And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of His doing. -Psalms 64:9. * The Coming Energy EVENTUALLY there will be no more coal strikes, for the time is coming when there will be no more use for coal. Science is trying to capture the energy of the atom. The atom is the smallest particle of matter. "When the atom is broken up it flies off in the form of electrons, at terrific speed. To give.the bullet the same speed Prof. Le Bon, the great authority on matter and energy, estimates it would require 1,340,000 barrels of powder. Prof. Le Bon also calculates that if the atomic energy in a copper cent could be suddenly released it would he equal to eighty million horsepower. Once science discovers how to uncork this mighty force and at the same time direct its purpose, the world’s problem of work will he solved. Coal mines will be deserted and man will be able, to touch a button for whatever manual labor is desired. But suppose the scientists who are trying to tap the eighty million horsepower in a cent inadvertently pull out the stopper before they are prepared for the consequences. Suppose billions of horsepower are freed. Will the earth be wrecked? That is one of the many problems that make life so interesting. / “Beastly Drunk” YOU have used the expression, “beastly drunk.” Wliat does it mean? You never saw a beast drunk. “Beastly drunk” is an old expression. It started in 1576 from a book written by George Gascoigne. The book has this curious title: “A delicate Diet for daintie mouthed Droonkards, wherein the fowle Abuse of common carowsing and quaffing with hartie Draughtes is honestlie admonished.” All this was 346 years ago. It took a long time to get prohibition. If you wonder what human nature was like in 1576, and would compare it with the present, read this classification of drunkards written by Thomas Nash, English satirist, shortly after Gascoigne published his book: “The first is ape-drunk, and he leaps and sings and hollows and daneeth for the heavens. “The second is lion-drunk, and he flings the pots about the house, breaks the window glass with his dagger, and is apt to quarrel with any man that speaks to him. “The third is swine-drunk, heavy, lumpish, and sleepy, and cries for a little more drink and a few more clhthes. “The fourth is sheep-drunk, wise in his when he bringeth forth a right word. “The fifth is maudlen-drunk, when a fellow will weep for kindness in the midst of his drink, and kiss you, and then he puts his finger in his eye and cries. “The sixth is martin-drunk, when a man is drunk, and cries himself sober ere he stirs. “The seventh is goat-drunk, when in his drunkenness he ,hath no mind but on lechery. “The eighth is fox-drunk, when he is crafty-drunk, which will never bargain but when they are drunk.” Nash adds: “All these species, and more, I have seen practiced in one company at one sitting; when I have been permitted to remain sober amongst them only to note their several humours.” A bartender, reading Nash’s satire, would chuckle and recall that all these drunken types were common only a few years ago in onr saloons. Nash’s satire is a clever classification of the temporary insanity that accompanies John Barleycorn. People were noticing it, when Nash lived in the sixteenth o^ntury—also long before that. The wonder is, not that we have prohibition, but that it didn’t come centuries ago. An Editorial by “Coal Age” (Official Organ of the Coal Trade.) NE great question of the immediate future is; ‘What if operations are resumed; the railroads will he unable to haul enough coal to supply more than half the country’s demand, with the result that most mines will get very little running time,’ ‘‘This means, without doubt, that coal prices are going to stay in the clouds. j “A series of questions to operators on the probable price at .which they will start their coal on the market elicits a few vague replies. Some set the. figure for southern Illinois coal as low as $3.65. Others declare they must recoup the losses occasioned by the shutdown and the attendant expense of building up their organizations again after resumption. These mention $4.50 and $5. “Others are getting all the market will stand. They boldly declare the country needs coal so badly and will he able to satisfy 60 little of its demand that Illinois and Indiana coals will match up with western Kentucky coal, which already has passed the $6 point and may reach $7 unless there is immediate production of coal from other fields.”

