be made were it not for good reason.
The appeal is really one for sacrifice
on the part of the American people at

traditional gcrging with meats at

Years. This seems no small thing TO
do, but it is ludicrous when contrast

cans abroad.

but to a baked Goldfish, halibut or had

Perhaps among the expensive Amer
lean customs ended by the war will
be that of celebrating holidays with
gluttony of meats. Nor will the sub
stitutior of fish be a disadvantage On
the contrary, it will be an advantage,
both from the standpoint of economy
and OF health. ~

sents William Russell, the popular
American Film star, in Hobbs in a
Hurry" the six-reel comedy drama
from the pen Of George Lee McCan-

from the beaten track of the familiar
photoplay, which usually involves the
eternal triangle or the super-sensa-

Hobbs in Hurry" is a breezy
western story, Astounding in comedy
bits, and hard-riding groups of dis
tinguished American cowboys, and a
number of unusual scenes aboard a
limited express. Scenically, the pro-
duction is out of the ordinary in many
ways, some of the backgrounds being
taken among the rugged foothills that
lie just to the West of Santa Barbara,
California, where the American studios
are located.

ANTHRACITE INDUSTRY
is UP AGAINST IT

The consuming public should rea-
lie what the anthracite industry is
up against" it in maintaining output
with the dearth of labor power at the
mines caused by the "flu" epidemic
and the shortage of $4,000 workers
since the war began due to draft and
other causes.
The industry recognizes its public
obligations, as to coal output, and the
distribution of il, and is much per-
picked where to get the labor to do
the work. The necessity for en-
larged supply is acknowledged. The
needs of the nation at war and the
constantly growing demands of war
industries and shifting and growing
population, is also felt.
DR.. Garfield outlines the demand
upon anthracite mines to produce six
and one-third per cent increase. With
additional labor, it can be done and
more. The tabled story of the heroic
deeds of Hercules, with his prowess
for strength and doing wonders, is
now being studied by the operators,
in determined attempt to try and do
almost the impossible with present
working conditions.
To maintain output, in part, re-
course is being made to the culm-
banks from which large tonnages of
chiefly steam-sized coal are being re-
covered. No complaints have been
made by consumers using such coal,
for it burns well; contains all the car
bon properties of fresh-mined coal
and gives forth the required heat.

CAPT. DEAN KILLED;
WAS AT CAMP MEADE

One of those who helped train the
men of the Liberty Division at Camp
Meade to prepare against the atrocities
of the Huns-a man from a foreign
country, fell in action on September
II. He was Capt. Harold NJ Dean, of
"The Kings Own Scottish Borderevs,"
who was a member of the British Mil
itary Mission attached to the Seventy
ninth Division, and gas instructor at
this cantonmen.
Capt. Dean spent four years in the
war. He was wounded several times
and his life was despaired Of He suf-
fered from shell shock, too, and from
poison gas, but he fought against odds
and won out for the time being He
came to America, taught the soldiers
at Wadsworth and at Meade how to
fight against the gas tactics, and then
went across again with the Seventy
ninth to make the supreme sacrifice
during the closing days of the war.
His friend. Capt c. Eric Hemmerde
another member of the British mis-
sion, who was married in Baltimore
last winter, was killed in September.
He met his death while leading his
men against German machine-gun
nests. Thus persisted two brave Brit
ishers who did so much to help the
Maryland boys beat the Hun, and help
in the attainment of world liberty.

forget them as brave, chivalrous. low
