In a large number of cases where oj] is now being used the same work could be done just as well by coal and it would seem as if the time had come to require by law that coal be the fuel in all such cases, as a means of conserving our oil supply. “Now as to.the mechanical preblem.

Lady Nancy Astor, the only woman sitting in Parliament, spoke against the bill which Sir Arthur so strongly en- dorsed. The interview loses none of its interest through measure’s defeat. Divorce is a national question, and no view of it that is tinged by per- sonal considerations is worth any- thing.
