COIL NH CONFER
< ONHOOVER PLANS
WASHINGTON, June 15.—Coal
operators and dealers complying
with the administration’s plan for
voluntary price restraint during the
present strike, were here today to
' confer with Secretary Hoover on
steps for bringing into line the mi
nority in the producing and distrib
uting branches of the industry who
have failed to co-operate in the plan.
Because of the non-compliance of
the operators and dealers in some
districts, Mr. Hoover said in ex
plaining the necessity for the con
ference, the average spot prices for
bituminous coal, after declining
from $3.67 to $3.08 a ton when the
. voluntary plan was put out, had in
creased again on June 12, to $3.44.
This was due to the fact, he said,
that these operators are dealers en-
< couraged by the “criticism of the
plan to believe it may be broken
down, and that the alternative of leg
islation will give them great delays,
are making all the hay they can in
the meantime.” In some districts
which have refused to accept the
voluntary program, the secretary
ii.Mdd, the price has risen as much
• as $5 a ton.

THE ATLANTA TRI-WEEKLY JOURNAL
SABBATH SCHOOL LESSON
For June 18. II Kings 25:1-21 1
BY DR. MARION McH. HULL z
Nebuchadnezzar began his siege
of Jerusalem on the 10th day of the
10th month of the 9th year of
Zedekiah’s reign, and the city fell
on the 9th day of the 4th month of
the 11th year of his reign—lß
months lacking one day. It was
during those 18 months that Jere
miah was cast into the mire about
which we studied last week. The
suffering of those months was in
tense. How long do you suppose
the people of Atlanta, could sub
sist if an army should surrqund it
and cut off all communications with
the outside? A railroad strike that
would tie up freight deliveries and
prevent the transportation of sup
plies would be a serious menace to
the life of this people within less
than one month. But Jerusalem
was cut off for 18 months until
there was no food in the city.
The conditions which the famine
created may be learned from La
mentations. Jeremiah wept as he
saw sucking babes with their
tongues cleaving to the roof of the
mouth for thirst; mothers boiling
their own children for fdbd; wom
en raised in luxury picking grains
of what from the dung dropped in
the streets; and the Nazarites noted
for their beauty all wizened and
black with hunger and starvation,
unrecognizable in the streets.
Weakened by hunger the defend
ers of the walls were not able to
resist the attacks of the enemy.
Finally a breach was made in the
north wall of the city and Zede
kiah and his army escaped by a
gate in the south wall, hoping to
go by the way of the plain and
get out of the reach of the Chal
deans. His escape was by night just
jts Ezekiel had prophesied. Over in
Babylon Ezekiel had digged a hole
through a wall and after covering
his eyes with a scarf crawled through
the wall. When asked what he was
doing, he said God had told him to
do that to show how the king
would escape out of Jerusalem, by
qight and through a secret gate.
But Zedekiah did npt escape. His
little children may have been an
impediment to speed—he was only
32 years old and his children must
have been small—he was overtaken
by the Chaldeans on his way to
Jericho- and was delivered to Ne
buchadnezzar up at Riblah; for the
Babylonian king was carrying on
sieges at Tyre and Lacish and
other points north at the same
time and had established headquar
ters at Riblah.
Nebuchadnezzar was not likely to
show a great deal of mercy to a
man whom he had elevated to the
throne and who had turned against
him and had resisted an invasion of
a year and a half, expensive as that
must have been in men and means.
Nor did he. The unhappy weakling
who had been on the throne was
made to see each of his sons tor
tured to death and then to see the
death of each of his cabinet officers
and military advisers; then a red
hot iron was applied to each of his
eyes, he was bound in chains, and
carried captive to Babylon to exist
there and to die there- Thus was
fulfilled literally another prophecy
of Ezekiel’s, which seemed an im
possibility at the time. Zedekiah
was to see the of Babylon face
to face (Jer. 32:4) and to be taken
to Babylon but ‘ not see it (Ezek.
12:13). This literally happened.
The City Devastated
Through the breach in the walls
of Jerusalem the mighty Chaldeans
poured and devastated the city.
