tops of buildings and from ropes stretched across the avenue.
 This picturesque parade was led by Henry P. Davison, Chairman c the Red Cross War Council and his staff. The columns of colors were led by the famous United States Naval Band, Lieutenant John Philip Sousa march ing at their head. After them came Then came the thousand women who are soon to start on their journey across the seas to aid the American soldiers in France. These are the women whom everybody wanted to see.
 The formation of the parade was in platoons, the women marching sixteen abreast. The only mounted persons were the police who cleared the way and the Grand Marshall and those and children on the two floats, and the delegation from the Atlantic City chapter who rode on boardwalk chairs pushed by negroes. This was a novel sight and was the first procession of rolling chairs that ever traversed Fifth
 Nearly all the wrmen in each unit were dressed alike, fully equipped for service, with white dresses, white aprons and a head dress. One unit wore the grey of the field service. Others wore the bl'.e travelling uni form. Occasional units hid their white dresses under the Rcd Cross coat of navy blue with brilliant red lining which made a striking con- trast among the pillows Of white. Among them were units wearing rough and ready slickers and heavy boots, the garments they will wear in emergency work in caring for the wounded of our army in Europe. z There were units from all the hos pitals made up of graduate nurses ready for the call, and I wish to say that no unit received more generous applause than that from. the German hospital.
 There were more than fifty chapters of the Red Cross represented in this pageant from New York and a score of other cities and towns. The women of the National Surgical Dressing Committee had a big float drawn by four white horses. On this float were six women making dressings, cutting them with special machines made for that purpose.
 In the last division were the ambu- lances, the supply motor. trucks, a coffee wagon and the men and women of the canteen camp and sanitary sevice. The two Red Cross dogs in line received considerable attention. One of them "Tristran" seemed very fit for the part he was playing. He will soon be Somewhere in France" as he is to accompany the thousand nurses on their journey overseas.
 This was the first Red Cross parade ever held in this country and was a magnificent demonstration of the Ma tion's Preparedness.

Small Sizes of Coal.

1t Is beyond question that the In
creased tonnage of anthracite ship

months has been largely made up Of
the junior sizes. This portion Of the
fuel output is assuming much larger
share In the supplying Of what may
now rightly be termed the domestic
trade. Under modern methods the use
Of the smaller Goals Is Of much import
ance In the heating arrangements Of
the habitations Of large portion Of
the city populace-quite as much as
the use of the sizes scheduled as do
nestle coal. II Is fortunate that means
have been ayailed Of to utilize this
tonnage to good advantage elsewhere
than In manufacturing establishments,
but the fact remains that with so large
an output Of the so-called steam sizes
