INDICTMENT TO BUY COAL
EARLY

To encourage the early buying and
storage of coal for domestic use, the
United States Fuel Administration in
March, 1918, issued regulations cover
ing retail distribution for the year
beginning April /. The plan had the
Endorsement of the National Retail
Coal Merchants Association, which
organization agreed to cooperate in
enforcement. The idea was to keer
the mines and railroads busy all sum
mer to prevent a winter shortage.
Most mines, customarily, produce
less coal during the summer months
because there is no demand in the
domestic market. Many mines in 9TH
err years have been shut down entire
ly between spring and early autumn.
The "Order Early" campaign was for
the purpose of creating a domestic
market throughout the summer, and
purpose was completely accomplish
ed.
A general reduction of thirty cents
per ton at the mines in the price of
anthracite, rs per cent of which is
used for domestic purposes, was an
nounced to be effective from April /
to September l. The regulations pro-
vided:
Every coal consumer should place
| with his dealer on or before April LIST
written statement of his require
ments for the year beginning April
LIST, which he shall declare to be cor
rect. The statement shall show "a
the amount of coal the consumer has
on hand, (2). the amount of coal he
has on order and the name of the per-
son from whom ordered, ca the
amount of coal used by him in the IL
months ending March 81, 1918, and
| az the amount of coal needed to meet
his actual and necessary requirements
prior to March 81, 1919: Provided
however, That this regulation may be
modified by any State Fuel Admins
traitor within his own State
Delivery of carload or barge-loat
lots to single domestic consumer oil

except with the permission of the To-
cain Fuel Administrator
Attention was called to the penal
ties imposed under the Lever act

for violations of the regulations by

THE FLAMING LINE

Stretching hundreds of miles from
the Swiss border to the English chan
mel in flaming line of death.
Here the big guns thunder like the
echoes of the hammer of Thor. Here
the airplanes wheel and swoop like
the great Auks of old. Here the
machine guns splitter like firecrack-
ers on Chinese New Year. Here
thousands of helmeted figures charge
and plunge and kill, and charge again.
Here life is cheap.
And upon that flaming line of death
depends the fate of the world.
Beyond it, doggedly disputing every
inch of the way, the Hun menace to
humanity is being driven back to its
lair
Behind it, edging and crowding and
pushing and hammering away always
is the hope of humanity, of world de-
mocracy, of freedom and liberty and
life itself Crusaders of civilization
Among them are two million of our
sons and brothers and fathers. With
them shortly will be as many more
Thousands have fallen forever, as
thousands more will fall
These sacrifices are the price of our
safety, our freedom, our liberty. our
national and individual life.
For should the Hun triumph, Amer
len will certainly witness such scenes
as have made a nightmare of Belgium
France, Serbia, Roumania and north
ern Italy.

At THE GEM ONLY SATURDAY
ALICE BRADY'S DUAL ROLE

Alice Brady is each part she plays,
and that is why her performance is so
convincing in her latest Select Pic
ture, THE Ordeal of Rosetta" which
is to be the feature attraction on Sat
urda vat the Gem Theatre. In this
photodrama Miss Brady greatest the
dural role of Rosetta and Lola Gel
ardi, twin sisters but radically differ
ent-physically, mentally and moral
ly. Rosetta is sweet, reliant girl
blessed with every virtue, who sup
ports herself and her aged father by
learning stenography, and securing a
position first in a typist's agency and
later as the secretary to Aubrey Hap
good, a successful Novelist. Her in
nocence and gentility win his heart,
of Rosettas innocently posing for
risque bill-poster, he sees her true
worth and, at the close of the story
marries her.
Lola, her sister, is seen as a mem
Der of the underworld, a fellow-con-
spirator of sharpers and confidence
men masquerading as foreign nobility
who seek to ensnare Aubrey's sister.
Lola is venomous, revengeful, impure
| and possessed of the basest elements
in human nature.

which owes its successful delneation

portrayal of each role by Alice Brady
