...course of a long automobile ride we a saw a very interesting system of open brown-coal workings, in the district near Hallo. This "Braunkohl" is taken from thick deposits by steam shovels, and is sent in various directions by cable ways, some of considerable length, to the plants where by-products are recovered and the carbon residue pressed into fuel briquettes. Roughly half of the coal burned in Germany is processed before being used as fuel. On this trip one of the large Haber process plants for fixation of atmospheric nitrogen was seen from the road.

The opinions of those who ride on the buses because they can smoke on the upper deck, and the opinions of those who object to have smoke, fire, and ashes in their eyes and hair are all set down in a pleasantly written and charmingly printed booklet by the coach company. Ah, yes! As charming...
