COAL REMAINS SCARCE.
One Carload Released to Dealers Today
And One to Power Company.

The coal situation in Mexico is little
improved and, despite the fact that one
car was released to one of the local
dealers today, the committee on issu-
ing permits has been forced to deny
coal to some people who are out, but
who have other fuel available. There
are so many people, according to E. S.
Wilson, who can get nothing else TO
burn and who are running completely
out of coal, that those who can get
wood to burn will have to use it, until
the situation is relieved some.
The Power Company also had cal
of coal released today, and with that
the company can run under its conser-
walton schedule until the first Of next
week. The company has hopes of be-
ing taken care of by the administra.
ton, but only if the people of Mexico
show willingness to cooperate in a
system of conservation, according Ia
E. R. Locke. 1t is absolutely necessary
Ito keep enough coal in reserve to take
care of the town in case of fire, and
for that reason the company can not
use it's coal up to the last ton.

INCREASE IN RATES
AND CUT IN SIZE OF
NEWSPAPERS ADVISED
Publishers Committee Also Advocates
Only Monthly or Quarterly Ad-
vertising Contracts.

NEW YORK, November 13.-Ma-
terial increases in advertising and sub
scription rates, limitation of the size
of newspapers and provisions in ad-
vcrtising contracts whereby rates can
be adjusted monthly on quarterly,
were among the recommendations
made Wednesday by special conven-
ton of the American Newspaper Pub
lishers' Association, called to consider
the news print shortage.
The report of the Resolution Com
mittee, adopted unanimously, follows:
Paper manufacturers have told US
that there is worldwide shortage
of paper. At the present rate of con-
sumption the newspapers are using
about 10 per cent more paper than is
being produced. This means an an
nual shortage on the present basis CT
approximately 100000 tons. Your
committee, therefore, recommends:
That the regulations of the War III
dustries Board for the conservation of
news print be strictly adhered to, and
that the full text of all these regula-
tions be sent to all the daily and Sun
day newspapers of the United States,
whether or not they are members OF
this body.
Rate Increase Advocated.
That publishers everywhere be urg-
ed to materially increase advertising
and subscription rates and at the
same time limit the size of their IS
sues.
/ That no newspaper enter into a
vearly contract for advertising at a
ixcd rate. but make rates adjustable
monthly or quarterly.
That the American Newspaper Pub,
shcrs' Association send out a stand
and form of adjustable contracts TO!
advertising.
That the Paper Committee strongly
discourage the boarding of prin'
apcr,
That the White Paper Committed
md the Legislative Committee on tn'
american Newspaper Publishers AS
,ociaton urge the enactment OF sue!
-gislation as will permit the develop

Gated her three children; and now this
woman faces the problem, perplexing
morally and legally, of possessing two
husbands.
An instance similar to this is given
in the new William Fox play, Rose
of the West" in which Madeline Ira
verse is called on to portray the emo
tons of wife whose brutal husband
has left her, and been reported dead
and she is about to marry onother
man when the husband returns.
Just how a woman would act under
such circumstances, what emotions
would take possession Of her, is hard
to say; but it is certain that Miss
Traverse gives her Interpretation of

MURRETTE.
When Fauvette Wesley, wife of Mar
tin Wesley, a Boston lawyer, found
the hearts Of her husbands parents
closed to because she was Pari-
sienne and therefore unquestionably a
girl with "a past" she bravely decided
to make her own living in new and
more congenial environment. She be-
came a successful novelist and later
won back the love of her husband, of
which she had been deprived for a
time by his Puritanical parents.
This is the character essayed by
Elsie Ferguson in her latest Aircraft
photoplay, His Partisan Wife, which
will be shown at the Murrette theatre
next Wednesday and Thursday. 1t is
q forceful characterization which in
Miss Ferguson's capable hands, rises
to new heights of dignity and strength.
| The story is a powerfully dramatic
one and its heart appeal is said to be
irresistible. Miss Ferguson is excel

One of the most beautiful spots in
Hollywood is Miss Mason's little bun

and her sister Viola Dane, Miss Ma

The Rescuing Angel is a picture
based on a story which is particularly
suited to Miss Mason's talents and her
work is exceptional throughout. Wal
ter Edwards directed and James c.
Van Trees did the camera work. The
scenario was written by Edith Ken

by Clare Hummer The supporting
cast include Forrest Stanley, Arthur

came a director for Paramount. Mr..
Crisp played important roles, usually
heavies, for several years, working
in some of the best productions Of
his time. Every once in a while he
again gets the fever and at times he
can hardly withstand the temptation
to quit the directors chair and put on
the grease paint.
Something To Do" is speedy,
highly entertaining comedy-drama,
showing Bryant Washburn at his best.
Supporting the star are Ann Little, Rob-
ert Brewer, Chas. Gerard, Adele Far

all of whom are we'll known for their

A delicate and delightful love story
is contained in William Gillette's dra-
ma, Secret Service" scenarized by
Beulah Marie Dix, directed by Hugh
Ford and released as a Paramount
AIRCRAFT special picture. 1t will be
seen at the Murrette theatre Mon
day and Tuesday and will repay a
visit to the show house, because 1t
remains one of the most striking dra-
mas ever written and in screen form
should duplicate the success of its
stage career. Major Robert War
wick is cast for the role made famous
by the author.
The love element is character
lied by that charming chivalry and
beauty of the old South There
never has been a period in the his
tory of America when men were
more chivalrous or women more
delicately charming; nor place, per-
haps, where these qualities were more
in evidence than in the states below
