How much fuel it has waste fullv consumed cannot be even ap proximately estimated. The story has beetr handed down that the fire was started when the lamp in a miner's cap came in con tact with an oil-soaked timber as he was leaving the mine at the end of a day's work, and that the next morning the tunnel entrance was a roaring furnace. It is said that more than one mil lion dollars has been expended in efforts to extinguish the fire, all iu vain. Now another attempt is to be made. The plan Is to strip the top of the mountain which overlies the burning section, remove veins of coal that He in the path of the fire, and thus "starve" it. The area to be stripped is about a mile long and four hundred yards wide. The strip ping will have to be to an average depth of forty feet.

Bry, A.8., M.A. President of the Parents Association. N. There's nothing that a child can be taught to do properly—without j practice. If he ever is to walk properly or ' run properly, he must have prae i tice; if he ever is to talk properly or write properly or play ball or think i or do anything properly he simply must necessarily have practice. It ; is'impossible to accomplish anything with any degree of perfection with out experience. And the proper management of a bank account is no exception to the rule. Some parents feel that an allow ance probably would be a good thing j for their children but simply have ; never put the plan into operation, while others are wondering whether I it really is a good idea or not. For example, one father writes to 1 me: "My boy is fourteen years old and is beginning to tease me for a great j deal more spending money than he ! used to. Do you think it would be I well to give him a regular allow ance? If so, how should the mat , ter be presented?" Yes. give your boy an allowance of not less than fifty cents a week. Approach him on the subject (somewhat in this fashion: "Clarence, let's go into the drawing room and talk over the matter of your future a little—why.

I'd like soon to give I you a little tyianctal interest in my ! business and so I'm going to test you out with a little money and see if you can make good. I think you can.

Dear Miss Fairfax: I am almost nineteen and have been going about with a sailor for the past few months. During a week that I was away, he wrote nte ' frequently, his letters being very sen Omental. He comes to the house and has met my family. He told me he loved me and made all manner of promises. I really love him aird do not want to lose him, but I doubt his sincerity. About four weeks ago he broke an appointment with me, but said he was sorry and said it was due to his navy duties. I for gave him, but it happened again. I also disappointed him the last time he came to see me, but told him the reason, which was a good one. But I have not heard front him since. Now, Miss Fairfax, do you think it advisable to glve % him up, or wait and hope? H. M. N. If the young sailor falls into the way of being negligent and indif ferent. I should say that you will have no choice but to give him up. But if he has a good explanation for his lapses, perhaps you are do ing him an injustice. If you have a really frank talk with him, won't that help to determine the question of his sincerity? You have, of course, been friends too short a : time to understand each other well. Vnliappy Family Situation. Dear Miss Fairfax: I am nineteen, but appear,to be a man of over twenty-one. In buq ineks I made several friends, one, young lady in particular, who is two years my senior. We live but a few doors frohi. each other and our friendship became such than we are together more than we are parted. My mother abused me for this friendship and when the girl found out what had happened, she just j had to weep. Though I have made many friends i I am not allowed to go anywhere. ] Almost all my evenings are spent either in business or at home. ■ i ■ < < t 7 t < pr ; - \ WHY HAIR FALLS OUT | Dandruff causes a feverish irrita tion of the scalp, the hair roots shrink, loosen and then the hair comes out fast.