Nebuzaradan, the general in charge,
turned the soldiers loose. Every
thing that was at all valuable was
taken—all the rest of the vessels of
the temple, the laver of brass which
Solomon had made, the snuffers and
bowls and spoons and shovels, the
brazen bulls under the laver, the
wonderful pillars of Solomon,
Jachin and Boaz—the masterpieces
of Hiram’s art. The houses of the
rich and of the nobles were also
rifled. The sepulchres also were
robbed of their treasures.
But this was not the worst—the
people were horribly handled. No
horror was spared. Old irien were
slain; old women brutally murdered;
young women and maidens were
violated; priests were murdered in
the sanctuary. Blood flowed in
rivers in the sacred city. There is
a legend that the Chaldean officer
himself was terrified at the horrible
human, slaughter and ordered it to
cease.
Then the city was devoted to de
struction. The temple, the palace,
and the houses of all the noblemen
were burned, and great breaches
made in the walls. The city of
David was a mass of ruins!
Not only was the city destroyed,
but it was depopulated. The mas
sacre left but few, and these were de
ported. All the artisans were taken
away to build for Nebuchadnezzar
and to prevent them rebuilding Je
rusalem. None wera. left except the
poor of the land who were consider
ed worthless and harmless. But to
show how complete had been the de
struction, the total number car
ried captive was only 832.
Psa. -79:1-4 gives a vivid descrip
tion of the scene: O God, the heathen
are come unto thine inheritance.
Thy holy temple they have defiled;
They have laid Jerusalem on heaps.
The dead bodies of thy servants
have they given to be meat unto
the fowls of the heaven;
The flesh of thy saints unto the
beasts of the earth.
Their blood have they shed like wa
ter round about Jerusalem;
And there was none to bury them.
We are become a reproach to our
neighbors,
A scorn and a derision to them that
are round about us.
A Remnant Saved and Lost
Nebuchadnezzar had had his fill
of royal blood. H® would not try
another one of them, so he made
Gedaliah, the grandson of Shaphan
and the son of Aklham, Jeremiah’s
friend and protector, as governor
over the land. Gedaliah established
his residence at M. ,>ah, as Jerusa
lem was no longer habitable.
Jeremiah was given his choice
by Nebuchadnezzer —he might go to
Babylon and live In ease and lux
ury the balance of his life, or he
might stay in Judea if he cared.
He had been carried to Ramah in
chains, and from thence saw the
captives stjtrt on their way to Baby
lon. He seems to have hesitated a
moment and then chose to remain
with his. people. As he saw the cap
tives leave, he wept. "A voice was
heard in Ramah, lamentation and
bitter weeping; Rachel weeping for
her children refused to be com
forted, etc.”—Jer. 31:15-17.
Ebedmelech was also given his
life, and Baruch. Zedekiah’s daugh
ters —young girls—were also spared.
It is hard to know how they escaped
the violating and muderous hand of
the Chaldeans. These gathered at
Mizpah to Gedaliah. Other Jews,
who had fled before the Chaldeans
began the siege heard of Gedeliah’s
governorship and returned to the
country, and found large estates un
occupied and seized them.
Their prosperity, however, was
short lived. Ishmael, of the royal
blood (probably by liis mother) foul
ly murdered Gedaliah and his de
fenders, but had to flee for his own
life later. The princes who were
left still looked to Egypt for help,
and finally came to Jeremiah to ask
him to find out God’s will for them,
whether they should go to Egypt.
After ten days Jeremiah told them
they should not go and rebuked
them for their hypocrisy in
asking God what to do when they
had already made up their minds as
to what they were going to do.
Forcibly they took Jeremiah and
Baruch and the king’s daughters
with them and went to Daphne in
Egypt. Here, according to Jere
miah’s prophecy, Nebuchadnezzar
came, and pitched his tent on the
very spot where they were placed
—and the last of the kingdom of
Judah was taken. The only rem
nant left were the captives in
Babylon.
The Cause of the Curse
This terrible curse on Judah was
caused by their repeated refusal to
obey God’s will and to follow Him-
He had done everything He could
to save Judah from destruction. He
had warned and wooed, had pleaded
and pardoned; had promised and re
pented—but Judah would not hark
en, persisted in her refusal to follow
Him. There was nothing left for
Him. but to leave them to their own
ways; and this meant certain de
struction.
