COAL SETS RECORD

Another all-time worlds record
production of bituminous coal was
made in 1914, between 620,000,000
and 625, 100000 tons-3O, 100000 to
100000 tons more than was min
ed in 1943, the Bituminous Coal III
stitute has announced. This is the
third consecutive year the industry
surpassed it's previous record high,
made in World War l.
Such unprecedented tonnage, at
tanned witk about 100000 fewer
workers than in 1918 is attributable
largely to the extensive mechanical
ton of the mines. The industry has
spent upwards of $40O,00O,000 for
coal-cutting and handling equipment
in the past 20 years The man output
per day in bituminous mines has been
raised from an average of 81 tons
during the last war to more than Il
tons in 1914. This compares with
slightly more than l ton per man per
day in England, and little over 2
tons in Canada.
In 1914, more than 80 percent of
all bituminous coal was cut by ma
chimes; approximately 20 per cent OF
the holes for blasting the coal were
power drilled; and about As per cent
of it was mechanically loaded
Every month since April, 1914,
has seen a substantial increase in the
stockpiles held by industrial users
and retail dealers until, at TIE years
end, it is estimated that they will
equal those of year ago, approx
mately 100000 tons.
The bituminous coal industry en-
tered 1945 fully prepared and equip
ped to meet all anticipated demands
upon it. The foregoing shows how
one industry has met the challenge
of war.

CUTTING PULPWOOD RIDS
WOODS OF INFERIOR TREES

The present urgent need for pulp
wood gives Maryland farmers an op-
portunity to clear their woodlands of
poor, inferior trees. This work can be
done in spare moments, and not only
serves to give the woods a necessary
thinning, but helps the war produce
ion program, as well.
Pulpwood is critical item in par
production, Harry w. Dengler, Ex-
Yension forestryman at the University
of Maryland, calls attention to the
fact that reports of the War Food Ad-
minisration show total receipts at
pulp mills in the Appalachian region,
during the past October, were 20 per
cent below those for October a year
before. The 1916 requirements for
military and essential civilian items
produced by the pulp and paper in
dustry cannot be fulfilled unless in
creased quantities of pulpwood are
produced and delivered to the mills
in the desired species and sepciflca-
tions.
For the assistance of Maryland
farmers interested in cutting pulp
wood, Dengler has list of companies
that will purchase pulpwood in Mary
land. The list also includes names Of
dealers in equipment of value to pulp
wood producers, such as power chain
saws and Swedish pulpwood saws.
Also available are leaflets dealing
with the following subjects: DOS
and Don't's for the Pulpwood Cut
ter" Tools Used In Peeling Pulp
wood" 1.-THE Refitting and Care of
Bow and Cross Cut Saws" "Hints on
Use of Saws, Wedges, and Other
Woods Tools" Hints on Selecting
and Sharpening an Axe" and Saws
Used in Cutting Pulpwood." Copies
of this material may be obtained by
writing to Dengler at the University
of Maryland, College Park.

FROM THE EARTH TO YOU

How gasoline and lubricating oil
come from the raw product, petrole-
UNI, has never ceased to be cause
of wonderment to the motorist. Since
the war, discussion of oil has increas-
ed and the curiosity of most of us is
even greater.
In response to this rising interest,
the Petroleum Industry War Council
has published what it calls flow
chart" which traces oil from the
time it leaves the we'll until it reach
es the consumer. 1t shows the oil be-
ing pumped to the surface OF the
earth. It follows it through scores OF
machines and chemical processes that
break crude petroleum into countless
derivatives forming bases for every
thing from cosmetics to asphalt. In
it's simplest form the process of pc
troleum refining consists of heating
the crude oil in a still to its boiling
point, passing the vapors from the
boiling oil through condensing pipes
and condensing the vapors into IL
Guilds. Every 100 gallons of crude oil
yields approximately "A gallons OF
gasoline, SO gallons of fuel oils,
gallons of miscellaneous products,
gallons of kerosene, and 3 gallons OF
lubricants. The remaining 3 gallons
is loss.
One of the most dramatic tales o.
this tragic era of war will be the
story of the production and transpor
tation Of oil to our fighting forces, t.
say nothing of the home front. 1t will
be a story of hundreds of ships, end
less miles of pipeline, thousands o
railroad tank cars running night ant
day. 1t will be story of sweating
worried men, laboring in desert sand
and teeming Offices. 1t will be stor.
in which the word defeat is unknown
1t will be a story toward which thi
country will always be able to poin
with pride. 1t will be story o
American enterprise.

