CHRISTMAS IS COMING Christmas will be -here, four wecks igfom today. It is time then to think lof many things. As the Walrus said o the Carpenter, “Of ships, and ho and sealing-wax, and cabbages nd. kings.” Yet more especially guld we call attention to the fact Hat Christmas this year is going to [be 2 lonely time for many American soldlers, our boys. It takes anywhere from twenty-five to thirty days to get a letter across the seas, and eafely on French soil. |Now then is the time for Christmas letters, and Christmas packages to be sent. There will be a great influx of these things in the mails of Uncle Sam, and his clerks will be working overtime in order to get this good cheer off to the boys abroad. It is iwell therefore that we alleviate con- ditions somewhat and ‘get out such |packages and letters today,—now. Four weeks will go by before we know they have gone. Time flies in Just such a manner. Christmas will business hopes to turn over his capi- tal many, many times. Even '‘men with the smallest coal yards are en- | abled to do this. Surely one with a | reputation, one that has a standing in the community and who possesses the trust of the jobbers can make | the initial investment go a long way. As to the suggestion of cheating the railroads out of freight charges, and | the Government out of war taxes, | those two items, not the methods sug- gested, were mentioned in these columns separate and distinet treatment having no connection what- soever with the cost of coal at the in To get the coal dealers to agree with the facts Is almost as hopeless ! with coal when the door is closed. | 1t requires no special “knowledge to | know that the figures given out by | some of the men in the coal business, the figures which purport to present th» true cost of doing business, are too high. Granted they are not too high, we merely ask this question: Why were they not presented to the local coal committee when the public hearings on the case were in order? That committee was not charged with the duty of lowering coal prices in New Britain. It could have made the prices for coal even higher than they were last month if the facts warranted such action. Seemingly, the coal deal- ers did not have the facts to present. Otherwise we would now be paying more for coal. As to our mathematical proclivities, we cannot forego the presenting this: “It seems”, says Mr. Johnson, using the old method of personal abuse rather than confining himself to the subject at hand, “that you are not very good at figures. We got in New Britain very good evening schools, a few months spent there would do you a lot of good”. We might add, too, that there are some excellent day schools here, each of which offers an attractive curri- culum. By combining classes in these schools and selecting such courses as would keep an attentive and retentive mind busy night and day many things might be learned, and to advantage. Among these desirable possessions of knowledge might be placed the simple fact: Coal dealers need not go out of business merely because they adhere to government rules and regulations. There is really no need for anxiety on the part of any man selling coal today what though the new prices, sot by a committee authorized by the Federal Government, tend to lessen pleasure of lbe upon us ere we._are aware. As xpress offices, nn} pbst offices throughout the land will be working overtime from now on an ounce of lcommon sense displayed at this time will bring in many moments of joy one month from today. P. S. MR. JOHNSON SEN! REGARDS. \ It is an interesting letter we print another column, an epistle, from Severin Johnson who emphatical- denies he is a disgruntled coal ealer. ‘Without going into a long drawn- out contradiction of Mr. Johnson's ef- ion, herein he assumes. many things never stated in these columns, snd misinterprets as madly others, we take the subjoined paragraph in which he refutes the claim that re- lpairs can be made to coal carts at less than seven cents a ton, his orig- [lnal estimate. Hear him:— “Repairs 7c¢ per ton. You say a wagon need to break down every trip to make this charge. Our company has got 4 wagons at present that are not broken down but need a little tuch up. You can have the Job at yoyr own price or 28c for the four 'of them and we will allow 100% profit on top of it". In this instance Mr. Johnson does just what we had always supposed he would do. In his original state- ment he makes the claim that it re- quires seven cents a ton to cover the repair bill. When he wants to allot the work to others he sticks to the letter of his law. That is, he wants to repair his four carts, at his estl- mate of seven cents a ton, and would have this work done for twenty-eight cents. That would be reasonable if the four carts delivered only four tons of coal during the year. If they de- livered the flve thousand tons Mr. Johnson figured on we would want $200, our allowance for repairs, or, as first estimated, four cents a ton. Originally, he asked seven cents for each ton delivered, the seven cents to be used for repairs. At that rate he would get $350 to repair four coal carts, the while he offers us 28 cents. How like a coal dealer! Other statements this highly camouflaged letter would, under the microscopic eye of the analyst, fur- nish the samc