THE MAN WHO TALKS The forester of the Soclety for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests in a recent magagine article has shown very interestingly how the migrations of the timber market of the United States have generally followed the line of the migrations of the people. In the early days, when pine was cheap and plenti- ful, the center of this industry was Port- land, Me. In this country timber has al- ways been a froptier product. The first jump the market made was to Buffalo, N. Y, which corresponded with the first migration from New England westward. When pine began to grow scarce and Pennsylvania hemlock was dlscovered the market moved again, this time to Pittsburgh, Then with the advent of southern pine Memphis, Tenn., became the center. Then with later migrations the market moved consecutively to W: consin, Minnesota, and finally to Port- land, Ore. The one thing regmarkable about this analogy is that the opportuni- ty to get lumber has always followed the opportunity to get food, the two great necessities of ploneer life. In some way the greatest needs of man are met. I wonder why some professional au- thor does not write on the significance of silence. Thoroughly worked out, what a book it would make! Silence between friends is understood; between those who are only slightly acquainted it is not. If a good housewife who has a great community reputation for making squash pies gives a plece to her inti- mate friend and if the latter does not rave over it she thinks nothing ubout it; her appreciation is taken for grantad. But if a comparative stranger should fail to make known her delight, the squash ple business between them would end abeupt] 1f there is a misunder- standing over words it can be rectified when one explains the meaning he in- tended his words to convey. ~But when silence is not understood it cannot he rectified because there is nothinz to ex- plain. How much can be said when nothing has been spoken, and these un- spoken things cannot be proven. Eveiy human passion can be expressel by si- lence, and vet it has no legal value. SPEAKING FOR THE COUNTRY. Even though Samuel Gompers has been quick to sense the bad break that was made by any man in addressing the president as did J. Cleve Dean, chair- man of the Rallway Employes Publicity association, to brand him as a straw man and to belleve that no attention ought to have been paid to such a com- munication from an unknown, it is an- doubtedly true that there are men who talk and feel as J. Cleve Dean does, and the response that was made to his com- munication by the president may serve to set such people right even though Dean is a straw man. President Harding clearly and carer fully set forth the successive steps in connection with the strike and the prin- ciples which have been followed by the government and its agent and laid due emphasis upon the fact that there is just as much right for a free American to accept employment as there is for oth- ers to decline to work. And the presi- dent takes care to point out that “The difference between the two positions that striking railroad workers exerci their rights of freedom in seeking to hinder the necessary transportation of{ the country, motwithstandwmg the provis- ion made by law for the consideration of any just grievance, and the striking miners seek to prevent the production of coal necessary to common welfare, not- withstanding the offer of an agency iof make an impartial settlement, while the men who choose to work In response to the call of the country are exercisine their like right, and at the same time are making their contribution to our common American welfare.” It doesn't make any difference wheth-; er Mr. Dean is a man of straw or not, the response of the president was to the point and in that as in the repeated ef- forts which have been made to bring about a settlement of the strikes he has the support of the American publie, and in his reply voiced its sentiments. To the inguisitive mind thers is al- ways interest in a new prospect. And herein consists the fascination connectsd with traveling. It is th sternal newness of the scenes that are being presented to the vision. It explains why at tne present time the ocean liners are carry- ing capacity crowds across the Atlantic, notwithstanding the highway robbery to which the tourist is submitt:d at the hotels of France and Germany. But one need not take an ocean voyaza in crder to get the new prospect. It can b found in your own countsy, your own state, and possibly in your own city. I take decided objections to the old saying that “when you've seen ome 3lace in a given state you've seen all” Or that “iwo places in a given section are as much alike as two peas in a pod.” How many of us, living here in eastern Connecti- cut, are familiar with all the mountamn glories of Litchfield county? The new prospect is always where our eyes have never rested, or have restsi only care- lessly. When we look off from the top of a mountain or high hill, what dominates the landscape? Is it man? Hardly, for if man can be seen at all from the sum- mit of a mountain La seems about the size of an ant, creeping cver his little WORKING FOR GREATER SAFETY.

By making explorations along certain lines, one may make important discoveries mot unworthy of the great navigator. The discoveries I refer to lie within the realm of one's own personal- ity, and this was the root idea of all of Columbus' voyages. If men would only venture more into the unknown recesses of themselves they would be surprised at the extent and value of the find. And here again they are not unlike Colum- bus. He started out with the hope of finding a new and better route to the Bast Indies, but what he found was a new continent. Many a man looking into himself merely for a new path in the old world has really found a new world of whose existenge he mever dreamed. We all of us have latent pos- ibilities that are discoverable; they are calling loudly to us to go down into the deep mines of ourselves and do some hard digging; to bring the rich crude ore to the surface and prepare it for use- fulness.

The gates of the past are now closed, never again to be opened for any of us; those of the future are mot vet opened for any to enter who are now living.

