it was developed that the present scarcity of cool was uniform

situation can improve is to have milder weather, thus reducing

COAL RECEIVED _
The week from January 28th to February 42h came very
close to being a “white-washed“ week for getting coal. The
only coal received by the local dealers during these dates was
one car, 28 tons nut” coal, and'three cars. 120 t ons soft coal.

Some time ago the writer attended
a dinner at which were present
very many of the representatives of
workers of the United
States in engineering and business.
They were addressed by men who had
spent their time in Russia, in France
and in England on the firing line and
throughout the countries engaged in
war. ‘ The addresses made were seri-
ous. Direct to people who were man-
aging the by enterprises. Many of
the men present wore inactive service
of the United States and wore unl-
forms of the various departments of
the- government. ,
The keynote of the whole thing was
