SAVING COAL AND SHIPPING

Fuel Administrator Garfield plans reorganization of
the fuel supply system He will have coal used as
possible to the place where mined 1t is pointed out that
the coal from the Pocahontas mine last year hauled to
Chicago some 100000 tons Of it, distance of $50 miles.
Under the new arrangement Chicago will be supplied
from mines within radius of 331 miles, saving on
the haul from this coal mine Of $50 miles for two mil
lion tons This is but sample Of what will be done The
country is divided into fourteen and it is
purposed to supply each Of these from the nearest mnes
those within the if possible II is also intended to
see that coal users get their supplies in possible
so as to keep both and miners busy all the time The
intention is to have each factory and city lay in stock Of
coal as far in advance possible 1t is claimed there will
be an production this last year of not
less than 10 per cent While this is being done in the in
terest Of providing fuel the direct motive there is be-
hind it an attempt to do away with shortage and to
also conserve shipping the Atlantic Yesterday the de-
partment called attention of those having relatives in
France that dainties can be purchased more cheapy
there than in the United States and urging relatives not
to send sweemeats and such things to the boys at the
front The statement is made that recent mail shipments
composed largely Of goodies for the boys occupied
10000 cubic feet Of space and space that is badly needed
Just now for getting necesaes such food and cothng
to our soldiers It is also suggested that conservation of
cars be aided by refranng from shipping any thing but
such products as must be shipped the same time it is
pointed out that by refranng from travelling unless
when necessary that great conservation of cars and
coal will naturally follow 1t is not necessary to neglett
ones business to do these things but only refrainng
from doing the unnecessary things that use up fuel and
require cars

The poilus on the entire front, after

If the Bavarians' offensive does not

COVERING THE HAT FRAME
Sure Way of Getting Headgear That
Fits and Is Becoming-HoW to
Economic on Millinery.

1t is difficult matter usually to COW
er q hat frame so that it looks well.
However you can do this if you go
about it in the right way. If you have
an old hat made on a buckram frame
that is becoming the best thing is to
recover that. Then you are sure Of
a hat that fits and is becoming. You
can cover the brim by making a bias
band Slightly more than twice as wide
as the brim, joining it in circle, fold
ing it 1engthwise through the center,
slipping it over the brim with the
raw edges toward the crOwn-one on
a line with the lining and the other
on the edge of the outside crown
and gathering the fullness along both
edges neatly into place.
The lining, which always goes In
after all trimming has been placed,
covers one of these gathered edges.
Now cover the crown letting the raw
edge of the crown piece meet the raw
edge of the brim covering. Over this
joining place a neat band of straw
braid. Where the two ends of the
braid meet you can arrange the flower
trimming. Sometimes you can wind
several lengths of straw braid around
the lower part of the crown to make
a band three or four inches wide.
