Sport in Haiti.

"RoOSters that crow night and day and have no sense of proportion at all. !" Is the way William Almon Wolff de- scribes Haiti's only fowl of any im- pOrtance, in an article in Golfers. In addition he accuses them of not being educated, Hike the mass of the popu- lation," and of being ignorant of the fact that cocks business is to let an unobservant world which wouldn't notice the phenomenon itself, know that the sun has risen" "When 1t comes to cock fighting in Haiti," MT, Wolff writes, "the rooster plays a very important role. Sunday afternoon Is the great time for that" he says, land all day Sunday you may see sporting Haitians going about with a gamecock or two under their arms. There are two rings in Port au Prince; thousands of men gather there every Sunday af- ternOon and bet on their favorites Haitian cockfighting Is not a very bru- tai affair; the birds aren't spurred. It Is the custom for the owner of the los ing rooster to cry quits before much damage Is done."

Washington. Dec. 1.-The pinch Of
the coal shortage promises to force the
adoption of drastic measures to avert
an actual famine. A vacation Of a
month by the soft coal miners has
brought on conditions like those pre-
vailing during the war in many sec.

not altogether checked the drain on
coal piles.

cient to permit the maintenance of

pervision of the railroad administra-
TONS central coal committee. The
latest authentic figures show that
last weeks soft coal output did not
reach so per cent Of normal produc-
ton. This meant, officials explained.
that local needs must he met from the
supplies being distributed through
the central committee. whose stocks
aggregated about 22.OO0.OOO tons
when the miners quit work. No fig.
ures were available as to the exact
amount of coal now on hand.
While regional coal committees
acting under instructions from Wash
ington have been dealing out coal
sparingly. further and more drastic
restrictions have been agreed on by
the central committee. They will be
put into effect whenever the regional
committees are unable to meet the sit
uation with local regulations.
Details have not been made public
but it is known that the plan provides
for tremendous reduction in soft
coal consumption.

Married last Tuesday at the home of

groom presented a lovely appearance
as they plighted their vows. The fact
is that Mary wore dress made out
of one of her mothers because the old
man was too stingy to buy her new
one. Jack looked p1 city good-for
him. He is neither Industrious nor
honest as he always lays in bed and
lets his old mother build the fires and
chop the wood but we hope he will do
better especially since Mary has got
him. Mary would be pretty if it
wasn't for her face. She is not &C

her characterized the less said about
it the better. We hope she goes right
from now on. The young couple will
