tried in Ireland, when in 1920 the Irish Horse Breeders, Owners’ and Trainers’ Association came into being. The venture failed, but with the present dispute between Irish race-meeting executives and the Stewards of the Irish Turf Club, it appears very probable that something similar will again be tried soon. Those who are antagonistic to the new experiment in England base their objections on the argument that the new organisation will undermine the authority of the Jockey Club. Those who favor the scheme naturally deny this. The Jockey Club is still too popular a body for the growing democracy of racing to attack it openly. Nevertheless, its autocratic control of the sport has for many years past been subject for criticism. It was in the first place a self-constituted body, which, in the early days, assumed command of racing when the sport was practically confined to members of the peerage and the more wealthy landed proprietors of England during the Regency. By popular vote, the Jockey Club has no right of authority. Many of its members are by no means the greatest racing patrons in the country. The trainer has quite altered his social standing. Even the bookmaker has grown to become “quite a gentleman.” These people are naturally anxious to possess some power in the sport in which they take so prominent a part. The reform of the Betting Tax is one of the excuses seized upon by the promoters of the movement. Prize money, race-meeting expenses, the power to authorise meetings and the power to warn offenders off the Turf, all these things will, no doubt, follow in due course. Those anxious to retain the Jockey Club in its present standing should fight this innovation firmly. In the opinion of those who favor it, and there are many points in its favor, the assertion that it will in no way affect the status of the old club sounds absurd.

Montevideo was sent back with a score of only 64, and, following on, did little better, 98 all out. Which Do You Prefer? "Beat ’em to it!" Or "Accuracy!" The hurry and rush of modern means of communication, business rivalry and personal vanity have done much during the last few years to kill old-fashioned journalism with its dignity, truthfulness and accuracy. The watchword of most modern newspapers is: “Beat ’em to it—get it in the paper whether it’s true or not. We can always deny it.” There is no place in these organizations for the editor who carefully sifts, compares, rejects and corrects every report that comes to his desk; who considers it his professional duty to place accuracy before speed.

The gain in Christmas business was not confined to New York City. It was general throughout the country, as a result of the prosperity of 1926. Many business firms in New York will have a further taste of 1926 prosperity if, as expected here, Congress passes without comment the report of Mr. Andrew W. Mellon, Secretary of the Treasury, calling for refund of $174,000,000 in income taxes collected illegally in 1926, thus benefiting 287,000 taxpayers. The proposed refund was deducted from Treasury estimates before the Budget for 1927 was proposed, and it does not affect the sum which President Coolidge and Mr. Mellon asked Congress to return to taxpayers as a rebate on income taxes payable in 1927. Among those entitled to receive immediate refunds if Congress approves Mr. Mellon’s report are Mr. John D. Rockefeller, $76,475; Mr. William Gibbs McAdoo, $7,711; the estate of Mrs. Florence Kling Harding, $1,276; Mrs. Mary Roberts Rhinehart, $1,292; Mr. Alfred Du Pont, $2,036,618; the F. J. Du Pont de

The freezing weather in many countries which came with the year-end holiday season of 1926 has raised again for Europe a problem first presented when the winter began. The sudden thaw which brought relief today has made that problem less acute for the moment. But it still persists, according to many authorities, and it is liable to become serious if bitter cold weather should return for any appreciable length of time. It is the problem of a possible dearth of fuel. Europe entered upon the winter season with a shortage of 100,000,000 tons of coal for immediate requirements.

RAILWAYS (FRANCE) 1, RUE SCRIBE (Opéra) PARIS THE TOPIC OF THE DAY The Coal Supply As a Problem for Europe. The freezing weather in many countries which came with the year-end holiday season of 1926 has raised again for Europe a problem first presented when the winter began. The sudden thaw which brought relief today has made that problem less acute for the moment. But it still persists, according to many authorities, and it is liable to become serious if bitter cold weather should return for any appreciable length of time. It is the problem of a possible dearth of fuel. Europe entered upon the winter season with a shortage of 100,000,000 tons of coal for immediate requirements. This is the estimate made by M. de Peyerimhoff, who is chairman of the central committee of the French coal industry. This grave situation naturally had its direct origin in the English coal-mining stoppage. The latter caused the disappearance of the reserve stocks usually possessed by English mines. Despite vigorous efforts, the French mines were unable to make up the difference by increasing the general output in Europe. This was although the mines of Lorraine, for example, raised their production from 41,000,000 tons to 52,000,000 tons, or more than 20 per cent. The first few days of the latest cold weather in Great Britain saw widespread suffering among the poorer classes of the population. Even at the higher prices resulting from the coal stoppage, thousands of them were unable to obtain the fuel they needed for heating purposes. At the same time, numerous branches of industry lacked the coal they required for resumed operations. In part, the blame for the situation has been given to the unsettled conditions of transportation growing out of the months-long conflict in the coal-mining industry. But the stocks on hand are admittedly well below the normal figure for this time of year. They are liable to remain so, even with the higher ratio of individual output now being attained in the British mines. At présent, the transit of foreign coal from British ports to the various parts
