BRYDON The bituminous branch of the coal industry, on which the United States Coal Commiasion is to report in the autumn, has meanwhile taken definite steps along the line of self organization to serve the public in emergencies. John C. Brydon, who as chairman of the special committee appointed to cooperate with the President’s commission has been in close touch with the internal affaira of the in- dustry and with outside reactions, was unanimously elected president of the National Coal Association at that body’s convention during the latter part of June. Mr. Brydon has advanced a plan for “minute man” organization of the 9,000 independent bituminous operators, making the entire soft coal Soply of the nation instantly available in any crisis of peace or war. His suggestions, requiring only an enabling act of Congress to empower the President to declare an emergency and draft coal resources, were formulated in advance of sim- ilar recommendations by the coal commission, affecting the anthra- cite branch of the industry. “A committee from this body,” Mr. Brydon told the men who elect- ed him thcir leader, “1 consult ) ments. with the War and Navy Depart- ments concerning their possible emergency needs and also with the Interior and Commerce Depart- We should hold ourselves responsive to requests from any of the departments. 4 “This plan should include the per- sonnel, so that when an emergency does arise they may go individually and collectively to their pre-ar- ranged posts and begin to function. This rsonnel may be changed from time to time as circumstances demand, but Lop acny can always be, and should always be provided. This plan should so compre- hensive that it would not only apply to the central organization at Gov- ernment headquarters but to the re- motest coal-producing districts in the United States. Such a plan, when worked out to the last detail, with the informal approval of the Government and transportation, would need only an act of Congress to legalize it at the time the emer- ney arises. Once accepted by the vernment, it would rival any hac vious unsolicited effort of an indus- try to serve the nation unselfishly and be a virtual guarantee of reg- ular soft coal supply at fair prices to the public in pd ill y plication and filing the same with the clerk or judge of said court, within ten days after ‘its| refusal by such superintendent, | for which no fee to exeeed the sum of $1 shall be charged, and | the decision of the probate court | shall be final.

The -expression “Blue Stocking” {s applied, sometimes a trifle scornfully, to a woman who Is unusyally learned. The term originated in Venice when in 1400 a society was formed of ladies and gentlemen calling themselves “della calza’—all the members of the society being distinguished by the wearing of blue stockings. The idea was taken up in Paris and became the rage among the lady savants of that eity. From France it came to England in 1780 when Mrs. Montague displayed the badge of the Bas-bleu club at her assemblies. Mr. Stillingfleet, a con- stant attendant of the solrees, went by the name of Blue-Stockings. Boswell in his life of Dr. Samuel Johnson tells something of the first of the blue stockings in England, and although he writes as if the club had originated in England instead of Venice, his ac- count is interesting. He says: “One of the most eminent members of those societies, when they first commenced was Mr. Stillingfleet, whose dress was remarkably grave and in particular It was observed that he wore blue stock- ings. Such was the excellence of his conversation that his absence was felt as so great a loss that it used to be said: “We can do nothing without the ‘blue stockings,’ and thus by de grees the title was established.” Bos- well concludes by saying that “Doctor Johnson was prevailed with to come sometimes into these circles, and did not think himself too grave even for the lively Miss Moncton (a prominent | member of the society).” FEW WALK IN STRAIGHT LINE Physical Imperfections Cause Pedes- trians to Take a Zigzag Course in Thelr Journeyings, . How do you walk? Do you proceed in a straight Ine or zigzag from side to side? If you watch a number of pedes- trians you will find that nine out of | ten bear to the right, return to their | proper course, and then start swerving to the right again. This is because our right leg Is more fully developed and stronger than our left. A left-handed person usually swerves to the left in walk- ing, for in his case the left side is the more powerful. If a man is slightly deaf in his left ear he will swerve to the left. If his other ear is affected he will go in the opposite direction, This is because the deaf stoop slightly on the side on which they can hear least. Short-sighted people will swerve to the side on which they have their worst eye. Even people who are per- fectly well physically and whose bodies are evenly developed zigzag in their walk, This is because thelr thoughts wander and their legs have not suf- ficient guidance. « Hatred. This is no place for preachments, but we just heard a girl say of an- other: “I hate her su it makes me sick!” ‘That's about all hatred will do for you, dearie; and it won't even touch the object of your hutred. There’s nothing that makes a girl uglier than hatred. If for no other reason, you might consider your good looks, and, if you can’t like a person, at least gave yourself by just forgetting that she exists. I'm writing this so I can clip it out and mall it to you, Little Lady; and maybe some other girls who hate peo- ple until it makes them sick will think | it over, as you: will when the ugly | lines of hatred turn all your friends | distrustful — Richmond Times-Dis- patch.

Work Under Difficulties. Workmen are carrying out repairs to the masonry at the very summit of Big Ben, the great Westminster clock tower in London, which is more than 800 feet high. A large Tudor rose re- cently fell from the highest point of the spire, and to reach the spot it was necessary to erect a scaffold 100 feet above the highest gallery. It was then found that five other roses were loose, and these have been taken down, re- paired and refixed. When there is a strong wind the work has to be sus- vended.
