From such action as has been taken thus far by the fact finding commissicn named by the president to -investigate the coal situation it doesn’t appear that it isn't desirous of hearing any and all who are anxious to give it information, or some perhaps who are not anxious to divulge what they know about the coal industry. But it is nevertheless a time- ly notification. by the United States Chamber of Commerce to that commis- sion when, through its president, it asks to be heard if there is to be seri- ous consideration given to the question of natioualization of the coal mines. The fact finding commission is called upon for ® preliminary report early in the new year. It has been given an im- portant task. It is made up of men who are able to handle 'such a big prob- lem expeditiously. But In digging Into a matter which must of necessity .oe viewed from so many angles and in gei- ting those facts which haven’t been pre- viously obtained it means that for the purpose of the early report or recom- mendations its first considerations are likely to be directed to matters of more pressing importance such as providing against the threatened prospects of the country being brought face to face with another coal shortage next summer. For this country to go into the busi- ness of owning or operating the coal mines wouid be a decidedly radical de- parture. It is known that there are those who advocate such a decided change, but it is also known what strong sentiment there is against any such idea. P It was easy to get some idea of what might be expected of the nationalization of the coal mines from what happened when the government took over the rail- roads of the country during the period of the war. There was experience enough in that ‘time with railroad oper- ation to show that the country wanted no more of it, and as the result thereof to plainly indicate that similar action regarding the coal mines would be equally undesirable. Thus it is but natural that the national business or- ganization should be anxious to be heard regarding such a proposition. DEEP SEA DIVING. In the past fortune hunters have not been unmindMi of the large amount of treasure that has gone to the bottom of the sea and which remains there unre- covered because of the difficulties’ that are involved in going to such depths after it. There/are those who have made huge sums in just such salvage work even thopgh the profit wasa't gained in the form of gold bullion or bank notes. But with the great In- erease in the number of vessels going to Davy Jones' locker cn-ryigg with them valuable cargees new attention has been directed to salvage activities. Goid in one férm or another hasn't mny more attraction to treasure hunters today than it ever did, but there have been some wonderful scientific develop- ments which serve to spur on the in- ventors of new forms of diving appara- tus with the result that claims are be- Ing made that by their,use it is possi- ble for divers to go to the depth of 1000 teet, make surveys and actwally do the wecessary work in, recovering valuables, wiid important prelimmary work for the possible raising of vessels, There never has been anything at- tractive about diving armor, and cer- tainly there has beem no improvement made in that direction. But with div- ing suits it is not a question of looks or style, The aim is to provide some- thing that will serve as a protection for, the person who goes to the bottom of the ocean and -also permits of an op- portunity to move about and use his “laims of various kinds have been put forth in behalf )of some of the new diving apparatus that are most ‘inter- esting, with their air chambers, eleetric lights and télephones, There doesn't appear to be anything that they eanpot accomplish that might be expected from such inventions, but as yet they haye i Turkish jurisdiction, and they wel given to understand that the Darda- nelles must be kept open as an interna- tional waterway, It was a distinctive advantage which Turkey gaified at:that gathering at Mu- dania, but when it gives indication that it doesn't propese to respect its agree- ment, that it plans to accemplish its Pprogram without regard for what others say or the consequences, it may come to the realization that it has made a se- rious mistake in not leaving,- well enough alone, or elge it kmows that can further humble those nations which know that it is not for the good of Eu- rope that the Turks should come back which may be prepared to prostrate themselves before the unspeakable Turk. - If the natiomalists continue to imdi- cate that they are not able to stand the success obtained, or make the right uwse of it, it may experfence a different atti- tude from those it is now disposed to be looked upon as more or gess friendly. THE POLITICAL FENDULUM. That the political pendulum in Tues- 4. || 427's eloction swung back farther than indicated by the early returns is shown by the defeat of several of the promi- nent senators and candidates and the cutting down-of the large republican majority that prevailed in the house of representatives. It is mot impossitie for this to be locked upon as the Tesult of the unwieldy congress that the ad- minjstration has been obliged deal with, and the oocasional indication that it was mot disposed to abide by admin- istration suggestions and policies. From all indications the voters have taken the opportunity of| overcoming the sitaa- tion. Complete returns in this state indi- cate how strongly - intrenched are