It steals on us , before we have recognized the first symp , toms, and unless we have unusual powers of will It Is virtually Incurable. Have you not known many who seemed In capable of receiving a new Idea, whose minds appear to be barred and shuttered against any glimmer of today's sun? The locks and hinges of their mental door are rusted, the wheels of their spiritual ma chlnery are bound with rust and dust, and A bic polka-dotted bow. stiffened another color and design. so they become too old and cumbersome to use. Such people often st-iit out with a good equipment of intelligence and edu cation, but wits are lllso knives If they are not kept In constant u'e. sharpened and ground, they first become dull and then rust sets In and eat them away That Is why you will meet men and women old before their time, while others away up In the seventies and eighties will be brighter than their own giand children. "Marlon Harland." who Is now eighty six years of age, told a tecent Interviewer that should she now find herself In want and "out of a Job" she would "go right out and make one." And there is little fear she would find any dimculty, for she has always kept her mind and soul free from rust. She explains her youth In this way; "Old ago Is merely selfish ness. We have lived our lives we say, and we shut our minds to the Interests of those around us So tho lethargy of the lotus eater enwraps .spirit and senses." The Newest Thing Is the Aviation Chapcau Now that the boys are doing the things worth while and going into all branches of Uncle Sam's sen-ice, the girls want to show them how much they think of their efforts by rushing around and getting very busy in their many w ays of helping out in the big cause. .Of course, the girls must not forget to look pretty, no matter how busy they may be, and what could be more becoming when they are "flying" from one place to an other than to don such an aviation cap.

If one walking at the rate of three miles an hour expends cevcnty-flve units of enetgy for oaeh mile when fresh, after walking for som time and becoming weary, the energy expended per mile will be ninety units nr even more The explanation of this In creased energy expenditure Is found In the fact that when one becomes tired ho usei a larger number of muscles for performing the same work than when freMi.

They are Called circuses because the men who put up the tents cuss so much. When everybody started away from the grounds to parade we piled back Into the wagon and went to see them. We saw the elephants and the camels and everything. Then Jim bought some sandwiches, which we ate In the wagon, and then we went out to the clrcuB again, and Jim bought some tickets and in we went. I never looked at so many things at once In all my life before. After It was all over and I was full up with peanuts and popcorn and lemonade, we started to go out. and there was such a crowd we could not breathe. Jim kept pushing the people back to keep them off of Rowdy and me. A lot of young men came rushing through the crowd In a line, knocking the people seven ways for Sunday.