POWERS LIKELY TO EXTEND CULL OUTSIDEGRQUP Plans of Lloyd George-Poincare Meeting Assume Greater Magnitude. NOTION DRAWS FAVOR Pointed Out Premiers Believe Progress Would Be More Substantial. By RALPH TVRSERR United News Staff Correspondent. LONDON, July 27. —Original plans for the coming conference between Premier Lloyd George and Poincare have grown more and more ambitious until it appears the meeting will develop into a email peace conference. There seems to be belief here that the gathering will be, virtually, of che allied supreme council. Apparently the two premiers believe more progress can be' made by having the supreme council in the discussions. Decisions then could be made with finality. SHOULD ADMIT GERMANY League Needs Membership, Briton De clares. By United News LONDON. July 27.—Great Britain’s view that Germany should be admitted to the League of Nations at the September meeting was voiced by H A. L. Fisher, one of England’s dele gates to the league, in an address at the twenty-second meeting of the In ternational Peace Congress. As representative of the government, Fisher told delegates Great Brit ain believed the present division of the world into opposing camps, of vie tor and vanquished, against the In terests of civilization. SOVIET SCORES FRANCE Believes Allies Wrecked The Hague Conference. By United Net cs BERLIN, July 27.—Russia intends i to approach the various European 1 powers individually regarding eco- j nomic. and political understandings ! instead of trying to deal with them i collectively through conferences, M. Litvinoff of the Soviet foreign office, declared in discussing plans, in view of failure of The Hague conference. The Soviet clings to the idea that the allies deliberately wrecked The Hague meeting. ■'Russia is willing to acknowledge her debts and do like France, who recognizes them. but doesn't say when she is going to pay them,” Litvinoff observed sarcastically. THE REFEREE By ALBERT APPLE PENALTY Martin Smith, a “lifer” at Sing Sing, drops dead of heart disease. He .had served fourteen years of his sentence. During that time he never had a f B visitor at the prison. it/* ,gjHL There is tragedy for \ KW you ’ STeater than any \ created in the irnaglLAAgMk nation of Eugene Sue L 1 or Maupassant. APPLE The criminal’s greatest penalty is loneliness—compulsory solitude. In jail or out, he lives under cover, his soul traveling through life alone without that priceless Joy—human companionship and exchange of confidences. FALSE ALARMS Ed Howe, greatest country editor, observes that America is running too strongly to false alarms. A petty difficulty frequently masquerades as a crisis. After running ourselves out of byeath, following the fire engines, wa usually find that it’s a small blaze or a falso alarm. This tendency toward false alarms is a natural result of the public nervousness that follows every big war. And generally the things we feax most are im&ginery. Time will cure. TERRIBLE One of the saddest penalties of the World War Is that it haa produced a great crop of orators. Professor Covington of Princeton University, says that the wave of public speaking is customary during ‘‘times of national crises.” In trouble, most people talk too much. Surely, an epidemic of eloquence as a result of war is the last possible argument in favor of disarmament. Out of 100 people, 95 do not enjoy speeches, though 90 will not admit it for fear of not being thought intellectual. /

RUSHING By DR. R. 11. BISHOP. ~ ———- p a jj y OUr ruling §to dress, to eat, to work and to appolntments and rushing home from work again, how much do you estimate is absolutely necessary? Very' little, probably. The hurry habit is often the forerunner and chief cause of nervous breakdowns and ill-health. You will find it an almost invariable rule that the man who is always In a hurry bolts his meals, tires his body and strains his nervous system. In general, the hurry habit causes much fatigue, an underlying cause of a great deal of sickness. An exhausted body offers little resistance to the attacks of disease germs. Hard work never hurt any one, but hurry and hard work cannot be com bined. The hardest workers should be the most apprehensive of their health. Ir preventing bodily fatigue, a great deal depends upon the rate of speed at wh'.'ch the muscles are required tc work. Working steadily but not toe Rist, the muscles have the chance to throw off the refuse products, at the same time bringing in new fuel or energy for further work. Rest is the great repairer of muscles. It gives the muscles the time which they must have to get rid of their poisons and replace their small store of energy.

Potentiometer Aids Adjusting of **A ” Battery With “B” Cell

By PAUL F. GO DLL 7. America's Foremost Radio Authority. To nil those who are using vacuum tubes in their radio work, the use of the rheostat for adjustment of filament currents is well known. But there seem to be many who do not understand or appreciate the utility of the device which is known as the ‘‘A’’ battery potentiometer for adjustment of the ”B” battery. For this work potentiometers of various types have been tried. In the main they have consisted of a high-resistance unit, which was placed either in series with, or In shunt to, the "B” battery. When in series, much larger batteries than “(ID & ftv \ —- H’l'H T_ t T CONNECTING POTENTIOMETER FOR ADJUSTMENT OF "B” BATTERY. the normal ones were necessary to overcome the added resistance of the unit. . When in shunt, due to the high voltage employed in the plate circuits of the tube, considerable energy was wasted In the potentiometer unit. This was particularly objectionable since the capacity of the battery commonly called upon for this work was very small—-often of the flashlight battery size. Connection The “A" battery potentiometer Is connected directly across the "A" or filament lighting battery. This bat.

Jury case laws In each State. For five years the bar association has been working on this plan. Its result would be to make the status of any case the same in one State as in another and would be of Inestimable aid to the legal profession. Taft on ‘‘Law’s Delay” The case of the "law’s delay” will be presented by William Howard Taft, Chief Justice and former President. Justice Taft has recently completed an exhaustive survey of English court procedure with a view of simplifying and speeding up American courts.

It enables the addition to or the subtraction from the “B” battery of the "A” battery voltage.