Some boys demand more than others and j this fact cannot reasonably be ignor ed. While it sounds, all right in the ory to say that the child should be j able to spend his money in any way lie desires, do not forget that in all things, children need direction at j first. So make friendly suggestions. : Let vour child see you make pur i chases. Let him see that you have j to turn down many things yourself j and that you make a special effort I to' get the greatest values for your | money. Vour child under this system will i get experience—not mere experience j of handing money out—but helpful j practice in the art of spending and j saving money. All children should 1 have this advantage. How can I help myself besides talking nicely and trying to explain my honest convictions. H. J. S. If you are self-supporting, it might be just as well, since you are I man-grown, for you to find lodging outside your own home, for a while |at least. But if you are dependent on your parents, you will doubtless 1 have to continue to make conces i sions to them. It is of cpurse, ex tremely painful, since you are a I young man of high principles, for : your mother to misinterpret a friendship of yours, bqt since the young lady herself is not alienated, that is really the important thing, isn't it? And sometimes a friend i ship maintained under difficulties is stronger for that very reason. I ORPHAN'S LOVE THOVBLES iDEAR MISS FAIRFAX: | My misfortune in life is that I do 'not remember my mother. I was i brought up in an asylum, and when II reached my sixteenth year, was told I to try to support myself. I entered a paper-box factory, for )$ a w-ek. Before long, a . nice-looking chap wanted me to go out with him. Not knowing him, is refused. He accom panied me to lunch several times, and I have found that he is a well-bred boy. He cares for me a great deal. In fact. I learn from my working mates . that he is deeply in love and will do I his utmost to gain my love. But. as I have no parents or friends to look after me, I ask you to please advise me. S. B. . Tou cannot be too careful, especial i !y when you are so'young and unused to the world, in insisting on reliable J introductions In the case of every J boy who wants to know you. It is not an easy matter for a 16-year-old girl~ to steer her way through the dangers of life alone, but a girl as .brave and responsible as you appear to be is doubtless equal to the situa ! tion. I hope your friend may I prove to be i'rreproaChible and that you may have many happy times i with him. • L HAS FLIRTATIOUS FRIENDS [DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I I am 15.

I don't know whether I ought to give hp these fr ' el j^ B " Li This is very bad training for a girl of 15, as you yourself evidently have the good sense to know. Don't on any account allow yourself to go in the street with girls of this type.

But I 'believe that In ten >ears from now cities and towns will be abloom with them. They are going to do away with nursemaids, and also with the over working of older sisters. They are going to simplify life enormously for distracted mothers. Vet their real object is quite different from any of these. Baby garderts are planned to pro ' vide the best possible conditions tin der which little children or from one j to three years old can be happy and , comfortable, and develop naturally lin health, strength and Intelligence. Some mothers won't like this I idea—until they really understand ! it. They will Say that they prefer |to take care of their own babies, thank you, and that they have no I intention of allowing them to be out | of sight and reach for an entire day at a time. What in tho world did they have babies for. if they arc go j ing to deprive themselves of the op portunity to love them as much as they like? I Perhaps the best way to convince a mother who talks like this is to show her a baby garden in actual operation. A couple of largo sunny rooms Is the Indispensable setting—supple mented, of course, by bathroom, kitchen, sleeping-porch and outdoor playground. Three persons at least | will be in charge—a specially edu : cated woman who loves and under stands babies, a trained nurse and a scientific cook, who knows how to prepare food for young children. In this environment there may bo as many as a dozen babies. Some body will have brought them from their homes in the morning and j somebody will come to fetch them at night. During this time they will be fed properly, they will take long naps on the sleeping-porch and they will be eneouraned to play as much as they, like, outdoors or In, according to the weather, and either alone or with Children who wish to be alone are gtven a floor space set apart by screens. Best of all, they don't come into collision with grown-up life and grown-up plans and grown-up fur niture—things for which they are perhaps punished at home. , _ Comfort for tho Young. Nothing of this sort can happen, you see. because there are absolute ly no grownup furnishings in a baby garden no upholstery, no tric-a-brac, none of the fragile things that adults are always so frantically engaged in protecting. Neither are there any of the highly dangerous objects that babies often encounter in a kitchen —a range, a steaming kettle, a flat iron. It Isn't so uncomfortable to bo two a,nd a half feet tall If pne isn't con tinually giving mysterious offence to the surrounding group of giants and if there are chairs and tables of one's own size. Indeed, it's good fan to be small. One has such a light, free feeling. . Ar.d before one's legs get too long one can see ever so much better what is going on in the gVass and- on the ground than the giants can.

