GARFIELD FIXES COAL PRICES
Fuel Administrator Announces Final
Decision, Which Will Be Bind.
ing on All Dealers.

Washington. II Fuel Administrator
Garfield announced regulations. effec-
tive at once, for the Limitation Of the
retail prices Of bituminous and an
thracite coal throughout the country.
The fuel administration has fixed.
in the conclusions arrived at, not the
specific price which the retail dealer
will be allowed to charge the con-
sumner. but the gross margin which
the retail dealer will be allowed to add
to the average wholesale cost Of his
coal In making retail prices.
The retail dealer will be allowed to
sell coal to the consumer at a price
representing an advance Of not more
than 80 per cent over the retail gross
margin Of 1915. In no case, however.
Is the gross margin from now on to
exceed the gross margin Of July. 1911.
If, for example, q retail coal dealer
bought particular kind Of coal In
1915 at an average Of 81 ton and
sold 1t to the consumer at So a ton.
his gross margin was 81. DR.. Garfield
now allows him to add 80 per cent to
this amount, making his gross margin
for 1917 $3.50, provided that is not In
excess Of his gross margin in July
last.
If the retail dealer now>pays an ay-
erage of So for the same kind Of coal
he will be allowed to sell it to the con-
sumner for not more than $3.50 a ton.
Doctor Garfield selected 1915 as a
normal coal production year.

Submarine improvements.

Since April i German submarines
have been equipped with four new de-
vices which increase their destructive
ness, and render ii more difficult for
chasers to discover their whereabouts.
Formerly the U-boats, to remain in one
spot, had to come to the surface, or
anchor themselves to the bottom; but
four small pumps are now used which
enable them to remain stationary while
submerged. This not only conserves
fuel, but prevents its enemies from
hearing the thrOb of the submarines
propellers. Telescope periscopes give
further assistance to the submarine In
cOncealing its position. A mixture Of
oxygen and strained gas is now used
in the engines, and the exhaust Is
washed free of smoke and broken into
small bubbles, which do not leave a
wake. Finally, new listening devices
enable it to hear and judge the size of
ships at considerable distance.-Ex-
