DISTRIBUTION OF
 FREE COAL WILL BE
 CONTINUED TODAY
Cars Delayed Yesterday in Transit Expected in City Today-Coal
 Situation Clearing, Is Report

There was no free coal distribution in Birmingham yesterday. It was not because there were no good Samari- tans to donate the coal but because the fuel didn't reach the city.
 "There was some delay somewhere said J. Frank Rushton last night. "The coal should have been here yesterday and was to have been distributed at Twenty eighth street and Avenue D and at Twenty-second street and Ave- nuc E. We believe the cars will ar rive this morning and in that event they will be distributed as planned for yesterday.
 There will be some arrangements made in the remainder of the distri- button to reserve a portion of the coal for white families that are in need. over 9S per cent of that which has been given out to date has gone to negroes. While the original purpose is being served even in this manner, the full purpose and spirit of per feet fairness to all Is not being real ized."
 It is understood that the Alabama coal mines have practically doubled their output since the first touch of the coal famine and it is expected to relieve to a great extent the trying part of the situation. The situation is passing through it's worst stage. it is asserted by the operators and deal- CTS, and the early return of almost normal conditions is predicted.

It Is the desire of the authorities to place vice in the city or a minimum. and to accomplish this tkey believe 1t will take several more lousy nights"

Tonight at o'clock in the private dining room of the Hillman hotel the financial canvass of the Birmingham Sunday School association will begin. A. l.. Smith, general in charge of the canvass and chairman of the board of directors of the association. will pre- side.
 The head of each committee will be known as a commander. as the teams have been named for the different can tonments in the south 1t is expected there will be much friendly rivalry, as each contributor secured counts an officer and every dollar secured counts as a recruit. The different canton- ments will challenge each other for the first day Each day at 12:3o o'clock the cantonments will meet in the pri- yate room for lunch and to make their reports.
 Numbers of people have already sent their pledges for the next two years to the office of the association. A good many have doubled their pledges. saying that it was a pleasure to do so Chairman Smith believes that the amount of $12,o00 will be secured easily with the corps of workers that he has secured and also with the generosity of the Birmingam people.
 Another feature of the canvass is that there will be a home guard, that Is, a committee of women who will wait on the women of the city. Mrs. W. M. Walker Is commander and has the following associated with her: Mrs. Robert Daniels. Mrs. John Cartwright. Mrs. N. L. Miller and Miss A. l.. Will Hams.

B|RM|NGHAMW WILL OBSERVE MONDAY IN SPIRIT MEANT BY GOVERNMENT. Practically All Retail Stores in the City Will Be
 Closed Tight
 Today OFFICE BUILDINGS WILL FEEL EFFECT
 OF FUEL ORDER All Branches of Industry Yesterday Indicated Will lingness to Comply
 With Regulations

Today Birmingham faces it's first Monday under the new regulations of the federal fuel administration which make this day a holiday for the next ten weeks.
 Many of the city's most prominent merchants have announced that their stores will be closed all day today. The regulations provide that a store may not use any fuel during the day, except that grocers, food stores and drug stores may remain heated all day. A special order regarding the food stores was issued by the fuel administration last night.
 Under the interpretation generally given, store might remain open all day as usual provided no heat was used. It was understood yesterday, however. that nearly all the retail establishments in Birmingham would interpret the reg ulation in its strictest sense and would not attempt to do any business at all.
 Even the laundries have decided to close for the day. although there were sOIuS ullLcI6nl OPiltlObS dS hO hOW tAVJ would be affected on Mondays.
 Cases were reported of small mer- chants here, and those who felt that they might keep open by burning wood or gas or oil, but the Interpretation gen. crafty placed on the regulations was that this would be supterfuge and that the intent of the fuel administration was to save fuel of every kind ana de- scription.
 Banks and trust companies are yer- mitted to remain open unless the day be declared legal holiday by the gov ernor.
 In the office buildings only those can use heat who are doctors or dentists or whose work is in direct connection with the selling or distribution of fuel
 It was understood yesterday that the arrangements of the office buildings would turn off the heat in all offices in their buildings except those exempted and that if it Is found turned on today the authorities will know that the building management had nothing to do with 1t. However, there was not the slightest indication that there would be failure in any instance to observe the regulations
 The city steam will be in the pipes as usual for the benefit of hospitals, public buildings and others allowed to use 1t, but the company will be unable to make any check upon those who violate the regulations They will simply know that the more steam turned on the more coal they will have to shovel under their boilers.
 Thus far every branch of industry in Birmingham has entered heartily into the spirit of the fuel conservation meas ure, and the steps which have been taken by the manufacturers during the past three days will now oe taken by the merchants and professional men gencr- ally.
 Under the newest order theatres and moving picture houses will be open on Monday, but will use no heat on Tues- days.

If you've gotta feel bad, feel bad for him, He ain't got time for tears. So forget about the lonely streak, Remember the part you play, You're over here to do your bit And until then you've gotta stay You're thinkin about the folks back home? We'll, they're thinkin about you, too. IT eyre mighty proud you're over here, So why in he-l feel blue? So just buck up and do your share, And doin' it wear a smile, It's the things we have to fight hard for That makes our lives worth while. Why it's all part of life's big game, Loneliness, love and joy But it's the things like that that makes the man; Ee man, buck up, my boy.
 "Of course, while I am connected with railroad regiment, don't for one mo-
 ment think that such work is a safe bet; no. far from that Manys the time that our fellows have run a train in the face of death. Can you imagine being in the cab of an engine with 'boche-o-plane' with it's rapid-fire gun turned on you? Can you imagine running trainload of high explosives over a bridge that is be- 1 ing shelled? Such are some of the things that we encounter, only few; I cannot state further cases. l But then we, like yourselves, have a great deal of respect for the man in the trench under shell fire, who spends his days and nights looking out on NO MANS LAND. There's a spot that is A place very safe. Where angels dare not tread. Bound in wire, Baptized in fire, l Its ground is strewn with dead. | Its earth is soaked l With crimson cloak. | It's an altar for human things, | That battle with hate, | That toy with fate, l To satisfy emperors and kings. Hrmanity's cry In each death sigh
 1 Is lost ir an effort to gain. | Brutality jecrs
 l At loved ones' tears, | For here supreme it reigns.
 l On this barren waste. Where lifes the race, Man forgets Thou shalt not kill" | The words once taught, | Now count for naught, l Blood-craving rules the will. 1 With the day and night 1 Human life takes flight. For so-called victory grand, And Dust thou art, You become a part | Of the dust in NO Mans Land"
