COAL LEGISLATION Administrator Ruassell State Fuel has recommended legislation caleulat- d to meet the coal crisis, He recom- mends giving the power to seize or di- to the Governor or his ap- authorizing vert coal, pointee .and he @efintte control of distribution in the state Probably no more popular legislas tion could be suggested at this time. The legislation is desired to make It possible to listress in any locality which would merely distress” would be a arguments may raised against it. But that avowed purpose of the legislation remembered, It {s not suggested for the purpose of regulating prices of coal unless such “distress.” Such law change mat. advises relleve or avert Certainly “relleve or avert Few any law just law. be should be prices threaten would not, for instance, ters as they are in New Britain today. Were such a law on the statute books | been no coal there would there would have “'seized" for New Britain; have been no coal “diverted” to it. On the contrary, if this city has had more than its share, as alleged, it is quite possible that some of the coal we have had might have been seized or diverted for the benefit of other localitles and the people of tiis city might be less well off than they are at present. Such law, in other mot be a “cure-all.”” Tt is well to un- derstand this thoroughly. No one should grow careless in use of coal because of the hope that such a_ bill may be presented. Legislation® or ng words, would legislation cogk is"scarce and going toy be more scarce probably. It should be conserved. EXPERT ADVICE There is a tendency In this city, as “in others, to undervalue the advan- “tages of expert advice. No reflection cast upon the layman whose advice is’taken in preference to that of an avallable expert. It was not the fault ‘of F. G. Vibherts, for instance, that he iwas chosen chairman of the commit- ‘tee on health and sanitation for the ischools, rather than a member of the medical profession. Moreover it would be small business to make an {ssue out of any one case of this char- tacter. But the situation in regard to ‘health matters emphasizes this tendency in the city to value at less ‘than par the opinions of men experts in their line The same inclination has been shown in falling to appreciate that the ‘eorporation council of the city, who- iever he may be, is more capable of ‘advising the city wisely on legal mat- ters than are members of the common council who know little about the in- tricacies of the law. The same ten- dency was shown in .permitting the cutting of ice at Shuttle Meadow” lake against the advice of Federal, State {and local health authorities. In mat- iters of finance due weight has not *been given to opinions of those whose Tlife work fits them to advise in such matters. It is good that men have opinions ‘of thelr own on many subjects and are snot afrald to voice those opinions. $But when a city is fortunate enough ‘to have at its disposal the expert knowledge of public spirited men and “women it is well to appreciate the value of the services they might ren- ‘der the city, by placing them in posi- tlons to speak authoritatively on the /subjects with which they are most ifamiliar, A CHILD AND HIS MONEY It is reported that half a million dollars has been offered, to ‘“Jackie” Coogan, a little boy, for signing a contract to act before the camera. To _:nnl is to be added 60 per cent of the ;profits of the first four pictures in ;which he appears. Jackie's guardians Il probably take the money for him ~and Jackle will feature pictures that Swill be good. The public will enjoy ‘m pictures, the producers will make " imoney and the Coogan interests will profit financially. So any discussion of the matter is purely academie; but . it is suggestive of important consider- It Is & good thing for people to see ehtldren in pictures.

