Student BugIer Plays Fire Alarm
And Arouses Men at Camp Upton
Bull RYAN, Onetime Fighter Lives Up to His Nickname
When He Tries to Bugle After laps Is Sounded
His Tin" Ears Prove Godsend

Lights that had been switched of in
the neigh borhood Of ! Company bar
racks suddenly fared up. Neighbor
buglers took up the stirring melody.
In a minute or two the whole camp
was aroused with "Da-da-ra, da-ds-ra,
da-da-re, da-da-ra, dada"
Half dressed, Captain Herbert
Spooner, regimental adjutaEt Of the
307th, rushed from his quarters and
headed for the direction whence came
the imperious call. Drowsy men in the
barracks of the military police jumped
into clothes and action. Up on Head
quarters Hill an old general began to
cuss the penurious, Impractical govern
ment that had put his division into
tindery wooden buildings.
Only False Alarm
Blu. il was Just a false alarm. Stu
dent Bugler Romano merely had hit
upon fire call as a likely one for prae-
tice.
To "Bull" tin ears are a godsend.
There wasn't even an echo of the re-
marks of Captain Harrigan. Captain
Spooner, Colonel Howard, Of the mill
tary police, and the indignant officer
from headquarters left in them to-day
when he stopped a stranger in the mid
die Of the plain that the 307th uses for
n parade ground.
The stranger was in uniform and
rode "a horse. Dominick was equipped
with a rife which had a businesslike
bayonet at its other end.

Thousands Of Tons Made
Available for Immediate
Distribution
Needy to Get Fuel
Government Holds Weapon
to Force Electric Sign
Curtailment

WASHINGTON, Nov. s.-Ihousands
Of tons of coal held By jobbers and
wholesalers were made available for
emergency distribution to-day, when
the fuel administration decided to al
low The dealers TO take small margin
Of profit on coal they had contracted
for at high prices before the govern
men. prices we're fixed.
Under previous orders jobbers have
been permitted 10 sell only at a small
margin above the government price at
the mine, regardless Of the figures
named in their contracts. Because in
many instances this price was less
than the coal cost them, the Jobbers
have held their coal.
Coal TO go Where Most Needed
To.day's ruling provides that the
;obbeTs may sell at a margin OF 10
per cent above the contract cost TO
purchasers. TO be designated by state
fuel administrators. The fuel admin
istrators will T,ace the coal in COM
munites most in need of It.
Measures 10 increase coal production
were taken up at conference to-day.
Consideration was given TO proposal
that coal shipments be given preference
IN transportation over all other com
modities except food and war supplies.
Another recommendation of the oper-
ators was that Open-tOp cars be dlstrlo-
uted first in all instances 10 coal mines
and coke ovens.
Action TO restrict the use Of cleo
tricity for lighted advertising signs
throughout the country will be taken
soon by the fuel administration.
May Delay Sign Lighting
One course which has been recon-
inended to the fuel administration and
IS regarded as likely of adoption plans
20 curtGil the use of electricity for signs
during the early hours of the evening.
IN large cities where signs are lighted
at twilight, Just as street railways ana
subways are working at their limit OF
capacity, electric plants are forced to
carry a very high peak load. BY post
poning the lighting Of electric signs
until the use Of electric power goes
back from rush hour TO normal much
less coal will be required to produce
electricity.
While the fuel administration has no
direct authority in law TO curtail the
Use Of electric signs, II has very ell
fective instrument at its command TO
accomplish the purpose, for the sd-
ministrator may refuse to assure an ad-
equste supply OF coal TO any power
plant which persists in furnishing cleo
tricity 10 sign users who will not CO.
operate with the saving plan.

As a civilian fighting man in New
York (he was Bull" Ryan them
Dominick Romano never got to amount
TO much. His turn usually came be-
fore the festive ringside seats had oc-
cupants.
But when the draft surprised him in
an idle moment and he came out TO
Camp Upton as part of the New York
City National Army division Dominick
made up his mind to get out OF the
preliminary class. Thus far a high
private in Company, S07th Infantry,
he has done pretty well. Still his rec
ord shows that they didn't nickname
him "Bull" back home for nothing.
The documentary evidence Is:
There was a call from Captain Will
lam d. Harrigan, who commands |
Company, and by e single generation
missed being a member Of the lately
famous Harrigan and Hart theatrical
combination, for fifers, drummers and
buglers.

avenue TO advancement, announced that

who thought he ought TO be able to
play the fiddle. Dominick, likewise,
had never tried.
A couple of nights ago Dominick had
got him a bugle and was earnestly at
work on the upper or dOrmitory floor
of | Company. barracks. Before him
he had little volume, entitled
"Buglers' Manual"
Mostly the pieces noted IN 1t were
long and involved. Dominick, in search
of an easy starting point, skipped them:
one he struck looked good. For half
hour he kept his company on tiptoe by
bugling the bit for which the manual
provides esperanto lyrics in this wise;
"At-ten- shi-on! At-ten-shl-on.'

Dominick turned over few pages and
nit another tune that suited his bud
ding talent. He footed 1t again and
again:

Is Kissed Into the Navy

When Frank Martin came forward at
the midday meeting Of the Minute Men
of America yesterday and announced
that he desired TO enlist in the navy,
Miss Marie Antoinette Elliott, 304 West
Seventeen Street, embraced and kissed
him.
That was more than twenty-four
other young men in the audience could
witness and remain civilians, for Miss
Elliott is remarkably easy to look at.
Within few minutes they were all
naval recruits and had each received a
kiss.
Furthermore, Miss Elliott promised
TO keep all those she kissed into the
navy in tobacco and books for the dur
alton Of the war.

How you hated them, how you fought
against taking them.

of mothers keep this harmless fruit
laxative handy they know children
love to take it; that is never fails to

If you care for heavy hair, that

and is fluffy and lustrous, try Dander.
inc.
Just one application doubles the
beauty of your hair, besides 1t inn
mediately dissolves every particle of
dandruff; you cannot have nice. heavy,
hair If you have dandruff. This des-
tructive scurf robs the hair of its lustre
its strength and its very life, and II
not overcome it produces a feverish-
ness and itching of the scalp; the hair
roots famish, loosen and die; then the
hair falls out fast.
If your hair has been neglected and
is thin, faded, dry, scraggy or too

Danderine at any drug store or toilet
counter; apply little as directed and
