4w " COAL IS EXPECTED 10 BOOM MOROCCD Discovery of Rich Deposits May Mean Vast Industrial Development. “Discovery by French engineers of large deposits of coal in Morocco may write that country’s name unexpected- ly large on the future industrial maps of the world,” says a bulletin from headquarters of the National Geo- graphic Society. “Africa has always been classed with South America as the poorest of the continents in coal deposits,” continues the bulletin, “and likelihood of consid- erable industrial development in the flelds dependent on fuel seemed limited to the neighborhood of the few small coal beds in Natal and Transvaal, South Africa. Nature Bountiful to Britain, “What coal means in the develop- ment of a country can best be under- stood perhaps by considering the case of Great Britain, but something of the importance of this fuel in the life of the entire modern world can be visual- ized easily enough by any American in sight of the trail of smoke left by & railway train or a steamship, or who can look upon a factory chimney or even a radiator. “Nature’s coal gifts to Great Britain were more bountiful than to any other European country: and it was in Scot- land and England that Europe first saw the utilization of these ‘black Tocks’ on a considerable scale, It is believed that the smiths of ancient ‘Greece used small quantities of coal in their forges, but later the fuel appar- ently dropped .from use. The Roman legions in England burned coal in their camp fires, but do not seem to have introduced the fuel into Rome. “For the next 500 years coal was hardly mentioned in the records; but | in 852 AD. it was being used as fuel in several British monasteries. The first charter to mine coal in Great Britain was issued in Scotland in 1239, and 30 years later the fuel was being shipped to London in steady though small quantities by the monks of Tyne- mouth. But the use of this fyel did not spread rapidly to the rest of Eu- rope. It was in 1295 that Marco Polo came back to Venice from China and astounded the Venetians witlf the as- sertion that the Chinese burned ‘black Yooks" Many Mines Opened. “Durlng the next few centuries the use of coal for household heating and cooking and by smiths and other small industrialists grew steadily in England and Scotland, and mine after mine was opened and worked in crude fashion. But it was not until after the inven- tion of the steam engine, in 1784, that coal mining became a great key indus- try. The effect of this new device was two-fold. On the one hand it made possible the pumping of water from the mines and the easy raising of coal to the surface from even the deepest workings. On the other hand it multi- plied the fires to be fed with coal and 80 greatly stimulated the demand for the fuel, not only in Great Britain, but all over Europe and in America and Australia. “Today. especially in the temperate gones, coal is the staff of life for in- «dustry and our particular type of civili- zation as truly as bread is the staff of our bodily. ilife.B Coal’s conmbutgmbu: transportation is apparent enough, but some of its other vital services are not 50 evident. As a matter of fact, noth- ing like our life in great cities could have developed under our climatic con- ditions_but for the warmth given by coal.

