That the Federal Government will in
tervene and save renters of the West
Philadelphia districts from eviction by
local landlords is the belief Of many
who attended a meeting Sunday at the
home of ]. J. Fuchion, 5734 Pemberton
street
More than 100 renters of properties in
Rodman street, Cedar avenue and Penn
berton street, who have been notified tc
vacate or buy, have signed petitions to
Federal, municipal and State authorities
asking that landlords be enjoined from
forcing them to vacate.
MANY Of the renters are Government
employees or employed In industries en-
gagged on Government work." Mr.. Flu
chion said today. Some have sons in
the service We do not believe the land
lords have a right TO turn us out when
there is not house to be rented in West
Philadelphia or anywhere in the city.
THE action OF real estate dealers is
a serious one In this crisis when hous-
ing for Government employees is SO press
ing problem. We feel 1t a patriotic
duty to resist and believe the Federal
authorities will back US up.
There win be riot that will be
heard a long way" Mr.. Fuchion added.

Ada, Okla, April 11.-An order es'

A. Norris, federal fuel administrator
for Oklahoma. The order is to be-
come effective Z O'Clock a. m, April

to effect, unless the United States
Fuel Administration orders otherwise.
All retail coal edalers throughout
the state must post and keep posted
in their places OF business, accessible
to all customers, the government
prices of each kind of coal handled
and the maximum gross margin al
lowed, and the retail price at the
yard Drayage charges must also be
posted. County committees will see
that these regulations are rigidly en-
forced.
Every applicacioa OF this order
shall be made il writing, supported
by facts and figures, and forward
ed to the state fuel administrator.
For sufficient reasons posting prices
may be not enforced in specific cases.
Retail dealers get all the benefit
of summer storage reductions if the
consumers do not take the coal to
their bins If a dealer places coal
in his bins in April and pays April
prices for it, he can sell it in May
and collect May prices plus his gross
margin, thereby making Is cents a
ton more on the coal. In other words,
the dealer or consume who buys the
quickest gets the benefit of the larg-
est reductions.

AMBER BOY
GETS FINE,
JAIL TERM

Claud Hubbard, an Amber school
boy, is doubtless convinced at this
time that it is not profitable to caves
drop. Heralded before Judge r. E.
Davenport on such a charge yester-
day, he was fined $50 and sentenced
to 20 days in jail
He entered a plea of guilty to the
charge. The circumstances brought
out by questioning on the part Of the
judge, developed that he climbed a
telegraph pole in order to get ring
side" seat at a meeting of the w o.
w. OF Amber. When asked if he
could understand anything relative
to the secret work being put on by
thc order he said that he could not.
"They we're just going around like a
bunch Of CATTLE" he said.
His father declared to officers that
the lad would have to lie out not
only the jail sentence, but the fine
ana costs as well. This will approx
innate a period of 80 days. He was
taken from the Amber school yester-
day.

Robert NJ Alexander, Grady coun

which he tells of the routing Of ar
my life as seen from the standpoint
Of recruit. Alexander is well
known here. He was at one time a
candidate for county attorney of this
county. He was in charge of the
squad from southern Grady county
when his increment went forward to
the training camp. The letter fol
lows:
"Our delegation left Chickasha on
Feb. 23rd, and arrived at Camp Trav-

were placed in what is called the de.
pot brigade, which is section of
the camp set aside for receiving new
recruits. We were issued our cloth.
ing, bedding and mess kit and were
kept three weeks, during which time
we were given three innoculations
for typhoid fever and vaccinated for
small poX. During the time we
were in the depot brigade we were
quarantfhed and our barracks placed
under guard. This was about the
only unpleasant thing a soldier has
to go through with when he comes
to training camp.
When our quarantine was up,
which was last week, we were trans
ferred to Co. A. 1858 Inft., and our
actual training began, which l feel
sure will make good soldiers and bet

thought this would be a good way to
get out of drilling, but there is no
use to try to fool a physician who
really knows his business, SO If there
is nothing the matter with you. he
generally gives a double dose of salts
which is known here as an army
cocktail and marks the patient 'du.
