Coal-meter is an old name given to one who superintended the measuring of coals.

Coalstone is a species of hard, opaque, inflammable coal, which does not soil or dirty the Angers when touched. It is jet-black, and can be cut. Brown coal has been found at Bovey, Devonshire and on the Continent. Coal-hod Is an old-fashioned name for scuttle. Gas light can be traced back over 200 years.

A Mr. T. Shirley, In 1660, attributed a burning well at Wigan to the presence of coal underneath it. Just about this time a Mr. Clayton procured gas by distilling coal.

Practical lighting, however, came very slowly. In 1702 a Mr. Murdoch illuminated his house with gaslight, and a very poor show it is said to have been. He lived at Ee-druth, Cornwall. In 1802, Birmingham, in celebrating the peace of Amiens, brightened up a large factory with gaslight.

The deliberations and action of this first national conference on parks should' interest the whole country. It is expected that both Secretary Payne and Director Mather of the national park service will attend.

More than 3,000 invitations have been sent out to individuals and organizations known to be "actively interested. And Governor Harding also announced that the attendance was not limited to persons specifically invited, for everybody interested In the park movement would be welcome. The conference will discuss matters of all kinds pertaining to national, state and local parks. President-elect Harding was in Denver March 10 last long before the Chicago convention and aid, among other things, in an address before the Mile High club "I like the slogan 'See America In these days of the motorcar we slight revise it and say 'Motor in America This is the automobile Jage.

All America is motoring and leaving a golden trail behind. I Want the golden trail in the United States and the education and pride in the country which attend. "We are so vast, so varied, so physically beyond compare, that it is good to think of America first and know America first, and do the practical things which prosper America first. "I shall never be content until I can motor from "Washington to Denver in comfort, and from this gateway motor safely and rejoicingly over a circuit of our national parks and know the inspira-. tion and rejoicings that ever must attend." This is the keynote of the Des Moines conference.

But the slogan of the conference goes still farther and declares: It should be made possible for a citizen of the United States to travel in his automobile from the Atlantic to the Pacific and camp every night on public ground fitted up for his comfort national, state, municipal and local parks. "I have observed that from time to time," says Secretary Payne in his letter of suggestion to Governor Harding, "suggestion's are made for the creation of national parks out of scenic areas that for definite reasons should be taken, up by the states themselves, and there are undoubtedly many-parks suggested to the state park authorities that should he taken up by counties and municipalities. Recently there has been a widespread desire on the part of state park authorities to confer among themselves and with the national park service, not alone on this question but regarding the possibility of securing uniform state park legislation throughout the country and the discussion of park problems in general. "The requests for such a conference have become so insistent that it now seems a national necessity, promising the greatest results to the participants and the states they represent." Secretary Payne suggested Des Moines as a meeting place for the conference because of the "extraordinary results in the field of state park creation and development achieved by the state of Iowa under its public park act," from which the delegates can learn much. Governor Harding's invitation to the conference -contains the following: "Co-operating with the Honorable John Barton Payne, secretary of the Interior, and in recognition of the importance of the public park movement throughout the United States, the governor of Iowa has the honor to invite you to a national conference on parks, to be held in Des Moines, January 10-11-12, inclusive, A program will be presented of addresses and discussions by eminent leaders upon the necessity of the establishment and maintenance of national, state and local parks: upon legislation, administration and use of parka; upon harmonizing and co-ordinating these and upon all allied subjects." The truth of the situation is that what may be called the "national park movement" has so big that it must be organized, regulated and for many other irrigation projects in this and other parks.

Thus mission a scenic survey of the state, and that body says it finds much state park material and much that is mere properly local. A scenic survey of all the states, made by the" General Federation of Women's Clubs, shows areas suitable for national, state and local parks. The conference will wrestle with this embarrassment of riches. It is hoped and expected that out of its deliberations will come a classification and standardization of park areas' and a draft of a standard state park law, which can be amended by the'several states to suit local conditions. When Senator Harding declared, "All America is motoring and leaving a golden trail behind," he said something, as the tongue of the day has it.

The official national parks attendance figures for 1920 give a hint of this motor travel. In 1916 there were visitors to the national parks and probably a large majority of them went by railroad. In 1920 there were 919,504 visitors, and more than 65 per cent of them were traveling in their own cars. In 1917 private cars were recorded to the number of last season, 12S.074. These cars bore the license plates of every state in the Union.

All conference roads lead to Des Moines because it is the capital of a state that has the real park spirit and is doing things the right The Thirty-seventh general assembly created a state board of conservation. The Thirty-eight assembly, endowed this board with $100,000 a year and otherwise empowered it. The members of this board, who serve without pay, are: Dr. L. H.

PammelT Ames, chairman; Joseph Kelso, Bellevue; John F. Ford, Fort Dodge, and Edgar R. Harlan, Des Moines, secretary. The Iowa State park law is a working instrument. The state board of conservation, with the written consent of the executive council, has the power to establish public parks in all suitable places and to improve them and make them accessible from the public highways.

The board has power to purchase or condemn lands for both park and highway purposes. Secretary Harlan, who is curator of the state historical department, delivered an eloquent address July 24, 1919, before the Des Moines Ro-tarians. The state has published it with the title, "Iowa Law, Policy and Proceedings Upon a System of Public State Parks and Reservations." "In Iowa," says Mr. Harlan, "it is but a short spin from prairie lands to fairy lands." He goes on to enumerate some the beauty spots and places of historic arid scientific interest in a country of farming land worth up to $500 an acre. "But." he cannot go swimming, boating, fishing, camping nor play ball, unless in cities, without trespassing." After sketching the situation from the viewpoints of both recreationist and owner, he says in part: "Recognizing these conflicting truths, respecting these inharmonious interests, the state set out to open, acquire and preserve some of these areas.

Due compensation shall be made to private owners. Appropriate provision will be made that the healthful may resort, to the open air with safety, without contempt of fellow citizens and with full seif-respect. Areas unique for scenery will be acquired. Those embracing objects and materials useful or Interesting In scientific study will be reserved. Grounds will be bought whereon occurred important scenes in early and recent social life where prehistoric works exist; where lie the ashes of our great, where shafts that speak of all these facts should stand.

Shore lines of lakes and rivers reservoirs steeps and slopes deforested in early days will be secured. Some will be replanted, in time, with useful and attractive trees. Small roadside areas on streams, in shade, will be provided where families touring may camp overnight and rise in the morning without passing cars having filled with dust their bed and breakfast. All this, In time to come, is the state's objective." Chairman Pammel, who is a member of the fac- ulty of Iowa State college, reports that in the two years of the board's existence It has secured 14 Rocky Mountain, with 13,343 more visitors than the other four parks combined, had an appropriation of $40,000 as against $713,000, with an offset ot about $250,000 in revenues produced. On the basis of the 1922 fiscal year estimates the discrimination against Rocky Mountain will be still more marked next summer, as it will have but $150,000 as against $1,615,337.
