FORWARD REPORT
ON COAL famine
Not Single Industry In County Sus.
pended Because Of Inability to Get
Fuel, Says Carlson.

Not single industry in Rock Is
land county was forced to close down
because of failure to get coal, accord
ing to a statement made yesterday by
Mayor M. R. Carlson, Moline, secre-
tary of the county fuel administra-
ton, in a report to State Admins
traitor Williams. Data is being Sc.
cured from the entire state in order
that Mr.. Williams may have an ade-
quate idea of the present situation.
Rock. Island county has been ex-
tremely fortunate during the coal
crisis, for in many sections of Illinois
factories were forced to suspend for g
considerable length of time. 1t !;
figured that Is per cent Of the fac
tories of this county have enough
coal on hand to last them seven day:
and Is per cent sufficient for 10
day stretch.
The report states that although tn
county still requires Is additiona
cars of domestic coal daily, consum
ers are being properly taken care o
and danger of suffering In case o
more severe weather is practically re
moved. A survey yesterday show
1900 tons or SO cars of domestic Goa
in transit to Moline and 9S3 tons il
the yards of dealers.

ROCK ISLAND MAN HURT.

Three feet separate the Rock Island
tracks and the outer edge of Fourth
avenue pavement between Fourteenth
and Fifteenth streets, Moline. John
O'Neil, 1925 Twentieth street, Rock Is
land manager of the East Moline Mer-
camille company, was walking on the
outer edge of that pavement shortly
before this morning when he was
caught up and thrown to the road by
the cylinder head of an engine hauling
an east bound Rock Island freight
train. Mr.. O'Neil's attempt to save a
few steps nearly cost him his life. He
was unconscious when passing
motorist picked him up. Later exami-
nation indicates that his left arm is
broken in two places and that he is
severely bruised all over the body. He
will be confined to the house for al
least month.
Mr.. O'Neil was walking west, the
train was bound east. None of the
railway employees could give an ex
PLANTATION of the accident. Traffic po
licemen at Fourteenth and Fifteenth
streets knew nothing of the accident
until the freight train stopped, theil
view being blocked by the train itsel
and by Burlington train.

WATCH WORTH $1,000
SFOUND ON A BOY

When a Moline boy appeared at a
jewelry store in Davenport yesterday
with a watch valued at nearly $1,000,
the mystery of the disappearance OF
the watch from the jewelry store Of
C. l. Josephson in Moline last sum-
mer, was in a measure cleared. The
youth was arrested and released on
bail.
When placed in custody he said he
came into possession Of the watch
through Merle Foster, who has since
been declared delinquent and commit
ted to the school for boys at St
Charles, and credence is given to his
story.
The valuable timepiece was Of plat
mum, set with SO diamonds. The boy
into whose hands it fell had no idea
of its value and his parents suspected
nothing when they saw it in the home
The boy said the watch came from {
| 10 cent store.
< Yesterday he thought he would sef
what he could obtain on it from Mo
line pawnshop and he was surprised
when he was offered $40. Then h.
went to Davenport and was offere;
S1OO. Trying another place he wa
less fortunate, the proprietor report
ing the matter to the police.
If it develops to be true that tn
boy who had the watch came int
possession of it innocently no charge
will be pressed against him.

L. A. Mahoney. Moline s6perintend-
ent Of schools, is anxious to receive as
early as possible applications of all

BILE to assign an entire lot to each ap-

STUDENTS PROVE LOYAL.

A campaign for members in the Jun
Tor Red Cross auxiliary was Launched
this morning in the schools of Moline,
and at 9:15, Is minutes after the cam
paign started, Miss Myrtle Englund
Of room 10 at Garfield school reported
to l.. A. Mahoney, superintendent or
schools, that her room had enrolled
100 per cent. She has 40 pupils.
The hope is to be able to put every
school over the top with 100 per cent
membership in 10 days. Using each
room as a unit, an attempt is being
made to stimulate activity by having
different rooms in the same building
and the corresponding grade rooms IN
different buildings enter into competi-
ton. 1t is also hoped to excite inter-
est by having the different schools
contest to be the first to go over the
top.
In order that the requirement OF
membership dues shall not press upon
any child who individually cannot
raise the sum of % cents, the Red
Cross has adopted the plan OF group
membership by which the school, not
the child, raises the amount. This
does not mean that every child must
become a member of the Junior Red
Cross, but simply that each child Is
entitled to obtain this membership II
desired.
The Junior Red Cross is designed tt
be primarily an educational function
making the teacher and the pupil i'm
mediately and increasingly useful IL
their natural center of work-tht
school.

Wilson, "for temporary enlargement

cation of the new emphasis which tn
war has given to the ideals Of democ

We are advised to dress warmly; keep
the feet dry; avoid exposure; eat less
meat, but drink plenty OF good water.
rheumatism Is direct result OF eat
ing too much meat and other rich
foods that produce uric acid, which is
absorbed into the blood. 1t is the
function Of the kidneys to filter this
acid from the blood and cast 1t out in
the urine; the pores Of the skin are
also a means of freeing the blood OF
this impurity In damp and chilly colo
weather the skin pores are closed, thus
forcing the kidneys to do double work,
they become weak and sluggish and
fail to eliminate the uric acid. which
keeps accommodating and circulating
through the system, eventually settling
in the Joints and muscles, causing
stiffness. soreness and pain called
rheumatism.
At the first twinge OF rheumatism