GRANGERS URGE RADIO CHANNELS Encroachments Charged in Resolution Under Con- sideration. An effort to direct the attention of the National Grange to conditions ex- isting in the radio field was made at today's business meeting of the annual session in the Willard Hotel by E. A. Eckert, Illinois member of the executive committee, who introduced a resolution demanding from the Federal Radio Board full protection of the limited number of radio channels specializing in farm programs. In offering the resolution Mr. Eckert declared that many of the agricultural colleges and stations carrying farm programs had experienced difficulty in maintaining clear channels. This diffi- culty, he alleged in the resolution, was chargeable to “an apparent tendency on the part of business concerns and groups having mainly urban interests to encroach upon and curtail the radio channels open to broadcasts for rural programs to the extent that farmers in many cases would have little but market reports remaining.” Full Protection Urged. ‘The resolution further called upon the National Grange to “go on record as deploring this tendency toward cur- tailment of farm programs,” and that it “demand full protection” of such radio channels specializing in farm pro- grams. The resolution was referred to the committee on agriculture, and will be thoroughly discussed, it was said, be- fore being submitted to the final vote of the grange body. Circumstances in- dicate, however, that it will be prompt- 1y adopted. In this event, a copy of the resolution would be forwarded to the Federal Radio Commission, and the Washington representatives of the Na- tional Grange would be instructed to use every effort to insure respect for the convention's viewpoint on behalf of the farmers. Presentation of the resolution was cabin, village and manor house days to maintain warmth in Winter by burning wood; but one can hardly imagine fhuge modern skyscrapers and theaters as well as city homes heated solely by wood, even if our forests could supply the mil- lions of cords of logs necessary. “So it is with light. Modern street 1ighting. and the lighting of office build- ings and dwellings could not be carried on but for gas or electricity, and both imply in most cases the burning of coal or a coal product. Coal Has Many Uses. *“Coal in large part makes the con- struction of our buildings possible. It ‘bakes bricks, burns lime and cement, and enters into the manufacture of steel. It melts glass and smelts copper; and its pitch waterproofs our cellars and covers our roofs. “The distillation of coal opened up a ‘whole new chemical world. Thousands of new chemical compounds have been built up from substances distilled out of a lump of coal—all the colors of ti spectrum to' embellish our clothes and iraperies 2nd ornaments; powerful ex- plosives; fertilizers; olls and fuels; a sweetener for our foods; a gas for our balloons, and invaluable substances for use by the sanitary engineer, the sur- geon and the physician. “What is coal? It is stored up sun- light. When we burn coal to heat our homes today we are in effect ‘uncork- nig’ the warmth of the sun that streamed down on our world a million or more years ago. The sunlight became “bottled’ as it does today by causing the growth of vegetation into woody fiber. According to the most widely accepted theory, this vegetable matter—the trunks, twigs, leaves and fruits of trees and smaller plants—fell into water and muck which preserved it from decay. Millions of Years Old. “Later the beds of vegetable ma- terial were covered by mud or sand and underwent chemical alteration under pressure, gradually changing to the substance we call coal. Under the micro- scope, the imprints of leaves and the existence of woody fiber can be found today in some specimens of coal. The type, or what is technically called the “rank’ of coal, depends on the amount of chemical change that has taken place. Peat is the beginning of coal; lignite or brown coal has progressed farther in the concentration of carbon; in soft coal the original vegetable matter has the most important matter before the regular business meeting this morning, which was held behind closed doors. L. J. Taber, master of the National Grange, presided. Endowment Fund Discussed. A report by a committee consisting of Jesse Newson, James C. Farm and George A. Palmiter was submitted in connection with their study of an en- dowment for the National Grange. Be- fore creating a suitable endowment fund to extend the work of the grange, the committee recommended that a careful study be made of the whole subject of endowments and particularly of their administration. Such a study, the committee reported, would reveal the fundamental principles upon which a successful and worthy endowment might be founded. Following the close of the business session, the voting delegates and_offi- cers were luncheon guests of the Mon- day Luncheon Club and the Farm he | Lands Club in the auditorium of the National Press Club. Sessions this afternoon were to be de- voted to national legislative matters on which a number of resolutions are pending. These will be reported by, the committee on legislation.