material for wonder- ment. As an instance, we might call attention to the paragraphs which set forth the way in which a six per cent. profit on investments is sought for the coal business. The capital there mentioned is looked upon as doing ’flw only once, whereas any man in in his profits. There have been profits in the past. There will be profits in the future. There are profits now for the man who does business with a level head, and who directs all his energies toward the one great end,— serving the public. The coal dealer who today starts out to fill his bins with good clean coal for the winter, and who does not use the present necessary action of Uncle Sam as a petty reason for refusing to prevent a coal shortage, or for actually helping to bring about a coal famine, is the man to whom this community will flock with business when better days come. We are now at war. Condi- tions are/ bad enough as they are, without trying to make them worse. If the coal dealers here fail to exert their influence they can make an artificial shortage of coal,—unless the Government steps in an commandeers their plants; which the government then would probably do. And this if some men are forced out of the coal business never to réturn. There are undoubtedly misfits there as in other businesses. UNOLE SAM MEANS BUSINESS. Even those folk who live inland will find comfort in the news that the United States Government has or- dered the water-fronts of the large cities guarded by military police. There had been, in the recent past, too many fires and explosions to argue well for the public safety. Bnemy aliens, barred from admit- tance to certain prescribed zones, wil- fully violated their orders, with the result that many valuable buildings were deliberately set afire. Now the government has sent its armed forces to take care of these places. It is really time the Government took a more vigorous hand in the matter of protecting its great prop- ertles, and those of private indi- viduals, along the water-fronts of this country. There s much valuable property there, and many cargoes stored on these premises, which should not be lost to the nation. 'Hith- erto the Government has been easy- going,—even mildly tolerant of im- positions against its wishes. Enemy allens have been given an inch each and some have taken miles. Now the bars are up. If there be any enemy alien of evil intent an armed man will take care of him. If there be those enemy aliens who wish to violate the hospitality of a great and generous, country, and who are caught in the act, a bullet from a soldier’s rifle will decide the case. not done in this way, proper punish- ment will be meted out in the courts of the land, and a long trip to At- lanta or some other Federal prison might tend to show that Uncle Sam hus taken off his peace-time clothes and is garbed in the garments of war.

Tonight, Old House, you sleep alone! How strange your outlines, cold as stone! < Though the calm stars of heaven look on, For the first time all life is gone. Yet dreams wait in each room, And kindly ghosts move through the gloom, The light of memory is there, Whose steady flame drives out despair. Fair woman-grace and manhood gray, Across each threshold take their way; Their hands uplift the oak chest lid, Where doll and wooly dog are hid. A sweet wine smell floats on the cold, From sacks that brown dried peaches hold; While crinkly maple sugar cakes— Such as some old-time farmwife makes— Vie with the heads of bloom, In shedding fragrance through the gloom. dried Therb They drop the lid and leave these dreams z Hidden beenath the rose quilt seams.

N The passing The Then hum of spinning The sleepyhollow rocker sways, The organ sounds, as in old days When supple fingers swept the keys, And Youth and Mirth made melodies. Then comes the solemn voice of prayer— A form sits in the old armchair— By many hands the feast is spread— This still room holds its shrouded dead. But Love is deathless, and will give Perennial bloom where memories live; Thongh for the first, Old House, to- night Your dwellers all have taken flight, Since Love and Memory guard thelir own, 01d House, you need not sleep alone. —Cora A. Matson Dolson, in the Christian Advocate. One Good Result. (Boston Post.) It has been asked now and then what good the federal food adminis- tration, and Mr. Hoover, especially, were doing or could do in the way of preventing the soaring of prices with ccnsequent hardships to the people of moderate means. The answer is: sugar. Suppose that no control over sugar had been exercised by the board? Jt would still be scarce, nature of things, but there would have been some on the market and the price would have gone up to 40 or 50 cents a pound—and the rich would have got it all. Today sugar Is scarce, but such as ‘can be had is sold at a moderate price—and the very first to get It in the various places where there is any have been the poor. : That's what Hoover and food con- trol can do in one case, anyway. by the very COMMUNICATED THE “OLD FASHION WAY.” Severin Johnson Shows How Much It Costs to Conduct Coal Business in “An Expensive Yard.” To the Editor of the Herald, In your issue of Nov. 23 in a edi- torial of nearly two columns you are criticising the figures submitted by me as to the approximate cost of hand- ling