IlO COAL BARGES ORDERED
Emergency Fleet Will Replace
Those Taken for War

Contracts for additional wood barges 10
be used In the coastwise coal-carrying
trade will soon be awarded by the Emer-
gency Fleet Corporation. it was an
nounced this afternoon.
These barges will be of $500 tons. the
same as the 110 for which contracts have
already been awarded The original es-
innate called for 100 barges, but II was
decided to increase the number to make
UP the deficit in coastwise carrying yes
sells. The shortage of this type Is due
to the great number Of ships formerly in
the coastwise trade that have been sent
overseas for use as lighters. 1t Is ex-
pected forty more barges will be con-
structed, making a total of $50.
Although the railroads carried approx
imately 60 per cent more coal to New
England in 1917 than any former year.
the shortage in that section was particu..
larly serious. 1t was due to lack OF
water facilities.
Prior to the war virtually all the New
England coal supply was hauled by
water. Having taken great part OF
the old water facilities, the Emergency
Fleet corporation plans to replace them.

THE LETTER OF A DEBUTANTE.
Dear S. r.: Can you tell me wheth-
err there is such thing as garbage
can etiquette? OF course 1 know the
garbage can is terribly old fashioned
those days and in many homes is al
most a thing of the past. But in a
fashionable neighborhood (where
they do not keep chickens) a certain
garbage can is causing great oeal OF
annoyance. The back door of the
house on the corner is almost even
with the front door of the one next
door and the garbage can of said cor
ner house is entirely too closely assoc
ciated with the front door mat of the
neighboring residence. 1t is not a
fashionable, lean garbage can either
but is very well fed and the patriotic
neighbors do not like to see such
things in this day of saving. Carriage
cans were never exactly welcome
front door callers and now the day
when a we'll filled one can hang
around the back door or even the al
ley fence is in the past. Many of the
said people who have garbage cans
in Topeka now are so ashamed of
them that they are burying them by
their back doors.
Weren't you enthusiastic about the
southern accent of DIR. j. E. Wolfe,
who spoke at the auditorium last
night? We had all decided that it was
southern, with a northern education.
so we were not surprised when he told
us that he had generations of Virginia
blood in his veins. We just dotted
on the way he said governor" and
