BATTLING WITH
SNOW AND ice
Strenuous Efforts Made 10 Keep
Trains Moving,
.RGILEOSO SITUATION SERIOUS

Little Hope Of Relief For the Mid
die West Held Out by the Fuel Ad'
lstration-condltIon Not Like
Iy to Improve Until the Weather
Breaks-corn Rotting In Fields, All
Elevators Being Filled.
Washington, Jan. l6.-In an EFFORT
TO open the main-traveled routes and
to keep coal and food shipments NOV
ing over the lines best able to handle
them, the government railroad ad-
ministration is struggling against the
worst general snow and ice storm in
many years.
On top OF an accumulation of snow
IN the middle west from blizzards OF
several days ago came fresh snow
fall. Snow plows went to work on
new drifts, while gangs OF laborer5,
drawn from every occupation from
which they could be spared, tackled
yards and terminals already cleared
once OF snow within the week
Little hope was held out at the fuel
administration offices Of relief for
the middle west. Snowstorms have
checked the movement of coal trains
and the situation is not likely to i'm.
prove, It was said, until weather con.
ditions are better.
Reports to the fuel administration
told of much suffering in Ohio, Mich.
igan and Indiana cities. Many indus
trial plants nave shut down. Some
of the mines in the middle west which
ordinarily supply these towns have
not moved coal cars for nearly a
week. Mines in West Virginia, which
were ordered to give preferential
shipment to Ohio and Michigan for 10
days, are shipping 10000 tons of coal
less a day than they usually move.
Denial of coal supplies to less es-
genital industries for period of
week or longer and a railroad EN-.
barge against the shipment of non
essentials are included in a plan un.
der consideration by government off,
cials.
Already Dr. Garfield has prepared
a preferential list for the guidance Of
fuel administration officials in dis.
tributing coal which directs that fuel
supplies be apportioned in order to
householders. to public utilities, s1ips
transporting war supplies and war
industries Consumers who do not
come within these classes will be the
ones whose supplies will be held up
If drastic measures are attempted.
Priority orders have Disseminated
against corn TO such an extent that a
large part of the nations bumper
crop of 1917 is threatened with seri-
Gus deterioration, if not destruction,
Director General Of Railroads Nc.
Adoo was told by Representative Nc
Cormick, Republican, of Illinois, who,
backed by letter from Food Admin.
istrator Hoover, urged immediate ap
rointment of a railroad executive ex-
perienced in handling corn shipments
to devote all his time to the move
ment of the crop. Mr.. McAdoo took
the matter Under advisemert.
Reports % the food administration,
it was announced, showed that coun-
try elevators have been filled for
months and millions of bushels are
rotting in the fields because the farm.
er has no place to store the crop.

tural Board.
Columbus, Jan. 17.-Governor Cox
conferred with the state agricultural
board on plans to put tractors in all
Ohio counties to aid in boosting food
production. The governor outlined
this plan: Local groups N various
counties will buy tractors to be avail
able for spring plowing. With each
machine the purchasers will require
two expert operators to keep the
tractors going day and night. The
tractors will work at a set price per
acre, At the end of the war the trac-
tors will be sold at auction and
money with any dividends earned
turned back to the men who furnish
ed the funds.
Cox told the board the tractor plan
will go far toward solving the farm
labor shortage and increasing food
production. The governor will meet
with tractor company managers next

NEED MORE BLOOD
FOR EMORY WILSON

Who will volunteer to give some of
his blood to put Emory Wilson back
on his feet?
Physicians in attendance upon the
principal of the Central High School,
announced today that there must be
more transfusions of rich red blood to
stave off the inroads of the anaemia
which has weakened Mr.. Wilson TO
the point Of grave danger. Already
eight men have been found whose
blood is of the same character as
Emory Wilson's, but the transfUs-
ions from these volunteers have not
given a sufficient volume. II is,
therefore, imperative that there be
more volunteers.
Friends of Emory Wilson informed
The Times today that volunteers
should report to DR.. Lester Neuman,
at the Emergency Hospital, Eight
eenth street and New York avenue
northwest, between $50 and 6 p. m.
on week days, but preferably at 4
D. m. Sunday. DR.. Neuman will make
blood tests to find blood compatible
with that of Mr.. Wilson. and 1t is sin
cereIy hoped by him and other friends
of the veteran schoolmaster, will dis
cover enough volunteers with the
right kind of blood to restore his
health and strength.

The Razor in Civilization.

Busts Of the Caesars show them to
have been el~ean-shGyen. Men In the
eighteenth century relied still further
on the BARRIERS art, for they shaved
their heads as well. Hogarth has
painted a beau of this period who by
some chance had his wig removed,
which gives him the look of an elderly
baby. The uncouth appearance Of the
barbarlans, which shocked the Romans,
was due a good deal to the neglect of
these Wild men to dress their hair.
