MERCHANTS ASK
 SMALLER BONDS WITH NO INTEREST
Say Small Denominations Would Allow Smaller In
 vestors to Subscribe.

Washington, May 19.-The mer- chants committee of the general Lib erty Loan committee is considering the prospect of appealing to the sec retary of the treasury to issue loan certificates in denominations of $5, $10 and $20, it was announced today.
 Louis Stewart, chairman of the committee, said that small denomina- tion certificates would be more at- tractive to department store patrons and to small investors in general than depositing an amount on account and making other deposits until the total would purchase bond.
 It was pointed out by MT. Stewart that a person buying a certificate would have an incentive to purchase enough to get bond because the cer- tificates themselves would bear no in- terest while the bonds would bear 3 1-2 per cent.

SWEDE PERFECTS
 NEW TYPE AIRSHIP

Stockholm, May GA new type of airplane has been planned and con- structed by an officer in the Swedish army, Lieutenant von Porat. It diff fers from ordinary types in that it is made entirely of steel and woven, fabrics, with the exception of the pro- pellor, which is of wood, and in the arrangements of the wings. The low CT plane of the which is a scout byplane with some resemblance to the Fokker type-lies for three quarters of it's width back of the up- per plane, instead of being directly under it. as in most machines.
 The especial advantage claimed for the new airplane lies in it's climbing ability, which is declared to be 5000 feet in four to five minutes. Its speed is 100 miles an hour. The motor is of 100-horse power.

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
IN COMPLETE CONTROL
Gar Shortage Large Factor In
Coal Situation.

Columbus, Oct 1S.-The federal gov.
ernment is now in complete charge Of
the coal problem in Ohio.
Homer Johnson, Ohio fuel admin.
istrator, has received this telegram
from the federal fuel administration:
"All requests and communications as
to the supply Of coal for your state
must be sent to this Office and not
to coal operators. This is necessary
in order 10 secure an equitable ap-
portionment of the coal supply and
thorough cooperation on the part OF
all operators and jobbers."
The federal order means that any
further 20 per cent home relies
days for Ohio will be in charge of
Washington officials and not in
charge of the clearing house, John
son said.
Transportation is the largest factor
in the Ohio coal situation. Mr.. John
son said: unless the mines can get
a 100 per cent car supply it is impos-
sible to get from them a 100 per cent
