Here and There.

Amidst the maze of conflicting state
ments regarding the two commodities
now most in our minds, coal and sugar,
how shall We know what to believer
First we read in the newspapers that a
movement Of large amount of coal 10
our direction is to end the famine. Next
We read statement apparently authentic,
as II comes from the administration, that
the coal shortage amounts to fifty million
tons. Again We read that there Is plenty
of coal at the mines, but tho difficulty ia
to get it to the consumer-snd common
sense indicates that the transportation
systems of the country must be made
quate to deliver the coal as fast as II ID
needed, even II the whole surface o.
Pennsylvania were covered with it.

in the physical requirements for

thousands who have been or would

The notifications indicate that

except those whose physical condi-
ton can never be rcmedied TO make
them fit for any kind OF service.
Physical defects that can be rem

says.
