Central Pennsylvania Is
to Get More Anthracite
For Homes and Industries

Harrisburg's allotment for anthra-
cite coal for the coming winter has
been increased more than 10000 tons
by the Anthracite Committee of the
United States Fuel Administration.
There is little likelihood that with
this increase in the amount of fuel
for war workers there will be any
serious shortage of coal in the city.
Towns and boroughs in this vicinity
also were granted increases over the
allotment of last winter. The anthra-
cite committee in making the distri-
button of coal for the state has so
far given no hard coal allotment for
the city of Pittsburgh, owing to its
fields of the state. The hard coal al
lotment for the entire state this
winter has been increased IS per cent.
over that of last year.
The allotments as announced by the
committee show that Harrisburg is
to get 1924 tons against 1882 of
last year. Other towns in this vi
cinity follow: Bethlehem, Isl, 200
against 115,4l9; Duncannon, 800
against 1885; Steelton, 29,144 against
2S,910; Lebanon. $1,000 against 45.439;
Remove. $3.50 against 6.65S; Middle
town. 12,S0S against 10.O47; Berwick.
$4,000 against 22.133; Hershey, 1000
against 2,269; Lancaster, 100000
against 112,05O; Reading. 24O, 600
against 209,569; York, 100000 against
S4.225.
The anthracite committee has also
seen to it that every made require
ment for hard coal within the state
is recognized and supplied. From the
big manufacturing plants. working on
war contracts, shipyards, iron and
steel plants down to chocolate making
there has been increased demand for
anthracite for the needs of the work

ering the occupants.
The entire family raised cry for
help. The back stairway was a mass
OF cracking fire, the front stairway
was solid with rolling smoke. Their
escape down the stairs was cut off
I Driven to the Windows
Barbara made an Intellectual at
tempt to phone for assistance. Due
to the excitement, she was unable
to speak so the phone operator could
understand. In a minute the
smoke had driven her with the re-
mainder OF the family to windows on
the north side of the house. There
the screams of the family quickly
aroused the Harris family.
Mrs. Harris ran to the phone,
while her sister ran to the firebox ~
the corner. Hurriedly dressing
the three Harris brothers ran
to the side of their house
where a homemade ladder was ly-
ing. They raised this to the win
dow where the Witmans were calling
and gesticulating for assistance. The
ladder was too short to reach the
window. Only by careful effort
could Mr.. Whitman, the tallest girl,
and the nurse girl step from the
window to the top of the ladder.
Children Dropped
The two smallest children were
dropped from the window to the
arms of the Harris boys. None OF
them suffered injury.
Miss Barbara was the last child to
leave, owing TO the fact that she was
at different window. 1t was nee
essary to move the ladder in order to
get her out. Before it could be done,
the black volumes of smoke which
all the while had made the positions
of the family in the burning house
untenable, poured out of the window
so thickly 1t was necessary for her 10
step across the sill and learn far GU;
for breath of air.
Clothing Is Burned
The shivering refugees from the
flaming house were taken to the
home of Il. u. Wallower, father-in-
law of Mr.. Whitman, situated almost
across the street from the Whitman
home, in Front street. Saved in their
nightclothes, they had to leave the
house so quickly that it was impos-
sible to save any of their belongings
Following the rescue of the Wit
mans, firemen made Intellectual ef-
forts to save the Lockhart woman
on the third floor. The Witmans told
of the maids plight in the center OF
the burning area, and were frantic
in their desire to save the unfortu-
nate woman.
The back Of the house had by this
