WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.—Legends, urging sane and wise buying, flashed on movie screens throughout the United States, was perhaps the most potent single force in lowering the high cost of living, Attorney General Palmer said, discussing his department's achievements in lighting profiteering. “The movie became a powerful force to encourage thrift and cautious buying by the public,” Palmer said. “Movjng picture owners used our slides continually and it had a tremendous effect tn bringing home to the people the great lesson of economy?’’ Criminal prosecutions failed to do what the “Patch ’Em and Wear ’Em" clubs did in the fight against extravagant buying of clothing at. high prices, Palmer said. The molding of public sentiment In the direction of sane buying developed a “consumer’s strike’’ against the profiteers more far-reaching for good than all the criminal lases brought In Federal courts. “The Attorney General attributes much of his success against profiteering to work of local fair price committees which were exceptionally vigilant wherever they functioned to keep down extortion upon tne public.

FOREIGN COAL DEMAND IS HIT BY BIG SLUMP Orders for Millions of Tons Cancelled by Buyers in Pittsburgh Area. PRICE BREAKS READY' PITTSBURGH. Jan. 3.—The sudden collapse of the coal market in the last two weeks has resulted In the cancelling of contracts for millions of tons of soft coal made by foreign buyers with operators In western Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia. It is the most disastrous slump ever known and the market is pretty well demoralized. Tho price of export coal has been broken from the extreme high of sl4 a ton several weeks ago to around $3.50 u ton today, and In some instances even lower than that. Demand is very light. Now the producer hunts the buyer. For merly the buyer went hat In hand hunting producers who could sell him coal at almost any price they might demand. Bankers attribute the unsettled International credit situation, Improved railroad transportation and increased coal production as responsible for the present situation. Operators say the situation cannot become much worse or there will be a suspension of production as they cannot mine coal under $3 a ton. EXPORT COAL DRUG ON MARKET. Pool 34, the grade of coal for which there has beon an unprecedented demand by exporters during the last six months, is now a drug on the market. This coal is mined In western Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Inquiries received by local operators lndicute that the export buyers are devoting their attention almost exclusively to the Pocahontas (W. Va.) grado of fuel known to the trade as Pool No. 1 and 2. Contracts for about 5,000,000 tons o£ this coal were reported signed lu Pittsburgh early this week by tho French and Italian governments at a price of $K.25 and $8.70 a gross ton, tidewater. The contracts cover a long period os to delivery. Order* cancelled for the so-called Pool 54 coal mean a loss of $100,080,000, according to the estimate of one Pittsburgh operator. The tremendous break in the coal market recalls the boom days in the early siages of the World War. FORTUNES MADE IN 1918 AND 1917. Within a radius of seventy five miles of Pittsburgh Is the greatest soft coal producing center in the world. There are thousands of mines, big and little. Along about 1916 and 1917 the demand was tei: times the supply. Man who knew something about the coai game and some who didn't made fortunes Its those days. They dug up a horse or two, a wagon and opened up a one man mine along side of some hill. It was a common thing ' for these one-man mtue outfit* to clean up SIOO to $l5O a day. Nobody disturbed them. They were looked upon ns playing a piker game by the big coal producing outfits. Anybody that could produce a pound of coal found twenty buyers for every ton he could produce. The little fellows rolled in wealth quickly. Some were enterprising and soon some of tiie oneman mines developed Into two and three end even half a dozen men mines and tli* profits were enormous. Though they were greatly handicapped for lack of modern labor-saving devices, the little follows made fortunes with their team.* hauling coal to the railroads and loJd ing ytie car at a time. Through western Pennsylvania there nre hunlredu, prob ably thousands who amassed good sixoJ fortunes during the boom days in coal. Then tbo big operator* later shut dow-n on the little fellows and squeezed them out. The last straw came when, after a long and bitter fight, the Pennsylvania Public Service Commission ruled that mine* that didn't have tipples (loading shutetj couldn't get cars. But those who saved their money in the boom days need not worry for the rest of their live*. They will have enough. Now It is the turn of the Mg producers to be squeezed and squeezed hard. Coal at $3.50 a ton is virtually back to pre-war prices.

