Comfort  and  Health 
in  Your  Home! 
Through  the  long  winter  months,  when 
folks  must  stay  indoors  most  of  the  time, 
what  is  so  enjoyable  as  cosy  warmth  and 
comfort  all  through  the  house  ?  Think  how 
it  adds  to  every  home  pleasure  and  what  it 
means  in  winter  happiness  to  all  the  family ! 
And  think  of  their  health.  In  icy  weather, 
windows  can’t  be  open  as  much  as  in  sum¬ 
mer.  So  when  you  circulate  and  moisten 
all  the  air  in  the  house,  everybody  breathes 
better  air,  feels  brighter,  and  runs  far  less 
risk  of  getting  colds  and  other  ailments. 
With  an  International  "  Onepipe  ”  heating 
your  home,  you  do  moisten  and  circulate 
all  the  air.  You  send  big  volumes  of  it 
healthfully  warmed  into  every  room. 
When  you  can  bring  all  this  great  home 
comfort  and  health  protection  to  your  folks 
so  easily,  without  extensive  alterations  and 
at  a  cost  that  is  so  small  in  comparison  with 
its  big  advantages,  why  not  decide  now  to 
get  a  Onepipe  ?  And  be  sure  it  is  an  Inter¬ 
national  Onepipe.  Then  you’ll  never  re¬ 
gret  your  choice.  Because  the  Onepipe  is 
well  built — big,  strong,  substantial  through¬ 
out;  scientifically  designed  to  deliver  ut¬ 
most  heat  from  any  fuel ;  stands  up  for 
years  of  dependable  service ;  saves  repair 
bills ;  costs  less  in  the  end ;  and  is  liberally 
guaranteed.

EVENTS  OF  THE  WEEK 
DOMESTIC— A  suit  for  $1,000,000 
against  the  United  Mine  Workers  of 
America  is  being  prepared  by  the  South¬ 
ern  Illinois  Coal  Company  as  a  result  of 
the  Herrin  riots  of  last  June,  attorneys 
for-  the  company  announced  at  Chicago 
January  6.  The  suits  will  be  filed  in  the 
Federal  courts  on  the  basis  of  evidence 
gathered  by  Federal  investigators  of  in¬ 
terference  with  interstae  shipments  of 
coal  from  the  mine. 
A  million  and  a  quarter  automobiles 
were  registered  in  New  York  State  dur¬ 
ing  1922,  the  largest  registration  in  the 
history  of  the  Automobile  Bureau,  ac¬ 
cording  to  figures  made  public  January  6 
by  the  State  Tax  Commission.  The  rej 
port  indicates  an  increase  of  nearly  25 
per  cent  in  the  number  of  automobiles 
registered  and  an  increase  of  more  than 
20  per  cent  in  revenues.  Growing  popu¬ 
larity  of  automobile  camping  apparently 
is  indicated  by  the  increased  number  of 
trailers  registered  each  year.  Automo¬ 
bile  dealers’  registrations  increased  from 
3,872  to  4,114.  Registration  of  chauf¬ 
feurs  was  nearly  doubled,  and  operators’ 
icenses  were  issued  to  323,228  persons 
during  1922. 
Ten  new  steamships  will  carry  the 
Canadian  flag  on  the  Great  Lakes  when 
the  navigation  season  opens  in  the  Spring. 
The  ships,  which  will  total  24.000  tons 
capacity  and  will  cost  $1,500,000,  will  be 
delivered  in  May  by  English  firms.  They 
will  be  operated  by  the  Eastern  Steam¬ 
ship  Company  of  Canada.  The  ships, 
which  will  be  used  primarily  in  the  grain 
trade,  will  have  space  for  90,000  bushels 
of  grain  and  will  be  253  ft.  long.  On  the 
trips  from  Montreal  to  Buffalo,  it  is  ex¬ 
pected,  the  ships  will  carry  pulpwood. 
The  Cunard  freighter  Valacia,  arriving 
at  New  York  January  8  badly  battered 
after  a  wild  weather  trip  from  London, 
shipped  over  her  port  bow  in  midocean 
on  December  29  a  towering,  cumulative 
wave  that  killed  two  of  her  crew,  injured 
13  and  imprisoned  30  for  more  than  an 
hour  in  a  watertight  forecastle  that  for 
two  hours  was  a  huge  swimming  tank, 
flooded  to  a  depth  of  seven  feet  by  the 
crest  of  the  colossal  invading  comber. 
