hiblt at its most prominent spot, and It IS great thing for children to climb around on during the good old summer time. kensington has had tiv1l War cannon alongside it's I Congregational church for many decades: New Britain has one of the , biggest howitzers being exhibited { but after considerable discussion if. hnal resting place will be far remoy- ed from our beautiful memorials This did not satisfy everyone, but it IS pleasing to the Park Board. which i must have had some ideas Ia i Pennsylvania.

THE GOVERNORS TAKE STOCK

While the north is feeling the stings of chilly breezes, the govern ors of various states have been en- toying balmy breezes down in New Orleans. finding the weather . vast stimulant for hard thinking and momentous discussions. The chief function of these governors confer ences. however. is to permit the chief executives to get acquainted with one another: and, as it hap pens. ono of the attractions of the New Orleans gathering is to give the more adventurous of their number an opportunity to SO aloft with Gov ernor Trumbull in his airplane. Due to his unfaltering interest in aviation. the Lindbergh Of the governors has an opportunity to be more promi- nent than any other.
 Coming from such high source. the proposal Of Herbert Hoover to create . fund of 5000, 100000 to provide public works in slack times perhaps will turn out to be the most important economic matter discussed by the governors Governor Ralph o. Brewster of Maine. who presented the plan, must have been grievously disappointed at the lack of definite support by his colleaEueA The ex- planation is that the governors do not pass resolutions. This seems to be the only important body extant that refuses itself the indulgence of pass ing resolutions: many organizations prefer to do almost nothing else.
 The scheme is in line with what one might term the best public thought on the question of unem- ployment. But even at its best it has some disadvantages. Public works give employment to rough labor; but usually all those out of employment are not adopts at rough labor, and indeed cannot earn enough at it to pay the rent-if they happen to be skilled mechanics thrown out of work by newfangled labor-saving machinery. This is getting to be an important problem in the midst of widespread prosperity. as came to the notice of the Federation of Labor recently. We are inventing more machinery than we need, and the day may yet come when the most important business of the day will be the pushing of buttons or the turning of switches which start automatic machinery in operation.
 Such questions, however, are too much for the governors in council assembled. Thought can be set in motion at their councils, but definite action is barred. The next meeting will be held in New England, and it's main result will and ought to be some good advertising of the scenic advantages of this tier of states. That's sight easier than rrappling with stubborn economic questions.

 We profess little hope that any thing better will happen thts time. Civil service ideas are simply not liked in Connecticut. What is the use of having organization. from the top down to the most picayune job in the state-whatever that may be if tho friends and hard workers and those able to swing votes are not to get first choice regardless of fitness? It simply is too heterodox a conception to please the boys pulling the guy ropes.
