HARRIS DICKSONs OFFERING

of any country Perhaps IL In the
demand of illustration In publicity
that makes the modern actress refrain
from conceailng her natural beauties
from the public under the uKliness OF
tho makeup But the generation yet
has some striking examples OF this
complete training In the actors art,

CLEVELAND. Ohio, December IS
One hundred thousand men were out of
work and hundreds of Cleveland's Iarg-

reached such an acute stage that the
Illuminating company shut Off electric

TO GET 10000 TONS OF COAL.
Authority Given for Fuel Distribu

LOUISVILLE. KY. December l5.-
Authority to distribute to points in
kentucky where a fuel shortage ex-

1900 cars tied UP on sidings OF the
Louisville and Nashville railroad be-
tween Ravenna. KY. and Cincinnati,
has been granted to him by the federal
fuel administration, Wiley b. Bryan,
state fuel administrator. announces.
Mr.. Bryan said the coal involved was
consigned to points north of the Ohio
river, but that roads connecting with
the louisville and Nashville at Gin
cinnau have been unable to accept
delivery because of congestion on their
lines and at terminals.
Y Mines in the eastern Kentucky coal
mining district. MIR. Bryan said, have
been operating at only about so per
cent of capacity because OF their in
ability to get cars.

homes of the poor. the fuel administra-
ton today exerted all It's efforts to
release thousands of tons of coal tied
up at tidewater or in snowbound cars
at sidings.
The general fuel situation Is regarded
as the most serious in the history OF the
city Hundreds Of tenements and homes
are without heat: some factories have
been compelled to shut down. and
churches, schools. theaters and public
halls are affected.
While Reeve Schley. local fuel admin
istrator, was hopeful that the situation
would be relieved before night, Charles
8. Allen, spokesman for the association
of Wholesale dealers in the city, believes
that even when conditions become nor
NAL New York cannot expect a surplus
supply this winter.
The shortage of labor here has in
creased the problem of removing snow.
While about $4,000 persons are needed
to clear the streets only 1000 shovelers
have been obtained, and the street
cleaning department has issued a call
for woman helpers in an effort to make
UP for the shortage.