Km Vv aJ " Cnnllnned from Pass One latter cost of production, These mines obviously cannot produce at this price while the mass of the coal in the district yields a fair profit. Yet the Government wishes to keep production up. TWO THKOIIIKS There are two theories as to how these mines will be kept In the game. One Is that they should be taken over by the Government and operated, the Government to stand the loss. The second theory Is that they should be made exceptions nnd a price set for them at which they could pay profits. The administrator Is con fronted with the tak of keeping them working. Difficulty number three has to do with the dealer who has nlready bought his coal on contract Vlrtuallv every large coal dealer In Phila delphia lo'ng ago contracted for his coal for tho coming winter. Many dealers have large quantities of it already In their yards. They have paid something like $3.8S for the same coal that the Government now says must be sold for $2. They have got to sell that coal as though they had bought It for ?2 a ion Their next-door neighbor who Is not buying on an old contract gets his coal nt $3 a ton and they must meet his competition. The Government will not let them sell coal at a flguro that would make a profit on 53 8f. tf the law and the regulations are administered In ac cordance with what nppears on the surfaco every 0110 of these local dealers would lose money on every ton ho sells. The coal administrator has got to work out some plan that will not do this dealer an In justice. Difficulty number four nIo has to do with coal contract that already exist. The railroads are most favored of all coal consume! s. While other buyers were paying 13 for bituminous coal It wns no uncommon thing for a railroad to ha purchasing the same fuel from the same mine at $1.50. tt may be true that It costs $2 a ton to mine this coal and that the mine loses money on it. WHY RAILROADS ARH KAVORHD There are two explanations of this sit uation One Is that a railroad contract Is attractive becnuse It Is large and runs steadily throughout the year. It will give the miner a bulk of production that will make his other business more profitable. The serond explanation Is that coal mines are dependent on railroads to move their product The mine that accommodates the railroad Is much more likely to get cars than is the mine which does not. Henco the favorable contrar-ts to the railroads. It Is argued that If coal mines were to abrogate these conltacts on which they lose money, they might tend to offset tho cuts in prices that are being forced upon them by the Government. Mr. Garfield will have .1 chance to take out this slack In mlno operation. Difficulty number five may be said to have to do with labor. In the United Stntes today there aro probably not less than a hundred situations In which the miner and tho operator nie near the breaking point. The two face each other with fixed bnyoncts. Each goes over tho top cr tunnels under In his at tempts to weaken the position of the other. This cut In the selling price of coal will cause the employer to attempt a cut ln wages. Tertainly he cannot as well afford to pay high wages as when Iin was making four times the profit on every ton the miner took out The miner will answer that tho Government based Its ludgment In fixing tho price on th producer's ability to take out iiih coat wun me wages then prevailing. The coal committee of tho Council of National Defense has assumed tho task of imiirinK on on inn troubled waters of labor as applied to coal mining. That commltteo has as Its head, for Instance, P. S. Peabody. ot Chicago, n man who owns a score of mines. Half of his mines, being in tho unionized .State of Illinois, employ union labor. The other half are ln Kentucky where an operator may pick and choose, nnd Mr. Penhody works nonunion men there to show his broad mlndedness. Ho has got nil the money he wants nnd so works hard for tho Government for a dol lar ti year. HOW PEARODY WORKS Mr. Peabody Is n diplomat and moro genial than llunny himself. He picked two assistants for Intlmato advice and co operation In keeping the coal mines of the nation yielding up their dormant horse power Roth were young men, nggresslve. Incisive, thorough masters of the coal busi ness. Edward Chase was tho representa tive of one of the biggest coal producers ln the nation. The organization which Mr. Chnso rep resented had never employed a union man In all its life. The second selection of Mr. Peabody was William Diamond, enthusiastic representative of the I'nited Mine Work ers, who had been fighting nonunlonlsm In Kentucky. Hero was nn open-shop man, a union man nnd an employer who worked with both. Tho group has been handling about fifty telegrams a day bearing on labor troubles (n the mines and has talked reason nnd canning tho Kaiser to all of them nnd adjusted tho difficulties. This organization Is at the disposal of the new coal administrator and wilt help him with the difficulties of the labor situation. Of these difficulties two aro obviously emb.itrnsslng getting the mines to pro duce $2 coal when they havn contracts for $1 coal, and forcing tho man who is loaded up on $4 coal to soil It at $2, The mines today mostly have tne mass of their product contracted for. Certainly these contracts will bo filled before coal Is sold at tho lower price. Mining men are saying already with somthlng of a chuckle "There ain't gonna be no core." ' The mass of tho coal Is used ln the In dustries which buy In advance and have already provided for, the present year.' They will pay contract prices unless something drastic Is done about It. If their rivals are able to buy at the now prices they will get a material advantage In production be cause ot the Government action which made it possible. There are those who think It will be necessary for the President to nsk Congress for the authority to abrogate con tracts and place everybody on an equality with, $2 coal for the ptesent season. WOULD SOLVE DIFFICULTY This would solve also the difficulty which faces that dealer, who has contracted for this winter's coal at old prices nnd who will be forced by the Government to sell as though he had bought for J2. It would Place the consumer In the im.nu.. .... he would be able to get the benefit of J2 coal right away If blng! the first of Sen tember, everybody got his coal for the regulation w-ould be real. With the mass of It being handled under contract for tho present season, the public may not benelit Ca' contracts expire in AprtI and I 2f er that there will be a new deal.

Italians Drive Enemy From Monte Santo Continued from Tare One occupied before their own offensive last December. MONTE SANTO CAPTURED ' IN CADORNA'S ADVANCE ' ROME, Aug. 26. Capture of Monte Santo yesterday by Italian troops ana peneiranon 01 ine aun trlan lines at several polnta were an nounced officially today. In the various places where the enemy line has been broken the Austrlans are being closely pursued. On the Trentlno front, especially In the sectors of the Lagarlna Valley and Monte Croce, the Austro-Hungarlans are maktnr, strong counter-attacks, but these have been broken up by ItallnV resistance without gaining a foot of ground. Upward of 21,000 prisoners aro now In the hands of the Italians, all having been enptured since the eleventh battle of the Isonzo opened on August 18. The War Office gave the second Italian army the honor of the victory. News that this force had been "broken through" at several points was hailed with great rejoicing hero. It was agalntft Monte Santo that one of the main drives of the Italian offensive of last April was directed ln the assault on tho three great promon- torlesof Kuk, vodlce and Monto Santo. Dispatches from the front say the Italians forced crossings of the Isonzo be tween Tolmlno and Plava. The survivors of the Austro-Hungarlan garrison nt Monte Santo fled eastward, hotly pursued by the Italians. The pursuit continues. Monte Santo, a peak 2245 feet high ln the Julian Alps, had been strongly fortified by the Austro-Hungarlans and It was only through the efficiency of the Italians' heavy guns and the brilliant gallantry of tho In fantry that It was carried by storm.

Rothermel, of Reading Also in Ambulance Service Receives Coveted War Cross' I LONDON'. Aug. 25, Canadian troops still ndvanced against Lens today West and south of the coal city the fighting was one continuous battln of assaults by the Canadians and Immediate counter-attacks by the enemy. At several points the German counter-attacks forced some slight recessions, but this wan more than counterbalanced by a night victory west of the metropolis. There Field Marshal Halg today reported "a successful attack, with slight casualties to us," which "captured a short trench of local Importance. "In the Lombaertzyde neighborhood at night wo "captured an enemy post, taking n few prisoners and a machine gun," the statement continued. "Around Epehy there was considerable artlllerylng early this morning," Germany's counter-attacks, not only around Lens but northward In the Ypres Menln sector, show no signs of weaken ing. They are made In great concentration of men nnd of barrage fire. A dispatch from the front says: "The Canadians continued hammering at Lens today, chipping off bits here and there.
