BOSTON Lignite Admitted Free of Duty | In accordance with a decision of the U. S. Customs bureau, made public April 14, the collector of customs} at Pembina, N. D., will hereafter admit lignite coals from} Canada duty free. This refers only to lignite in its raw/ state, but briquets of that material are held dutiable at) 30 per cent ad valorem. | ‘Only the cruder coals coming under the head of lignite! may be admitted free under this ruling. The customs) bureau calls attention to the fact that lignite, which is @ subbituminous fuel, is not to be confused with semi- bituminous coal. In order to make the distinction clear, the Customs Bureau secured the following information! trom the Geological Survey of the Interior department: “The term semibituminous is generally applied to coals having a very low volatile content and which are valued highly as steaming coals. Their low volatile content makes it possible to burn them with very little smoke, and consequently they are known in the trade as ‘low volatile’ or ‘smokeless’ coals. * * * These coals are dif- ferent from the subbituminous and lignite coals of the West. In fact, they are almost at oppo- site extremities of coal classes. * * *” ‘The department of mines and mining experiments at} the University of North Dakota has made a number of tests of lignite and other Canadian coal, and the analy- ses made, or to be made, by this department will de- termine which of the Canadian varieties of coal may be admitted free of duty. The director of mines has heen quoted as saying that Canadian coals range in classifica- tion all the way from lignite through subbituminous and bituminous to semibituminovs, and that the fuels of Al- berta alone cover this whole range.

We are fired with zeal to do our share for republication of all news dispatches credited to it or| j hibition at the Architectural and Allied Arts Exposition, Written by Request Frequently @ newspaper is asked to give editorial en- | dorsement to @ suggestion or movement on the ground that it is in the public interest. Sometimes the request is granted. At other times the public interest seems to be too far in the background and no editorial is written. A few days ago a local businessman asked if we wouldn’t write an editorial for his benefit and the benefit of others similarly situated. His complaint was that he tries to keep his lawn and boulevard free from dandelions but that his neighbors are not fired with a similar ardor and detract from the attractiveness of the neighborhood and keep him more constantly at work than otherwise would be the case. It seems to us there is justice in the complaint in most instances. There are dandelions in our own lawn and we, like most other persons, intend to take them out. We admire the industry of those who strive to eliminate these insistent pests and we hope to follow their exam- ple. Men whose lawns are free from dandelions tell us that the job isn’t really difficult and that the work is because we realize that well-kept lawns and boulevards contribute to the attractiveness of the city of which all of us are proud. Had it been our neighbor who made the suggestion we would have wondered if his remark were not a friendly dig in the ribs. But the gentleman lives blocks away from us and so we can view the matter without personal bias. We concede that he is right. All others who agree with the justice of his complaint should translate that agreement into deeds, if possible. Glass Houses If a law is passed in the near future restraining people from throwing stones, you'll simply have to blame the architects. It's all because they have begun to agitate for glass houses. In New York one such model was placed on ex- and it was promptly hailed as the “future American) home.” In California, one Richard J. Neutra, Viennese architect, has actually demonstrated the practicability WELL, I'M NOT GETTING ANY (ISOLATION.

The most attractive feature of the idea is that the house can be built and equipped for $4,000.

Certainly the in-| discriminate spreading of poisons is not a proper way, to reduce the canine population. And then, too, it is against the law to spread poison for dogs. i Panama Changes If the shades of the old-time sea rovers and adven- turers ever see the American newspapers, they must have been extremely interested by a brief little item from Panama City that appeared the other day, This item said that the government of Panama has signed a con- tract with a Mexican promoter to convert the ancient city of Old Panama into a tourist resort. mirth at the mere suggestion that the town could ever) be a haven for the tourist. ~ However, there it is, the black and white. Panama City is to be a tourist resort. The city that was once considered the world’s pest hole is to offer gay hotels, casinos, gambling halls and all the rest of the establish- ments by which care-free travelers are induced to get off of their ships and stay a while. Obviously, the world has been changing. Man's knowl- edge of his environment and of the forces that operate in it has progressed so far that the killing of mosqui- toes has turned the yellow fever capital into a place where tourists can stroll about at ease and say, “How quaint!” But what @ lot of things had to happen before that change could be made! The number and scope of them are @ fair measure of the progress of the race in the last three centuries. Before Panama could become a health resort there had, first of all, to be huge political changes. The intermit- tent warfare of two and three centuries ago had to end, piracy had to be abolished and governments had to be stabilized. Indeed, as far as that goes, the general prosperity of the average citizen had to be raised materially. There were no tourists when Panama was in its heyday; hardly ‘anybody could afford to travel except on business. Last and most important of all, yellow fever had to be wiped out; and before that could be done, the science of medicine had to advance immeasurably from what it ‘was in the days of Drake and Morgan. The whole science of public health had to come into existence. rom there it is.
