DETECTIVES SEARCH
FOR MISSING YOUTH
Boy Who Left His Home in Michigan
In September Thought to Be
on Way to Los
Angeles

Somewhere in Los Angeles, it is be-
lieved, a youth of II, whose mental ca
pacity is that of boy of 13, wanders,
vainly searching for a relative. Howard
A. Whitney of Ontario, Cal.
The police have been appealed to by
Mr.. Whitney to aid in his search for the
youth and are doing all they can to find
the missing boy.
The young man is Robert Charles and is
described as being about 5 feet 10 inches
tall; he weighs 150 to 160 pounds; has a
light complexion, light fluffy hair, blue
eyes and is of a very nervous tempera-
ment.
Young Charles ran away from his home
in Adrian, Mich, October 20, with the
intention of coming to Los Angeles, where
he expected to find Mr.. Whitney. Word
was received in Ontario Friday that the
boy was seen in Denver November and
his condition at that time leads the Of
fcers to believe he will reach Los An
geles only after beating his way on the
railroads.

CONFIDENCE IN MONEY
MARKET is RESTORED
Crowds Attend Sales at Broadway De-
partment Store and Managers Are
Confident Season VIII Be
Busy One

''Do YOU believe confidence Is restored
in the money market? Just stand here
and notice the crowd that has beer
thronging this store since we opened al
8 o'clock this morning" said II. s. Car
roll, advertising manager Of the Broad
way department store yesterday after
noon, as he pointed to the thousands OF
purchasers who crowded the aisles OF
that establishment.
1--WE have had the largest crowd pass
through our doors today that has visited
this store in several months" continued
Mr. Carroll land the majority of the Wis
itors were purchasers.
when the doors were, opened at y
o'clock there were more than 800 persons
standing outside and waiting OF course
many of them were attracted by the sales
we had advertised for today, but still a
large number passed up the counters
where the sales were being held and pat
ronized other departments in the store.
'This leads me to the belief that con-
fidence has been restored, and those who
have been boarding their money since the
scare started have suddenly decided that
all is we'll and to again place their saw
hgs in circulation.
Myself and the managers or the dlr-
ferent departments are convinced that
from this time on we will have the busiest
season in the history of the store, and
you may be sure we are preparing for 1t.
1--WE have talked 1t over this afternoon,
and, judging from the sales today, have
arrived at the conclusion that the winter
season will prove so lively that our force
of clerks will have to be largely increased.
1--WE will open a Christmas display
which will undoubtedly attract
attention from thousands of persons. We
intend showing Santa Claus castle and
have the old saint himself on duty. Small
presents will be given the children who
come to get acquainted with Santa and
who wish to visit his home.
"The fact that the people of Los An
yeles have made up their minds that
there is no sense in fearing a financial
panic any longer is gratifying to the
business men of the city who have been
1oing all in their power to avert crisis.
They now feel their efforts have not been
n vain and are willing to continue to deal

BR!QUETTE. THE NEW FUEL.

1t is hardly to be supposed that the
long suffering householder will ever get
any benefit from it, but the report re-
ceived at the navy department this
week Of the successful trial of briuuete
fuel on the torpedo boat Biddle, opens
up new and interesting vista in the
fuel problem and promises the coal
mines g new lease Of life. Estimates
made by competent scientists in the past
year put a.period of IS years for the
life Of the existing. hard coal mines at
the present rate Of consumption. This
was assuming that there was no new
way found Of utilizing fuel for the pro-
duction Of light, heat and power. But
the fuel division Of the Geological Sur
vey has been working on the problem
and has found out number of import
ant things of which the test of briouette
fuel is one Of the concrete demonstra-
tons. Briquettes are blocks of fuel
made from slack coal or low grade
coal, mixed with q small percentage of
pitch or other substance to hold it to-
gether and shaped.under great pressure.
They have never been used in this
country heretofore because coal was too
cheap and plenty. But now that the
end of the coal is within measurable
distance, it is comforting to know that
they can be made and will do the work
In fact it is said that they proved better
for steam producing on the Biddle than
first class coal that was used under one
of the other boilers. There are millions
of tons of slack coal on the dumps of
the coal mines in this country. All of
this has hitherto been considered waste
Now 1t is valuable asset. But the
fuel experts have discovered another
thing in their investigation, and that is
that the gas engine is more economical
than the Steam engine Of the same
horsepower. 1t has found also that
more and better gas for engine pur-
poses can be made from low grade coal
and Ignite, heretofore absolutely useless
for fuel, than can be made from the
best high grade coal. This opens up an
almost limitless field of fuel that exists
in most parts Of the United States and
that has always been considered value
less. All these discoveries will tend to
prolong the life of the coal mines and
ought to reduce the price of coal to the
householder. They probably will not,
but it is something even to know that
they should.

STEADY SPREAD OF PROHIBITION
Ii Now Covers About One haIf OF the
State of Maryland.

Mr.. Edwin Higgins Baltimore, is pre-
pairing the draft of the local-option law
which the Anti-Saloon League will urge
the Legislature to pass. Mr.. Higgins
is a well known veteran in the temper
ance cause. He was president of the
Maryland State Temperance Alliance
from 1884 to 1891, inclusive, and was
the Prohibition party candidate for Gov
ernor in 1891 The local option bill that
he is preparing is based on the Illinois
law.
Mr.. Higgins researches show that a
state Of Legislative chaos exists in Ma
rYland that is probably without a par
allel in the country. Not only are diff
ferent counties under different laws re-
lating to the liquor traffic, but different
districts and parts of districts are under
different laws.
Legislation against the liquor traffic
dates back to the Colonial period. As
early as 1902, the Society of Friends of
West River petitioned the Governor and
his council to prohibit the sale of liquor
within two miles of their westinghouse,
and in 1725 finally succeeded in obtain
ing the desired law. 1t has been the

THREE DOUBLE HOLIDAYS.
A Glance at The Calendar For The
Next Year.

Next year Washington Birthday,
Memorial Day and the Fourth of July
fall on Saturday, thus giving the public
three double holidays. Ordinarily these
three do not come on the same day Of
the week, but by the Intervention of
February % this year Washington S
Birthday falls just IA weeks earlier
than Memorial Day, which regularly
comes five weeks before the Fourth of
July. The advantage to the busy pub
lie of having these holidays fall on Sat
urday so that they have two days of
leisure together is obvious. In creating
the last holiday Day advant-
age of this principle was taken in the
selection of Monday instead of a select
ed day of the month. In 1909 Wash
ington's Birthday falls on Monday and
May so and the Fourth Of July on Sun
day, which viii mean a Monday obser-
vance, so that for two years in success
sion double holidays are assured. In
the latter year Christmas will also fall
on Saturday, thereby affording the
most complete trial of the double holi-
day possible in our calendar.

same character ever since. The first
prohibltory law passed by the Legisla-
ture of the State of Maryland was the
Act of 1916, Chapter 80. The act made
it unlawful for the clerk of the Mont
gomery county Circuit Court to issue
licenses within three miles of the Dis
trict Of Columbia line and certain other
localities, without special order of the
court on petition of respectable inhabi-
tants Of the neighbOrhood.

Chesapeake Beach, Caroline, Cecil,
