Writing for the Sunday Sun, under

Under a caption Band Plays Old

Foster didn't have to let himself out
over here TO earn such deep admira-

OF cymbals with the other TO gather as
admiring a crowd of aproned and
skirted French boys and girls as
"Charlo" (French for Charlie Chap

"The band played a ragtime one
step, full of the weird, close harmonies
that the French delight in as some
thing distinctively American, and the
lads from home gave them their
worth. Some Of them paired
off, grabbed each other around the
waist, and performed the cow-like jog

NEW BRAND OF
GERMAN PROPAGANDA

A new brand of German propaganda
has come to light.
1t is directed against the automo-
bile industry. A number of alarm
ing and malicious stories have broken
more of the large cities. The purpose
of all of these has been the same, and
that is to alarm the motoring public
the future of the motor car.
One story that has been industri-
ously circulated was that there would
be serious shortage of tires as a re-
suit of the embargo on crude rubber.
That this report is unfounded is
proved by the following information
offered by the B. F. Goodrich Rub
Der Company, backed up by Great
Britain, Uncle Sam has promised the
rubber trade in America 100000 tons
of overseas" rubber this year. Last
year American manufacturers used
81 900 tons above 100000 1t is esti-
mated the reserve stock on hand in
America, the first of the year amount
ed to $4,000 tons, so added to the 100,-
600 tons guaranteed her America is
really bCAiCA DAS0 AAOM N4A1A last Ce1A .
Another Hun lie was to the effect
that, beginning July 1, to save gaso-
line the government would order the
discontinuance of passenger cars on
Sunday for a period of twelve con-
tinuous Sundays. There is no short
age of gasoline yet in this country,
and the government so far as is known
is not contemplating any action of an
alarming nature along this line.
Probably the most harmful propa-
ganda now in circular is; Keep the
heavy trucks off the highways; they
are destroying them" This story
spread so quickly and so widely in one
Eastern State that the State Legisla-
ture actually almost passed a law
forbidding heavy trucks on its high
ways. and probably would have done
so but for the vigilance of motor
truck owners.
To say that roads are bad because
motor trucks have been passing over
them is simply a confession that the
roads are not properly built and main
tanned In a survey recently COM
H&GNCO ny tiAO 0OONA I'LL ANdNAOAdA AO0A
ing Bureau it was found that it is pos
sible to build roads which will stand
up under the heaviest motor traffic.
Such roads exist today and have for
several years in the State of Con-
necticut.

ample for the rest of the States. She
not only has excellent highways

TONS PUT IN
CELLARS SINCE APRIL

More domestic anthracite is now
in consumers possession than ever
before at this time of the year.
During the four months, just end
ed, far more anthracite was delivered
to the ultimate consumers than ever
before in the same period. Day by
day. week by week, since April 1st,
the coal has been mined and pre-
pared in the largest quantity possible
with the greatly reduced labor power.
In all. above 26,000,000 tons have been
produced and, as fast as it has been,
the coal has passed forward and into
the actual possession of those who
use it.
With a third of the coal year be-
hind some 17,25O,000 tons of an
thracite of the domestic sizes have
been actually delivered to household
ers and other consumers. They are
numbered by millions. They live in
far-fiung territory embracing "a
States and eastern Canada. Thus has
the anthracite industry been perform
ing. A great task has been so far
successfully accomplished.
1t has been possible to do what has
been done only because of the large
advance development of the anthracite
industry; its highly efficient organiza-
ton and the complete coordination
of its activities which were volun-
tarily arranged as an important war
time measure. The whole work has
