HENRY WILKINSON’S SECRET When Henry Wilkinson died at a ripe old age, the whole town buzzed with gossip and curiosity about his affairs. He had not been a “man cf mystery” during his life, but just a plain, everyday citizen who was more or less an invalid and who had long go retired from business. He lived in a modest way, and nobody suspected that he had done anything unusual during his lifetime. Then suddenly, it was discovered that he had left a fortune! Where had the old man gotten it? Some folks whispered about a mysterious invention, patented in Mr. Wilkinson's youth, which had brought him wealth. But people who knew him long ago said he had never invented any. thing. The matter remained a complete mystery. Then, one day, a group of men gathered in a lawyer's office on business. The attorney was a life-long friend of Henry Wilkinson and was executor of his estate. Unexpectedly, he let the secret drop. The men who were gathered there were struck dumb with aston. ishment when Mr. Wilkinson's method of accumulating wealth was revealed—the more so because it was a method which every one of them could adopt with equal success if he wanted to. You Can Do What Wilkinson Did There was nothing sensational, nothing speculative or mysterious about Henry Wilkinson's plan.

The decline in coal produc- tion and decreased deliveries of that already mined threatened numerous in- dustries with paralysis and_ suspension. As an outstanding instance, Henry Ford announced that, owing to shortage of coal, of which he required 3,800 tons a v. he would be compelled to close his immense plants on September 16, throw- ing 75,000 men out of employment, be- sides imposing more or less idleness on hundreds of thousands of others engaged in industries supplying the Ford enter- prise with materials. This big pebble cast into the pool of prosperity caused wide commotion, but tens of thousands of lesser concerns, not affiliated with Ford's, were preparing, perforce, to follow the example. Factories, stores, schools, churches, and dwellings innumerable faced a distressing lack of fuel, with cold weather not far awa The nation was suddenly constrained to give new and 28 anxious attention to its problems of heat, light and motive power. IS evident that the American people have been placing too much reliance on asingle source of fuel supply. The forests long since ceased to be a factor in the case, and water power has been only partially utilized. The principal depend- ence for many years past for heat, light and power in industrial establishments and in homes has been black diamonds, dug with drudgery from the depths of the earth, conveyed at heavy cost for long dis- tances from’ the mines to points of need and subject to frequent fluctuations. in quantity and price. Coal, in fact, has secured a stranglehold on industry and commerce and has become a tyrant in- stead of a servant. Rather late in the day there has begun a revolt against this domination. Oil is emerging as a rival, and on ships, in skyscrapers, in manufac- turing plants, in vehicles of transport- wherever there are engines to be driven— the reign of coal is at last being dispute by oil.