The retail drug act of Pennsylvania, forbidding any one but a registered pharmacist to own a drugstore and for- bidding corporations who already operate retail drugstores in the State from acquiring additional stores, is not a proper exercise of the police power and is unconstitutional as depriving corpora- tions of property without due process of law and equal protection of the laws. ‘This was the decision of the Supreme Court today in the case of Louis K. Liggett Co., against the attorney gen- eral and the board of pharmacy of Pennsylvania. Chief Justice Taft de- livered the opinion, to which Justice Holmes dissented. ‘The decision of the court reversing the United States District Court was based on the ground that there is no reasonable relation between the owner- ship of drug stores and public healih and safety. § ‘The State of Pennsylvania passed an act forbidding any one but a licensed pharmacist to own a drug store, or to be a partner or a stockholder in any firm owning a retail drug store, except that corporations which already owned drug stores may continue to operate the same, but may not acquire additional stores. The Liggett Co. owned 28 retail drug stores in Pennsylvania, and at the time of the passage of the act had made ar- rangements to open additional stores. It brought suit in the United States Dis- trict Court in Philadelphia to enjoin the enforcement of the law, contending that it is arbitrarily discriminatory and de- prives the oom}.mny of property without due process of law, and was passed sole- ly for the purpose of suppressing com- petition between the individually owned and the chain drug stores. ELEPHANT REMEMBERS. Ringling Animal, Back in Bridge- port, Goes to Old Quarters. BRIDGEPORT, Conn.—Proof of an elephant’s good memory was given here when Big Boy, a former member of Ringling Bros’, circus, arrived as leader of a trio performing at a Bridgeport theater. Big Boy several years ago lived at the old circus headquarters at Bridge- port. When the box car containing the elephant was opened at the railroad rds Big Boy promptly started off for the old Winter quarters, much to the mystification of his trainer, who was not acquainted with the animal during its circus days. rial service of the Grange, however, was held at the Willard Hotel last night in charge of National Chaplain W.

The other founders buried here are William Saunders, J. R. Thompson and Matthew Trimble. changed still more; while in anthracite, coal of the highest ‘rank’ has been reached. “The true coal that the world uses today was laid down probably millions of years ago. It was formerly believed that the vegetable matter accumulated as a result of rank growth in a hot, steamy climate. More recently the view has been advanced that climatic con- ditions during the deposit of coal ma- terfals were only a little milder than at present. This mild climate was prob- ably world wide, as the presence of large coal beds in the polar regions seems to indicate. Coal ‘materials are accumulating today in every peat bog and in many swamps. Many of the peat bogs are in relatively high latitudes. “In total known coal deposits the United States leads all the world. It is probable, in fact, that this country has more than half of the world’s coal. 1t also leads all other countries in the amounts mined and consumed annually. China ranks next in coal supplies, but her vast stores of potential energy have not yet been utilized to any great extent. ‘Great Britain has large supplies of coal, especially in relation to her area. “One important economic factor that has served to give Great Britain an almost unbreakable hold on the overseas coal trade is that her mines lie within & few miles of salt water. Another factor is that Great Britain’s exports are chiefly of relatively light manu- factured goods, which makes it profit- able for the same ships to carry coal as ballast. On return trips the ships carry relatively heavy raw materials. As a result Great Britain has long held the coal trade of the coasts of the Baltic, France, Spain and many of the Mediterranean countries, and also sup- plies much of the coal imported into Soul America,” ", NEW COAST éUARD SHIP TO DOCK AT NAVY YARD Chelan, Largest of Fleet, Will Be Here for Visit Lasting a Week.

