Through the
Coal Shortage
Copyright, 1918, by the Mcclure Newspa-
per Syndicate.)
By GEORGE VrX

In the nice warm days of June the
idea Of rooming and preparing her
own meals had appealed to Ethel StO-
rey, so she rented two-roomed apart
ment and established her little house
hold. It was an airy place and all
summer she enjoyed it, but when the
cold weather came on she found that
she had problem before her. The
only means of heating the rooms was
from little coal stove, and when one
doesn't understand the management
of coal stove and is dependent upon
1t, there is trouble ahead. But Ethel
learned to manage 1t at last and would
have been fairly comfortable all win
ter had not the coal shortage come on.
The dealer from whom she had been
getting the coal announced that they
none to be procured.
For a week she managed to get
along by burning charcoal, but when
she came to figure up accounts at the
end of the week she found that the
charcoal was costing her nearly as
to try something else, she told herself,
and then she remembered the old tree
in the back yard, that had been blown
down in the big storm that had
caused the railways to be tied up and
had mainly been the cause of the in
ability Of the roads to carry through
coal to supply the consumers. The

but it would be just as cheap to pay
a fine as to burn charcoal, she rea
soned, as she put on her coat and
armed herself with hammer to begin
work, converting the maple into fire.
wood.
After nearly five minutes hard la
Dor she decided that hammer wasn't
a very good substitute for an ak.
Cant l help youY' Ethel heard some
one say, and looked up to see Leo De-
laney, who occupied the front suite
on the first floor, smiling down at her.
"Oh, Mr.. Delaney, I'm trying to chop
firewood," she explained with laugh
as she attempted to straighten her
hair. u haven't bit of coal and
won't Be able to get any for some
time. This tree just simply refuses to
break up"
"It is too green to burn, anyway"
he said, as he examined the wood.
However, If it would burn you
wouldn't be able to chop enough with
that hammer to last ten minutes"
"What am I going to do?" she
asked in perplexity. 'Tll have to
move some place else where the heat
ing is looked after"

The next moment two other women.
tempted by the proximity of such rare
and rich fare, made simultaneous
but cautious assault on the egg nest.
The sharp jolt with which the train
was brought to standstiH at Cum
mersdorf, however, impaired an indis-
Greet violence to their encircling move
ment and, simultaneously with
heart-rending cry Of "My eggs" the
attacking parties found themselves
flung in the lap Of their intended VIC
tim.
With a sickening crash the hidden
treasure flowed forth In a nauseat-
ing yellow and white stream. The Sc
quel was a free fight among the pas.

tered with the liquid, and the. battle
ragged until the next station was reach
ed, when the weeping egg hoarder was

So that was where Leo had got the
coal. She wouldn't let him suffer
alone. She would go and give herself
up as an accomplish.
She had her hat and coat on when
she heard someone coming up the
stairs. She gave gasp of joy when
Leo stood in the doorway.
"Why, you have. been crying and
look so excited and worn out" he ex.
claimed as he caught sight of her.
"What has happened, Ethel?"
81 thought you were arrested" she
choked, for the tears wouldn't stop.
Arrested? For what?"
She showed him the paper.

HER EGG HOARD SCRAMBLED

A tragic tale of boarded eggs and

The travellers in a third-class COM

Storkow and Cummersdorf had almost

"They would not care to have you
give it to me-" she said obviously.
'They wouldn't miss little bit like
that, and besides I have right to it."
Ethel did not ask him to explain his
right, but she felt that if he said so
1t would be all right to accept the
COAL. He kept her fire well supplied
after that and many a time when he
carried scuttle up the stairs to her,
he stayed to chat.
The little coal that did come to the
city was soon distributed and could
not be sold to consumers in less than
quarter-ton lots, so as the weeks went
by Leo was still keeping Ethel sup
piled. One evening she came home
and found that her scuttle was empty
and the fire low. She waited for Leo
to appear for nearly half an hour and
then went to the first floor in search
of him. There was no response to her
zap on the door of his suite. She
picked up the evening paper which
she had brought with her.

"It amt the coffee nor the pie nor

trifie askew sometimes, and maybe u
lock Of hair Strengthened out Of curl,
just like mother used to have hers
come when she was hurrying too hard
that's the thing that makes a fellow
glad he happened to be with this par

says, Here, son, have another piece Of

AMERICAS WOMEN JOINED
IN ANTHEM OF SERVICE
Millions of Red Cross Workers Do Multitude
of Little Things at Home Which Enable
Our Boys to Do Great Things ih France

Under the banner of the Red Cross
American women are working In
homes, churches, clubs, schools, shops,
theaters, factories, hospitals and In
thousands of Red Cross work-rooms.
The hum of sewing machines, tie
whizz of muslin torn to accurate strips,
the rat-tat-tat of volunteer .typewrit-
ers, the purr of boiling kettles in can
teens, the rumbling of automobiles of
the Motor Corps, the soft click Of knit
ting needles in lonely cabins and farm
houses, all blend into Il great anthem
of service. .@
About S,O00,OU0 women working
through Red Cross Chapters and
branches are making with their hands
relief supplies-surgical dressings,
knitted articles, hospital and refugee
garments-or working ar volunteers,
subject to any call day or night, at 800
railroad stations throughout the coun-
try and at the ports Of embarkation, or
serving In volunteer Motor Corps.
Truly here is an army with banners
banners of red cross on white field.
For the period up to the first Of July,
1918, American Red Cross Chapters,
through their work-rooms, had produc-
ed 1872, 748,107 surgical dressings, TO-
134,5O1 knitted articles, 10,786,4S9 hos

COMFORTS, SMILES AND CAKE
LIKE MOTHER USED TO MAKE
Thus Every Red Cross Canteen Becomes Bit OF Home
for Our Soldiers in France.

railroad station canteen service, and
the big canteens with the writing
rooms and showers and libraries, and
lounges where a fellow can rest
while, but the boys who have been
there insist that they love the little
rolling canteens that just naturally
spring up where you least expect them,
most of ALL
Many we'll known names ara on the
lists of canteen workers, for Ameri-
can women were quick to seize the op-
portunity for service. The poorest
soldier Cd his leave may be served by
an American woman whose hospitality
was formerly dealt out by her maids
and butlers-and whose guest lists In
cluded only the most fashionable
names In the social register Now II
is she who hands over the pie with
her Own hands and then gathers up
the dishps-yes, and oftentimes washes
them when help is scarce, for they
have to be washed and made ready
for the next lot of soldiers-and one
cannot disappoint the boys who are
never too tired to respond to the call
of duty.
Another part of the canteen service
is the "store," where the soldiers are
supplied with their needs, where
things they have lost in the heat of
battle are replaced, tooth paste hand
ed out, razor blades, towels, tooth
brushes, all sorts of things, not forget
ting the post cards to send home and
the ever wanted packages IF cigar
cites.
Taking It all in all, the canteen does
far more than fill the stomachs of the
men-it puts something worth while
into their hearts.
