SMASHED ALL SPEED LIMITS
As Cal Sized Up the Situation, That "Cyah" Certainly Must Have
 Been Travelling Some.

H. c. Prick said in Birmingham, where he had come to attend Liberty loan meeting:
 .'The crack troops of the kaiser some call them cracked troops now are hiding in caverns forty feet under ground. The man who now thinks German militarism a wonderful thing is as badly doped as Gal Clay of Nola Chucky.
 "Cal was escorting some ladies from Nola Chucky to Paint Rock, and as they passed planters the planter was playing with powerful searchlight he had just put on his water tower, and he happened to turn it down the road, where it streamed into the eyes of Cal and his two girls.
 Here comes one O dem powerful racin' cyahs, to jedge by dat 'ere head light said Cal. We'll just hustle to de side O de road fo' safety till she's parst, ladies'
 ''So they hustled up against the hedge, and the planter, after playing the light along the road for about a minute suddenly turned it off.
 "Cal gave grunt of astonishment.

In the heart of summer, when Au- gust inclines us to forget that there is such season as winter, the curtain rises on millinery styles for fall. Mill liners and merchants journey to the great fashion centers to view the dress rehearsals of the modes and to be- come acquainted with the headwear they are destined to sell when leaves and snow are falling. Their patrons will not welcome these winter things as rapturously as they do those that acknowledge that winter millinery is entitled to be called superb.
 There are no radical changes in styles so far as size and shapes are concerned. We are not to be intro duced to things so novel that we will have to be educated up to them. The same reserve is apparent in millinery that characterizes, dresses and suits. Colors are quiet and rich, materials are excellent and styles refined.
 Velvet is destined to dominate the winter season unless the unexpected

u. S. PLANS TO RUN
MINES AND LINES
Trade Board Says 1t Is Only Way to
Avert Shortage-Fuei Famine
Predicted.

Washington, June 21.-Government
pools of coal production and distribu-
ton and of rail and water transpor-
tation were recommended to congress
by the federal trade commission as the
only means of avoiding a disastrous
coal shortage next winter.
1.-The commission believes" says the
report, submitted after many months
of investigation ordered by congress,
that the coal industry is paralyzing
the Industries of the country and that
the coal industry itself is paralyZed by
the failure of transportation. There
are enough coal cars in the country,
but not enough are delivered to the
mines, and these cars are not moved
to the point of consumption with the
greatest expedition, nor are they
promptly discharged"
In view of these conditions the COM
mission recommends:
Il. That the production and distri-
button of coal and coke be conducted
through pool in the hands of gov
eminent agency: that the producers OF
various grades of fuel be paid their
full cost of production, plus uniform
profit per ton with due allowance for
quality of product and efficiency of
Service) E; and,
80 That the transportation agencies
of the United States, both rail and
water, be similarly pooled and oper-
ated on government account, under the
direction of the president, and that
all such means of transportation be
operated as a unit, the owning cor
poratiOns being paid a just and fair
compensation which would cover nor
NAL net profit, upkeep and better
ments.''
These recommendations are APP
proved by Commissioners Davies, Col
yer and Fort. Chairman Harris dis
sents on the plan for transportation
pool, except as last resort.