SEVENTIETH YEAR OF REIGN ATTAINED Liechenstein Ruler Ascended to Throne Before Lincoin Was Inaugurated. Little Liechtenstein hails Good Prince Johann II as he attains the seventieth year of his reign. If he lives two years more he will equal the phenomenal record of Louis XIV. of France. Johann was crowned Prince of Liechtenstein the year Queen Victoria was proclaimed Empress of India and Minnesota was admitted to the Union. The Dred Scott decision was a fresh political issue. Abraham Lincoln was still a lawyer in Springfield, Ill. “Seventy years that have seen the transformation of the world have wit- nessed relatively little change in the principality of Liechtenstein, tucked away between Switzerland and Austria in a mountain valley near the source of the Rhine,” says a bulletin from the National Geographic Society. Too Late to Fight. “The standing army of 80 men hur- ried off in 1866 to the Austro-Prussian War, but got to the front too late to fight. An army that can’t find a battle ought to hunt other work, Prince Johann decided. He ordered his in- fantry to turn in their equipment. The muskets and leather helmets of the late Liechtenstein army can be seen today in the royal Chateau Museum. Demobilization was probably the Prince’s first important reform. “Of course electricity has come to Liechtenstein. The Rhine, rushing along the national border, gives up its en- ergy to light the towns, operate tele- phones and run the elevator, which has been built into the massive walls of the ancient Burg Vaduz fortress-palace. Prlrr\c;. Johann, at 88, finds an elevator useful. “Movies” Once a Week. “When weekly movies first flickered at Vaduz, all Liechtenstein rocked with the news. The coming of a spinning mill to the capital and of a cotton weaving factory to Triesen could be considered equivalent to the rise of steel at Pittsburgh and of automobiles at Detroit. Yet dairying with mild-eyed Swiss cattle remains the basic industry. Liechtensteiners are farmers even unto many generations. “Prince Johann, crossing from one side of his tower room to the other, can look upon the most of his Graus- tarkian domain. Sixty-two square miles is Liechtenstein; eight square miles less than the District of Columbia. The comparison does not complete the pic: ture. Washington’s miles are reason- ably square; Liechtenstein’s tend toward cubes. A dozen peaks in this minia- ture kingdom tower more than a mile in the sky. Liechtenstein is 5 miles wide, 20 miles long and 1 mile high. Chateau Towers Over Capitol. “The royal chateau caps a crag aBove Vaduz, the capital, much like Monti- cello commands a hill above Charlottes- ville, Va. A single misstep and Prince Johann would tumble in upon his gov- ernment! The Regierung, or capitol building, stands directly under the prec- ipice which the chateau surmounts. “It is truly said that no visitor can remain a stranger within the gates of neighborly Liechtenstein. ‘Sgott’ is the password of greeting offered without introduction. The village barber knows the nationality, business and marital state of every one who stays overnight. An American who visited the princi- pality tells that while watching the weekly movie at the inn he distinctly heard a voice in’'the dark say, ‘He has had a hot bath at the hotel every night since he came.’ “Absentee monarchy best describes Liechtenstein’s government. Prince Johann rules his 11,000 subjects from Vienna most of the year. The system works well. Trust of his people has been repaired with a ffection and obedi- ence. By wiping out the public debt and keeping the Liechtenstein budget down to $7 per person, he merits the generous honor of the title, Johann the Good. “Liechtenstein is today the only Ger- man state which is still a monarchy.” GROUP OF YOUNG PEOPLE TO AID IN CELEBRATION Silver Jubilee of Rabbi Silverstone of Tiferis Israel Temple to Be Elaborately Observed.

By the Assoclated Press. Part of the setting for many of the world’s most dramatic true stories of romance and adventure, “Robinson Crusoe’s Island,” Juan Fernandez, also has proved to be one of the happiest hunting grounds of science. Although it is only about 370 miles west of Valparaiso, Chile, its flora and fauna bear little resemblance to those of the n-ighboring New World continent, but are related in the main to species which are found only in such distant places as New Zealand, Aus- tralia and South America. Some, in- deed, are the flourishing survivals of a past geological era which have perished in t|k)lnu:tlcauy all other parts of the earth. Evidence Supports Theory. The theory is that this island, in some remote period before the present rigorous climatic conditions began to develop on the Antarctic continent, was {part of a more or less continuous reach of land which probably stretched across the South Pole and included those dis- tant Old World regions to which it is most_closely related in plant and ani- mal life. New evidence in support of this theory, which heret fore has rested largely on botanical studies, has been brought back to Washington by