have been available for export a
total Of 1000, 900 tons in April. Ac-
cording to the latest figures our
shipment for last month were
some 800, 900 to 1000 tons. And
even If we had sent the full amount
scheduled there would still be a
deficiency Of coal in Europe.
OF course, the export Of coal from
the United States will not solve
Europe's needs permanently. have
pointed this out on other occasions.
Unfortunately, production in Great
Britain has fallen off to the point
where that country has no coal to
ship across the Channel. 1t can
not even supply its own needs.
AS to coal, Great Britain is in a
twilight zone. She hopes that
larger supplies will become avail
able when the mines have been COM
pletely nationalized and get into
full operation under the program
of the present British cabinet. In
the meantime America, which has
plenty of coal and greater ability
since the end of the war to get it
out of the ground, should do every
thing possible to make up the de-
ficiency in Europe. Even at the
best we cannot do enough. but in
view Of the creeping starvation that
afflicts large areas of Europe we
ought to do everything that we can.

that without them coal could not be

average person consume in year?
p. r. A.
A. Estimated per capita consump-
ton was 10.7 pounds in 1945. Be-
lore the war, consumption per per-

1884 and lS.5 pounds in 1926.
Q. What is fiscal year?-K. RE.

A. The War Department says
that it is entirely possible to operate
all but the heaviest bombers and
transport planes without the aid
OF a co-pilot. A successful mission
has been flown through 300 miles

@. Who was the first man to
shave?-J. M. j.
A. No one knows. The custom of
shaving can be traced back to
antiquity. The Egyptians COM
monty shaved except when in
mourning. In Greece, Alexander
the Great ordered his soldiers to
shave off their boards so that their
enemies might not seize them by
them. The custom was introduced
into Rome about the same time.
In Europe, razors were used in
France, Spain and In England be-
fore the 18th century.

accused him crudely of playing
politics-something of course of
which Mr.. Lewis never would be
guilty. So far as Mr.. Lewis is
concerned, those who fought by
our side in the war may starve while
he flouts a Federal administration
which is too meek for it's own good.
In more senses than one, coal is
food. 1t provides thA transporta-
ton without which food may not be
delivered from ports of entry to in
terror points. 1t constitutes the en-
ergy needed to process food foI
human consumption. 1t keeps peo-
Pile warm in their homes so that
less resistance to cold or damp

exaggeration in saying that, in sup

ness a man who is afraid of horses
has naming a Derby winner, let me
tell you this:
There is such a thing as being
too close to horses. You get so you
can't see the winner for the trees
Pat a horse three times and you
begin to believe he is better than
he is. Let him nuzzle sugar from
your hand, and you picture him
running mile in minute fiat.
No, the thing to do is to hold aloof
from horses. Look at them with a
cold, calculating eye that ignores
their personalities and takes into
consideration only such things as
conformation, blood lines, and their
eagerness to get their names in
headlines in papers to which they
do not subscribe and which they
undoubtedly couldn't read If they
did.

This was the approach used in
selecting the Derby winner. No SEN
timent whatsoever. I like to think
that DR.. Einstein, were he called
upon to name Derby winner. would
use the same method as 1-cold

Before I name the winner let
me ask you to do me one favor.
Please don't bet on the horse. I'll
tell you why. He is such sure
thing, such a certain victor, that 1t
would brand you as a poor sport.
Good sports like to take a chance.
Only poor sports risk their money

is made up of dead game sports.
The fact that they read my column

from relaxed price controls.
Things About as They Were.
Obviously these reports leave
things about where they were. De-
spite the claims that have been
made, no overwhelming sentiment
for or against the OPA appears 10
exist. Or. if it does, it is not mill
tant enough to change votes. This
is disappointment to the admin
istration forces which have been
counting upon popular manifesto
ton sufficient to insure restoration
of the health of the bill in the
Senate, and finally to achieve
satisfactory result from the con-
ference committee.
In brief, those who believe an
effective OPA act essential to pre-
vent imitation are somewhat dis
couraged Perhaps the sentiment
for which they hoped will develop
later. But, at the moment, it is
soggy, indeed. Two explanations of
this are presented. One is that,
despite the propaganda and bally-
hoo on both sides, the people as q
whole nave no real understanding
of the issues involved in this fight
and are not intensely concerned,
though they should be. This is not
true of them all but, quite clearly,
it is true of the majority, notwith-
standing the assertion of Mr.. Ches-
ter BoWles that there is a public
revolt" against the House amend
ments.
The second explanation is that
each side has so exaggerated its ar
guments and been SO dire and We
hement in it's predictions as to null
lily each other and leave the So
called public mind in sad state
of confusion. This is bad for the
country generally. 1t seems to mean
that the ultimate outcome will be
pretty poor; that there is no chance
of an adoption of common sense
and sound principles in this effort
to avert ruinous imitation; that clear
thinking and solid facts will con-
tinue to be ignored
One Thing Held Sure.
The one thing of which we may
be sure is that, whichever side tri-
umphs in the present battle, prices
all along the line will continue to
rise. There isn't any way to prevent
that now. Mr.. Chester Bowles in
s;sts (and probably he is right that
