THE COAL SUPPLY In a statement based upon reports . from mining districts, the National Coal Assoeiation dcclaJ’cs that u spite of the long strike ot coal min ers last year, and the transportation difficulties which fallowed. the mi | tional situation us to coal supply •’ | now good." Apparently the associ” tion means by "gnod.'' that person who have tho money arc able tn pro cure enough coal to keep from suffer ing acute distress because of cold. ■ No reference is made to the shortage of anthracite, which lias led to th I seizing of coal in New England or te I prices that mean that some peoph | must make n heavy snerifice in order to keep Hie home warm. A "good" coal situation in the mim . of tlie country ir a situation in which ' there is an adequate supply of coal at a reasonable price. It may be tr.v that at the mines there is now a sti, licient supply at a rate that is fair in view ot the market, demand. Bn' I the price the iu coal bin is high. Th. coal dealers, front mine to bin, nr inclined to shift much of the btam ■, to the railroads, and tile railroad have been unequal to the traffic. There is also conslderalde evident of speculation among coal brokers, and of a tendency to force the market by intimidating retail coal dealers. But no amount of explaining on th. part of the coal trade will shake th • conviction of the public that the on tire industry is on an unsound bash Tlie public is paying for the stril. It is paying for tlie use of railroad equipment which lay idle during thStrike. It is paying for the failure • y the industry to take the initiative !’> educating tlie public to the advan tages of summer coal buying again-! the winter need. The coal indu'.r will, gain nothing by attempting tn convince itself that the public is sat luffed. Tho coal fact-finding commlr. sion is a warning of public determination to see tho industry rofo: mod and the industry’s; best course is t face the faits before it is t ifiyll si ! to pay some attention to public «•<•! I fare. — Indianapolis News What is believed to be the fiftii old eat known living thing in the world Is a giant cypress tree in Winn par ish, Louisiana. This tree, with a! number of others of its kind, stood in a tract of pine timber purchased for logging. The buyer was wise enough to protect (our of titty- aged cypresses. the oldest of which contains 23,000 feet of lumber. One of the four fell in a storm some months ago. Tho three that are left have b-cn turned over to the state conservative department on the single condition that none of them shall be injured. The department propmtes to build a highway Io the spot, so that tourists may visit the trees more easily to pay homage to them. Tlie age o the oldest, in the group is estimated as 2,300 years. A tree in Mexico, one iu the island of Teneriffo, a giant redwood in California and the boabab tree in Senegal arc tlie only known living trees believed to be older. Non-living things of far great er antiquity than this .tree have been found and ha vw> fifed the of clviliSition and added fact; to hi. tory’s pages. They tent h us more of man’s development - that do these venerable trees. There is, nevertheless, much awe in contemplation of any living thing which has withstood 1 -
