MUNICIPALITIES TO
PREPARE FOR WINTER
BY Laying Up Ample Stock of
Coal DURING Summer.

Various municipalities are serious
iy discussing the problem of storing
coal during the coming summer so
that there con be no possibility Of a
shortage next winter In New York
4 proposition has been made for the
city to use its old water reservoir as
4 storage place for coal. 1t would
hold thousands of tons and this, sup
plementing the supply that each in
d.vidual householder could put in,
would carry the city through any per-
iod Of coal transportation difficulty.
Boston is also divising means Of
storing coaa during the season Of
plenty, the. one question in that city
being whether If the municipality
goes into the business OF storing coal
it should not arrange to sell such
fuel in the winter time at q slightly
higher price than that charged by
the regular dealers. The reason for
this is that the private coal dealers
may not be unjustly driven out Of
BUSINESS
While deprecating the entry OF
municipalities into the supply busi-
ness, J. Walter Barnes, Fuel Admin
istrator of West Virginia, who is al
SO commissioner OF the city Of
Fairlnont, says:
During the period OF the war some
direct action must be taken. There
Is such a limited supply and such
tremendous demand that the big city
dealers cannot secure all the coal
they need, the regulation Is certain
to result There should be some
means OF selling coal in small lots,
because the average city dweller has
no storage room available for his
|usc.' ~

corted her to police headquarters.
What have you got there? asked
Lieut.. George Isenhart as they came
carrying her in.
"A Dangerous Girl" replied the
prohib sleuths pointing to the liable
on her back that was printed in big
red letters.

Washington, March 17.-In order
to raise the physical standard Of the
American soldiery in overseas service
and at the same time not to decrease
the number Of men called upon to
perform regular duty more than
practicable, the War Department is
preparing to segregate in all the ma
tional army camps all those men
having heart LESSONS, low grade Wis
ion and bad hearing, joint and bone
ailments, severe fiat feet, recent ope-
rations for abdominal troubles, her
mia, ETC., and build them up where
possible to good physical condition.
1t is purposed to use this army of
physical seconds for military service
in the United States.
This ruling will give more latt.
tude In the forthcoming exemption
board examinations, as many of the
men heretofore declared unfit by the
boards, OR discharged from the
camps subsequently by failure to
pass the physical tests, under the
segregation plan for home service.