Creation  of  a  New  York  State  Automo¬ 
bile  Bureau  with  a  commissioner  at 
$7,500  a  yeal*  and  numerous  deputies  at 
$4,500,  is  being  considered  by  Gov.  Smith 
and  his  advisers.  The  bureau  would  have 
supervision  of  all  automobile  regulations, 
including  the  issuing  of  licenses,  about 
which  there  has  been  much  trouble  and 
complaint  recently.  One  of  the  objects 
sought'  is  safer  automobile  operation  to 
reduce  the  number  of  accidents.  The  dep¬ 
uties  would  have  authority  to  hold  hear¬ 
ings  and  fix  responsibility  for  accidents. 
They  could  revoke  licenses  for  reckless 
driving. 
The  French  republic  was  awarded  a 
verdict  of  $40,636.20  in  the  United  State 
District  Court  at  Baltimore  January  9 
in  its  $80,000  suit  against  John  E.  Fahey 
&  Co.,  local  grain  merchants.  The  plain¬ 
tiff  charged  the  defendant  company  with 
being  a  month  late  in  delivering  5.000 
tons  of  Western  rye  in  1920. 
Not  less  than  nine  owners  of  laundries 
contributed  funds  to  finance  the  opera¬ 
tions  of  firebugs  said  to  have  been  respon¬ 
sible  for  one  of  several  fires  of  incendiary 
origin  in  independent  laundries  last  Fall, 
according  to  information  obtained  Janu¬ 
ary  6  by  Richard  C.  Murphy,  New  York 
City  Assistant  District  Attorney,  who 
said  the  nine  men  had  admitted  making 
contributions.  The  eight  men  charged 
with  arson  in  the  first  degree  in  connec¬ 
tion  With  the  burning  of  independent 
laundries  last  Fall,  who  were  indicted 
January  8,  were  arraigned  before  Judge 
McIntyre  in  General  Sessions  and  held 
in  $12,000  bail  each.  Assistant  District 
Attorney  Murphy  had  asked  that  bail  be 
fixed  at  850,000  each.  They  pleaded  not 
guilty. 
At  least  1,000  persons  in  the  United 
States  died  in  1922  from  drinking  poison¬ 
ous  liquor.  At  least  500  more  were  made 
permanently  blind  by  wood  alcohol.  Hun¬ 
dreds,  perhaps  thousands,  in  addition 
were  seriously  injured  in  their  health 
from  imbibing  concoctions  filled  with 
fusel  oil  and  other  harmful  ingredients. 
This  is  the  estimate  of  the  officials  of  the 
Prohibition  Enforcement  Service,  based 
on  reports  from  agents  in  all  sections  of 
the  country  and  on  newspaper  clippings 
reporting  isolated  cases.  If  anything,  the 
authorities  believe,  the  statement  is  an 
under-estimate.  All  sections  of  the  na¬ 
tion.  rural  districts  as  well  as  cities,  had 
deaths  from  bad  liquor.  To  a  large  ex¬ 
tent  the  fatalities  were  due  to  poor  dis¬ 
tilling  by  bootleggers  or  impure  stocks 
used  in  illicit  distilling.  Stills  seized  in 
raids  in  all  sections  showed  that  the  vast 
bulk  of  those  who  made  whisky,  had  little 
or  no  conception  of  how  it  should  be 
done  or  the  sanitary  facilities  required. 
The  very  secrecy  of  the  business  to  a 
large  extent  prevented  those  who  conduct¬ 
ed  stills  from  learning  the  proper  meth¬ 
ods. 
Gen.  George  W.  Gpethals,  the  engineer 
who  built  the  Panama  Canal,  was  ap¬ 
pointed  by  Gov.  Smith  January  9  as  Fuel 
Dictator  in  this  State,  to  succeed  William 
II.  Woodin.  Gen.  Goethals  will  have  a 
salarv  of  $2,500  a  month  and  will  receive 
the  unqualified  backing  of  the  entire  State 
administration  in  dealing  with  the  coal 
situation. 
Entering  the  pit  in  the  face  of  a  warn¬ 
ing  that  it  was  dangerous,  five  miners  met 
death  in  Dolomite  Mine  No.  1  of  the 
Woodward  Iron  Company,  near  Binning* 
ham,  Ala.,  January  10,  in  a  gas  ex¬ 
plosion.  Dolomite  No.  1  is  about  two 
miles  from  Dolomite  No.  3,  where  90 
miners  were  killed  last  November  in  a 
dust  explosion,  and  is  part  of  the  same 
seam  of  coal  worked  by  the  Woodward 
Company. 
