ALL COAL DEALERS
MUST REGISTER
Favored Consumers Are No Longer
To Enjoy The Special
Privileges

Favored coal consumers who here
tofore have been enabled to get car
loads of coal, though they were not
dealers, are deprived of that privilege,
under instructions sent out yesterday
by the Fuel Administrator, requiring
all dealers in Baltimore and Maryland
to register Only dealers who have
registered by September l will be sup
piled with coal in any quantity.
The so-called ''snow birds" and
other parasites on the coal trade will
be wiped out entirely by this latest
action to control the distribution Of
fuel and any dealer who violates the
rules and regulations of the Fuel Ad-
ministration will have his source of
supply closed to him.
Those dealers who register this
month will be furnished with a GER
tifcate of registration which must be
posted in conspicuous place. These
certificates will be issued by the chair
man of each City or County, and thus
the dealer will come squarely under
his local Fuel Administrator
In the past, before a dealer could be
penalized or fined for overcharging or
violating the rules and regulations, il
has been necessary for the complain
ing customer to appear before the
State Fuel Administrator. But under
this new system of registering, Gus
toner may complain to the local Fuel
Administrator, and he is authorized to
enter complaint and send it to the spe-
cial department at Washington, in the
form of written and sworn to testi-
mony.
By this system of registering it is
also intended to cause a more equal
supply of coal to the dealers in each
community.

SEWERAGE AND OTHER
OYSTER POLLUTION
Conditions In Curtis Bay And
Patapsco River Relating To
Bivalves Discussed
NO OYSTERS IN RIVER

After the Baltimore City sewage
was diverted from the harbor oyster
sets occurred on bars on Sparrows
Point and from there down 10 Seven
foot Knoll, which is within eight
miles of the mouth of Curtis Bay.
Marketable oysters were taken on
these bars within a couple of years
after the diversion of the Baltimore
City effluent This was the first time
oysters had been found in these To-
calities for many years, and indicated
that by the clearing up of the water
the shellfish industry was benefited.
but after the Curtis Bay plant began
TO discharge its waste and after the
increased discharge OF sewage from
the populous suburbs of the city no
more oysters were found in the two
oyster seasons since the beginning of
operations at Curtis Bay. This is a
further evidence of the effect of this
waste
With the annexation of the popu-
lous suburbs. including Curtis Bay,
sewage in the suburbs will be dispos-
ed of, as it is in the city, while the
poisonous waste from the Curtis Bay
plants viii have been disposed
Hence the prospect that through
annexation the bottoms of the Pa
tapseo River will become valuable
oyster beds, while fish will again ap-
pear in great abundance.
Prolific oyster bars are located in
the Bay. just of and north of the
of great value as seed for transplant
mouth of the Patapsco River. These
beds are mainly of small oysters and
ing In fact, their greatest value lies
in that direction, since they seldom
attain a marketable size. 1t is very
evident that these extensive beds of
oysters are not propagated from
spawn emanating on them, but from
the spawn of beds in other localities
which "set" on these beds. This
spawn swims and is moved by tidal
action on the surface for varying
periods before becoming larvae, and
with the first growth of shell, losing
it's buoyancy and settling on the bot
tom. The infertile state of the water
OFF Patapsco River due to the trade
waste would undoubtedly kill this
sensitive spawn and larvae in course
of transit to the oyster beds.
AS the matter now rests, this whole
situation is up to the United States
Government, and particularly the Air
craft Board.
Will they permit the needed evapo-
rators to be procured and installed
without further delay and thus stop
the depletion of the States valuable
supply of water foods not only for
the present but in the years to come?

the Conservation Commission, which
is dealing with the problem

EFFECTIVE WORK
WITHOUT NOISE

A feature of Red Cross Home Serv-
ice is its quiet inconspicuousness
Ask almost any resident of the city
if any measures of relief for soldiers
and sailors dependents had yet been
necessary and the reply would be
something like this:
why, no; not that / know Of Why
should there be? The draft is exempt
ing men with dependents. isn't it? And
don't suppose many such are volun-
teering. And isn't the government it
self giving adequate allowances to
sailors and soldiers dependents?'
All true, in a measure, yet a glance
at the report proves how great the
needs, and how much has been done.
What is true in one city is equally true
elsewhere. Cases of need-not neces-
sarily poverty, but of need for friend
ly service-are arising all the time in
great numbers.
Naturally, those in need of relief
must not be exposed to publicity, to
the gossip of neighbors, nor anything
which would shame their pride or
bring humiliation. Yet, if you will
make inquiry in your own town you
will find your Red Cross Home Service
Section, if you have wide-awake
Chapter. quietly extending the hand of
fellowship to those of whom the war
is already exacting the maximum
price.
Red Cross Home Service is not left
entirely to individual discretion, and
not at all to the judgment of the un-
trained sentimentalist. In its ranks,
directing the work. are to be found
many of the most competent social
workers. Its principles and practices
have been well defined and are in har-
mony, almost identical, with the best
we have been able TO learn in Amer
lea about social service. Besides the
4 experienced leaders, there are thou
sands of other workers who have TAX
en- special training in the duties of a
Home Service worker. These are al
most entirely volunteers.
I Last autumn the Red Cross estab-
lished in twenty-five cities, in all parts
of the United States, institutes for the
+ training of prospective Home Service
workers These Institutes were con-
Quoted in conjunction with universi-
ties and colleges, and the course COW
cred a period of six weeks. Those
taking the course were required TO
give all their time to their studies and
also to pledge to the Red Cross a
definite period of service upon gradu-
alton. From these courses have come
many of the investigators who con-
stitute the front line of Home Serv-
ice. and their supports, the Friendly
Visitors.
These institutes will be repeated
throughout the duration of the war as
often as needed.

COAL OPERATORS
GET TOGETHER
Anthracite Men Confer On Production
With United States
Committee

A "get-together" meeting OF anthra-
cite operators was held Saturday, in
the Lafayette Building. Phila., Pa,
with the Anthracite Committee of the
4. s. Fuel Administration The object
OF the meeting was to "check-up" on
the anthracite output with a view 10
increasing il if possible.
Operators, representing companies
shipping to all destinations permitted
BY the Fuel Administration, had the
situation explained to them. Special
stress was placed on the companies,
seeing to il that consignees empty
cars the same day as received, if hu
manly possible. A speeding up pro-
cess was urged that would enable the
railroads TO return "empties to the
mines as quickly as possible.
The operators agreed TO follow all
plans and suggestions likely TO ex-
production. They wanted ii under
stood that If it is in their power and
no further depletion of the mine
workers army occurs by draft and
other causes. they will do their best to
see that retail dealers get their adj
vance orders filled 70 the last ton by
the first of November They figure
that no really cold weather viii come
before that date TO entail any fuel
hardship on the consuming public.