There is a warning in this today
for the individual —God has done ev
erything He can do to save you from
yourself. Finally He gave His only
begotten son that whosoever be
lieveth in Him should not perish,
but have everlasting life. And some
men will not have Him. is
the condemnation that men loved
darkness rather than light.” “Who
soever believeth not is condemned
already, because he hath not be
lieved in the name of the only be
gotten Son of God.” No man
cometh unto the Father but by Him.
If you persist in refusing God’s gift
of life, don’t blame God when you
find yourself desolated, deserted, de
feated, destroyed.
But what about our nation? Is
America to go on increasingly for
getting God’s word, God’s day, God’s
laws, God’s sovereignty, God’s will,
and escape? Why should she? Judah
did not. Western Europe did not.
Russia is not today. The valley of
the Volga has been one of the most
productive spots in the world, and
have never known drought before;
but no rain threw Russia Into the
present famine—Russia who has
openly defied God. Lack of rain for
one season could starve America. Or
too much rain could do the same.
God may have to let America suffer
to save her.
Oh! Why will people not yield to
Him who loves us and longs to bless
us; but who loves us so much that
Ha will leave us to suffer if that
is the only way He can make us
realize our best.

SOCKET AERIAL
ELIMINATES STATIC
Dr. William E. Brown, Newnan,
Ga,, writes: “Just a few words of
appreciation to you for the wonder
ful concerts you are giving to the
radio fans and ‘fannies.’ I have a
Westinghouse receiving set in my
office for my friends and patients,
and they all enjoy WSB, the radio
phone broadcasting station of The
Atlanta Journal. I have been wait
ing to find something of a construc
tive nature before writing that your
concerts were heard. I am giving
you the particulars of a hook-up
that has been of benefit to me in the
partial elimination of that old pest
called static. This may be of some
service to others if you care to pub
lish it. To those that have tried
the electric light socket condenser
without success, this same conden
ser is all that is needed, and I ynll
give the method as used by me as
follows: The material should first
be assembled, which includes three
pieces of ordinary lamp cord with
the insulation removed off of each
end-for about an inch, the cords to
be twelve inches long; three pieces of
tin foil three inches square; eight
pieces of cambric four inches square,
the cambric to be well shellacked; two
dry pine boards one-half to three
quarters of an inch in thickness and
six inches square; three double-point
ed matting tacks, and four wire
nails two inches long. Take one of
the boards and draw a line through
the center, then on each side of this
line draw another line two inches
out, making a total of three lines in
parallel. These lines will be num
bered one, two and three. On line
No. 1 fasten one of the pieces of lamp
cord with one of the matting tacks
so that the tack will be half an inch
from the edge of the board, leaving
about three inches of the wire on
the board. Now skip line No. 2 and
fasten wire on No. 3 as on No. 1,
and on the opposite end fasten wire
on No. 2 as on one and three. This
makes two* wires on one end and
only one on the opposite. Place on
thij board two pieces of the cambric
and on top of the cambric place one
piece of the tin foil, then take wire
No. 1 and place on the tin foil, mak
ing sure that the wire is in contact
with th® foil. Place two pieces of
cambric, following with foil and
wire as in No. 1 until all three wires
are connected to the foil and covered
with the cambric. Take the second
piece of board and clamp the whole,
using the four wire nails to do this.
With the above arrangement you
will be ready for the hook-up, which
is as follows: Wire No. 1 is fasten
ed to the ground on the instrument,
wire No, 2 to the aerial attachment
on the instrument, and wire No. 3
to the aerial lead-in wire. After
making the connection as stated,
tune in as of usual. With this con
nection I have been able to listen in
when with just the aerial alone I
could not get anything but static..
HEARD WSB PROGRAM
IN SPITE OF STATIC
John R. Turman, Atlanta: “Your
concert came in fine last night, ex
cept for the static, but that was be
cause of the condition of the air;
otherwise it was all right.”
