He will get in touch with the lo- cal dealers today and thoroughly in- vestigate conditions as the dealers find them before he fixes the price at which anthracite may be sold in Norwich in the future
 Coal is costing the dealers 35 cents 8 ton more at the mines than it did 3 short time ago and there is also tax of nine cents on each ton which the dealers must pay. The present price is $10.25 ton and it is understood that this price takes care of ,only a part of the additional cost to the deal CTS. S'

as the mar who buys an extra Lib
 erty Bond or the gourmet who eats eggs instead of steaks on Tuesday. Charles c. Bill. chairman of the com
 mittee, says he has learned that some
 people in Connecticut are throwing
 away ashes which contain a considera-
 ble quantity of unburned or partly
 burned ceai The presence of such
 coal in ashes indicates two faults, for
 it shows that the ashes have not been
 carefully sifted and there would be no
 unburned coal in the ashes if the fur-
 mace from which they came were pron-
 eriy run. Any coal thus recovered,
 however, should be mixed with fresh
 coal and used over again or can be used
 without mixing when slow fire is de- sired, MT. Bill says. He considers it almost criminal for any one to throw
 away coal with ashes under present conditions, no matter how easily they can afford such an extravaganza.
 The situation at the local gas and electric plant is getting serious as a consignment of coal which was, sup posed to have arrived here by Sunday had not put in an appearance Sunday evening. Superintendent Kehoe stated that while there is only limited sup ply of coal on hand, possibly enough to last day and a night, the plant would be In serious straits if more coal was not procured within short time. -f

 OR LITTLE cHRlsTMAsn
Observed Sunday in Catholic Churches
 -conmemorates Visit of Magi to
 Bethlehem.

Isaiah K. Is was the lesson read in the Catholic churches of the world Yesterday, which was. the feast of the Epiphany, familiarly called Little Christmas" also "The Feast of the King" commernorating as it does the visit of the Wise Men to Bethlehem. The opening verses of the epistie were Arise, be enlightened, o Jerusalem; for thy light. is come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee" The days gospel was Matt ii. 1-12, narrat- ing the visit of the Magi.
 At St. Patrick's church the first mass at 7.S0 was read by Rev. Aloysius R. Portelance of Leavenworth, Kas., ca- thedra1, at his home in Norwich for a vacation visit. The brief sermon was delivered by the rector, Rev. l. H.
 Frederick, whose theme was the les-
 son taught by the gospel for the Sun day.
 It was an opportune time, Father Frederick said, on the first Sunday of the new year, to kneel as did the three Wise Kings, before the manager in
 which the Christ Child is lying, offer ing him gifts as did the Magi; the gold of good deeds, the frankincense of prayer, the nyrrh of resolutions to live during coming twelvemonth in accordance with. Gods, laws and in His service. .r
 Yesterday was the monthly con-
 munion Sunday of the Young Ladies' and Immaculate Conception SodaIities and large number of the members
 received the Holy Eucharist from Fla | ther Portedance, who was assisted by Rev. Peter J. Cuny. Other general communfcants made the number re-
 cefving the sacrament as fitting be- ginning of the New Year large total ] for day of severe winter weather probably six or seven hundred at least This rule obtains at St. Patrick's at the first mass every Sunday, two l priests being required to administer Holy Communion. Rev. Father Frederick referred to
 the necessity of, conserving the coal
 supply, for which reason the week day
 mass at o'clock will be read in the
 basement chapel for the present. Or l Sunday, vespers in the afternoon was omitted, Benediction of the Blessed l Sacrament following the high mass.

PLAN TO ORGANIZE
 WAR SAVINGS SOCIETIES
Thrift Stamp Campaign Will Be Started This Week in All Schools in State.

Beginning this week a campaign will be started in all the schools of Connecticut for the distribution of thrift stamps and war savings cer-' tifcates among the children. It is es- timated there are more than 100000 school children in this state, and it, is expected that within a month each one will be the owner of at least, one thrift stamp.
 Howell Cheney, state director of the national war savings committee, has held several conferences with super visors and principals in different parts Of Connecticut, and everywhere he has received assurances of cordial support. It is proposed to organize war savings societies in every grade, and every effort will be made to inn press upon the pupils the doctrine of thrift. The suggestion has been made that each child be urged to save at least one penny a week. The per- formance of additional tasks at home and for neighbors is suggested as a means for increasing the number of stamps which are to be placed on the thrift cards.

GreeneviIIe Cardinals Disband--Wor Three Out of Four Games Played Personals,

They are Will jams, Tilley, Grebe and Hussey. The management of the Cardinals felt that it would be better for the Cardinals to disband rather than have the majori- ty of their men trying to play on two teams. The season was a very suc- cessful one for the team as they won three of their four games, piling up "A 1-2 points to their opponents 45 The games played with their scores are as follows: Taftvilie g to 1s, Y.

BROADWAY CONG. CHURCH
 SHOWS RIGHT SPIRIT
Has Coal in Bins But Services Are Being Held in Sunday School Rooms

While the present scarcity of coal lasts, the congregation of the Broad way church will hold it's services in the Sunday school rooms. Yesterday there were so many present when communion service was observed, that the large lecture room had to be open ed to accommodate the people.
 Though there is plenty of coal in the bins. the church trustees are of the opinion that, in the present crisis nothing should be wasted in the mat ter of fuel. and that by closing the church itself for a time they are set ting a good example in one way of conserving coal.
 Rev. Edward S. Worcester, the pas- tor, made mention of the fact that William A. Young, the first Red Cross nurse to be called to the colors from this vicinity, was to have been ad- mitted to the church membership at the morning communion. As he re- ceived orders to leave town Saturday, a special service was held at the Thursday evening meeting, so that MT. Young might receive his first com munion before leaving for the front and go forth, better armed, maybe, for the work ahead of him.
