New England is in no immediate
danger of coal famine. According
TO w. X. Bachelor. secretary OF the
Retail Coal Dealers Association, the
only cities and towns which are ex-
I.-iencing the need Of coal are those
Which are inland and are not reached
Sy the New York New Haven Hart
fol- railroad.
This road is illing all the demands
made upon il for transportation, and
Fell River, Providence, Boston, Ports
mouth, Portland Bangor and the
other cities along the coast are well
supplied by means OF barges.
The next few months promise 10 be
uncomfortable ones for the dogs OF
Greater Boston TO say the least, and
n the regulations that have been passed
by ,As arious city and town fathers
are carried out the CANNES bid fair to
lead a veritable dogs life" Laws
compelling the muZzling OF dogs, un-
der penalty of shooting If the law Is
not obeyed. have already beeh passed
and are operative in Melrose, Reading,
Revere. Chelsea and Winchester and
N several other places.
From all over the country reports
have come in OF the extraordinary
prosperity which the United States en-
toyea in the year 1906. Ia response 10
many requests Secretary of the Treas
ury Shaw has prepared and published
q resume of the years financial record,
IN which he says that "Our only anx-
iety need be lest we fail Of facilities
20 properly garner, store. transport
and market our multiplied blessings"
During the year 1906 Boston regained
her foreign trade, and for volume of
business all records were broken. She
firmly established her place as second
port Of the nation and added greatly
10 her commercial prestige.
The best feature of all these re-
ports OF unprecedented prosperity is,
that the outlook affords ground for
nothing but optimism, If only as
people we avoid the temptations TO
tmprudent haste TO do and to get too
much.
BY an unanimous vote OF the school
board at recent meeting the name

building, one of the group OF three
stately structures now being construct
ed in the Fenway, near Mrs. Jack Gard
A
Harvard Iedigal School building

the Patrick A. Collins Model School.

by II. j. Kenney, chairman OF the
committee of three on selecting names
for school buildings.
The other members Of the comit-
tee arc David A. Ellis and w. S. Ken
ney. The name was the unanimous
choice of the committee and the board.
Tho birth OF new year is looked
forward To universally by people in
every line of business as n har Ginger
OF brighter and better prospects. TO
the men interested in the automobil
industry In New England, and particu-
larly Boston. this is especially true.
Not that their line has failed to be
productive Of successful results.
an fact the motor INDUSTRY has been
,Syt,cul.rly profitable here. - there
10 one field where motor cars have
made rapid progress that particular
section is New England So Judging
by the past, 1907 promises to be even
more surprising
Month after month has seen steady
increase among the users OF motor
cars in the east. Today they are SO
commonly used in all the larger cities
~ to be found generally in groups
IN the business districts.
On the sixth floor OF the Chamber
of Commerce building there is a pret-
~ little Office which the real estate
trustees of the building, with fine dis
regard for cold commercial principles,
have decided TO put TO most unusual
use. II is TO be rest room for the
young women employed in the build
y.
case of illness or fatigue, and is the
first o. its kind in any Boston Office
building, although II is believed that
other buildings will follow suit. 1t is
q tardy admission that woman has
come TO stay in business and that con-
cessions must be made to her.
One afternoon recently a reception
was held and tea served in the daintily
furnished room and more that $50 per-
socs partook Of the hospitality OF the
''rest room" The room contains
comfortable couch, half a dozen easy
chairs, a pretty center table, and will
be adorned with pictures.
