LARGER RACE CARS MAY
 CREATE NEW INTEREST

WASHINGTON, July 10.-The in terest of American automobile man. ufacturers in motors racing is ex- pected by the American Automo- bile association to be revived next year with the return to the tracks of cars with larger engines.
 The European precedent was fol- lowed when the 9l1s cubic inch piston displacement limitation was placed on American racing cars several years ago.
 In Europe, where fuel, tax and other costs are high, the small engined car was a practical thing. The performances of the small-en- gfnedscafs however, did not paral- Tel those of the average American road car and the American manu- facturers began to lose interest.
 Beginning with the Indianapolis 500-mile race next year, the cars will be of 336 cubic inch displace- ment. #

will produce great quantities of tar dis

and the various stages of refining will
create new enterprises out of what are
now only laboratory experiments.
Whatever may happen to other parts
of our country, we can prophesy that
those regions where soft coal is found
will enjoy an ever increasing activity
and probably an expanding prosperity
DR.. Baker said. I'VE cannot foreSee in
Just what respects science would cure
the ills Of the coal industry, but we may
be confident that some of the ap-
parently insurmountable difficulties will
yield to the patience and hard work
of the investigator"
DR.. Baker declared that electricity
can never furnish more than third Of
tions, even though every stream and
watercourse in the country is harnessed.
But with the inroads into the coal in
dustry by new engineering and scien-
ttf1c developments, it is necessary for the
coal industry, he said, to seek con-
Stantly new uses for its production.
Search is now being made, he said,
for satisfactory low temperature dis
tillation process to increase the value of
coal and provide a cheaper substitute
for anthracite for domestic purposes by
transmitting low-grade bituminous into
high-grade fuel.

ROSY FUTURE SEEN
FOR COAL INDUSTRY
Mining Congress Is Told Con-
tinuanCe of Its Use Ap-

Modern science dealing with fuel
assures continuance of coal as the chief
source Of industrial energy until some
revolutionary discovery makes obsolete
the physical theories of today. DR..
Thomas S. Baker, president of the
Carnegie Institute of Technology, told
the American Mining Congress at its
closing session today.
THE problem of the coal industry is
to find new uses, new outlets and new
employment for its commodity, and we
are beginning to see that science can
help in finding them" DIR. Baker said.
Even now, he declared, new industries
are being drawn to the coal fields which
were unheard of a generation ago.
New processing of coal will produce

POLICE PROBERS
TO WRITE REPORT

The board of inquiry seeking the spe-
ciflc reason for the July grand jury's
condemnation of Inspector William S.
Shelby and Lieut. Edward j. Kelly is
about ready to write its report to the
District Commissioners.
Decision of the Commissioners on
the demands of the deposed detective
chiefs that they be brought to trial
on the accusations hinges on findings
of the special board composed OF Maj.
D. A. Dawson, Assistant Engineer
Commissioner, and w. w. Bride cor
poration counsel
The board met today for more than
an hour in the Office of the corporation
counsel, but refused afterward to dis
close the nature of the discussion. A
policy OF strict secrecy is being fol-
lowed.
Maj. Dawson would say only that the
board soon will undertake the task of
putting its findings and recommends :
tions in writing. The tWo-man board
will meet again at the earliest oppor-
tunlty, he added Maj. Dawson must
divide his attention between the Shelby
Kelly matter and the inquest of the
McCrory explosion. The McCrory hear
ing took most of his time today.
The Assistant Engineer Commissioner
stated there is decision on lone point
still to be made before the actual for
mutation of report Is begun, but he
declined to throw further light on the
point of indecision.

ant postmaster, announced today. They
totaled $545, 5,321.31, an increase of
S51,2l8.07 over November year ago.
"A large part of this increase was
made up by third-claSS advertising
matter during the last part OF Novem-

were preparing to get of OH an earlier
start than usual on their Shop Early

The first three days of December, he

the volume of business handled at the
post Office compared with daily Novem-

POSTAL receipts are usually accepted
as a barometer of business conditions, "