To the Editor o / The Times No bulletin from the city hall has | ever assorted that Mayor Shank was sprouting angel feathers; but. for my part-—as a reader of all three city papers—l am thoroughly tired of having some preacher or self-elected representative of so-called respectability take a “dig” at His Honor. Everybody knew all about Lew Shank when they made him mayor; and I think that Lew is just as good as any man who voted for him, and a blamed sight better than a good many who did ! not. One thing can be said for Mr. j Shank, namely, that he is transparently what he is. You cannot Charge him i with any hypocrisy.

Fighting Crime Wave ‘‘Means of combating crime waves j through the courts will be outlined !by the legislation committee. A per--1 sonai study has been made in Eastern i cities and criminals have had a chance i to express their views to individual ini vestigators. "I think, personally, there haa been i too much mollycoddling of criminals, too much evasion of jury duty by our better class citizens, failure of citizens j to use their powers of suffrage, and too many handicaps placed upon pres- ; ontatlon of cases by district attorneys, j “Such things encourage crime.

I Jim Jeffries or Jack Dempsey blow if he should accidentally cuss some time. I do not defend, excuse, or extenuate any of those things; but I emphatically say two things: First —If the Rev. Gunsolus and a few more preachers would spend more i time praying for Lew Shank and other s.nners and a little less time cussing them, perhaps a few more of them would be saved, and the churches would be filled without tHe preacher trying to do everything In God's dear universe but preach the gospel. Second —For my part. I have more respect for an "out and out" sinner who doesn't indulge in any "pretense” and wno has in his breast a heart as big as a Georgia watermelon than I have for a pious fraud whose chief concern is his salary and an opportunity to get newspaper space that he cannot gain by the expiotation of sensationalism and mountebankery on his merits The churches in these days are not in a position to throw rocks at anybody or anything. Their chief concern should be the recovery of a heart of a sympathy for sinners (such as their j Master, the “Friend" of sinners, exi hibited when here on earth) and the I restoration to their hands of that strange and earth-sweeping Power of God’s Spirit which was so manifest in the early days of the church, and the utter absence of which is the conspicuous weakness of every service of the present day church, whether held in a church building or a tabernacle. If Gunsolus will get on his knees and let Shank alone he will build up a real church and not an annex to the | Ku-Klux Klan. LESLIE LEE SANDERS.

The British miner, with memories of a long and bitter coal war here, during which small shipments of fuel were received from the United States, is powerless at present to assist United Mine Workers in their strike, union officials announced today. Rancor against American miners, felt deeply when the walkout was on in this country, haa passed. Exchange visits between leaders have convinced the British that it was non-union ooai that came to New Castle during the post-war strikes. International unionism. probably more highly felt here than in the United States, finds in the collieries here sympathetic response to the American strike. Huge coal reserves, piled up slnoe settlement of the trouble here rendered the miners unable to aid by refusing to mine coal for export.

MILLION PERSONS SEEK PLEASURES TOURMTI' Automobile Association Report Shows Yankees Gasoline Hoboes. EAST AND WEST MEET Better Understanding of Other Localities Results, Say Officials. Times Staff Correspondent. WASHINGTON, July 27.—This is “tin-can tourist” year. More than a million Americans are on the road now, chugging about seeing the country, most of them camping as they go. At tourist centers all records have been broken by this year’s trek of automobile excursionists. . That’s what officials of the National Park Service, at the American Automobile Association headquarters, and other Government departments, have to say. The American is becoming a regular gasoline hobo. With more than 6, 000,000 automobiles in use In the country, one in ten is fitted cut with camp equipment and is purring cross* A country at this time of year, * This unprecedented summertime migration of automobillsts Is credited by authorities here to several new conditions which have arisen to tempt folks on “seeing America first” expeditions all over the country. First, there is the tremendous increase in the number of good roads extending over practically the entire country- Second, the drop In the price of automobiles. Third, railroad rates are higher than ever before. Finally, trips to Europe all unsatisfactory, owing to unsettled conditions and too many regulations abroad. High priced gasoline did not deter the “tin-can tourists” from satisfying their wanderlust. Figures compiled by the Department of the Interior show that the “gas” consumption broke all records last month. Government officials say the craze for touring creates a better understanding of the country and Its problems. “The man from the West camps at night around the same open bonfire with the man from the East, and one from the South, and possibly another from the North.” remarked Director of National Parks Stephen T. Mather. The National Park Service, taking cognizance of the general summertime automobile migration, laid out dozens of model camp-sites, with water, fuel and sanitary equipment for campers. LEARN A WORD TODAY Today s word is RECALCITRANT. It’s pronounced re-kal-si-trant, with accent on the second syllable. I It means—kicking back, kicking against anything, rejecting vehemently, obstinately noncompliant, showing repugnance or opposition, refractory. It comes from a combination of the Latin prefix “re,” signifying among other things, back or backward, and the Latin word “calcitrare,” to kick: hence, to kick back. It's used like this—“ The recalcitrants, on both sides, have blocked all plans thus far, looking toward settlement of the rail and mine strikes.”