Fertilizer Men Would
Welcome Henry Ford,
Says Atlanta Delegate
WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS,
W. Va., June 15. —At the annual
summer meeting of the Southern
Fertilizer association held here Tues
day, President J. Russel Porter, of
Atlanta, stated that if Henry Ford
could demonstrate how to manufac
ture fertilizers more economically
than they are now being manufac
tured, this knowledge would be wel
comed by the fertilizer manufac
turers: also, that Mr. Ford or any
one else who may acquire Muscle
Shoals and engage in the manufac
ture of fertilizers will be welcomed
into membership of the Southern
Fertilizer association.
Mr. Porter stated that his associa
tions had been actively opposing the
tariff on potash, the burden of which
he said, would fall on the cotton
farmer who is not able to stand it.
Among the points stressed by him
was the sale of high grade fertili
zers, which he said were the most
economical fertilizers; that in ex
tending credit to cotton farmers,
those farmers who devote enough
acreage to food and feed crops to
meet their home requirements,
should be given preference. He,
however, urged the fertilizer manu
facturers to get on a cash basis as
soon as possible.
On the subject of farmers’ co-op
erative cash purchasing of fertili
zers, he advised that every accom
modation within the range of sound
business, be accorded.
W. E. Richards, Atlanta, Ga.,
chairman of the soil Improvement
committee, made report of a very
successful year’s worß in the edu
cational work of the association.
Director J. N. Harper, Atlanta,
Ga., of the agricultural staff; J. C.
Pridmore, Shreveport, La., agrono
mist in charge of the western work,
and C. A. Whittle, Atlanta, Ga., edi

PERUSE WINE LIST
BY BURTON LEE
(Leased Wire Service to The Journal.)
(Copyright, 1922.)
WASHINGTON, June 15.—“0h,
boy! Johnny Walker for two bite
a drink, right over the bar and guar
anteed and everything!”
The parched lips of many a na
tional legislator have been smacking
at the thought, and if congress could
only adjourn there would be a grand
rush for the ocean. The publication
of the “wine lists” of the American
ships operated by the United States
shipping board have brought home
to many a “wet” heart the consoling
information that somewhere the sun
is shining, somewhere the birds sing
gay, but there is no joy in congress
—the ocean’s so far away.
Copies of the Congressional Record
containing the detailed wine list of
the steamship “President Pierce” are
being sought far and wide. The list
is to be preserved as a souvenir of
things that were on land, and things
which soon may be in limbo eVen
on that portion of the seas where
floats the American flag.
Not only is the “President
Pierce’s” wine list available, but
through the kindness of Mr. August
A. Busch, of St. Louis, congress has
been placed in possession of a fac
simile of the wine list of the steamer
‘George Washington,” the same
“George Washington” that took
President Wilson to Europe and
back again during the peace negotia
tions at Paris.
Studying the two available wine
lists with an undeniable goulish glee
the lawmakers have discovered some
discrepancies in price which maj’
be referred to the federal trade com
mission for decision as to whether
or not there is discrimination
against certain trans-Atlantic pas
sengers over others.
As a matter of fact Mr. Busch,
who has stirred up such a hornet’s
nest, seems to be one of the favored
ones, and shipping board officials
will class him as ungrateful. If he
had been so disposed, Mr. Busch
cotild have “set ’em up” to a quart
of Cordon Rouge champagne of the
vintage of 1911 on board the “George
Washington” for $5, whereas the
poor unfortunate passengers on the
“President Pierce” would have been
compelled to pay $7.50 for the same
amount of wine of the same vintage.
Furthermore Mr. Busch could
have bought his Johnny Walker, his
Haig & Haig, his Black and White,
or his Sandy Macdonald Scotch
whisky aboard , the “George Wash
ington” for twenty-five cents a
drink, whereas the same liquors
aboard the “President Pierce” retail
at thirty cents a drink. A nice bot
tle of Sauterne aboard the Wash
ington sold for $2.50, and on aboard
the Pierce brings $3.
line old German beer could be
bought on both boats for forty cents
a quart, or twenty-five cents a pint.
Perhaps one of thq things that
peeved Mr. Busch the most was to
find his own less than one-half of 1
per cent “Budweiser” listed along
side real beers and finding few if
.any customers at twenty cents the
bottle._
