SUPPLY Of COAL
STEADILY IMPROVES

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug 6-The sup
ply OF coal for domestic consumers has
been steadily improving according 70
reports reaching the state fuel admin
istration here today. However. the sit
uation IS not such yet that any predic-
tions of sufficient supply of coal this
winter Will be warranted.
The order instructing miners 10 sup
ply local dealers before plants not on
the list furnished by the war indus
tries board have procured their supply
has served to increase the available
supply for householders.
The amount of coal which domestic
consumers have already purchased in
the state is very large, compared with
last year according to reports from
various cities, but it is not sufficient
yet to insure lack Of suffering this
winter.
The coal administration is now max
ing its final appeal to all consumers,
plants and householders. to get in as
much of their coal as possible before
frost
Orders prohibiting the sending of
Kentucky coal to Indiana will probably
not affect the supply in the state 10
any great extent. although it may
work a hardship on Evansville Jeffer-

MOTHERS WILL
MARCH IN PARADE
SUNDAY NIGHT

a new feature was added yesterday
to the plans for next Sundays Red
Cross parade, when it was decided to
have a special section of Mothers of
the men in service" Augusta now
has more than 400 boys and men in
actual service and it is believed that
100 or more mothers can he secured to
march in this highly honored divis-
ion. AS no record exists of the
mothers of men in service, Chairman
Blaine Owen of the parade commit
tee asks that every mother of a man
in service communicate with him at
once. so that full list may be com
pleted right away. He can be reached
at the Central Maine Power Co. or by
calling $50. All mothers who are in
the Red Cross parade are asked to
carry service flags.
The ten mems teams which are go
ing to solicit subscriptions next week
will march in the team section. The
women's teams will not march, how
ever. owing to the fact that so many
of the members are also members of
other organizations and will march
with them. The three strictly Red
Cross organizations which will take a
prominent part are the Hospital Car
ment Workers. the Surgical Dress
ing Workers and the Canteen Unit, a
total of 200 or more, all in distinctive
uniforms. Another uniformed section
will be the Macabees and still another
the Junior Militia,
The Hallowcll branch Of the Red
Cross has been invited to take part in
the parade and has accepted and will
be on hand.
Chairman Blaine Owen. assisted by
Chas. p. Kinsman, is working vigor-
ously on plans for the parade and is
making rapid progress. He asks that
local organizations who are willing
to take part in the parade please COM
munfcate with him promptly.