the republicans and how thoroughly they are convinced of the importance to the commonwealth of continuing the ser- vices of tried and true men, nat only’for national but for state office, It was & campaign in which differ- ent issues prevailed in almost every state, where there were cross issues and in fact where eandidates were opposed for reasons over which they had no eon- trol and were not responsible. It was a reaction that gathered its force from several directions and where voters manifested their oppesition in some in- stances throughout the entire ticket, as in the case of New York state, but in others where the head of the ticket alone was selected for defeat either through the casting of votes or by re- maining away from the polls. Consider~ ing the vote of governor and senator the effect of such action is manifest in the marked difference in the total for the respective offices in Massachusetts. It was an election in which no such republican majorities as were piled up two years ago were expected. It was an off year when a swing back nearer to normalcy was expected but the re- sults not only touched but went far be- yond that point to the gratification of the democrats but there are reasens to believe that it wiil also be to the en- lightenment of those who Thave been disposed to run wild and give no con- sideration to administration control. The result of course carries its warning ~—a fact which cannot be disregarded. —— CITY STREETS. Whatever the special committee, which has been named by the common counci Ito bring about departmental cooperation _concerning the matter of digging up and replacing the city streets can jaccomplish will be in be- half of a much needed improvement. With the idea of having the various de- partments regulated cencerning the highway excavations must have appeal- ed to most everyone who has witnessed the tearing up 'of certain streets repeat- edly when it would seem that much work and expense might be avoided if such werk was all done at one time. ‘Where permanent _improvements are made in' streets efforts have been di- rected to this end with good resnits. It not only saves the expenses of repeated excavations but the repeated instances Wwhere , unsatisfactory results have been obtained in putting back’ to the pave- ment, ‘Where strects are torm up and not put back in as good condition as they were found it not only means a poor roadbed” but it depreciates just that much all improvements which had -been made in the highway. If the council committee can devise some method that will meet require- ments it will indicate progress in a much needed direction, and while it is at work upon the matter it is to be pre- sumed that it will give attention to the permaneri pavemens and make it nec- essary for those who do break through them to replace them in kind or some- thing as good and mot leave them filled with holes or depend upon cinders to take the place of brick or cement, .

If only Isabella were coming to- day instead of tomorrow! I know yom’ll be scared to death staying here by your- self tonight!” “Why, I never heard such foolishness,” said the wife. “What is there to be afraid of. And I'm not the afraid kind! I'm safer than though I was left alone all night in our apartment back in Chica- 0 T “Too true,” the solicitons husband ad- mitted.” But if you were there you could at least stick Your head out of the window and yell for help!” s “I'm not going to want help,” said the wife who was as big as a minute, stur- dily. “Look at all this gorgeous sun- shine and red and yellow leaves “Yeah,” said the solicitous husband. ““They’ll be a lot of help about midnight in the dark:of the moon!” “I shall be sound asleep at 9 o'clock and never know if the moon drops off its hook and falls into the next uni- verse!” declared his wife. ‘“There's the machine—you’ll miss your train She hummed gayly after the last wave of her hand at the car vanishing down the road among the trees. She wandered down to the shore of the lakeé and event- ually turned back toward the cottage. “Gracious !” she said, aloud, and hur- ried her steps. “Why, it's about dark! Back of the cottage the woods loomed solid gloom. She locked the porch screen door and then the glass doors of the living room and fumbled for matches. She had some trouble lighting the lamps because she hurried. “There!™ she ad- dressed the family cat, which was grandly unconcerned. T forget to get out the pail for'the milk—but I guess I won't unlock these doors again.” = She sang a bit as she rifled the icebox for her supper. That is, she began a song, but stopped abruptly as something stumbled over the back steps. Possibly the poor lighting made her face look a trifie pale. “I suppose that is Bender's dog,” she told herself somewhat doubt- fully. “I guess I won't bother to cook any eggs. I'll just take a bite into the living room!” ~ iy She had locked the door into the kitchen and was seated before the log fire before she noticed that the food she carried in consisted of an uncooked egg and a cake spoon. “There is an appie over here,” she cried. ‘“I'm not hungry anyhow and there's no use making a light and going out into the kitchen again. If that was Bender's dog I should think he would make another noise or something instead of keeping so still. I guess I'll finish my book—oh, I must have left it out on the porch.

There came a moan from somewhere. “That m-m must be the tree that leans a-g-g-gainst the roof,” she told herself. “It must be the tree!

