AIMS TO Protect
CONSUMERS OF COAL
Administration To Prevent Ex-
0rbitant Prices.

Washington, Nov 22.-The Fuel
Administration announced Thurs
day that the price Of anthracite
coal viii not be allowed to advance
beyond the actual labor cost involv-
ed in the recent wage adjustment to
miners, where others remain as
they were. The consumer will be pro-
tected from exorbitant prices.
Gross margins of profit allowed
the retail coal dealers throughout
the country vary in general from
s1.75 to s275 a ton, according to To-
cal conditions, and from that amount
they must meet all costs of conduct
ing business. The cost to the retail
er is the price at the mine, plus
freight, except in certain situations
where the jobbers' profit is 20 cents
a ton is allowed east of Buffalo and
80 cents west of that place.
Local fuel committees will inves-
tigate the retailers cost of conduct
ing business and ascertain the prop
er maximum retail gross margin to
the price of coal at the mine and to
the transportation charges.

MADE MAPS while
Big GUNS R0ARED
Printed BY Yanks Close to the
Front Line of Battle.

For the first time in any war bat
lie field maps have been prited lit
orally within sound Of the roar of
the big guns at the front. n portable
printing press for map making is
one of the many outeomes Of the
war and it is an American invention
and has been in actual use behind
the lines Of the American armies in
France.
The press was carried upon a
large truck and is moved from place

for the American map makers to

square in less than twelve hours.
The designs were copied from
maps on larger scale, complete
set of these being carried by each
corps printing outfit. When rush
or special order was received from
the front usually a small map was
turned out, this being followed by a
map on larger scale if needed.
Owing to the portable printing
press invention it is now possible
for soldiers in the front lines to be
supplied with maps prepared and
printed the same day. almost within
range Of the heavy guns of the enc
my. In addition to the portable map
making detachments the American
army has an immense plant to print
the larger and more detailed maps
OF all parts of France, or more par
tieularly the fighting ground as the
Americans advanced.

C7T1oMoRROW Saturday, afternoon
 brings to finale for this season = the delightful teas at the Tutwi.er which have been so largely attended dur ing the winter. spring and summer months.
 It will be pleasant news to society to know that these weekly teas will be re- sumed early in the autumn when Mrs. George w. Wheeler, the popular hostess who has presided with so much grace and tact a. these affairs will again act in this capacity and endeavor to make the teas even more attractive than in the past.
 Mrs Wheeler has made the Tutwiler teas the real events of society during the few months they have been given. Many Saturday afternoons the attend ance has been near the 45o mark, seldom less than $50 at the height of the season. The visiting soldiers from Camp McClal- Ian. Camp Sheridan, Camp Gordon ana other camps. the English and French officers have all added great deal to the attractions of the teas, and next sea son. this condition will obtain again since the camps are now filled with new men, and these soldiers will be visitors to Bir- mingham frequently.
 During these strenuous war times, Bir- mingham hostesses, famed for their beau- tiful entertainments, have opened their homes only at very rare intervals, every body being engaged in war work of some kind which has supplanted social affairs almost completely, and the Tutwiler teas have been just the one link which held society together during the dull days.
 Many a pleasant tea party has been enjoyed at the Tutwiler on Saturdays after a hard week of Red Cross, W. ;. S, Y M c. A., or Y. w. c. A. work, and it has really been a boon to society to have these informal gatherings
 Next season the teas will be even more welcome than they were this sea- son, since war conditions will probably make entertaining almost impossible and with the resuming of the teas in the autumn a pleasant anticipation will ba rewarded after the dull summer interim. Mrs. Wheeler will leave next week for Mount Clemens, Mich, to spend her va cation.
 The final tea at the Tutwiler Saturday afternoon promises to be gala eVenf, many PRESENTATIONS nave dlAeduS pcS'Ai made and society will turn out en masse to enjoy the occasion.