Now, you can't prevent a baby from learning things all the time, whatever you do with llim. It's the learning age. But in a baby garden a buby is helped to learn certain accessary and valuable things. Thus, they are taught to help them- I selves, as far as possible; to feed themselves; as soon as they aro old : enough, to dress themselves, and ! even, at a very early stage, to pick ! up their toys after they have finish ed play. Ahey are taught to be con ; siderute and unselfish with each oth : er and not eternally to be insisting i on the importance of "mine." i They are taught to love animals 1 and to be kind to them. And they ! learn familiarity with plants and flowers, and something of how these grow. And whatever natural im pulse they may have to "make" things Is as far as possible encour aged—whether with blocks or clay or pencil. And even the tiniest ones ; learn to run and jump and climb, i A baby who is well and interest ed and who Isn't slapped and scold led doesn't whine or cry. So these j are happy babies. Start u Baby Garden. A mother njighl admit that all these conditions are desirable and yet feel that the whole question was settled by the fact that no baby gar den flourished within reach of her own family. But it is perfectly easy, if not for one mother, then for half a dozen neighboring mothers, to start their ! own baby garden. It will be im mensely interesting to work out the ; details of it themselves. And they will learn a great deal while they are doing it. In any case, don't dismiss this idea as a mere fad or "frill." Did you know that it is a great deal more im portant to provide the right con ditions for children who arc too young to go to school than for the j older ones? Did you know that the j time between nursing and school i age is really the critical period of his life? That if you ever are go ing to "take pains" with his health and education, you ought to do it then, even though he hasn't reached the reading, writing and arithmetic, stage? These years make up the most j impressionable period in the life of a human being. In what way are you going to choose to have vour particular child moulded and train ed? ft s, probably true that a mother who can give her baby all he needs at home doesn't need to send him Ito a baby garden. But how many can? The mother who employs a nurse, or that undefined and totallv un equipped creature called a nurse maid, for her babies, surely isn't doing much for them. A nurse can keep the children clean and take them on more or less melancholy little walks outdoors, but only a su pernurse is fit to be entrusted with all the questions of their health, happiness and general training. The mother who cannot afford to hire any relief for herself, and who has to combine baby tending with cooking, dishwashing, sweeping, sewing and the personal demands made by her husband and older chil dren, may love her baby very much It Is true. She may cuddle him pas sionately whenever she hus time, and she may love to feel him cling ing sunshine and running brook "SYRUP CHILD'S LAXATIVE Look at tongue!

ADVERTISEMENT Silk Is Supreme in Paris Some Fluffy Ideas Borrowed Front Woolens to Make. New Silks; Ailvancd Hint of Spring X'oveltlcs; Caehemlre With a Skln- Hkc Finish; New Arrangements in Plaids; Original Patterns in Brocades niul Print Silks, Lurid Colors oil Somber Grounds Bv NOELIE DE LA SABLERE Special Paris Correspondent to The American Silk Journal THERE is a closer relationship existing between the silk and I the woolen situations than ever | before, and the condition of these lines seems to be somewhat re versed. Silks are occupying more of the position of the fabric of util ity formerly held by woolens while the woolen materials have mounted to a height not previously attained by this class of goods. As a result silks are making profits for the manufacturers while the woolen people encounter all sorts of diffi culties. The French manufacturers of woolen materials were located in the northern region that was but recently reconquered by the Allies, j There are not many of the former woolen mills remaining. One sees nothing but ruins on every side as the Huns have removed looms and machines, entire stocks of raw and manufactured materials and de stroyed the factory plants. Conse quently some of the dress goods manufacturers have established plants in Lyons and various other I centers. Their volume of produc | tion, however, is very much smaller | than it was before the war in con | sequence of the terrible difficulties I they had to encounted. There is but a small quantity of wool pro duced in France, and a certain i amount is imported from England, but whatever its source the price is .exceedingly high. So with wool scarce and dear, the | prices for woolen dress fabrics are | prohibitive. Some of the ordinary qualities command four, live and six times the price they brought before the war. A good material for a coat or a tailored costume is now worth twelve dollars a meter. To minimise this high cost of , woolen tissues, couturiers employ as small a yardage as they can because ' they strive to keep down the high I cost, and it is. one of the reasons why they are making dresses the ' narrowest' and shortest ever seen. I Of course, as the old saying goes, I "it's an ill wind that blows nobody ! good," so is it in the case of wool j versus silk. The high cost and j scarcity of woolens has materially j benefited silks and placed them in I a splendidly strong position. While | the prices of silks have (advanced, j they are still lower than woolens, 1 and consequently, as a matter of I economy and utility, silk reigns su j preme in Paris, while wool is re ' served for certain kinds of cloaks j and coats and for trimmings. There are some woolen novelties that may be revived in silks. They are the long-haired tissues, scraped Jerseys and the like, which have been named "lion of Nemee," "cub," "orang-outang," "oisella," all of them names which give the impres sion of something that is either hairy or fluffy. These materials have a very decided vogue und though they are wool and on this account may not be of interest to silk people, they are, however, Indications of the tendency toward fluffy-faced stuffs, and I am sure that slmllar sorts of materials made of floss silk would be very successful for the summer. It would not surprise me to learn that certain French manu facturers of silks are about to intro duce such materials for the new season. Among the novel silks much talked about in the first-class cou ture houses is one called "Cache mire Marocaln," a silk cachemire with a special finish that causes it to look like skin. New is u special Jersey de sole which recalls to the mind the an cient coats of arms and is called "cotte Bayard." It is used in sev eral of the best houses for making Very pretty and effective gilets and trimmings. The new silk plushes indicate the style tendencies of another winter season. The pile is very thick and closely Imitates the most expensive furs such as chinchilla, sealskin, beaver and others. The plushes are used as a substitute for the real furs which this season are extrava gantly high in price. They compose entire garments, most of tho trim mings as well, and at a distance pass muster for the real furs, -a nin.a President Wilson Will Visit Battlefield at Rheims on Sunday Pnris, Jan. 25.—President Wilson plans to make the first of a series of short trips to the devastated re gions of France Sunday.

