MUST BURN COAL
Is Ultimatum From Utilities
Commission
On the Kansas Natural Gas
Supply.
SUPPLY is rs PER CENT SHORT
Says Henderson Martin i'm Let
ter to Mayors.
Will Be No Gas for Cooking.
He Says.

! Henderson S. Martin, chairman of the
public utilities commission, will this
week send letters to mayors of the
Kansas gas towns, urging them to no.
tlfy gas consumers that there will be
an inadequate supply of gas this WIN
ter and that a full coal bin will be the
| only real safeguard against a possible
severe winter. According to Martin S
advises from experts EN- ioyed by the
utilities commission, the gas supply
this winter will be but about one-half
that of last winter and the supply last
year was sufficient to meet only about
one-half of the demand.
During 1912, the Kansas Natural Gas
company was able to supply about 30
million thousand cubic feet of gas
That meant an average of two and a
half million thousand cubic feet a.
month. But as the pressure is much
heavier during the summer months
than in the winter months, the Decem-
Der, January and February pressure
was decidedly low and at just the time
when gas consumers were wanting a
strong pressure.
ReciteS Gas Troubles.
In his letter to Kansas mayors, Mar
tin will recite the troubles of the utili-
ties commission and the failure of the
state to compel the Kansas Natural tc
extend its pipe lines to new gas fields
in Kansas and Oklahoma. This failure
on the part of the gas company and
its receivers to secure an extra supply
of fuel, Martin contends. is due to the
present conditions and means that Kan
sas will virtually be without gas this
winter
There will be no gas for cooking pur-
poses in any of the towns supplied by
the Kansas Natural, Martin insists,
and consumers must content themselves
with a low pressure for lighting pur-
poses only.
II am convinced that the gas sup
ply this winter will be only about
one-half of that furnished in 1912
49," said Martin, "and the supply
last winter was equal to only about
half the demand on the part of con-
For that reason, 1 will ad-
wise the mayors of the different towns
to issue statement to consumers
advising them of the conditions as
we have found them and to let the
public know that the pressure next
winter will be but about one-fourth
the required amount. In my opinion,
there will be no gas for cooking pur
poses and consumers must limit
themselves to the use of gas for
lighting only
The Martin letters will probably be
mailed from the office of the utili- |
ties commission some time this week. +,

DESIGNS NOT YET SETTLED
Lines of Costumes, That Are Regular
in Paris, May Not Suit Women
of America.

There are all kinds of rumors as
to the new silhouette which one or
two of the leading houses on the
other side of the ocean are said to
be starting. The tight line round the
hips and knees of coats is yielding to
straight fullness. Some coats gather
at the waistline and so descend to the
knees, where they often form a point
at the back The straight line of the
Russian blouse is ousting the shaped
revers. All this we owe to the Rus
sian dancers, but it remains to be
proved whether they will suit Amer
lean women.
These coats are carried out in satin,
crepe satin and crepe de chine, not in
heavy stuffs. The hlouses have deep
pink sashes from waist to bust. Into
this crossing folds of tulle disappear
back and front The sleeves are long.
There is no collar band, which is re.
placed by a Medici collar, the neck
left bare, and very often a band OF
fur surrounds the collar Every mar

FLOWERS FOR THE CORSAGE
Just Now the Somber Tones Are
Most Favored by Those Who
Lead the Seasons Fashions.

II you'd be quite in the mode this
winter you'll have an assortment of
the new big velvet flowers that, I'M
like the real live ones, can be steam
ed fresh when they seem to wilt.
The vogue for somber tones makes
carefully chosen corsage bouquet a
touch of particular Importance. To
be in good taste, the blossom must
always be in season.
Just now it's correct to wear a
couple of tawny velvet chrysanthe-
NUNS, or bouquet of mountain ash
berries. Soon violets will form the
corsage bouquet, scented SO naturally
that one who isn't very sharp will
take them for the really-truly kind
The idea of matching the flowers
used to catch the stole with those in
troduced on the hat is also used, but
in this case the corsage bouquet
frankly declares itself artificial A
water lily in black velvet, with white
satin lining and a CLEAN of gold in
the heart of the blossom, is one OF
the favorite devices in this connec-
ton, while for evening wear the same
flower is well to the fore, being used
to catch up the soft glistening folds
of the satin or velvet robe, while it
usually masquerades in metal tissue
trimmed with diamonds, as though a
shower of dewdrops had been shaken
lightly over the flowers.
A clump Of two or three full blown
water lilies, with shower of close
shut pendant buds dropping from
them, makes a lovely decoration for

Sway of the Police MAGISTRATE

In New York upward of 200, 900 per
sons were arreigned before the police
magistrates during the year 1910 and
another hundred thousand were prob.
ably brought into their courts by sum-
mons. Over this huge army of people,
many of whom are entirely innocent
of any offense, the magistrates exert
an almost undisputed sway, for their
decisions are in nine cases out of ten
absolutely final.
In other words, they pass Judgment
upon the personal liberty and rights
of more than $4,000 citizens every
month Of the year, and, save in a few
instances. their decisions are accent.
ed without appeal or review of any
kind. No other tribunal in the land
administers justice on so vast a scale
or exerts anything even approaching
so unbridled power. 1t is at once

sided over by cadi, supreme arbiter

Deadbeats of One Pattern
Veteran Credit Man Says They All

Tricks.

"Deadbeats," remarked an old credit
man, "all talk alike. They are plausi

are SO free and easy they deceive ev.
cry one but the most astute credit
man. When they are dunned the first
time they make a frank and positive
promise to pay on certain date. They
do this so unreservedly that suspicion
is disarmed. OF course they don't pay
but they have Some of the best ex.
cuses in the world. They have had a
run of hard luck, for instance. If
the merchant takes this we'll, they will
ask for more credit. II the merchant
is obdurate they will come back with
the statement that the merchant is
making 1t unnecessarily hard for them
to get along by crowding them; they
will hint. also. that others have been
soliciting their trade.
Right there is the time to come
down on them hard. Shut off their
credit. Usually 1t is useless to sue,
for such persons are judgment proof.
The next move is to let them think
you have forgotten them. Ihey al

who keeps nagging them all the time,

Elaborate Accessories

Accessories for the sewing room are
growing quite elaborate. Pin cushions
come in the form of dolls, with bisque
heads and legs, while the body is the
fat cushion. Sometimes the same
idea is used for a button box. The
head and shoulders Of the doll come
off and the hollow, fat body is used
to keep buttons in. In this case the
doll is dressed after the order of the
Yama girl. with the bloomer gathered
tight to the knee and the tiny bare
legs dangling