FRANCE TO OUST RADICAL ALIENS Authorities Eager to Get Rid of Undesirables. PARIS, Jan. 3.—Energetic measures are to bo taken here to round up all undesirable foreigners who since the war have Invaded France. Police services are to lie completely reorganized and any foreigner found whose status is not regleinentary to tho customs of 1* ranee will be deported Immediately. Figures published recently show that there are In Paris some 200.000 foreigners. In this number are Included 1,800 Germans, 22,000 Americans, 4.000 Argentinians, 2,000 Armenians, 25,000 Britishers, 13,000 Spaniards, 39,000 Italians 7,000 Luxemburger*!, 27,000 Swiss, 800 Austrians, SOO Chinese, 200 P.ulgartana, 1,500 Danes, 4,000 Hollanders, #,OOO Greeks. 1.100 Syrians, 22,000 Russians, 10,000 Rumanians and 2.000 Czechs. These figures represent blit those who have registered with the French police. They do not Include tourists. Added, however, to this large number are tliotfsands of others who live burled away in filthy hovels of tho city. .Most of them have bad to flee their own country and are wanted by the police. Others are voluntary exiles from their home country. In certain parts of Paris, veritable small colonies exist where French is hardly ever spoken, where shops are managed by foreigners, where even the newspapers are printed in foreign languages. One such colony exists in the Latin quarter around the rue ties Hosiers, where, hundreds of Itusfllans and Poles live. Other foreigners nnd even Parisians ’ passing through those districts are considered strangers, often insulted, sometimes attacked and robbed. Steps were once taken to arrest and deport these foreigners, but in most cases French laws were found inapplicable. Some have been deported out of the country. They were usually accompanied to the Belgian frontier and left there. The Belgian authorities, in their turn, found most of these people undesirable and promptly deported them back to France. Now arrangements are to be made whereby they will be sent across Germany to that country’s eastern frontiers. No difficulty Is encountered in the case of Spaniards, Italians, Swiss, etc., ns they are usually left at their respective frontiers and rarely find their way back into France Larger Guard Planned BOSTON, Jan. 3.—The National Guard of Massachusetts will soon be recruited to the strength of a division numbering 10,000 officers and enlisted men. This division will be ready, it is reported, In time to accompany Vice President-elect Cooiidge to the inauguration ceremonies in March.

ENGLAND TAKES LEAD IN FLYING Steady Strides Made in Commercial Overseas. LONDON, Jan. 3.—Steady Improvement of air organization in England is reflected in the report just issued by the controller general of civil aviation. The aggregate machine mileage since May, 1919, is well over a million, passengers have increased and the increase In tonnage of goods from 25 to 86 tons Is a big achievement. Several new schemes are under consideration, one for a new’ air port on tho Medway, another for the use of the Thames above the Houses of Parliament as n base for airplanes on mail service. Two more experimental lighthouse* are to be put up, one at Lymphe and one midway between London and Folkstone, and later the civil aerodromes at Manchester and Renfrew- will be equipped. Important experiments have been conducted by the Department of Research into the development of several new types of power plant, and if these are success ful it will enable a fuel of a higher flash point to l>e used, thus making for safety and cheapness. Several new designs of aircraft are being produced which will enable engine trouble to be adjusted during night, and other investigations are being carried out to see how far mist and fog and can be dispersed by mechanical means. On the estimated expenditure 52.000,000 lias been saved. This is largely due to the postponement of tho opening up of routes abroad, the disturbances In Mesopotamia and Near East, temporarily obstructing the provision of the CalroKarachi route. HOTEL RATES INVESTIGATED Congress Looks Into Charges in Washington. WASHINGTON. .Tan. 3.—Congres* Is Lot on the trail of the Washington bonifaces. Investigation of hotel rates is under way and there promises to lie congressional notion to regulate, rates In tho <apltol city during the period of Senator Harding's inauguration. The ire of Senators has been aroused by reports that these rates are going to dwarf all previous charges and may set hostelrles. Senator Spencer of Missouri hao started (lie ball rolling. He innocently called one of the capital’s leading caravan series on behalf of a friend and inquired what their rates would tie for "two rooms and bath” for inauguration day. He was promptly Informed, so report hn* It, that any reservation of this sort would have to be made for seven days, and that the charge for the entire period would fie $250. Whereupon there was a beetle atmosphere In the immediate vi- ' Inity of one Senate commute room in the Capitol, and one Missourlau decided that he would have "to be shown.” He was joined in this resolve by several other Senators who heard the story. "If the Wahington hotels are going to snake any blanket rule that all reservations for the Inauguration are to be for a period of se\en days, when as a matter of fact the inaugural ceremonies are concluded in a single day, we might ns well know) It now nnq prepare according!*." declares one Senator. ”1 do not know what Congress can do about It, but I do snow that there is going to be a real indignation meeting of Senators In the near future If this rule is ascertained to be a fact." From other sources various rumors are afloat In the capitol that there Is to ba JUT "orgy of profiteering" in the city in the Inaugural period. Just what -tops are to be taken to combat it have not been determined upon. It was suggested by one Senator that the inaugural committer might have some Influence with local business men in persuading them to place their charges on a moderate basis. It is possible even that Senator Harding may he commuui rated with In regard to the matter, since the possibility that thousands of visitors to the city may receive such treatment from a small minority of unscrupulous Inn and restaurant keepers as to consfl tute a “rational disgrace" has not been overlooked.