ADVERTISEMENT cul and another called "peluche craquilee" shows several shades so arranged that the effect is like that of a panther's skin. "Bayadere" plushes are shown in large stripes. Pekin stripes are also obtained with plush stripes in relief on a satin ground, stripes and ground being of different color or of different shades of the same color. Callot employs these materi als for dresses and dressy gowns. The favored shades this season are those of the preferred furs, and in the high-grade couture houses the blege shades are not unlike beaver tones. There are chinchilla grays and sealskin brown with tho different shades of drab from tho falntlest to the most vivid violet drab shades. New arrangements in plaid pat terns and colorings are worth men tioning. Some are interesting for their choice of colors and others for | the originality and order of tho plaiding. They show audacious color combinations such as dark blue combined with Adriatic blue and emerald green or else a red and green ground is divided by big yel low squares. Some of the very fin est grades of silks show tartan dis positions on satin, voile, crepe do | chine and crepe meteor grounds. Figured tissues are in splendid vogue for dressy models and cloaks and are highly favored for the rich and sumptuous toilettes to be worn at the functions that will celebrate the victories of the Allies. The French government has granted permission to wear evening clothes for all occasions and the Parisian couturiers are busy with the new creations. Some of the tissues figured with velvet motifs are exceedingly orig inal. For instance, there is a pat tern with odd figures representing flowers and trees and large pheas ants, about twenty inches high and twice that in width. There are two of these pheasants to the width of the tissue and four of them to the yard. The pheasant plumage colors are. reproduced and the grounds are .beige, drab, blue and gray. Bro cades and figured satins are much employed for linings, even figured satins with motifs of panne in relief. In the use of both woven and printed figured linings for garments and furs a great variety of pattern themes are used and include motifs inspired by Japanese, Chinese, Hin doo, Persian, Moorish and other Far East design influences. Promi nence Is given to designs in the art modern conception showing odd flowers in glaring colors on a black ground. The vogue of bold colors and lurge figures in printed silks has inspired Parisian couturiers to use them for lining cloaks. One of the most admired of these patterns is called "Persian' hunting," the fig ures of the hunters -being repro duced in all the brilliant colors of the Persian court costumes. A midwinter novelty is called "satin frileuse," which, being trans lated. means a warm satin for those sensitive to the cold. There is no letup in the ribbon vogue. I must mention the return of the large sash sheathing the top of the hips and falling in large flaps. For' this purpose only wide and heavy ribbon is employed in order that the ribbon way drape without flapping about. Those most favored show marvelous shadings and- are either brocaded or broched in silver or gold motifs on contrasting color grounds.
