COAL HOGS"
 REsOURCEFUL
Many Tricks Resorted to in Cities to Beat Dispensers of Fuel
 to Consumers

Some of tho Federal Fuel Admin lstration8 field agents while they arc busy with thc serious worl, in tho.r various fields have noted some murIy humorous happenings One field agent tells of Newark CN.JJ retailer who has been supplying his regular customers with small lots of coal and hc has declined all new business customers unless there was sickness in thc family. He was ap- pcalcd Co by a prospective customer who demonstrated that his was @ ca.a of dire need by wheeling mp a dcIiDatc-looking baby accompanied by pale wife, to the coal yard. Tho coal hc SO earnestly sought was delivered and then it was discov- cred that Che new customer had bor- rowcd thc baby
 In the same town there was a icweler who took a few days on from his regular employment and got job driving coal cart for a local dealer Ills first trip out was with two tons of coal This he promptly dumped into his own cellar and then resigned, saying that the work was too hard for him.
 Another shrcwd case camc before one of che Pennsylvania county fuel administrators, whose directions are that the dealers shall deliver only one ton and haIf-tou lots, and no coal is Co be delivered where the prospective customer has a two weeks supply.
 10 was discovered that one man had two cellars connected by long tunnel He was ordering half-tons and carrying Che coal from one cel- l. lar to thc other. By the time his scheme was mcorthcd he had uccu- muiatcd four tons. but hc was still out after more coal. Tho dealer he applied Co sent him Co Che fuel ad- miuIstrator. where hc made affidavit that be had no coal at all The next step was am indictment for perjury Che ease being booked for Che next court In addition tho offender was made Co take his little bucket and carry three and a half tons of his ul-gottcn coal to tho sidewalk and thence load it onto a coal cart.

Sprint Down
Home Stretch

Chasing an auto thief who almost
got away with his brothers car gave
R. M. Marrs, new principal of the
South High school, several thrills a
while ago in Lincoln. Mars and his
brother, after going downtown, and
separating on business errands, in
tended to meet at a certain rendez-
vous on O street where Mars
brothers auto was parked.
After completing his business,
Mars walked down 'the street and
noticed that someone was attempting
to crank his brothers car which was
standing two blocks away. Approach
ing nearer the man bending over the
crank appeared to be a stranger to
South Highs new principal who
straightaway broke into a run. The
person tampering with the auto, who,
upon closer observation, was seen to
be young boy in suit of mechanics
overalls, was unaware OF the ap-
preaching danger and calmly con-
tinued to try to pursuade the drowsy
engine to begin operations.
When wheeze and chug showed
that it was coming to life, the youth
began climbing inside, but Mars was
almost upon him. In an instant the
boy ducked and ran before pedes-
trians in the vicinity knew what was
happening.
After a brief deliberation whether
to give chase afoot or in the auto,
Marrs chose the former method and
ran after the would-be-thief in style
that won him medals while in his first
year of high school. With a two
block lead the auto rustler soon
gained the lumber yards by the rail-
road where he disappeared to be seen
no more by his pursuer.
Marrs maintains that he will always
regret that brief moment of hesita-
ton which deprived him of capturing
really truly desperate stealer of
gas horses.

city, but it was all fields and pasture
then.
Mr.. Greenhagen found plenty Of
work and the little family prospered.
1t not only prospered, tut it grew.
year by year seeing another fat and
healthy baby added to the number.
until there were IL to care for.
Before the babies had all come, the
reaction from the boom days set in.
There was no building and Mr.. Green
hagen could find no work to do.
Added to that, he fell ill. With sick
husband, a big family, OF children to
care for, an enormous truck garden
on which the living depended and
another little one soon to come, Mrs.
Greenhagen was in despair. "Ask
the county for help" counseled the
neighbors. But no. "Never has the
county helped me-" declared the little
5womaL~ "and never will it have to
help me while l can work at all"
Somehow she managed to pull
through with the assistance of good
neighbors and sympathetic country
men, who gave her a lift with the
work now and then. Better times
came, the husband got well, and the
children soon were old enough to
help. .
Now all the Ichildren are gone.
Most of them are married and have
FIVE, six and eight children them
selves. Mr.. Greenhagen is old and
can not work as he used to. The
garden yields as of old under. the
skillful care of its owners, but Louis
who used to drive the wagon and sell
the vegetables, is gone and his old
mother does his work, driving each
morning from place to place where
the vegetables are wanted.

Metcalfe as
Life Saver

81 was IA years old when it hap
pened," stated James W. Metcalfe,
when he related the thrill of his life.
He averred that he has had other
thrilling experiences, but this one
stands out on the tablet OF his men,
ory in strong bas relief.
Mr.. Metealfe lived in St. Louis dur
ing his boyhood and was considered
an expert swimmer. He swan
across the Mississippi river several
times and then back again and other
wise, made a record as an Aquatic
devotee.
One day he took neighbor boy
with him to a private natatorium and
promised to be responsible for the
safety of the lad who did not know
how to swim. He left the boy in
shallow water while he disported in
the deeper parts OF the pool. Sud-
denly he observed the companion
