Issues Interesting Book

Details Of the new system Of sup
plying railroad fuel are engaging a lot
OF the attention Of coal operators in
this region just now, and II is felt that
il will be some time before everything
is arranged and running smoothly. To.
night a committee Of operators will 90
east fol a conference with the Fuel ad-
minis,rGtion and officers OF the Balti-
more and Ohio regarding the prepare
ton OF fuel for that road and the cost.
At present the general plan seems
to be to let the railroads contract for
all the coal they can. II is not be-
lieyed that they will be able 70 tie UP
anything near the amount they need
now that they cannot assign cars TO
the mines supplying fuel, so the next
step probably will be for the roads to
figure out how much more they need
cnd ask the Fuel administration to see
that they get it,
In the Fairmont region the operators
are pledged to see that the fuel requisi-
tiong that are seat here are promptly
honOrCd and d. r. Lawson, the district
representative Of the Fuel administra-
ton, las the situation so well in hand
that there will not be the slightest
trouble in this region when the amount
that is needed is worked cut Lawson
kn0ws exactly what the mines are pro-
ducing from day to day and what their
contracts call for. This makes it pos
sible Tor him to keep tack OF the free
coal" and not only the acquisitions for
railroad fuel but for coal for all other
purposes will be promptly attended to
here.

Production IS improving in the Fair
mont field quite no,iceably. Assured
that the car supply will be better ana
much steadier men who have been
working at other things for some time
are coming back TO the mines and
those already there are turning out
more coal.
It Is expected that even better re-
suits will be attained along this line
as soon as the plans which the Fuel
administration. the United Mine Work

working on are perfected. c. II. Jen-

MADE IMMORTAL BY GOETHE
Leipzig Tavern in Which Poet Located
Scene In "Faust," Was We'll
known Gathering Place.

Auerbach's cellar was a tavern ut
Leipzig which disappeared in 1912. It
owed Its chief fame to Goethe, who in
this place located the scene in Faust"
wherein Mephistopheles, standing up
on a wine cask, takes his flight into
space with Doctor Faust, to the stupe-
faction of the guests drinking at the
tables. The old building to which the
cellar belonged was built by Doctor
Stromer d'Auerbach at about 1925. the
worthy doctor there storing the wine
Intended for his own use. Later as
the wine was good, he conceived the
Idea OF selling it. In this way was es-
tablished the tavern to which his
name has been attached ever since
From the earliest years of the seven
teenth century legend has placed in
this cellar the famous adventure of
Faust and Mephistopheles. Goethe
studying at Leipzig university from
1865 to 176S, frequented that cellar al
most nightly and there talked with
MS friends of art, literature and mol
1tics, and thus he heard of that le-
gend which he turned to such excellent
account, at the same time so very
greatly enriching the literature of his
country.
