alleviating factor is due to their
early ordering.
Future coal shipments are depend
ed upon to avert a shortage here.
The shipments were good last week.
Mr.. Johnston said. In November
they fell 2.600 tons sort of the city
1S,601 tons monthly allotment. The
winter has been so mild, however,
that the 15,000-ton shortage to date
for the coal year beginning last April
l, has not yet been noticed to any
considerable degree. In the future,
it is hoped the mine operators will
ship enough coal to make up the
shortage.
Conserving Fuel
People are conserving more fuel
than ever before, Mr.. Johnston said,
for patriotic and mercenary reasons.
Buckwheat coal, an unprepared size
which can be secured in any amounts
without restrictions, is helping the
anthracite situation, in that 1t is be-
ing used considerably.
The river coal situation this year,
in contrast to last year. is highly en-
couraging. Inasnuch as the river
dredges still are working and were
out in more force than ever before
during the summer and fall, the large
industries consuming river coal will
not experience the acute shortages
that existed last year.
Summing up the situation, it is de-
clarep that if the winter is not too
severe and the mine operators do not
fall down on their promises, the
city will get through the winter with
out suffering any acute lack of fuel.

any sharp practices you notice in

Don't gossip with your tradesmen,
but watch him and watch the scale
he uses.
Don't fail to ask price per pound
before you buy anything. Merchants
with computing scales will short
change you eight times out of ton II
YOU do not first ask price per pound.
Don't fail to remember that mahy
unscrupulous butchers make theE
weekly wages by stating the amount
you are to pay, without stating the
weight of the commodity and the
price per pound
BE as firm with the merchant in
getting odd ounces in commodities as
YOU would be in getting your correct
change in money Both will prevent
leaks from your pocketbooks.
Don't fail to use the facilities of
the bureau of weights and measures.
The service is free at all times. Ask
as many questions as you like. Use
the bureau and thus help reduce the
high cost of living.

President Wilson attended the

In the course of his inaugural adj

thing noble and comforting TO the
allied armies. 1t made no mis-
take. for that love enabled France,
overwhelmed by the detection of the
Russian armies and by the great and
weakening trials of the spring OF
1917, to keep intact its confidence
and its courage.

TO throw into the fight her last man

sumption of aguouliurfi effort in
regions devastated b. the war.
The reason given for President
Wilson'S desire to make an early
visit to England, it is understood. is
that he has found Ii might be neces-
sary TO return to Washington much
sooner than he had expected. Wheth-
er this means change in the Pres
ident's entire program, including his
journey to Italy, is not known here.
Await Verdict at Polls
An interesting feature of the dis
cussiou of the Presidents intended
visit beginning next Thursday is that
the present British cabinet is tech
nically not in position to speak
for the government until the result
OF the recent elections are known
on December 2S.
There is little. doubt. however
that Premier Lloyd George and his
associates have been reelected.

Brewery Capital May Be
Transferred to the Orient

aEnouncemen ent by California brewery |
interests. that large amounts OF cap
ital invested in the brewery INDUSTRY |
in the United States will be taken |
TO the Orient and there devoted to a |
vast expansion of the brewery ousl-
ness. the foreign trade department
of the San Francisco Chamber OF
Commerce states that while 1t mas
no specific knowledge as to the pro
posed movement it considers 1t quite /
possible that there will be general
movement of brewery capital to
China. Japan and other Far Eastern I
countries.
This authority also states that the

trail American and West Indian trade !
has been discussed. Others well in
formed on the general situation say
that while it is doubtless a fact that
the brewers of the United States are
looking for foreign fields of opera II
ton the matter is given publicity at
this time for the purpose or inhu-
encing the Legislature against rati-
1cation of the Federal Prohibition
amendment. 1t is said that the liquor
interests hope to defeat ratification
in California, even though they
know that the amendment will be
ratified by the required number of
states for the purpose of laying the
foundation for campaign OF non
enforcement after the federal
amendment becomes law.
1t is said that the liquor people
will in case of nonratification in
California. call for lax enforcement
on the ground that the state never
ratified the amendment.
AS for any apprehension of conse-
uusnces from the withdrawal of
brewery capital from the United
States, attention is called to the fact
that a great cry was raised about
a similar eventually when the State
of Washington went dry in 1914.
Relative to what has actually aiken
place in this latter connection,
Franklin Hishborn, Of the California
Anti-Saloon League, has declared
that although great brewery inter-
ests left Washington and came to
California, nevertheless Washington
benefited greatly by the departure of
the brewery capital 4
Neither California nor the nation
need feel apprehension he continued,
as to any harmful consequences from
the departure OF brewery Cdpltdl
to foreign lands. China is, however,
very properly alarmed at the pros
pective invasion of the brewery bat
Italians Representatives of the Chi
nese Republic were present at the re-
cent international dry conference at
Columbus, Ohio, and made most ear
nest protestations against the threat
ened exploitation of China by the
brewery interests atd wanted all pos
sible steps taken to prevent the con-
summation of the brewers plans.