a ton of coal. Since you are ask- ‘Ing for information on certain items it seems to be incumbent upon me to comply with vour request. To start off with I desire to inform You that T am not a disgruntled coal dealer. I am simply employed by the Stanley-Svea Grain & Coal Co., as sec- retary and treasurer; for my services I am paid a compensation same as you are by the’'concern that employs you. If through Government and news- paper activity the Stanley-Svea Grain & Coal Co., will be forced out of bus- iness, I will look for another job. That’s all. I also want it strictly un- derstood that I am not speaking for the coal dealers of New Britain. If they have not got the courage to de- fend themselves when they are slan- dered and insulted is no concern of mine. I am only speaking as & man who has had some experience in the retail coal.business. Neither have I sald that there will be no coal in New Britain this winter because I do not know what will happen in the future. Since. you claim that you know you are’entitled to a place amongst the small Prophets. Now to the figures: You find fault with my allowance of 40¢ per ton interest for capital in- vested. You say that you can buy 1000 tons of coal at the mine for $5000. Correct if you get Company coal. On this you flgure at the rate of 6 per cent. same as I did and say that it will come to 4c per ton as that is all the money you have allowed. T presume you intend to cheat the ratl- road out of the £2000 freight and the Federal Government out of $90 War Tax. Do you really think that you can do it? When the 1000, tons arrive in New Britain you will of course put them in your pocket as you have made no other provision to take care of them. The old fashion way has been to mgintain an expensive yard with a wide railroad front, horses, wagons Etc. You will then have an invest- ment like this: Cost of Yard Horses, Wagons & Fixtures. .. 1000 Tons of Coal in Stock... Accts. Recelvable Outstanding $20,000 2,000 8,750 5,000 Total investment in business $35,750 Six per cent. Interest on the above sum will be $2,145.00 now suppose the dealer sells 5000 tons per year, divide the $2,145.00 with the amount of tons sold and you will find that I am not far off. If you find that I am correct remember that I have 36c per ton comeing next time you revise your es- timate. Takes 8o per ton. You say there is no such taxes In the city or state. My Friend: the tax bill need only be $400 to get the 8c per ton., the dealer whoescape with this is fortunate. Repairs 7c per ton. You say a wa- gon need to break down every trip to make this charge. Our company has got 4 wagons at present that are not broken down but need a little tuch up. You can have the Job at your own price or 28c for the four of them snd we will aliow 100 per cent. profit on top of it. Insurance 4c¢ per ton, we agree. Exnenses 18c per ton. You seel more information. Every up to datr concern has an expense account where such things as light, heat, stationery postage, tclephone, advertising, don: tlons, and various other items not in- cluded anywhere else is kept account of. This might be more or less my estimate is 18c per ton and believe it is fair. Losses 6¢ per ton. On what? You ask. On bad accounts. Has you con- cernnever lost any money that way?” Supervision, bookkeeping and Col- lecting 40c per ton. You say that you would cut the customer out of the accommodetion of credit that he has had before elimate the expense of collecting and do the supervising and bookkeeping for 20c per ton. I Will admit that with the change of credit to cash system this perticular item can be reduced but not to 20¢ per ton. 20c per ton for 5000 tons will total Bookkeeper $12 for 52, weeks per week Balance for manager. $ 376.00 per year or $7.23 per week. Will vou trust the management of a interprice where a capital of $35,000.00 s invest- ed to a man that can be hired for $7.23 per week? Unloading from we agree. Screening and Bagging 23¢ per ten. Your sugesting to give some of the customers dirty coal and then you give me 2c per ton additional. Thank you. Wear of bags 10c per ton. You fig- ure the use of a bag 200 time. So do I. My figure was based on the cost of the bags at $1 a piece, you flgure the bag at present market value $1.40 which is correct. Now Mr. Editor you probably know that it takes 20 one hundred pound bags to carry a ton of coal those you will have an invest- ment in bags 20times 140 ot $28.00 for one ton. Dividing this with your own estimate of 200trips we have a cost of 14c per ton whereas you say that it will come to 1c per ton. Fig- ure again, and see if I am correct if so will allow me 13c on this item next time vou revise vour estimate. It seems that you are not very good at figures. We got m New Britain very good evening schools, few months spent there would do you a lot of good. You say in a editorial that to your knowledge no coal dealer ever went bankrupt or had to quit unless he re- tired and then he lived on the inter- est he accumulated in business. Now Mr. Editor, T do not expect that you should know ev ivthing but von ousht to know that richt here in New Brit- ain in the last 15 years 2 have failed and ¢ have quit. Why I do not know cars 20c per ton, B FACTS ABOUT THE AMERICAN NAVY OIS BY LIEUT. FITZHUGH GREEN, U. 8. N. HOWARD F. LAURIE.

