complicate the coal situation.
Being OF an accommodating nature,
our friend the weather dictator has
promised to turn off the spigot and give
rs clear sky this afternoon. He points
to his discretion in having let the rain
fall just long enough TO wash away the
last remnants of the snow. Sloppy
weather underfoot is reported from
suburban areas, but this is preferable to
several feet of dirty snow,
The temperature at o'clock this
morning was fifty-one degrees. BY s
O'Clock It had reached forty-eight
degrees, and the mercury Is on It's way
down. BY night 1t will be very snappy
says the weather man. At the same time
he adds that 1t will not be too cold to
be pleasant and will not be severe. He
ugGcsts some point between twenty-five
and thirty degrees as minimum.

UTILIZATION OF PORT

Bank President

Not only Philadelphia, but the entire
use Of the port of Philadelphia AS a
transatlantic shipping port according TO
the monthly review of the First National
Bank, over the signature Of its presl-
dent, william A. Law.
THE unusual facilities provided by
this port for handling supplies intended
for United States troops in France and
for our Allies abroad" says the review
United States Shipping Board in its
efforts to avoid the delays incident to
the congestion at New York. There Is
every reason why this should be done,
AS the proximity of this center to the
coai fields and the excellent loading
equipment of our piers, should give the
port of Philadelphia precedence over
ports less advantageously located for
the quick handling OF export freight.
The movement under way therefore, TO
make better use of the facilities Of this
port Is of great Importance. not alone
