ITALY NEEDS COAL.
Ministry Trying to Get Russian Coal
to Avoid Heatless Winter.

Rome, Aug. 2O.--The Italian govern
mcnt is trying to obtain coal from
southern Russia so as 10 stave OFF the
menace of a winter without source
of heat. Two commercial commissions
have been sent 10 the vast basin OF the
Donetz in southern Russia where ltal-
ian experts estimated there were un-
touched coal lands that would yield
81, O0O. 0O0, 900 of tons. fhe experts also
say there are ia 000,0OO,000 Of tons of
coal in Siberia or in parts of European
Russia outside of the Donetz basin.
II is calculated that If the coal sup
ply Of southern Russia were properly
exploited the territory would furnish
all the coal necessary for the Mediter-
ranean countries,
Coal for Italy is now quoted at $3.50
at Norfolk Va, but it costs $50 a ton

My correspondent neglected to say

this is n very important point, in
respect to table linen. Therefore !

In regard to sheets. one must take

wide enough for comfort. Sheets for

are seldom cut on a thread.
Linen and cotton tubing for pillow
cases may be bought by the yard and
hemstitched either by hand or at
one of the little shops so numerous
nowadays where, hemstitching is
done along with other fancy stitching
and embroidery.
Table linens should be chosen by
weight as well as by fineness OF thread.
Irish linen is the ideal choice for conf

linen is also very fine, and less ex-

Table cloths may be purchased by

Agents Of Local Firms

Chicago. Sept. 13.-Sale OF govern
ment foodstuffs at 80 per cent profit
and the use of furniture warehouses
for the storage of foods In Chicago
were the two subjects taken up yes
terday afternoon by Russell J. Poole,
Mayor Thonlpson's food director. and
his advisory commission Of citizens.
ar. Poole's statement at the open
ing of the meeting was significant.
He declared that the new city food
bureau does not intend to shoot in
the air Then, he turned 10 City

Representatives Of Sprague Warner

les were sworn and questioned by At

MulvIhill.
George W. Broadway buyer and
manager for Reid. Murdoch &. Co.. was
first on the witness stand. He said
that his firm purchased I34,749 cans
of cut string beans from the govern
naent for cents a can or s1.0S a case.
They sold them to various retailers for
si35 q case.
Among other statements Nv Mr..
Broadway was one that the law Of
supply and demand is now hard at
work in the canned goods trade Five
minutes later. however, he admitted
that his firm IS sometimes obliged to
contract for canned goods before the
years crop is even planted
Richard Walsh. representing Durand
e. Kasper. said his firm bought 2S.195
cans of beans at 81 case from the
government and sold them at s1.35.
what do you figure Is a fair profit
for your firm in canned goods" asked
Attorney Mulvihill.
From 10 to Is per cent" was the
answer.
But this Is 80 per cent" declared
the attorncy In other words, you
so handled these goods that the gov
ernments generosity resulted in a ben
eft 90 you instead of the consumer,
didn't you? The dear public didn't
benefit, did they?"
well, you see, we mixed the gov
eminent food in with higher priced
brands and sold 1t all for s1.35. By
doing so we made a popular seller,
as the retail man could sell the beans
two cans for quarter"
you made the public pay a fancy
price for government food because 1T
was mixed with fancy goods?"
mo, we reduced the price of the
better brands. You see. the govern
ment taught US to do that under the
food administration"