A continued cessation of coal »rn-' .duction would not be extremely dis- astrous to the United States, as lhel Bnglish mines are ‘operating &nd sup- plies can easily be found elsewhere, urning to England for a supply of coal would not be any considerable hardship upon the industries along the Atlantic coast although it might result in higher prices to industries which are situated at interior points, writes V. G, Iden, in New York Jour- nal of Commerce. The bituminous coal fields of the United States are found generally in the Appalachian range. From that territory it is shipped to the industries of the East and over the lakes to the industries of the west. The western coast is dependent chiefly upon Alaska for coal. The is- lands of the Pacific and Asia produce little if any of the commodity. There- fore, generally speaking the territory which is now supnlied with coal from “he region affected by the strile could easily be supplied with coal from En- gland. The only difficulty encounter- ed is the extra charge for hauling. English coal, it is reputed can be delivered at Atlantic ports at approx- imately $7.50 & ton. This has been prior to now higher priced than the domestic commodity. Within the past few weeks, however, there have been some experimental shipments of coal from England. This will increase as the demand exerts itself. English Exports Doubled—English exports of coal during 1921 totalled 24,660,242 tons, or approximately 2,- 000,000 tons a month. English exports during the first five months of 1932 have been as follow: January, 4,020,835; February, 4,014,- 334; March, 5201,235; April, 4,096, 578; May, 5,057,230, From these figures it is apparent that the English exports are about double WNit they were last vear. This is undoubtedly true, but it re- sults from the fact that France has been buying more coal of England. And England has, furthermore, been called upon to supply largely the for- eign consumers of coal who prior to| this obtained their supplies from the United States. The substitution of English coal in these latter instances has made it possible to conserve our own supplies. But aside from this, according to authorities who have only recently returned from England, the British mines could ship the United States several million tons of coal without any undue strain being exercised. The prime reason English coal has not been imported prior to this is due to the speculative nature of our own market. So long as there is no dire necessity for foreign coal the Am- erican dealers could easily “break” any would-be importer. The disorganiza- tion of our own industry is there- fore more likely responsible for the present condition of our coal market than the economic factors warrant. Coal for Domestic Uses—Contrary to popular conception, the production stocks of bituminous coals in the Unit- | ed States are not lower for domes- tic uses than they have been in years previous. While it is generall ccept- ed as a fact that the production of bituminous coal has been falling off rapidly and while the curtailment brought about by the strike is only too evident, there has been a curtail- ment of coal exported more than suf- ficient to offset any curtailment of production in this country. In other words, the production of bituminous coal to this date in the United States has not been ourtailed nearly so| much as has been the tonnage of the coal we have exported this year to| date. Therefore, it is but reasonable to figure that the bituminous coal available for domestic copsumption has to this date this year been greater than in previous years. According to the official figures pro- vided by the geological survey, de- partment of the interior, the produc- tion of bituminous coal in the United industries of the country and to prod\vcc' widespread suffering. But with the coal mines- closed and the railroads inzuLi\'ci these direful things will certainly result. In a few months the people of New Eng- land and all those living in the northern belt of the United States will impera- tively need coal, but there is little or no coal to be had, and if there was, trans- portation is inadequate. The Lacka- wanna system, running through the an- thracite region, has recently taken oft thirty-five heavy freight trains a day, and others in proportion. While a real coal famine is not upon us, it is certain- Iy fmminent. In view of the almost in- conceivable suffering that would come to | New England without coal in the winter season, has not the time come for the people to demand drastic legislation in the matter? SUNDAY MORNING TALK THE BRIGHT CLOUDS. Ask ye of the Lord rain in the time of the latter rain; so the Lord shalll make bright clouds, and give showers of rain, to every one grass in the Zech. 10: 1. There is something very beautiful the terms this promise. clouds” or “lightnings” ers of rain, and God will make these, before He sends the showers. Thus He exercises faith; He does not immediately answer the prayer, but requires His people still to on Him. He will “make bright clouds” for their encouragement, but they must persevere in supplication if they would have showers for their refeeshment, and to them that “wait upon the Lord” there may be clouds, but are they not “bright clouds?” The murkiest cloud which can | rise on the firmament of the believer has a gilded side; “the Sun of righteousness” shines on is; God may bring the cloud over His people and, as Elihu salth, “men see not the bright light which is In the clouds;” but if the world see It not the believer m: and God brings the eloud that, its brightness being acknowledged, in and through the acknowledgment of His doing all things welk He may send a gracious rain on His inheritance, and refresh it when it is weary.

