SAVE 6O,OOO,OOO TONS OF
C[ COAL is ORDER TO The U. S.
Only Way to Avert National Disas-
ter. Non-War Industries Must
Bear the Deficit.

A saving of between 5O,OOO,OOO
and 6O,O0O,OOO tons of coal this
year, either bv economy or the cur
tailment of non-war industry, or
both, the fuel administration declar-
ed is the only avenue of escape from
national disaster.
The administration, in a state
ment based upon it's budget for the
season of 1918-19, estimating an in
creased demand over last year of
80,000,000 tons, made no attempt to
minimize the alarming situation con-
fronting the country and called for
campaign of intensive fuel conser-
walton which will reach from the
smallest household consumer to the
largest industries, war and non-war.
It's announcement stated definitely
that any deficit would have to come
out of the allotment of the non-war
manufacturers.

out all the long years some of them
had known him was his tender affee-
ton for his wife, for whose love he
tossed aside all the glittering pros
poets that might have gone with the
Astor lineage and fortunes. SO lit

that he had not set foot in Manhattan
for 20 years.
Sacrificed Millions by Marriage.
What would have been Henry AS
tors share of the great estate owned
by his father, William B. Astor, went
to the Aston library. 1t has been as
serted that he forfeited $30,000,000
by his marriage, but enjoyed an in
come for properties in the heart of
the metropolis that netted him a
handsome sum. During the years
Henry Aston lived at West Copake
he purchased many of the neighbor-
ing farms and did much toward de-
veloping the rural community. He
also assisted many of his wife's rel
atives to prosperity.

children; sometimes with their old
grandparents. There are hundreds
and hundreds who are simply
brought along with people who are
not akin to them, their own parents
having been lost-killed or vanished
early in the war.
Northern France inside the Ger
man lines must contain thousands of
these homeless, wandering little chill
dren of no military or labor value to
the German invaders, having no one
who feels responsible for them or to
whom they can go, and so being al
lowed to roam about like little
tramps except for an occasional
roundup when a batch of them is
shipped back into France through
Evian.
"That is an awful thing. If war
had no worse horrors than the thous-
ands of homeless, vagrant children
who have no place to go except where
there is war, no outlook on life ex-
cept that it is game of kill or be
killed. it would be bad enough. But
to my mind even worse is the plight
of the children who have been born
to war, who never knew what peace
is like"

ASTROLOGICAL STATION is
ESTABLISHED AT LEESBURC
Is Expected That Taking of Obser-

Dawsons neighbor, Leesburg, has
been designated as site for an ero-
logical station for the observation,
measurement and investigation of
atmospheric phenomena in the aid of
aeroneautics. This was done under
the army appropriation act for this
year, authorizing 100000 for this
purpose. 1t is expected that free air
observations will be begun at Lees
burg about July 1. The weather bu-
reau has designated four Of these
sites in addition to the one in Geor-
gia; Brook Arrow, Okla; Glendale,
N. Oak; Groesbeck, Texas, and Roy
al Center, Ind. The work to be con-
Quoted at all these stations is similar
to that at Drexel, Neb., where daily
kite flights are made and about twice
each month the atmospheric changes
during the day at different attitudes
are studied by means Of successive
flights continuing from 80 to 40
hours.

UNKNOWN" ASTOR
DIES ON His FARM
MEMBER OF FAMOUS FAMILY
MARRIED FOR LOVE, AND
WAS DISINHERITED.

Henry Aston, grandson of the
FIRST John Jacob Aston, and known as
the "disinherited" and Submerged"
Aston, died at his country estate at
West Copake, N. Y, after having liv-
ed the life of a simple country gen.
+leman for upwards of half a cen
+rrv. He died without issue through
the wife for love of whom he re-
nounced many millions of dollars as
we'll as social position. The wife, who
was Malvina Dinehart, survives him.
The octogenarian Astor-he was
in his eighty-seventh year when he
died-was the uncle of William Wal
dorf Aston and granduncle of Ensign
Vincent Aston. On account of his
marriage to Miss Dinehart, the at
tractive daughter of a gardener en-
ploved on one of the Aston estates,
he virtually was disinherited by his
father and ignored by other branches
of the famous family. Very popular
among his neighbors, simple in his
tastes and fond of outdoor life, Hen
nv Astor lived the comfortable, con-
tented life of a gentleman in the
Berkshire hills.
His neighbors said of him that,
