COAL MORE PLENTIFUL.

Philadelphia, Jan. 25-The coal market for all but stove and nut sizes is now wide open and anthracite may be shipped all over the country.
 Coal conservation campaign, the armistice and the continued mild weather have greatly ameliorated the fuel situation. As result. the Anthracite Committee of the United States Fuel Administration now per mits hard coal users all over the country to obtain without restriction all sizes, except stove and nut, even in the states barred since last May to hard coal
 Officials say the buying of broken egg, pea and buckWheat by the house holder will do much toward bringing back the coal demand for these sizes to pre-war conditions. Consumers, according to the officials, can now be s2Hplied with all the domestic hard ceel sizes they need with the excep- tion of nut and stove, on which the Anthracite Committees embargo still holds The ruling just made avoids the danger of a recurrence in any section of the country of the condi- ticns which prevailed last winter. Fuel administrators generally have expressed themselves as being satis- fed with the situation as it now exists in the various states.

THE HAIRPIN

Womans crowning glory! What would it be without me? l am ca rcssed by the fingers of the most beautiful of women. Yet, lost and strayed, you will find me by the streets, kicked into the gutter, swept up with the dirt in hotels, theatres and cinema shows-scOrned because have fallen from crowning glory to lowly foot through careless woman, and because a copper or two will purchase dozens more like me.
 Merely q bit of bent wire, Yet mill Hons have been employed to make and sell me. I will not trouble you with my birth, but will pass on from the digging of the ore to the melt ing, refining moulding, pulling and cutting, when I reach the infant stage-the rod stage-when the wire maker wants me. But 1t all means labor-the labor of thousands and scores of processes.
 I am now a rod of steel, half an inch in diameter. Over and over again 1 am rolled until I am the thickness of a leadpencil. Wound in coils l am cleaned and treated to R coating of milk of lime, 50 that I look as if I had been whitewashed Then I am baked, to give me more stability. And then comes the pull ing.
 Time after time I am passed through dies, pulled finer and finer cleaned again and again, heated cooled and galvanized. Not until then-until the hairpin manufacturer seizes me as his raw materials there a suggestion Of a hairpin. Then I actually begin to grow.
 Millions have been spent on in venting machinery which now takes a length of pre- pared wire and in thu twinkling of an eye cuts, bends, and twists it into a hairpin. That, how ever, is only the beginning of my growth. I must then be put through the finishing stages, japanned anC baked again, and finally thouandl of girls wrap me in papers or pacl i me in boxes ready for the shops where thousands of other girls seI me.
 Merely a bit of bent wire. Mil i lions are spent on producing me, anC vet my end is-the gutter and tht l dirt. Such is woman's wrste.
