Railroads Plan to Burn
Oil on Locomotives

II the strike of the coal miners
should be sufficiently protractcd to
reduce seriously the available sup
ply of fuel, a large number of To-
comotives could be converted to
burn oil instead of coal on fairly
short notice, according to infor-
nation gathered by the mechanical
department of the railroad admins
tration. Without expecting that
such a contingency should arise, an
investigation has been made of the
possibilities, which shows that u
locomotive could be converted to an
oil burner in about ten days in any
of the principal shops of the rail-
roads or the locomotive companies,
and that about 250 could he con-
Nerted per week. 1t would also be
possible to obtain the use of about
LOO tank ears which were used
by the ordnance department of the
army, of 1000 gallons capacity.
which could readily be converted for
use in transporting an oil supply.

A Simple Way to
Reduce Wrinkles

Remember that wrinkles and bag
glness of cheek or chin are due to
the muscular tissue losing its
strength and shrinking. The skin
is then too large in area to fit such
tissue smoothly. 1t wrinkles or
says.
To remedy this condition, there's
nothing so effective. so quick acting,
as a simple wash lotion easily made
at home. Just get an ounce of pure
powdered saXolite from your drug
gist and q half pint of witch hazel.
mix the two and bathe your face in
the liquid. This at once tightcns the
ski and solidities the underlying tis-
sue--which, of course. smooths out
the lines and draws in the sagginS
skin 1t olso stimulates capillary cir

burgh district is steadily decreasing,
and unless there is an end to the
strike of union miners very soon it
will be necessary for some mills to
close.
Supplies Decrease Rapidly
This statement is made by officials
connected with the Federal fuel ad-
ministration.
Along the lines of the Pennsyl-
vania lines west of Pittsburgh there
is very little, if any, production of
coal" said an official. There is a
stored supply of about thirty days
at the present rate of consumption,
but if the government enforces pri-
ority orders which will result in the
closing of nonessential industrials
that supply will be stretched out
several weeks. We will gain through
the shutting off of freight trains re-
quired to move the product of such
industries, as well us through the
accumulation of coal they would use
if in operation"
1t was said that on the Pennsyl-
vania lines east of Pittsburgh coal

fields. was about fifty per cent. of
normal, with about the same pro-
duction along the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad.
Sharon Mill Has No Coal
To. the present not an industry
has been shut down in Pittsburgh
for lack of coal, but from points
nearby come reports of fuel short
age. One big mill at Sharon. Pa,
was said to be without coal. Plants
of the United States Steel Corpo-
ration, however. were reported as
being able to operate for weeks TO
come.
The first attempt to evade the
restrictions was discovered
when workmen at the Conway yards
of the Pittsburgh. Fort Wayne and
Chicago Railroad. near here, dis
covered a car of coal covered with
about one foot of coke, bound for
the west. The shipper explained
n mistake had been made" and no
further action was taken.
