HAS
WAY TO SOLVE
FUEL PROBLEM
Presents Zone System to
Senate Committee as
Practical Solution.

/ After the so-cal1ed Peabody coal
price" had been under fire in the
Senate Manufacturs Committee coal
probe yesterday, Frank 8. Peabody.
Of the Council of National Defense,
appeared with q solution Of the en-
tire fuel problem.
The zone system, with the United
States divided into 81 districts.
formed the basis of the plan. Mr..
Peabody said he would have each
district measured both as to con-
sumption and production Of coal.
No district producing coal would be
permitted to buy from any other
district until its own production
had been allotted at home. And NO
district, he continued, would be
permitted to ship out coal until it
had provided for its own needs.
This plan, Peabody declared,
would cut down q great amount of
needless hauling on the railroads.
1t would make available SO many
more cars and engines that Amefi-
can coal production would be in
creased about 700.o0o.oo0 tons an
nually. Asked whether he had sub
mitted the plan to the Fuel A dmin-
istrator, Peabody said he had.
Explains Peabody Price.
DR.. H. A. Garfeld, he testified,
replied with a letter that his zone
plan had been duly received and
carefully compared with our own
plan" Nothing further came Of
the suggestion. he said.
The Peabody coal price" was ex-
planned by Secretary of the Interior
Lane. He said that last summer
before the Fuel Administration was
formed, coal prices were mounting
higher and higher with no appar-
ent limit. To stop the increase he
called on Peabody. who is chair
man of the councils committee on
coal production. Peabody, after
consultation, arranged a price OF
sS per ton in the east and ;2.75 in
the west. These prices constituted
a considerable reduction, Secretary
Land said. Because OF objection
from Secretary OF War Baker, and
from other sources, these prices
did not become effective, he added.

WARN AGAINST
OVER CONFIDENCE

Wilmington passed the best day yes
terday since the city was stricken with
the epidemic Of Spanish influenza.
The death rate took a big drop, be-
yond the expectations Of the health au-
thOrities.
There were only % deaths OF VIII
mington people from influenza or pneu-

from yesterday noon up to 10 o'clock
today, as compared with 60 epidemic
deaths in the city officially recorded
during the previous 24 hours.
The emergency hospitals are report
ing more and more empty beds, instead
Of the constant additions that were be-
ing made a week ago. and II is now
thought possible that the New Century
Club hospital may be discontinued in
a week or so.
A week ago, neighbors who met
while on errands TO corner grocery
stores. were going through the list Of
relatives and friends who were III with
influenza. Now the Influenza patients
themselves are bringing the groceries
and cheerfully comparing notes on
their past illness. The downtown
streets and stores have resumed a nor
NAL appearance with the usual busy
crowds.
Persons who. though well. religious
ly took all kinds Of pet preventives
daily. have now decided that they are
not going to get lt, and have stopped
