JUNE 8 TO 8 DESIGNATED
AS COAL WEEK" IN


The week of June 8 to 8 has been
designated as Goal Week" by the
United States fuel administration.
While for several weeks special eff
forts have been made throughout the
United States to urge the early order
ing Of coal, there will be a special
intensive drive on early ordering dur
ing coal week" says a special from
Washington to the Commercial APP
peal under date Of May 18th.
It is felt, with the bulk Of the years
supply of coal ordered we'll in adj
vance the various distribution agen-
cies of the government will be in a
position to adjust equitably and prop
erty the demands as between differ
emit communities. It viii be possible
for the fuel administration to gauge
accurately the increased demand and
properly apportion the available sup
ply.
Together with the urgent appeal to
tho industries we'll as to the do-
nestle consumers to order their coal
early there goes the request that
those who get their orders in wait
patiently for deliveries. 1t is being
pointed out that of course the entire
coal output of the country cannot
be delivered within a few months.
But it is equally true that those or
ders that are first in the hands of the
dealers will be the first delivered.
Production is steadily increasing,
but it must be further increased if
the country's coal needs for the year
are to be filled.
Already in many communities one
third of the coal orders have been
placed by both industrial and domestic
consumers. In the eastern part of
the country the dealers have been
practically overwhelmed with early
orders for anthracite, but west of the
Mississippi river the orders have been
so slow in coming in as to tend no
stimulus to increased production and,
as a matter of fact, there has been
some shutting down of mines for lack
of orders for the product.
In every state in the Union prep
arations have been made to bring
the United States fuel administra-
tons early coal ordering message
souarely before the people. Thousands
of motion picture theaters will carry
the message; four-minute men will
address hundreds of audiences; poster
displays will be shown in every large
city and throughout the country com
munities, and the coal dealers everv-
where have been enlisted in the big
coal week drive.

Drastic measures have been taken
by the U. S. government to tighten
its hold on men Of draft age. By
amended regulations, issued by Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder, APP
proximately 100000 men in various
lines Of occupation throughout the
country were given to understand
that they must either seek employ
ment in war industries by July or
rendered themselves liable for military
service, regardless of classification
or exemption, On the heels Of this
Attorneys General Gregory, in a state
ment issued at the department of JUS
tice, gave sharp warning to men of
draft age seeking to escape service
by leaving the country. Their leav-
ing does not in any measure release
them from obligation, end upon their
return or seeking to return after the
war their cases will be handled in the
same manner as if the war were
actually in progress.

A prominent business man Of this
city showed us Friday piece Of
plank about a foot long into which
four sharp-pointed nails had been
driven points upward, and placed in
a rut in front of the home Of a WE'LL
known citizen of the Hebron neigh
borhood, about three and a half miles
north Of this city. The plank had
been partially covered with dust in
order to obstruct it from the view
of passing chauffeurs, but there hap
pened to be one passing there whose
eagle eye detected it and who stopped
his car in time to prevent the pune
turing Of one or more tires, A little
further on, on bridge, lot Of Coca
Cola bottles had been broken up and
placed with the jagged ends up, no
doubt in the hope Of doing more
damage to tires of passing cars, or in
the hope that if the chauffeur got
by the board with the nails in it that
he would certainly have his tires
well punctured here.
The perpetrator of this misde-
meanor flor such the statutes of the
state Of Tennessee plainly defines
such acts to be- evidently was not
aware Of the fact that he was violat-
ing state law when he did this and
was laying himself liable to arrest and
punishment. AT the last term of
court the Judge told the grand jurors
to take cognizance of all such cases,
and if they knew of any violations
to have witnesses brought before him
in the matter.
The party who perpetrated the
above piece of lawlessness perhaps
did not think of the danger it was
to his neighbours horses aid mules
sticking the nails or some Of the bro
ken glass in their feet and dying from
blood poison.
1t is the sort of spirit that has
caused miscreants on the Illinois
Central railroad to hurl rocks at two
passing night trains between Mem.
phis and Woodstock within the past
few months, shatter the glass anc
brighten the passengers, and it is 9
spirit that should be broken by severe
punishment,
The gentleman who told us about
the matter and showed us the plank
remarked, incidentally, that the mar
who found it had a fairly good idea
of the identity of the guilty party.