WASHINGTON.  —  Senator  Spencer 
(Rep.,  Mo.)  introduced  January  4  a  bill 
intended  to  modify,  so  far  as  may  be  con¬ 
sistent  with  the  Eighteenth  Amendment, 
the  strict  provisions  of  the  Volstead  act. 
He  proposed  the  creation  of  a  Federal 
commission  of  seven  members,  of  whom 
two  would  be  women,  to  determine  within 
fairness  and  reason  how  much  alcohol  a 
beverage  must  contain  to  be  intoxicating. 
The  purpose  is  to  increase,  if  possible, 
the  alcoholic  content  of  beverages  now 
limited  to  one-half  of  1  per  cent  of  al¬ 
cohol. 
A  soldiers’  bonus  to  be  financed  by  a 
reenactment  of  the  excess  profits  tax  law 
was  proposed  in  a  bill  introduced  Janu¬ 
ary  4  by  Representative  Frear  (Rep., 
Wis. ).  The  bill  is  similar  in  many  ways 
to  that  vetoed  by  President  Harding  last 
year,  but  would  eliminate  the  irrigation 
scheme  attached  to  that  measure  and 
would  increase  the  borrowing  value  of  ad¬ 
justed  compensation  certificates. 
Because  of  the  shortage  of  army  officers 
under  the  reduced  strength  fixed  by  Con¬ 
gress.  officers  now  assigned  to  duty  with 
the  Veterans’  Bureau  are  to  be  with¬ 
drawn  and  returned  to  military  service, 
Secretary  Weeks  informed  Director 
Forbes  of  the  bureau  January  6.  The 
secretary  said  that  it  was  only  the  neces¬ 
sity  of  employing  every  available  man  for 
the  work  for  which  the  army  itself  is  re¬ 
sponsible  that  had  prompted  him  to  order 
officers  now  with  the  bureau  back  for 
military  assignments. 
The  American  troops  were  ordered 
home  from  the  Rhine  January  10  by 
President  Harding.  The  order  contem¬ 
plates  immediate  movement  of  the  troops 
to  Bremen  or  Antwerp  for  embarkation. 
The  only  American  army  units  to  remain 
in  Europe  will  be  those  attached  to  the 
Graves  registration  service. 
Roadside  Markets  and  Sunday 
I  am  enjoying  your  paper  very  much. 
I  admire  the  moral  tone  especially.  There 
is  a  subject,  however,  that  your  contribu¬ 
tors  have  discussed  that  needs  an  enlarge¬ 
ment.  The  roadside  market  is  no  longer 
a  fad  or  experiment.  Allow  me  to  give 
my  impressions  of  this  phase  of  rural  liv¬ 
ing.  In  the  beautiful  month  of  last  Sep¬ 
tember,  and  on  a  Sabbath  afternoon,  I 
was  hastening  from  morning  service  to  an 
afternoon  appointment  at  Mentor,  O.,  the 
home  of  President  Garfield,  and,  indeed, 
spoke  to  the  same  society  of  which  he 
once  was  a  member.  My  journey  was 
over  the  famous  highway  running  through 
Buffalo  to  Cleveland.  My  25-mile  jour¬ 
ney  was  literally  lined  with  these  Sab¬ 
bath  markets.  There  was  the  father 
along  with  his  children  awaiting  the  cus¬ 
tomers.  There  were  no  Sunday  school  or 
religious  services  for  these  families.  Here 
the  little  folks  were  initiated  in  the  ways 
of  breaking  the  Sabbath.  These  scenes 
pained  me  greatly.  Here,  one  of  the  finest 
spots  in  America  given  up  to  Sabbath 
desecration.  All  over  our  land,  lam  told, 
thousands  of  our  farm  boys  are  trained 
to  trample  the  Lord’s  day.  I  have  been  a 
teacher  of  history,  and  my  historians  tell 
me  the  crushing  of  this  day  is  the  prelude 
to  nations’  fall.  All  such  work  as  the 
above,  no  matter  how  profitable,  is  help¬ 
ing  to  undermine  our  national  existence. 
Ohio.  O.  II.  PENNELL. 
R.  N.-Y,— We  do  not  conduct  a  road¬ 
side  market  chiefly  because  of  this  Sun¬ 
day  work  which  it  makes  necessary.  Many 
of  the  buyers  claim  that  they  cannot  come 
on  any  other  day !