AN OLD COAL DEALER SPEAKS. cives ar. gonmon n wew aces ana | S6VENEY-Three Members of Legion | Soon Going to France Asks a Question or Two. To Whom It May Concern: Back to thc mines, Mr. wd learn the coal bu \gain; you are too expen public to sell coal according to your ‘igures in last Tuesday's Herald. Fur- thermore, this is no time for crying hen every man with some kind of wanhood in him is exvected to do his luty and back up his Government hoth with words and actions and not ‘o criticise its decisions. So much for the moral point of view 5% it and now let us get down to facts During fourteen years experience in e coal husiness the writer found that he legitimate profit on a ton of coal 5 $1 per ton plus the difference he- tw ross ton and net ton or in oth- r words add $1 to the purchase price and by : ton and sell net ton. T will admit that you todey may need wn extra 25c, which with the increase in the value of the 240 Ibs. ought to make up the difference in cost of handling it- from former days, when vou taks in consideration that an aver- age delivery of seven tons s a fair day’s work for one man and one horse. Now, Mr. Johnson, the Government allows vou just $1.76 profit on your purchase price plus the 240 Ibs. That vou buy Tndependent coal only is entirely vour own fault, and the sublic should not be asked to pay the difference. 1 fail to see why you <hould not be able te get SOME of the Company coal when you take into con- “ideration that they are marketing four times as much coal as the Inde- pendent operators. As a fair illustration of with what abandon the coal prices have been juggled in this good hurg of ours dur- ing the last summer, I like to quote our experience in the house where [ live. Tamily No. 1 bought their coal for $11 per ton: family No. 2 for $10.50 and family No. 3 for $9.50; all three families using same size of coal. Cas anybody say why the difference between spring and fall prices should Dbe $1.50 when coal only advanced 50c If this is what is called high finar ceering the writer is glad to l.e out of it. And at last, Mr. Johnson, did you not forget to figure out the wear and tear on the coalshovel in your some- what stretched account of the cost of handling COAL? Yours truly, EDWARD BERGMAN.

Only rats attack the cheese while a myriad sharp-toothed agents nibble away at the warship’s skin and innards. Time, men say, is the Great Cor- roder. But much is blamed on Time that owes its obsequies to visible, in- timate things, from apple pie to high- balls—acid and deadly stimulant. As does Man, the Master of the World, succumb to these innocent ! arms of the Devil, so does the Man- | of-War, Ruler of the Sea, waste away and rot from a dozen aclds and gal- vanic stimulants. The bottom of a battleship in dock presents a curious exaggeration of an advertisement for eczema cure. Pim- ply barnacles squat like white mag- gots among & mangy growth of sea- weed whiskers; while from water- line to keel spread the scabby areas of corrosion. When the ship is docked a string of floats around her support men with wire brushes. As the water falls all weeds, barnacles, and other marine | growths are scraped off. These have gathered alr and acid and the greasy . scum of harbor water all of which ' attack not only paint but seam ce- | ment, and steel itself.

Steel struts | may be chewed like & mad dog's | chain, and beautiful finish from forge and lathe rutted and seamed into sem- blance of an old man’s face. ‘Tis: the awful ulceration of Galvanic Ac- n. Don’t worry; you can savez it just as soon as the scientist: pleces of any pair of different metals, iron and copper, zinc and tin, lead and gold, nlaced together in salt water create an electric current—just why, Mar- coni himself doesn’t know. When the | current flows one metal is eaten away —corrodes. This phenomenon is called Galvanic Action. Between brass or bronze propeller and its steel stern tube the galvanic activity is no less ion. is so often so disastrous that nuti and bolts and whole frames may fal out. The remedy reminds me of a mal chased by a bear: drops his mitten bear sniffs it, gnaws it; and the marn escapes. Soft zinc plates seem appe: tizing to the bear-like voracity of G A. About a warship’s stern an¢ valves, and any other vulnerable spoti slabs of zinc are distributed. On dock: ing it is found that they are gouge( and eaten while the precious steel es: capes.

POLISH VOLUNTEERS READY T0 LEAVE Seventy-three volunteers in the Po- lish Legion for service in France, who leave this city Thanksgiving da. ternoon for a cantonment in Canada, preparatory to sailing for France, vi ited the War Bureau office in City hall last evening and were presented with various articles needed by the soldiers by the New Britain Chapter of the Red Cross. Although there are lose to 100 men in the Foreign Le- <lon, only 73 uppeared last night as the others were out of the city making farewell ts with friends and rela- tives. Arrangements were made to- day to send their gifts to these men. The sifts made by the Red Cross in- cluded a sweater, a knitted helmet, a soldier’s sewing kit, heavy woolen socks and a box of healing powder. The men were much pleased with these tokens of esteem and voiced their thanks. Those who assisted Clerk farl Kisslebrack in distributing them were Jacob Finkelstein, clerk for the second exemption hoard, Ferdinand T. Foster, Howard W. Draper, A. H. Rockwell, Stanley Arzylowich and Jos- oph A. Kloskowski, the last named acting as interpreter. Captain Is Jap War Vcteran.
