BIBLE THOUGHT
Forbearing one another, and forgiv
ing one another, if any man have a
quarrel against any—Col. 3:13.
To forgive a fault in another is more
sublime than to lie faultless one s sell
George Sand.
THE COAL
WE WASTE! f
The comnrercial and economic genius of
America is due for ah awakening. It is
an economic crime to burn coal for heat
nlonc.
The lesson is to citne troin Europe,
coni is precious, where it is sclc.oni burned,
where coal is made to give up valuable oiii
and gasses before it linn illy goes into tbc fir
ns coke.
European authorities are bringing tbc lea
non acro«» fo ns. 1 hey will convene at
Pittsburg soon at a special coal conference
called by the Carnegie Institute of 1 eth
nology. The meeting is called because tin
scientists of America are beginning to hav
fears for our future fuel supply.
At the present rale of consumption our
proven sands will yield a sufficient supply
of oil for only six more years, some expe : '5
contend. That is something to worry about.
Prof. Franz Fischer of Germany is res
pontible for a method by which coal is ic
ducad to a gaseous form and then liquified
into various components. One of these is
mefjtnnol. a satisfactory substitute for wood
alcq|)ol. Another is synthol. which is equn
to $ high test gasoline. And recently ii<
has obtained a substitute for benzine.
General Georges f’ntnrt of fiance lias <
process similar to the l-ischer method,
large American chemical company already
has obtained rights to the exclusive use of
it here.
Another German scientist coming to the
convention is Dr. Frederick Bergius, inventor
of the Bergin method of producing oil frotn
coal. By this method coal is reduced to a
paste and combined with hydrogen at high
temperature and high pressure. Die result
ing fluid has all the properties of crude pe
troleum and must he treated the same way
to get gasoline and other products of crude
oil.
-All three of tlyrtr processes merely heat
0(e coal, get tUr oils and gasses out of it
40 d leave ihcC remainder to be burned as
Kiel.
* Otic ton of soft coal burned in the house
<« *■
hold creates an enormous amount of smoke
,md grime. But take that coal dirt arid re
itrrove from it JOB!) cubic feet of gasses for
lighting and other purposes, four gallons i,
light oil. 25 gallons of tar and 12 ponds
of ammonia, and you have left a low tem
|»«rature coke which is not only clean bur
highly V suitable for household heating.
It looks as if we've Keen rather foolish with
qpnl in America.

President's introductory sentence is refresh

Gome to think of it. right now is a good
me for Griffin to locate and begin to im

HE WEIGHT OF
CONGRESSMEN
Speaker Nicholas Longworth insists there
re no more dumb Doras—or, if you like,
o mote, dumb Donalds in Congress today
iaiV usual.
He rece.lls that the same history -of the
,
rowes o f tlie Congressmen of which Clay,
incoln. Blaine. Crisp. Carlisle and Randall
ere mighty membres also bears witness !
lat at tlie time of their very might, the public
ommented on the weak caliber of its law i
takers generally.
Hie obvious crollary is that today s critics
f our Congress who hark back to the ood
-Id days when Congresses were real Com- I
•resses. when men like Clay and Blaine and
,'risp wrote history in letters of tire will be
.onfounded in a decade or so by laurels flung
it this congress of l*)26. and a moving plea
rrade again for statesmen such as it boasts. i
After all. what about this business of a |
iniformly heavyweight Congress? Should the I
.everal score men who sit in that great con
(icssion held down there in Wnshigton be
■rch and everyone a "great mind? |
We as nation are not uniformly heavy
/eights, mentally speaking, Is it alltogethci
fair that the average man or woman
■
inly an average group of things should be
zrescribcd for exclusively by geniuses who
"look beyond tbc ranges?’
The argument, of course. is that the really
big men recognizes the common good and, !
.mows how to leaven his prescription for'
intellectual giants with the mead that stockici
•tuff enjoys. But do they?
Our very method of sending men to Con
press intends largely that the men there be
but mouthpieces of the constituency nt home —
dumb Donalds and Doras in their thoughts,
-heir desires.
I hough ihc mental giants laugh at him.
naybe more or less of him is a good thing.
