COATS WITHOUT ANY SLEEVES


France likes the sleeveless idea In
garments so much that she has built
new coats that droop over the shout
ders but have no sleeves. This Is Il
medieval idea that did not seem to
interfere with the comfort of the men
and women of the twelfth century
when the weather was as cold as now
and the houses 100 per cent colder.
Among the materials that France of.
fers to America In the building Of
these sleeveless coats Is a corded silk
and wool pOplin. 1t used to be worn
by us. 1t was made into frOcks and
wraps and turned out In those dOlmans
that were trimmed with bugles and
paillettes and edged with fur.
This season the dOlman has been re.
placed by the loose, shapeless, sleeve
less coat. This came over from
France, where 1t was worn on one Of
the smart stages by an actress who
knows how to dress.
All the American shops are looking
to the French theater today for in
spiratiOn, and the theaters themselves
have burst into a new bloom of life
and beauty through the presence of 50
many thousands of American soldiers

Fabrie-Topping Dark skirt.

Coats Of plain dark material, such
as velvet, velveteen. serge, wool, jer-
sey or satin, combined with gay
striped or checked skirts, have been
featured for sports wear through the
winter. The sleeveless dark coat worn
over a light.colored blouse, the two

also been much in evidence of late.
One of the newest ideas In sports APP

BELIEVED RAID
ATT COBLENZ WAS
BY AMERICANS
Germans Both Skeptical and
Fearful of Attack by
U. S. Flyers

London, March 19.-FiftX persons
were killed and great material dam
age was done by bombs dropped by
allied airmen when they raided
Coblenz. Germany, on March IL, ac-
cording to neutral traveller who ar
rived Monday at The Hague, the
Times says.
The people believed the raiders
were Americans" the traveller said.
Il was in the neighborhood of big
munition works at Mulheim (north
of Coblenz and also on the Rhine)
at ten minutes past noon when sud-
denly all the factory whistles started
blowing and the sirens were sounded.
Many women rushed from the works
for the bombproof shelters, while
passing street cars were stopped as
the crews bolted into houses. Four
or five airplanes were visible in the
clear sky.
Expected Sooner OF Later
Presently some one exclaimed:
They are Americans Another per-
son screamed aloud, The Americans
are coming' A Dutchman L knew
rushed up to me and said: Didn't l
tell you the Americans would come
sooner or later?'
Il cannot say whether the ma
chimes actually were American, but
the striking thing was the evidence
that there has been general skeptic-
ism whether American airplanes
ever would come and equal fear OF
them when they do"
The neutral traveller added that
although the machines merely
passed over Mulheim on their way to
Coblenz, it was not until 4 o'clock
that the "all clear" signal was
sounded.
Coblenz is the capital of the Rhine
proviIee of Prussia. The British war
office announced on March IL that
on that day British aviators had
dropped a ton of bombs on factories,
stations and barracks at Coblenz.
Berlin always has denied any Sc
rious losses caused by allied air.
raids over German territory, but if
fifty were killed at Coblenz, the Brit
ish raid resulted in more serious
losses than ever have been reported
from Germany before.

CENTRAL BUREAU
TO DIRECT COAL
SALES in CITY
New Rules Laid Down For
Supplying Next Winters
Fuel Supply

The central coal bureau. composed
of four members of.the Harrisburg
Coal Dealers Exchange and Il men,
ber of the county fuel commission,
will be established after April l to
handle all coal orders which the
dealers cannot fill. This was an
nounced among other plans for taxi
ing care of the coal consumers dur
ing the coming year, by Ross a.
Hickok last night.
All orders will be taken through
the various dealers as usual. Deal
ers who are unable to fill their or
ders will return them to the CEN
trail bureau, which will reassign
them to a dealer who can supply
them nearest the community to
which the coal is to be delivered.
Dealers were authorized to accept
orders for delivery after April l.
Consumers are urged to stock up
as early as possible for next winter.
When a consumer has filled out his
card, two-thirds of his regular sup
ply will be supplied by his dealer.
When all the consumers have re-
ceived two-thirds their normal sup
ply, the dealers will begin to stock
them up to their full normal supply.
Dealers to Deliver
All consumers, to secure coal,
must fill out a coal card stating the
amount of coal purchased from April
1, 1917, to April 1, 1918, and if a
greater supply is wanted for the
coming one-year period beginning
Apri l, reasons therefor must be
stated, and the size and kind pre-
ferred. Dealers will supply the
cards, as previously. These cards
will be compared with the records
of the previous year. The records
will be compiled from the sales rec
ords of the dealers.
Emergency orders will be taken
care of by the central clearing house
but may be accepted by all the deal
ers. Under this class are homes
without fuel, under quarantine,
where there is sickness or aged, in
firm or very young people to be
taken care of. The central office
will also hear complaints of con-
sumers who are unable to get their
orders filled in reasonable time.
The cards will be made out in
triplicate-one for the dealer, one
for the central office and one for
the consumer. Financial terms will
be arranged by each dealer as pre-
viously ... .......
These rules apply to the city only,
but the county fuel administrators
will confer with borough and town
officials and county coal dealers on
the best. methods to handle the situ-
alton throughout the county.

BIG SURPLUS OF
POTATOES READY
FOR CONSUMERS
Farmers Urged to Sell and
Housewives to Buy Nour-
ishing Tubers

To effect a saving in wheat and
other foodstuffs and at the same time
prevent the waste of great quantities
of potatoes now held by the farmers,
the Dauphin County Food Admins
tration to-day urged all farmers to
make haste and dispose of their po-
tatoes in the shortest possible time.
There are thousands of bushels of
potatoes in Dauphin, Cumberland and
Perry counties. for which Harris
burg is the logical market" declared
Walter S. Schell. an authority on this
subject, this morning.
Potatoes are not in demand abroad
TO the extent that other foodstuffs
are. it is said, and. therefore. should
be consumed at home as a measure to
conserve other less plentiful food
stuffs. The price of potatoes now is
unusually low. which is one reason
tnat prevents the farmers from un-
loading their stock on the market. 1t
was pointed out by the local farm
agent this morning that within two
months new potatoes will be for
lower, so that it is useless to hold
the potatoes for higher prices.
One reason cited for the failure of
the farmers to place their potatoes
on the market is that they are busy
plowing at this time of year. The
unusually severe winter and the fact
that the farmers have been showed
in has hitherto prevented them from
getting their supplies to the market,
which accounts for the large quanti-
ties on hand. The potato crop was
unusually large last year.
1t was said this morning that large
quantities of potatoes were sold last
week, but not enough to unload the
stock held by farmers. A Potato
Week" to dispose of the supply was
suggested to the Food Administration
by Mr.. Schell. The necessity for dis
posing of the potatoes was heartily
endorsed by Mr. Mccormick this
morning.