SOFT DRINKS FOR BOYS

Among the other creature comforts
for soldiers required in France are
10 tons of chocolate bars, 10 tons Of
graduated sugar, 10 tons Of flour, 10
tons of assorted cigarettes and FIVE
tons of smoking tobacco.
1t will be noted that no chewing
tobacco is ordered. This is not the re-
suit of any prejudice on the part of
the soldiers against the American
habit which panied Dickens so much.
No, no. Modern warfare-that's all.
The overseas secretaries report that
a plug or fine cut devotee with his
favorite quid of the American weed
in his mouth is seriously embarrassed
when he hastily dons his gas mask.
"With tobacco biting inside yer
cheek, the OIL gas mask anchored

about yer, and no chance to open yer
mouth, war sure is hell" argues one
southern soldier after a front line

cial familyf Let it attend, and con-
fine itself, to its legitimate duties.
This is a new and somewhat star
Ting contention. Congress is not, and
should not permit itself to be converted
into, rubber stamp. As respects the
war its functions are large. 1t de-
clared tho war. Without its authoriza-
tion there would have been no var.
Without it's authorization not dollar
could have been raised for conducting
bOstilities.
Immediately following the war dec
laration, Congress took up in the most
generous spirit the question Of sup
plies, and voted money in quantities
hitherto unheard Of in our affairs. Not
n request vas denied, nor one even
pared down. All provisions Of the
kind were rushed.
1t was Mt this time that Congress
should have asserted and maintained
its right and duty to know what was
being done with the money thus so
literally provided. But it took no such
action; and months elapsed before
complaints Of delinquencies and delays
n war work began to he heard.
The right Of Congress to know what
is going or does not mean that Con-
gress has the right to conduct the war.
The President is commander-in-chief
of tue Army and Navy. But sugges-
tions on tie subject from Congress,
founded upon facts properly ascer-

The Red Cross Fund.

Today's parade really opens the cam
paign for the $1OO,000,000 Red Cross
fund. active solicitations for which be-
gin Monday. Washington's "bit" is
$500,00O. Not only will the hundred
million be raised, but Washington will
probably 20 over the top toward the
million point. This city has acquired
the habit of exceeding its quota. Hav-
ing won the blue star on the liberty
loan honor flag it can certainly do no
less than turn in a surplus for the
Red Cross funds.
Red Cross contributions are an out
right gift in ono sense. Those who
make them get no interest coupons, but
they actually draw larger rate of in
terest than the government pays on
its bonds. For every dollar given to
the Red Cross means practical. help
full service for the winning Of the war.
The fund that is now asked for is to
enable the Red Cross to carry on its
work in France during the coming
summer campaign. About $4,000 ad-
ditional nurses are needed there. If
they do not 60, because the fund is not
provided, many Of our wounded and
sick men will suffer from lack Of at
tention, perhaps die Of neglect. One
hundred million surgical dressings, to-
gether with other supplies, are needed.
II this fund is not forthcoming our
mems wounds may have to be bound
in hay or old newspapers, as was done
before the Red Cross was equipped
and supplied.
The foil story Of Red Cross benef.
cent activities in this war cannot be
compiled. 1t is too big. The public at
large knows only little of what the
Red Cross is doing. Some day that
tale may be told. with figures showing
the magnitude Of the works of mercy
carried on through its agency. Fami-
lies sustained In devastated France and
Belgium, children rescued from desc
lation, wounded soldiers rehabilitated,
towns established. countless meas
ures of aid given to stricken inhab-
itants of the battle-shredded lands, and
all the while the great nursing work
continuing. This is but partial out
line of the aDleudid achiaramauf nf

assured that what they subscribe is
used to the full. There is no wastage.

Garbage Service.

4 decision by the Commissioners to
purchase and use the plant Of the fer.
tilizer company as District garbage
reduction works un,lcr provision Of
Congress for municipal management Of
this service undoubtedly silnplifies the
procedure. It will enable the Com
missioners to continue the service
without interruption at the expiration
If the present contract. This involves
abandonment Of the plan to establish
hog farm for the utilization Of the
eity's food refuse. Inquiry into this
latter plan disclosed that there is
large degree Of uncertainty on the
score Of the collection and removal Of
garbage. To be Of use for the feed
ing Of animals the food refuse must be
promptly collected and handled, else
it becomes offensive and possibly dan
Rerous to stock.
Under the reduction system the
refuse is not wasted, but is utilized for
the production Of fertilizer. Immense
values have been thrown away in the
past in the form Of untreated garbage.
OF recent years, however, more scien
tific course has been adopted and much
value has been saved. With the Dis
trict doing its own collection and re-
Luction the net cost Of the service will
be lessened, the rate Of economy be-
ing now somewhat q matter Of specu-
lation. It is evident. however. that
the saving will be sufficient to justify
the change from private to municipal
enterprise, especially in view Of the
as to the future. With the
District in charge Of the work there
will be no excuse for failure to collect
the refuse promptly.
