Death and Coal
r If your coal bin is empty January
1934, it may comfort you to
how that in 1306 King Edward 1
qt England issued a. plociluuatiou
making the use 'of coal as fuel in
ndon a capital offense. 0
«- One case is on record where the
used was tried, found guilty of
rning coal, condemmerl and
romptly executed. '
' 4 Prof. V. S. Babasiniau, professor
d! organic chemistry at llt'lligh
University. who is Just completing
won-lye research work on coal tar
darivsuves, recounts several amus-
itll incidents.
;Ths invisible, gaseous products
of the combustion of coal were
curly pronounced detrimental to
health and vegetation. Resentment
became intense when ladies of

underwent a curious change of
complexion whenever they sat near
a coal fire. .
The nature of the smoke and
' Oder from burning coal remained a
mystery until after the middle of
the seventeenth century. when an
alchemist devised an ingenious pro-
cess of heating coal in the absence
of air. The liquid obtained was
known as “oil of coal" and was sold
as a most potent remedy for many
ailments.
Then followed the isolation of
large quantities of the highly in-
flamabie gas. "spirit of coal." When
coal is distilled for illuminating gas
it yields an important compound——
benzene is this byproduct. no“
known as coal tar.
' In 1845 Mansfield isolated a. meal
important compound-benczcne
this byproduct. i‘In 1856 an 18 your
old investigator produced the first
artificsl dye from coal tar.
From 1860 to the present day the
research chemist has subjected
coal tar to the most searching
scrutiny known to modern science.
.‘His efforts have been rewarded by
the discovery of no less than 150
intermediates from which are pro-
duced the most gorgeous colors. the

Page-entry and Fog.
A blackening. blinding fog marred
the Lord Mayor's procession in .Lon-
don so seriously when Sir Lewis
Newton took office that a strong
movement is likely to be made for
abolition of the ancient pageant as a
paralyzer of traffic and general nuis-
ance in a busy time.
Of course. the London fog is a
detriment not totie removed save by
general co-operatiomin changing the
regular habit of English life in win-
ter, which is as nearly impracticable
as is anything to be conceived. Even
if soft coal did not burn in so many
fireplaces in London freedom from
fog in that climate could hardly be
guaranteed. And it is not very sen-
sible to try to maintain an elaborate
pageant at the expense. possibly, of
the health of participants and of
phbiic convcnicnm: and necessary
traffic in the streets. Yet it were a
great pity to abandon entirely this
historic pageant, which (as it hap~
pens) is not an adulation of the
throne. but a. sturdy reminder of the
independence in many matters of the
City of London. long the commercial
metropolis and one of the corner
posts of civillzution's house, through
lean years and years of plenty.

ment with deep roots and perennial

THE WORK OF
' , DEBT
WASHINGTON—The American
Debt Refunding Commission lg
getting its report ready for
Congress. it will bring no comfor
to the internationalists and debt-
cancellation contingent. President
Coolidge is firm for collecting the
(it-bis. or at least refunding them
into sonic-thing more than more
"i n l"s."
Secretary Hughes insists that the
debts owing the United States from
the several foreign countries shall
be entirely divorced from Germa-
ny's «ll-ills in the Allies, or "repa-
ration." as it is called.
The British debt has been re-
funded; that is. reduced to a prac-
tical and negotiable basis. British
bonds to the amount of 84.600 000.-
000 have been- deposited in the
Treasury of the United States.
Cuba and Finland are the only
other two countries owing the
United States money to pay up in
full or in part. Cuba. has paid all,
about 4,600,000 000. Finland has
made a refunding proposition to set.
llo her $0,000,000. The plan will be
submitted to Congress.
France says she wants to with~
hold payment of her 83.800.000.000
until Germany pays France "repa-
ration."
lloumania owes the United States
some 3‘43 000.000, and says she will
pay when she can.
v4‘zeclioslovnkia owes the Ilnited
States something like 8109.000,000
for food, grain. supplies and ship-
ping.
Here are the debtors at this date.
and the debts in round figures:

Serbia . . 51,103,000 9889.000
5,970,100,000 1.088.447.000
Eleven countries have made some
sort of a gesture in the direction
of payment; the others say nothing.
_ It is problemtical how much of
the $7.000_000,000 will ever be col-
lected. '
The disagreeable task of adjust-
ing these debts and reminding the,
debtors is a heritage from the pre—
cedi g administration.
0 Wilson administration loaned
the money (some say' with doubtful
legal. authority) and left the job of
collecting to the Harding-Coolidge
administration. ,.
Because of slow collections
aboard, the present administration
the American people. wh reas it
should come from foreign debtors.
The money loaned the several for-
eign countries was obtained by
selling United States Liberty and
Victory bonds. These bonds must
be paid. whether foreign debtors
pay the United States or not.
However. the present aduflnistraé
den or responsibility in' order to

Our Criminal Laws.
(New Haven JournabCouI-ier)
Comparisons as they are developed
from a study of similar tempera-
mentl iead_iue\’itably to the conclu—
sion that the criminal laws of the
state need reconsideration from
many angles. Big questions are in-
volved such the indeterminate

power of aurole and of pardon. a
clearer comprehension by trial

sentences and many other col-elated

The duties of these boards. Prison
and Reformatory which are also
boards of parole are semi-judicial in
character though freed from the lim—
itations of a court trial and should
therefore be more or less in close
touch with the state judiciary. A
clearer understanding is needed of
the exact line to be drawn between
the sentence imposed by the court
for the offense committed and the
attitude of the boardsof‘parole is
congidering a release toward that of-
fens'e—wheiher in fact and sound
morals the boards of pardons ought
to consider more than the character
and disposition of'the inmate appeal—

restore Europe. The answer to these
solicitations seem; obvious: If the
league is such a fine thing,’why
doesn‘t Europe use it? And if it can

In his book on "Heredity and En-

Conklin of Princeton pointed out
that “modern cvilization" by reason
of its complexity mdde demands
upon man's mental capacity which
men's mental capaci'y was unable
to meet, and that one of tWo things
