President Coolldge was assured by Becretary of Commerce Hoover, John Hays Hammond and others that the country had enough an- thracite to last untll December, But a lack of hard fuel has already been falt in northern cities and appeals for action of some sort are being heard. “we dlspatch from Washington gave the following {lluminating re- sume of conditions: “The consistent pollcy of the President during the seven weeks of the strike has been to remaln entirely aloof and leave the warring partles to settlo their differences without feder- al intervention or suggestion. Due to the President's refusal even to mention coal, the sue- pension of mining has recejved little attentlon. In other years the recriminations of the miners and operators have re- celved a wast amount of notice. Public ofMcers were tumbling over one another to effect a re- sumption of mining. This year all is difterent. Government andJ state officlals have recalized their impotency. Even the dauntless Gov. Pinchot of Pennsylvania has found anthracite too hot an article to handle and this year has called neither miner nor operator to his executive man- slon.” Therefore, what to do about if, that will be the question in Decem- ber If the strike is not ended by that time, If by the time Congress meets, the strike is still shadow over the snows, it s consid- likely that very broad powers will be conferred upon the President by Congress, with or without his recommendation, The basts for such legislation exists in the report of the U. 8.

But they have circulatedfy) around quite effectively; and as a large proportion of downtown mo- tors are driven by the same e¢on- tingent of drivers every day, the in- fic oversight probably has been a factor in bringing about the reform under way, X There also is something to be sald In favor of improving road manners through experlence, Peo- ple as a rule want to do the right thing, whether they are in motor cars or on foot. And when motorists have had suflicient opportunity to see the evil effects of parking on cross-over walks while waiting for the traflic signal it is natural for them to avoid doing so. So far as the Center {s concerned and it {s not the only place in the city where the improvemnt has be- come noticcable—the recently in- stalled automatic traffic signals may have been an influence in this con- nection. The change from the green light to the red not being intancously, but by intermediate made of a yellow light, motorlsts per- haps are given time to prepare for the red stop signal. It may be that as soon as the green light goes off nd the yellow appears, brakes be- gin to grind, so that by the time the red light is seen, most drivers are alrcady near a stop. The inter- yellow light apparently gives them time to avoid parking on the cross-over walks. What ever the reason for our im- provement in street manners, mediary we are glad it has arrived. Let it re- main and be the permanent fashion in all well-regulated citics. NEW SE.

What tricks are played by fate! | Probably the licad of the house had been advised by the thirfty wife the day heéfore that the meter need- ed “more quarters;” and perhaps the head of the house forgot about it and went to bed without feeding the meter. Such things happen reg- ularly wherever quarter meters are installed, At any rate, there wasn't enough money in the meter at a time when such luck saved elx lives, How glad the survivors of this de- luge of gas must be today that no- body remembered about the meter!
