1t is to be understood, Mrs. Jen-
nings pointed out, that this enter
prise is in nowise to compete with
the Red Cross or any other benevo-
lent industry. On the contrary 1t is
to be a helper" but it is believed
that by interesting every woman who
has relative in the great conflict
this association can cover a field rot
yet touched.
II am not in position yet" said
Mrs. Jennings to give out the details
of what we expect to accomplish. 1t
will take a little time to arrange so
that we may not in any way conflict
with other societies. But this may
be taken for granted at least-we
will ask for no fees. We appreciate
that the call for funds has been
pretty severe and we have no desire
to overdo the thing. Furthermore
we do not want to take any funds
from any other work. But with the
cooperation that we plan and the
thorough canvassing by districts we
count on arousing such q spirit of
generosity that the soldier boys will
get home and home comforts no mat
ter in what desperate plight they
may be.
THE method for getting the name
of every woman relative in, the city
will probably be a distinct registra-
ton. That is to say we will open
branch offices in various parts of the
city, where any woman may tele-
phone and leave particulars. There
Will also be scheme of canvassing.
{ l do hope that we will get many sug-
Sestions for a good name, because the

COAL in SMALL
LOTS DISCUSSED
BY COMMITTEE,
Hickok Fuel Administration
Considers Important Prob
lem at Second Meeting

The second meeting of the
Dauphin Fuel Administration took
place this afternoon in the office OF
Walter =. Mcguire. The meeting
was called by Ross A. Hickok, fuel
administrator, for the purpose of
settling a number of minor ques-
tions that have confronted the com
mittee. Among other things that
were taken up were he matters of
the delivery of the coal in small
quantities to the minor consumer,
and the prices to be charged FOR
such lots.
The Retail Coal Dealers Asso-
citation sent Representatives TO the
meeting this afternoon to Discus
with the committee the questions
that will come before it. Mr..
Hickok has stated his intention of
working with the coal dealer, and
carrying on the duties of his office
with as little discord as possible. At
a meeting yesterday the Coal
Dealers Association expressed their
intention of working with the fuel
administrator.
The fuel dictator has two mem
bers TO appoint to his committee
yet, but is taking time to select men
who will be most useful to the or
ganization, Mr.. Hickok stated to-
day that in his opinion there ought
to be an accountant, or expert re-
tail coal man, in case of trouble be-
tween dealers and consumers, who
could, if necessary, go over the
books of the company. against which
any complaint is made. A number
of names will be considered, and
one or two men may be selected
this afternoon.
The committee has had no trouble
as yet, Mr.. Hickok says. The Hum
melstown Consolidated Water Com
pany ran out of coal this week and
appealed to the fuel administrator,
who supplied them during the crisis
with carload of coal borrow
from the Reading Company. Coal
has now been procured 20 last the
company period of two or three
weeks and arrangements for ade-
quate shipments have been made,
Mr.. Hickok said.

Crystal Falls Chapter Is "A Stacker
When II Comes TO Knitting.

ANY Red Cross notes this week ~
inquired reporter for The Diamond
Drill from one OF the workers yester-
day
"Yes, Crystal Falls Is so far benin
the schedule" was the reply, that
we really feel discouraged Can't
you do something TO stir the women
OF this city up for us?' she continued.
Here we are al time when We
ought 20 have the work allotted to us
almost completed. Iron River has
pretty nearly accomplished all that
the women over there set out to do,
but Crystal Falls is so far behind
that It is question II we ever catca
up"
In response TO a query as to the
reason for this falling down by Crys
tai Falls. she replied:
Its just because our women don't
work. They seem TO have time for
almost everything else but knitting
| don't understand a. can mention
young school girls who are knitting
for Us and doing excellent work and
az the same time they keep mp their
school work while our women can't
or else won't find time 20 knit An
peals are going out constantly for
more knitted goods. The demand Il
something enormous, and woman all
over the land are bending every en-
ergy to do their bit excepting in Crys-
tai Falls. You will do us a great fav-
or II you will air this condition IN
your paper. and don't mince words in
doing Il. The harder YOU strike the