Mother Recognizes Soliciting Agent as Missing Son WILKES BARRIE, Jan. 3—Psychologists who were provided with unusual cases for study by the World War have turned their attention to the little mining town of Plymouth, near WilkesBarre, where Charlie Walton, aged 20. has Just been reunited with his mother nine years' absence. A most peculiar twist of fate, with the aid of the compensation department of the Greater Wilkes Barra Chamber of Commerce brought about the reunion. Charlie is home with seventeen wounds in his body, his mind partially blank, nnd a service record which shows that he fought bravely for a time nnd then disappeared, after spending nine months in n hospital in France. DIDN'T KNOW HOME TOWN. In a weakened mental nnd physical condition he arrived in Plymouth, not knowing it was his home town, and approached his own mother's doorstep as a canvasser. Ills mother thought she recognized him, hut fainted from the excitement and her son was gone when she regained consciousness. When revived sho continued her search and, with the aid of the Chamber of Commerce, found her boy again one week later. Speaking of his strange disappearance nine years ago, she said: “I remember sending Charlie for a pail of coal on n winter evening about 5 o'clock, nine years ago. It was growing dusk and when he did not return in an hour I called for help. Near our house the river was frozen, but neighbors found a hole in the ice and said Charlie bad fallen through. They gave him up for dead. But not I. I asked the police around here to help and nave always believed he would come back. But, fearing that he might be in the river, I never missed a Decoration day when I did not place a small box of flowers into the river to decorate the grave that was possibly his. PUT SERVICE FLAG IN HER WINDOW. “During the war I put a service flag tn my window and neighbors wondered, but 1 (Ibl it because I believed I had ft boy in service. In fact, I have had visions of him in uniform and have suffered terribly, believing that he was being abused. “The boy knocked on my door last Tuesday. I saw that he was selling pictures. There was another older man with him and I told them I did not want any w-ork done. There seemed to tie something between me and that boy and we chatted for a short time. He spoke of his mother and said, 'lf I had a picture of hpr I might find her. I don't know where she is because I can't ramember where I lived before the war.' 1 told him I had lost a son and asked him what his first name was. He said ‘Charlie.’ That was enough. 1 fainted. Neighbors carried me into the house and told me when I came to that Charlie had been taken away by the older man, but promised to come back.’^ The son was located later in Wilkesbarre and his ldoaiity fully established.

S.—Efforts to rid State hatcheries of "gill fever," comonly known as “flu," have at last met with success, according to pathologists of the State Fish and Game Department, who were engaged to stamp out the epidemic, which caused the death of several thousand baby trout and salmon this summer. Medicine in t e form of chemicals which will kill; he foreign bacteria is one form of trej uent which has proved successful. Fln| patients in the "sick bays" or “hospil ponds” are also given antiseptic baths .. „jn iu the first stages of the disease. Gill fever is caused by lack of oxygen in the "water-habitat of the fish, which results in inflammation of tho gills, according to the pathologists. Psychologist Says Bright Boys Smoke PORTLAND, Ore. Jan. 3. ‘The brightest boys In the Baltimore schools are smokers,” according to Dr. Gardner C. Basset, psychologist of Reed College in this city. Small boys in Sunday school are taught that smoking will make them dull. "Doubtless true,” state 1 Dr. Basset, “but statistics prove that the youngster who is full of initiative and vigor is almost sure to smoke some tlma during his early years. The Baltimore health board’s annual report discloses the fact that the youngsters who smoko nre from one to three years ahead u. their nonsmoking companions.” The statistics, according to the Reed College psychologist, do not argue for smoking, but they show that the bright boy is apt to test the weed early.

PORT LAND, Ore., Jan. 3. —Portland Is to have another world’s fair. The summer of 1925 has been selected by local business men as the time for the exposition. Portland's first world's fair was the Lewls-and-Cl:irk exposition of 1905, commemorating the hundredth anniversary of the discovery of the Columbia River, and for that matter the whole of the inland empire of Idaho, Washington, Oregon and Montana. Although the new proposed world’s fair was first broached as a "peace- and progress” exposition, it is now being considered as an ocean-to-ocean highway celebration. It is also planned to make It an electrical fair in an effort to display before the world the wonderful hydroelectric possibilities of the Pacific northwest. It Is practically certain that a pave ( <J highway from the Columbia River ?> the Atlantic tidewater will be completed by 1923, and the proposed exposition will be to celebrate the joining of the roseway of Portland, Ore., with the elm-cov-ered streets of Portland, Me., as well as other large Eastern cities. It is proposed to make the wedding of highways the motif for the first great world's fair to be held following tha world fair. Articles of incorporation are being prepared and will be filed wivh the State authorities as soon as possible. Julius L.
