BRIDGEPORT BOY
 DROWNED IN SOUTHERN WATERS

A sad termination of the pleasure trip which was being pursued in Southern waters upon the local yacht Vagabond which left this city but a few weeks ago under the most aus picious circumstances, was telegraph ed to this city late yesterday when Mrs. Hilma Rfngstrom, of 1521 Fair field avenue was notified of the drown ing of her son, Gottfried, at Delaware City. Del
 Accompanying Captain Willett A. Marshall and two sons, who reside at 120 Henry street, young Ringstrom left this city upon the auxiliary yacht Vajgabo ond with a party for a sojourn in the South. Although but meagre details of the accident have reached the prostrated mother, it is believed that capsizing canoe in which sew eral persons tried to reach shore from the yacht is directly responsible for the tragedy. It is further reported that George Marshall made heroic effort to save the boys life but with out success. The body has not been recovered.

THE COAL MARKET.
Goal Trade Journa1.)

While there has been some easing off of conditions during the past week, the period of scarcity and premiums is by no means over. The shortage of 6,OO0,00 tons on the years figures will loom up continually for a long while. While the market will grad tually diminish over the course of weeks as substitutions and economics play their part in omsetting the great loss of tonnage, the time is far dis tant when there will be a surplus of hard coal on the market. Therefore the trade position of anthracite is one of the most unusual strength. com pared with any other important article of commerce. Indeed soft coal men can count upon benefits for them selves arising from hard coaPs un1- que situation The country is grow ing, more coal must be had all the time, if the anthracite mines can't supply it the bituminous mines can and will.

Baste 1t often with the milk. Melt little butter in the milk later on. and at the last let the milk cook away.
 Remove it from the oven and peel off the skin, then loosen the hesh from the bone and remove the bone. Sprinkle the fish with fine buttered en until slightly Drowned. Take out on a platter in the original shape. and pour one pint of creamed oysters in to the cavity and around the fish. This will make a. delicious sauce.-Mary J. Lincoln.

AUTO INDUSTRY
IS DIVIDING
Horace De Lisser Talks on Re
failing Methods in
This County.

That the automobile industry is
sharply dividing itself into two groups
or classes of makers and dealers. one
Of whom is a menace to the industry
and the other a strong safeguard, IS
the statement Of Horace De Lisser,
vtce-president OF the United States
Motor Company. who has Just returned
from a trip TO all of the important
motor car selling centres in the coun-
try.
"Getting close TO tho vitals OF the au-
tomobile industry is getting close TO
The dealer who sells the product" said
MIR. DeLisser. IT know Of very few
Industries whose strength and business
integrity are more accurately reflected
than in the retail end of the automo-
bile business.
Considering the rapidity with which
the industry has grown to be a practi-
cal and worldwide means of trans
%portation, il is only natural that 1t
should be composed of many radically
different elements and that there should
be a great variance in the aims and
ideals of it's many units.
However, In the past yea the trade
has passed through a greater evolution
than in any other year. Because of he
aggressive work of a few leaders Of the
industry 1t has shaped itself in a pro-
nounced manner along those we'll de-
1fned lines which have characterized
the other great industries Of the coun-
try.
'Strong manufacturers have strength
ened their positions, increased their
manufacturing facilities along rational
lines, built better motor cars and eX-
tended their selling fields, at the same
time limiting the sale of their products
to worthy, responsible dealers who en-
Joy a measure of public confidence
equal to that of the manufacturer.
"On the other hand the same factors
which have permitted wholesome bust
ness expansion in one case have pre-
vented 1t in another. The weaker com-
panies have found that it is not easy
to meet the competition furnished by
the strong, progressive firms, which
are we'll e~ntrenched in the business
with ample facilities and capital. Thor
inability to keep pace with the growing
development of manufacturing pro-
cesses and with the increasing values
that are offered has caused a great re-
alignment of selling forces.
Just as their manufacturing eXis-
becomes precarious, so their SELL
ing field is pervaded with an atmosr
phere of uncertainty and there is "a
