Coal Cut Off From Stores
to Supply Phila. Homes

Philadelphia, Feb. 1.-THE coal
situation has now reached the point
where stores must go heatless II
homes are to be warm.
As the outcome of a conference
of fuel heads in the office of William
Potter, state administrator, yester-
day, it was decided to stop stores
from getting coal, except that the
needs of householders were satisfied
first.
Dealers will be notified by Francis
A. Lewis to-day. Mr.. Lewis will meet
dealers in all parts of the city for
the remainder of the week and give
them specific orders that they will be
held to the ruling that homes come
first.
AS the rule was interpreted yes
terday, each dealer must see that
every family customer on his books
has coal before he can deliver one
pound to a store. Regardless of how
many stores may be forced to close,
the fuel administration has made up
lbs mind that its first duty is to keen
householders from freezing.
Food Stores Exempted
Restaurants are exempted. Hotels
also. Grocery stores. delicatessen,
produce sstores-every type of store
classed under the Federal heading of
food stores will receive fuel. Food
stores are to be accepted on an
equal footing with homes. Further
than this coal will be denied.

HIGH SCHOOLS
MUST PAY TAX:
OFFICIAL RULING

The athletic associations of Cen
trail and Technical High schools will
in all probability be compelled to
give up 1914 of their receipts from
the Thanksgiving game to the cof-
fers of Uncle Sam. because of the
recent ruling relative to turning over
ten per cent. of the receipts from all
amusements. A recent decision af-
fecting the University of Pennsyl-
vania makes it compulsory on the
part of that institution to give one
tenth of the receipts of the athletic
association to the government. This
is in addition to the tax imposed on
admission last fall and up to date.
This will apply to all the colleges
and the high schools will likely come
under the same ruling.
While the athletic associations are
parts of the high school, and come
under their management, not all of
the student body at either of the
High schools are members of the
body A nominal fee is charged
for membership, which admits hold
er to vote for all the managerships.
Any student who does not turn over
the fee is Ineligible for q position as
a manager, nor does he or she have
Il vote. Internal Revenue Collector
Davis has sent the following let

showing as they have played several

ed from the snowbound land and who
seemed the most likely title winner

fore the unconquered woman from her
own native land.
Mrs. Rogge, who plays the same
typical Norwegian style of tennis
proved no match for Miss Bjurstedt
and lost two straight sets. 60, 6-1.

STEELTON STRONG
FOR TECH TEAM
Old-Time Rivals Meet on Fell
ton Hall Floor Tomor-
row Night

With seven out of eight victories
to their credit. Tech High School
basketball squad held another prac-
tice yesterday evening in preparation
for the big contest at Steelton to-
morrow evening. Tech is preparing
to take a record crowd to FELTON,
Hail. The Maroons have a hard
row to hoe for several weeks, as all
games will be away. from home.
Techs defense is one of the strong
points of the team that Coach Mil
Ter has been working on. The
guards have scored almost as many
field goals as have the visiting for
wards. On the Tech team are Wills
bach, Lingle, Beck and Smith, all
members of the sophomore class.
while Kohlman is a first year lad. If
Tech can develop a winner this sea-
son, it means a championship team
for several years to come.
Changes in Schedule
The contest that was originally
scheduled at York next Tuesday
night has been postponed until March
19. During the next ten days Tech
will have to keep up it's whirlwind
pace il it desires to keep at the
top of the ladder. The team lacked
a good foul tosser, but that defect
has been remedied with the sddi-
ton of "Goldie" Huston. At last
100 Tech rooters will accompany the
team Friday night.
Next week Tech plays Reading and
Allentown, and will be away from
home for two days.

ter to Deputy Collector Vollmer rela-
tive to the matter.
Collector Gives Opinion
Replying to your letter of the
twenty-first instant, relative to the
tax on admissions imposed by the
act of October 8, 1917, you are ad-
vised that T d 2,577 seems to cover
the case of a public school as well
as a college, and where 1t is shown
that all of the proceeds inure ex-
clusively to the benefit of the school
or college, no tax is imposed.
The tax is imposed where the
proceeds in whole or in part are re-
tanned by a class. society or athletic
team of the school or college.
while it is true that a state in
stitution is not taxable, IL is the
opinion of this office that a class,
society or athletic club of public
school, acting independently of the
school, holding a dance or entertain
ment to which an admission is
charged and retained, the proceeds
are subject to the tax on admissions
imposed by tine act of October 3,
1917.
For example, the senior class of
the Millersburg State Normal school,
a state institution, held an entertain
ment, all the proceeds of which were
retained by the senior class, the tax
was imposed"
