The lack of work is the great men- ace: that darkens the days of the workers. Tt introducés anxiety into millions of homes, it creates unrest, and makes people feel that the pres- ent social system is radically wrong. ||| i In the coal industry, which is : usually slack=in the spring and early 'summer, the most obvious means to | stabilize this condition, is to offer coal at a marked reduction if bought ' early in the season. That plan has + 'sometimes been opposed, on the ground'that it would be unfair to the 'people who have no money ahead and 'who must buy it in a hand to mouth © way. Yet it would so stimulate the "spring buying that it would help the 'mines to run with greater regularity, and it ought to make coal cost much less for everybody.

They were told by the coach to allow themselves to fall from a certain position = without making any effort to save themselves, The coach evidently felt they needed a certain course of toughening. Anxious mothers probably lamented over the bruised knees and elbows when they Such exercises in rough and tumble have value provided they are directed by competent people. ' One can imagine that an inexperienced coach might ask them to do some stunt that could cause serious injury.
