he was bought and caught the first
Labor day game against Cincinnati,

NAVY COALING
UP ALL AROUND
THE WORLD
BIG RUSH TO LOAD STATIONS
ALONG COAST; MANY
SHIPS WORKING.

SAN FRANCISCO. Juyl 25.-The
United States government is storing
large quantities of coal at various
points in the Pacific The bunkers
Of the South American ports, Pearl
Harbor and the Philippines are being
filled as rapidly as the GOLFERS can
carry the fuel.
Twenty big coal carriers laden with
total of 10000 tons of coal from
Norfolk, Baltimore and Newport News
are now stationed at points on the
Pacific where their cargoes can be
available at moments notice.
Although nearly all of the coal
fleet will eventually discharge into
the mammoth bunkers at California
City, none we're dispatched to this
port at the time they had completed
loading. In each instance the vessel
cleared for a port remote from San
Francisco.
Nearly one-half the coal fleet was
ordered to various ports along the
Pacific coast of South America, where
the fuel scattered along thousands
of miles of coast would be available.
While the 5000 ton coal units are
steaming toward Valparaiso, Antofo-
gasta, Iquique or Taltzi, other sup
plies are being sent to Pearl Harbor,
Honolulu, where additional bunkers
have been completed
A half dozen of the freighters were
dispatched to the Asiatic station via
the Suez canal The bunkers hoard
ed by Uncle Sam in the Philippines
are completely filled and when add
tional ships arrive there they are
ordered to continue across the Pacifi
to San Francisco.
The British freighter Manchester
Citizen and one other vessel have
already completed this route, and
their cargoes have been added to the
california city bunkers, which have
been increased in capacity until a
total Of 100000 tons Of coal can be
stored there.
Nearly all of the carriers are Brit
ish tramp freighters which are usu-
ally chartered on this coast to take
away Pacific coast products.
As result of the wholesale ship
ping of the government the price of
ship chagters for August, September
and October loading has fallen until
foreign charters are begging with
few takers

BARN SWALLOW, CHIMNEY SWEEP AND KING BIRD
BY JULIE ADAMS POWELL.

When the King bird arrives in the
early spring with his bride from the
south, he guards her most jealously,
and fights most pugnaciously all 9TH
ers of his kind who come near.
Noted for his fighting nature, the
King bird is entitled to his royal name,
and is also called the tyrant Fly Catch
'er, and from his epicurean love of in
sects. he is known again as the Bee
Martin, although far removed from the
Martin family, being really one of the
Fly Catchers.
He possesses no noble qualities, as
without provocation he often allows
"his angry passions to rise. and
makes bold and aggressive attacks on
the crow, and often chases away
from his field the less offensive small
birds. Very like the Indians of the
western plains. the King bird never
likes to meet a foe in open warfare.
preferring to swoop down upon some
unoffending neighbor, giving him a
