Denver, Col, May 1.-THE total
eclipse of the sun forecast to occur
Oh June s has been postponed for one
tour This is not the result Of any
error in the calculations of the as
tronomers nor is it due to an order
by modern Joshua that the sun stand
still, but is chargeable to the opera
tons of the daylight saving law as a
result of which the clocks through
out the United States were set for
ward an hour on March 81.
In consequence the eclipse will be-
gin in Denver at Alp p. m, will be-
come total at 5:22 p. M, willpass from
totality at 5:24 p. m. and will end at
6:27 The same variation in the
hours of the eclipse will prevail
throughout the length of the fifty
rifle belt, extending from the south
eastern corner of Washington state to
the cost of Florida, in which the total
eclipse will be visible.
This change in hours will not affect
the astronomers, however as their
clocks still are adjusted to standard
sun time.
Preparations for observing the
eclipse, the first total eclipse OF the
sun visible in the United States since
1900 and the last until 1923, are 60

TO SECURE SATISFACTORY
DISTRIBUTION OF ANTHRACITE

Philadelphia, May 11.--Millions OF
consumers throughout the country are
experiencing delay in the filing of
ci iders they placed for anthracite coal
since spring opened. This in spite of
the fact that the production now IL
the greatest in the history OF the
country. A circular isued by the an
thracite committee of the United
States Fuel Administration explains
the situation. 1t says:
MANY complaints are being re-
ceived from state administrators that
buyers of anthracite coal cannot OBJ
tain any satisfactory information rel
ative to their supply from parties
with whom they normally conduct
their business.
Zone of the producing companies
IS answering inquiries as follows:
TO secure the most equitable distrl-
button of anthracite coal and to pro-
vide that greatest satisfaction during
the coming year, it has been arranged
by the anthracite committee that the
dealers shall secure their coal from
the sources of supplies that fur
Eished 1t during the coal year 1916-17.
Therefore, If you will take the matter
up with the company which supplied
you in that period you will be given
every consideration
"The foregoing reply answers this
question satisfactorily and, II you
agree, we would be placed to have
you make replies along the same
line"
That the big work of co-ordinating
the distribution of anthracite may be
handled with the best system and dis
patch, the anthracite committee has
asked that all local fuel administra-
tors shall take up any question as to
deliveries through their respective
state fuel administrators instead Of
dealing direct with producing COM
ranies.