States up to July 1'of the current vear was 137.&3.'.,00"!1‘ tons. :‘d;:&lu same date during 1921 ‘the pr on, ac- cording i 5y figures furnished by the survey, was 196,464,000 It is ap parent from these figurgs that the production so far this year has been but 8,631,000 tons behind. By conser- vation in industry and careful hus- bandry of resources this shortage could be easily provided for. Undoubt- edly it has been taken care of ade- quately in industrial fields, but it is obvious from the export figures that it has been more than offset in the curtailment of export coal . American Exyorts Curtailed—Ac- cording to the official figures, the bi- tuminous coal exports of the United States during 1020 amounted to 34,- 410,000 tons, This large volume of ex- ports was due to the strike in Eng- land, during which time the United States was called upon to provide the more active markets of the world. During 1921 we exported 20,861,000 tons of bituminous coal. That also was a good export vear. Bui taking these two years as averages, we would be doing normally an export business of 18,800,000 tons every six months. Therefore, upon the basis of the past two years, our normal bituminous coal exports would amount to some 13,800,000 during the first half of the ear. Y ur actual coal exports for this year have been far behind the pre- Tieus reserds. For the first five months of {he year we exported 3,- 795,309 tons. According to reports. our exports during June were negligible. At the most, we have not exported over 4,000,000 tons during the past six months. From this it is obvious our exports are running behind by ap- proximately 10,000,000 tons. If the curtailment in exports means anything, it means that we have re- fused to sell abroad what might be needed at home, Therefore, while our production has to date run behind ap- proximately by 8,800,000 tons, we have sold abroad over 10.000.000 tons less than we normally do. Therefore de- spité the curtailed production. the consumers of coal in the United States are today better supplied than they were a year ago . or even two years ago, by some 2,000,000 tons of coal Reserve Stocks—The only specula- tive factor in the calculation is the reserve stocks of coal In view of the continuation of the strike of the coal miners, the adequacy of these stocks becomes questionable. The strike has now continued three months, and it was only comparatvely recent that prices began to advance, This very ad- vance in price has operated to cur- tail exports and conserve our coal stocks, as it has discouraged foreign- ers buying our coal. A complete ces- sation of exports through higher prices would mean the conservaion of 13,000,- 000 tons more of coal during the next six months and those 13,000,000 tons would probably be ample to take care of current requirements at home. The coal situation, however, pecu- liarly lends itself to speculative fac- tors. It is not so perfectly organiz- ed as some other industries and even rumor and report can have a disas- trous effect. From the data that are now availble it weuld appear that the only excuse for the present lev- el of prices is the uncertainty regard- ing the future. The prices do not seem to be justified by the figures of preduction. Famous Literary Mysteries “The Prisomer of Chillon." Situated in one of the most picturesque spots on Lake Geneva, Switzerland, is the Castle of Chillon. Had it not been for Lord Byron immortalizing the place in his long and exquisite poem, “The Prisoner of Chillon.” the snot would re- ceive hardly more than a passing notice by the traveler, for the lake contains many other beauty epots along its bor- ders. But the noet's inspiration has made place familiar to the world But what about Byron's “prisoner?” The historic pris of this castle was Francois Bonniv ‘When Byron wrote his poem he had in view either an imag- inary captive or else the true history of the real Bonnivard was unknown to him. Or did he take the poetic license of adding to the story to bring mere color into it, even if he had to garble the facts? Byron places in the mouth of his hero the lines: “We were seven—who now are one— Six in youth and one in age.” Bonnivard, the real prisoner, had mo brothers, and none of his name died in the castle, although the poet makes him one of six brothers who, with their fa- ther, had laid@ down their lives upon the altar of freedom. Byron took Bonnivard | as his “prisoner” but he must have got- ten his life with other prisoners con- fused, for the time-worn castle boasts a thousand years of story and romance. In fact. more than one thousand years ago Louis le Debonnaire was imprisoned in this castle as a traitor to his king, and five centuries later, hundreds of Hebrews were tortured and then buried alive on the infamous suspicion of poisoning the wells of Europe. But of all the memories which cluster around its walls the most familiar is that of Bonnivard, the Swiss patriot, who lan- guished there far six vears in its dark dungeon, until he was released by the efforts of his’ enthusiastic countrymen. During these gloomy vears of captivity his jailers heard from him no cry and no complaint, save when some tempest swept the lake. Thén, when the wind moaned as if in sympathy around the towers, they could distinguish sobs and cries, proving that when apparently alone with God the captive sought (o give his burdened soul relief. ‘When finally his liberators burst into his cell they found him pal&&nd shadow- like, still chained to the column around which he had walked so many years. A hundeed volces cried to him at once: “Bonnivard, you are free!” The prisoner slowly rose. and the first question he asked was, “And Geneva?" “Free, also!" was the answer. It was in this same Castle of Chillon that Rousseau has fixed the catastrophe of his “Heloise” in fhe rescue of one of her children by Julie from the water, the shock of which and the iliness produced by the immersion causing her death. It was the Duke of Savoy who cap- tured and sent Bonnivard a prisoner to Oie Castle of Chillon. The full facts re- garding his life were easily obtainable by Lord Byron, and Kww he came to err in regard to the family history of his “prisoner” he never explained. There was no need for him to have found it necessary to do so. for there was so much that was picturesque and eventful in the life of Bonnivard that the true facts would have been ali that any poet 30 Minutes of pleasant, creative vince ;3{?5-‘;’ Vs dyeing with SUNSET e tln‘unnen:d hat {E e most wonderful s ye in the world." 18c a Cake 22 Fast Colora ET SUNSEES ONE Recl Dye For ALi Fabrice A | handkerchief ] Teev.hinpash.prick%hen,olgal- ing—these are a few of the tryln‘ skin ills which make baby fretful and keep anxious mothers busy trying to soothe the torment.