I believe the windows are up, too—well, I guess I'll just sleep here on the couch—I ought to keep this fire up, for it may be cold tomorrow. 1 really don’t need my night things—I'll just take off my shoes and lie down as 1 am. Tom's revolver is in the bedroom— but it's so cold in there and I guess I hadn't better go after it.” The wind rose steadily. Little branches scraped the sides of the house, acorns fell crashing from the heights of the white oaks and the big dead ranch from the giant beéch chose this time to let go and descend on the roof. IN THE PUBLIC EYE This is Lord Mayor's day in London, when thae new lord mayor, Edward Cecil Moore, will be installed to serve his fel- low citizens, the guilds and the aldermen for the ensuing year. There will be great pomp and ceremony, a brilliant pageant in the streets of the city and in the ev- ening a splendid banquet in the Guild- hall, at which the great dignitaries of the state, the most distinguished people in the kingdom, foreign ambassadors and other celebrities will be present. The city of London, over which the lord may- or is elected to rule, is not great metro- The log fire sputtered wearily and died down. Shivering under the hastily drawn-up slumber robe, she huddled on the big couch witie burning cheeks and ‘wide-open eyes. Her hands were clinched. The wind rose higher. It shrieked and boomed through the great trees with the roar of a distant waterfall, dying away | in the distance with a wall. Blackness velvety blackness in the room. And worse outside. It had been years since the sunlit afternoon and it would be centuries before day dawned. As morn- ing grayness flowed from behind the win- dow shades she dropped off to sleep at last. “Goodness !” said Isabelle when she ar- rived, that afternoon. “Weren't you seared to pieces to stay alone last night ! “Why, the very idea!" laughed her hostess ~ patronizingly. “I wasn't the least bit afraid and I slept beautifully! You see, I'm used to the place, and, be- sides, I'm not the afraid kind!"—Chica- go News. " IN THE DAY’S NEWS THE GULF STREAM. Just what is the Gulf Stream? Discussions about its effects upon cli- mate and mariners’ reports of its exces- sive heat recall that the first detailed study of what ~he called “the grandest and most mighty territorial phenomen- on,” was made by the late Rear Admiral John Elliott Pillsbury, U. S. N., a former president of the National Geographic So- ciety, and summarized by him in a com- munication to the National Geographic Magaazine. “In all oceans there are movements of the water (other than that caused by the tides) which may be said to be due prim- arily to the prevalent wind,” Admiral Pillsbury wrote. “In the two great oceans, the Atlantic and the Pacific, there is to be found both north and south of the equator, and al- so in the Indian Ocean, a similar cir- culation, that is a general westerly move- ment in the tropics, a flow toward the poles along the eastern shores of the continents, an easterly set in the tem- perate zones, and a current toward the equator along the western shores. It thus becomes a grand circular movement, some varts beiflg quite slow, and other parts very swift; sometimes there may be a temporary interruption in the slower por- tions, or perhaps even a reversal, but taken as a whole the movement is con- tinuous. “In the North Atlantic Ocean the cur- rents are probobly more pronounced than in either the Pacific or the Indian Oceans. “The equatorial current is usually de- scribed as being a broad band of water moving across the Atlantic in the tropics. The portion of thjs current situated south of the equator is divided into two parts upon meeting the eastern salient of South America\Cape St. Roque. One Branch turns south toward the Antartic, while the other is forced to the westward along the shores of Northern Brazil and the Guyanas, and is ecalled the Guyana coast current. The equatorial current north of the equator has an almost uninterrupt- ed progress until it reaches the Wind- ward Islands, but a portion of it also impinges against the Guyana coast and Lhuf augments the volume of that cur- rent. “At the Windward Islands both are united, and a portion of the flow enters the Caribbean through the various pas- sages, crosses it to the Yucatan and Hon- duras coasts, and thence into the Gulf of Mexico, from which it issues through the Straits of Florida as the Gulf Stream. 1‘.'sing onward toward Europe it is aug- m’nted in volume by a part of the north equatorial current that sweeps along outside the West Indian Islands and the Bahamas, and while this current is slow in movement in comparison to the Gulf Stream itself, it doubtless carries a much greater number of heat units to help warm up northern Enrope. .“The Gulf Stream, or rather the com- bined flow mentioned above, divides as it meets the resistance of the Eastern Continent, one branch flowing south along the African coast, while the other pro- ceeds northward into the Arctic toward Spitzbergen and Franz Joseph Land. “It is difficult for the mind to gragp the immensity of this great ocean river. politan London, the largest city in the world, but a territory scarcely a square mile in extent.