SINCERLE { Miich to the surprise bt many peo- | ple of this country Japan has shown a decided tendency to carry out the spirit of the Disarmament Conference. Her surrender of Shantung, according to specifications, was but one of the | evidences of this attitude. Now come reports that she is be- ginning at the bottom to stamp out | the militaristic spirit—a spirit against | whieh the men back of the' Washing- ton conference aimed theif shafts, It is sfitpd that Japan is making sweep- ing reforms in .her school histories, eliminating militaristic ideas there- from, and teaching children to look upon foreign nations in a friendly spirit. Many fanious Americans are included among those whose lives are described, and.a general broadening of the histories sought. This movement in Japan is of espe- clal interest mot only as showing a | spreading idea of better understand- ing among nations, but also of em- phasizing the wisdom. of seeing to it that all histary, taughty to children | should be fair and impartial. There has been a moyement ih. this country | to examine closely into the histories | in use in our own schools to see it facts have not been distorted, as often alleged. Tt is a well-advised move- ment if the criticisms, are as fairly made as our historles should be. BILLS discussion has in- ARMISTICE DA | Some unfortunate | arisen over payment of the bills curred for Armistice Day commemor- | ation. There is no need to decide whether or not the city promised of- ficially to pay such bills. They were incurred in good faith and for a cause with which New ain people are in sympathy.. Possibly the affair was ar- ranged somewhat informally; possibly not. The sentiment surrounding the inspiration of the keeping of this on- | niversary should not be tainted by | criminations and recriminations. We are glad that Armistice Day was fit- tingly oheerved, and the people are perfectly willing to pay the bills. It is to be hoped that the city meet- ing board will authorize payment of the proper bills, if the matter fis |ing that eourt with interest Many would [eated Press)—A topaz weighing five great possibilities in it, gret its passing 1t is doubtful if | Pounds, remarkable not enly for Chicage, Jan. 12.—~(By the Asso- Governor Davis will have influence | ¥ DUL for Ms clearness, is among enough to kil it, Facts and Fancies (WY RORERT QUILIEN), Some girls are like that, and some have sensible mothers, Impudence: The quality in a child that Svas outeness three years ago, the specimens brought back to Chica- €0 by Dr, Oliver C.

The expedition visited the Morro Velho gold mine, which is the deepest mining shaft on earth. Its lowest level is 7,000 feet below the surface, At the rock is 117 degrees hrenheit, making it necessary to maintain an elaborate refrigeration plant on the surface to force cold air down to the miners. The deeper the shaft goes, however, the richer the ore found so the additional cost of mining is more than offset by the returns. Iron ore of the finest quality for steel manufacture is so common 4n this district, according to Dr. Farring- ton, that his party rode for day after day over the mountains, valleys and plains of solid iron deposits. Mangan- ese, aluminum and other valuable ores were also found in abundance, The Brazillans of the interior were almost uniformly friendly, and willing to give every assistance to the scien- tists, Dr. Farrington reported, except in one town where he was neariy mob- bed when a rumor spread that he in- tended to buy a gold mine which was to be sold at auction. The natives objected to a foreigner obtaining the mine and spent most of the night in a demongtration in front of the house where he was staying, shooting, ex- ploding dynamite, cartridges, singing and shouting derisively. American automobiles, typewriters, sewing machines and other mechani- cal appllances were very common in the interior, however, and American movies enjoy almost a monopoly, he said. Even the remote villages have their cinema theaters,* where the American screen favorites are shown. Wild awest films were the most popu- lar. PRIDE CIRCLE INSTALLS Mrs. John J.

CHURCH ST, RESIDENT. LEFT $50,000 TO FOUR DOGS. Chicago Woman’s Heirs, = However, Produce Another Will in Court. Chicuko, Jan. 12.—Claims of an Arkansas orphan asylum, four dogs, and a score of relatives to the $50,- 000 estate of Mrs. Margaret Howard, was to be adjudicated by Probate Judge Henry Horner today. The pro- duction of two alleged wills naming different heirs and the disappearance of one of the canine legatees soon after the death of his mistress has shrouded the estate in mystery. Three months before the death, Mrs. C. Leemon, an attorney, to ex- ceute a will for her, in which her property was placed in trust for the benefit of her four dogs. A sister, Mrs. Tillie Leighto was to receive $500, and after the death of the dogs, the entire estate was to go to the Arkansas Children's Home at Little Rock. Relatives declare that just before her death, Mrs. Howard made a new will disregarding the dogs and di- viding the estate between the rela- tives, This alleged will, with the sig- natures cut off, was produced in pro- duced in today's hearing.
