DANGER NOT YET CONE

Hartford, Feb. 14.-Despite the sun- light of the false spring the shadow of the fuel famine still lies across the state and. according to Arthur C.. Woolley, state director of bituminous transportation, it is likely to continue for weeks to come.
 "Even with a continuance of warmer weather I do not look for a general relief of industry in Connecticut be- fore April l." said MT. Woolley today. with more favorable conditions of railroad traffic it may be that fac~ tories engaged i'll government work will have fuel relief before that time, but think the general manufacturing situation will remain hard pressed for any coal at all.
 "As things are now, there is not enough coal coming into the state even to keep all the public utilities running, to say nothing of factories. During the first 12 days of this month only 636 cars of bituninous coal have come into Connecticut through May brook. Our latest call for help has come from the Norwich Gas & Electric Co.,, which reports less than a A hour supply On hand. Coal for that plant has been ordered from Harlem River. And that's only a sample of what we are up against every day"

WILSON ORDERS PROBE OF HOG
 ISLAND SCRAP

Washington, Feb. 14-President Wilson today directed Attorney Gen. eral Gregory to investigate the much discussed Hog Island ship yard con tracts, which have been adverseE criticised before the senate com merce committee, and determine whether there has been any crlmlnal misuse of government funds.
 The president also directed the at- torney general to work in conjunction with Chairman Hurley of the snip ping board in his investigation. ADoul 1 SAP, 100000 of government money has been involved in the Hog Island pro- ject, in which the American lnterna- tiona1 corporation, headed by Frank A. Vanderlip, president Of the Ma ! tionaI City Bank, has figured. The Hog Island ship yard on the Delaware river near Philadelphla, IS | planned to be the greatest in the country, with more than 50 ways ln which to lay down ships.
 | The American International Co.,, through it's subsidiary corporation, the American International Ship Building Co.,, has contracts for it's construction and for ship building there, from the emergency fleet cor poration, acting for the United States shipping board.
 One of the principal points of at tack on the International Ship Build ing Co. in the senate committees in- vestigation has been that by it's con- tract with the emergency fleet cor q 6- OO0, 900 for the 'Hknow how of build ing the ship yard and getting out the ships.
 MT. Vanderlfp's name was brought into the investigation as being pres1- dent of the mother corporation anc as having cosrntersigned the con- tracts.
 It has developed among othe1 things at the senate committees hear ing that Col. Black of Philadelphia
 one of the former owners of Hog Is
 land, got $2,0OO an acre for his prop
 erty, whereas a year ago he held al option on Hog Island at $1,000 al
 acre.
 Investigation by the department O. justice was recommended by Chair
 man Hurley of the shipping board
 who asked that an assistant to tn, ] attorney general be sent to Hog Is
 land to work with Assistant Genera Manager BowIes of the emergenc.
 fleet corporation. MT. BoWles wa
 put in active charge of the yard re
 gently.
 MT. Bowles has been directed b. Chairman Hurley to put the Hog Is
 land yard on an economic basis. Ship ping board officials are of the opinion that there has been nothing worse a Hog Island than inefficient manage
 ment and a reckless spending o funds, but they want to ascertain al the facts.
 Philadelphia, Feb. 14-Officials o 1 the American Ship Building Co.,, de
 clared today that they would welcom
 the investigation which Presiden Wilson has directed the attorney gen 2 era1 to conduct, in conjunction witt
 Chairman Hurley of the United State
 shipping board, into the ship yard o ] the company under construction O. ! Hog Island, on a Delaware river. a Although the Shipping Board ha no facts to indicate that there ha < been criminal dereliction, it wants t a ascertain the true situation and lear
 just how money put up by the govern H ment has been spent.

How good it has been to feel the warm sunshine; and to see the and ice melting to watch the beauteous Spring hats come cheerily forward. What delightful hats they are, to be sure. Did you straw and satin and Georgette crepe and such other materials combined to pretier effect? Did you see hats with more grace and more diver sity?
 How attractive those bright blues and rose tints; those sand shades and quiet browns!
 Did you not really feel the alert military spirit of those hats that make you think of marching solders And how little priced some of them are some that are seemingly of greatest charm!