Lame Duck Congress

A "lame duck congress" was a
session in which congressman, or
lame ducks who were defeated for
reelection, continued to participate
as members of congress because
formerly the newly elected congress
would not convene until Is months
after election, that is, in December
year and month following the
November elections. The Goth
amendment to the Constitution abol-
ished Lame duck congresses" pro-
vidins, among other things, for con-
gress to convene each January 3
after the November elections. This
abolishes the short session of con-
gress which formerly began on the
first Monday in December. At pres
ent the term sometimes is applied
to members now in congress who
were defeated for reelection on No
vember z.
It is believed the expression drift
ed into our vocabulary by way Of
the English stock market where a
"lame duck" was a bankrupt broker
who either could not or would not
pay his losses and such defaulters
were said to be forced to "waddle
out of the alley like a lame duck. I"
The name probably originated in
Macaulay's "Mirabeau" wherein he
said, Frauds of which a lame duck
on the stock exchange would be
ashamed ="

MUZZLED TELEPHONES
By j. Il. Jones

Washington, d. c., January %
The Rural Telephone Administration
is leading the telephone industry
around by the nose in planning to
make hundreds of millions of dollars
of public funds available for new
pole lines to accommodate wires to
connect with rural families so they
can have telephones. Just as though
A. T. and T. didn't have plenty of
money for every purpose.
The telephone monopoly gives the
best service of all organizations, far
superior to the postal system. 1t is
doubtful whether any of the existing
restrictions on telephones are neces-
sary. But there Is a lot of CONVERSE
ion used up in advising people when
and how long to use the telephone.
In World War l the Government
cook over the telephone system and
set the monopoly back so far that 1t
hasn't stood up straight since. At
that time telephone executives prac-
ically scrapped their independence.

BETTER USE OF FARM LAND

In a discussion of postwar agri-
cultural policies, Alvin T. M. Lee OF
the U. S. Department of Agriculture
raises the question as to whether il
would not be more desirable to i'm
prove production on existing farms
rather than to open many new farms.
Tracing recent improvements in land
management and in crop varieties, he
says that use of hybrid seeds and
new crop varieties on the one hand
and wider utilization of lime and fer
tilizers on the other hand, Lave re-
suited in large increases in yields
of certain crops. Improved produc-
ton techniques and management
bring results.

ESSENTIAL" AND CRITICAL"
DRAFT GUIDES

The guides set up by the War Man
power Commission for Selective Ser
vice in inducing men in the 26
through 20 age group make nice
difference between the essential"
industrial employment and that
which is critical" to the war produc-
ton program Most smaller commun-
tiles excepting mining and special
ICED manufacturing towns) which
are closely related to their agricul-
tural areas, will find that most of
the men in the affected age group
fall in the category of essential"
employment when they work in such
fields as the following:
Agricultural Services
Commercial poultry hatcheries ),
seed processing, animal breeding,
crop disease protection services, mi
tial processing services of compress
ing, threshing, cleaning, Smelling,
curing and TIE like, irrigation ser
vices. farm repair, and maintenance
services, farm product assembly SER
vices, custom grist milling and ice
harvesting. No critical" employment
is listed under the VINO guide for
agricultural service. The production
of packaging materials for shipping
and preserving essential products Is
also listed as an essential class Of
employment
In the category of critical" en-
ployment as it may affect the draft
status of citizens of non-industrial
smaller towns, is listed such work as
the repair of automobiles, busses,
trucks, tractors and farm equipment
However, 1t is intended that in the
category of repair services considera-
ton be given only to individuals
qualified to render all-rownd repair
services on the types of equipment in
Guided in the essential list. Types of
repair service other than the above
are deemed essential"
In the field of health and welfare
services the critical classification is
applid to physicians, surgeons, den
lists, oculists, osteopaths, sanitary
engineers, veterinarians engaged in
| farm live stock treatment, medical,
dental and optical laboratories, phar-
maceutical services, hospitals, nurs-
| ing services, and institutional care.
Into the essential class go mortu-
airy services, auxiliary civilian vel
fare services to the armed forces
welfare services to civilians, church
activities, accident and fire proven
ton services and structural pest con-
troll services. Only educational SER
vice considered critical is TIE United
States Maritime Service Training
Program; most others are listed as
essential services.
In the forestry and numbering
fields the only critical classifications
are those of timber tracts and logging
camps, cutting of pulpwood, wood fol
tanning extract, sawmills, veneer
and planning and plywood mills.
Substantially, the guide system sci
up by VINO, which is in accordance
with the directive to Selective Ser
vice by the Director of War Mobili
cation and Reconversion, James f
Byrnes, rejects the intensified de
nlands on American resources of mer