Dr. Waldo L. Schmitt of the Smithsoman Institution, one of the most recent sclentific visitors to the island, in the form of a crab and a spider which builds its nest in the safety of rocks that are periodically submerged by the tides of the sea. As curator of the division of marine invertebrates .of the National Museum, Dr. Schmitt was drawn to Juan Per- nandez to collect rare specimens in his field of science and to investigate the remarkable lobster industry there, which supports a population of nearly 300 and provides annually thousands of huge crustaceans 2 and 3 feet long that de- light the epicures of Valparaiso and Santiago. Apparently Rare Specimen. ‘The crab he found apparently has become rare on the island, and he ob- tained only one complete specimen. It has no relatives on the South Ameri- can continevt, but is familiar on the shores of New Zealand. The spider was caught by accident while he was hunting shrimp along a rocky shore at low tide. Picking up a piece of rock which contained a hole, suggesting that it might hold a prize for his collection of marine inverte- brates, he cracked it open, and the creature fled from its webbed nest in- side. Disappointed over finding no shrimp, he captured the spider instead. Bringing it home, he learned that he had discovered a species rare to this side of the world, of a genus never be- fore found except in South Africa, New Zealand and Australia, where such ma- rine creatures are more common. Its nest, he recalls, was woven in a rock which was probably submerged a foot under water at high tide and was rurely, if ever, dre The island, where Alexander Selkirk’s self-imposed exile of four years, from 1704 to 1708, provided Daniel Defoe with most of the ideas for his master- picce, “Robinson Crusoe,” is described by Dr. Schmitt as one of the most charming places, in climate and natural beauties, he has ever visited. Its his- torical assoclations are prominently in- terwoven with the exploits of the early navigators and circumnavieators and with many great wars, including the latest, for it was there that the German cruiser Dresden sought refuge and was finally sunk after the Falkland Islands battle in December, 1914. Its naval importance was once regarded as so great that, at the time of the negotia- tion of the treaty of Ultrecht in 1712, the English Parliament actually con- sidered substituting it for Gibraltar, and a fourth of the membership voted in favor of the plan.

PARI STUDENT LIE BECNE HODERN Bohemian Atmosphere Out of Fashion, With Comfort as Goal. By the Associated Press. PARIS, November 19.—Bohemian stu- dent life is out of fashion in Paris. So are bad beds and cold study rooms as an aid to concentration. Modern Parisian educators favor com- fort and convenience, with adequate supervision of diet, rest and recreation. Young woman students, comparative newcomers in the Parisian student scheme, are even provided with suitable chaperons in some circles. The latest step toward student pro- tection is the dedication of a hostel with accommodations for 120 women in the far-famed Boulevard St. Michel, lovingly called the Boul' Mich' in other less supervised student times. The new hostel is the gift of an American wom- an, Mrs. Whitney-Hoff, philanthropist, whose gifts to artists and students are well known in Europe. Students from more than 20 nations are housed in the new Boulevard St. Michel retreat. Twenty-five of the young women are French, 25 are Brit- ish or American, and the remaining 70 come from various countries. Life in the hostel is more sheltered even than in the modern Cite Universitaire, in- ternational model student center just outside the Porte d'Orleans. Despite the desires of French educa- tors, not all students here have modern Some are lodged in houses of years old with narrow win- dows which look into streets and court- yards of medieval origin. Such ac- commodations sheltered the self-reliant students who came to Paris from Genoa, Warsaw, Vienna and Utrecht in the middle ages to soak up wisdom from teaching philosophers like Robert Sor- bon, from whom the Sorbonne takes its name. Many of the modern students have to obtain water from outdoor pumps, and bathtubs are unknown luxuries. The other extreme of student ex- istence is the clubs sometimes formed by wealthy students, usually foreigners, who take modern furnished apartments and share expenses of maintaining them. Most of the clubs are located in Montparnasse, Latin quarter center f(in' foreign artists, writers and musi- clans, Jade of Al Colors. A great collection of jade was shown in this country not long ago and many visitors were surprised to find that very little of it was green, whereas many expressed the thbught that all jade was green. As a matter of fact, jade exists in every color of the spec- trum—deep red, amethyst, pure white, amber colored and jet black. The most highly prized is the pure white, a wonderful semi-translucent, glowing white. The yellow jade is pecu- liarly the royal color. Most of the red jade now procurable is red only by accident.
