WASTE IN COAL MINE UNSOLVED State Geologist Says Indiana Field Needs Remedy. Improved methods of mining coal are eliminating much waste In Indiana, but there continues a large percentage of loss, according to a report issued by W. N. Logan, state geologist. Mr. Logan estimates that approximately 26,">00.000 tons of coal are mined In Indiana annually. He says waste here is greater than In other bituminous fields. “In some states the waste has been reduced to 50 per cent of the coal mined, but the waste has not been reduced to this minimum in Indiana," Dr. Logan says. “And while the waste has been much greater In the past than it is at present, there is need cf much greater Improvement.” Waste in coal mining may be connected with the system of mining or it may be independent of the system, according to •the report. The chief. sources of waste in mining coal arc: Not robbing the pillars in the room and pillar system; unclean mining In the strip pit method; leaving coal containing partings in any system; producing unrecorered culm, leaving coal around horsebacks, bells, etc., and mining lower beds before upper ones. The principal systems of mining employed In Indiana include strip pit method, the room and pillar system and the long wall system. Dr. Logan’s report to the department of conservation shows that higher prices have had a tendency to decrease the waste of fine cbal called culm, now utilized extensively in the industrial plants where there is a demand for coal of low heating power.

Slain While Phonograph Plays Lively Tunes. • NEW YORK, Feb. 3.—Following the brutal murder of Miss Ream Constance Iloxle. a beautiful 17-yeur-old girl, In her home in a fasbltjnable apartment house near Central park, west, while the phonograph was kept playing jazz music to deaden other sounds, the police today threw out a dragnet for a man of the following description: Age, about 35 years; medimu build, black mustache and hair, swarthy complexion; believed to be a foreigner.

Says England Must Rule in Air as on Sea Slogan Sounded by Aviation Head Before Royal Geographical Society. LONDON, Feb. 3.— I "Brittanla must rule the air as she rule* the wave.” That was the slogan sounded by Maj. Gen. Sir Frederick Hugh Sykes, controller general of civil aviation, before the meeting of the Royal Geographical Roclety here last night. High officials of the government, including the Prince of Wales and Winston Spencer Churchill, attended the meeting. Outlining the British air policy, Sykes predicted the next war will open with a battle for supremacy of tie air. At tack and defense will be governed by air strength, he declared. Commercial airplanes, the controller general pointed out, may more easily be converted into bombers than merchant water craft may be made into war vessels. Thus, he urged, commercial nir supremacy is necessary to insure war supremacy. Sykes emphasized the necessity for “all British" air routes, revealing that the British now have a secret, systematic plans for mapping the world’s air lines, especially routes from England to Egypt and Capetown. Several planes will be started over this new route in the near future, he said. Sickness of Employes Hampers Car Service Sickness of employes has seriously impaired street car service.

VISCOUNT GRETS STAND AMAZES HIRAM JOHNSON KANSAS CITY, Mo., Feb. 3.-Senator Hiram Johnson of California today characterized as “astounding’’ the statement in a letter of Viscount Grey, recently made public, that Great Britain does not object to the United States having an equal vote In the league of nations.
