ITALY LOOKING To
RUSSIA FOR COAL

Rome, Aug. 20.-The Italian Gov
eminent is trying to obtain coal from
Southern Russia so as TO staye off the
menace of a winter without source
of heat. Two commercial commits
sions have been sent to the vast basin
of the Donetz, in Southern Russia,
where Italian experts estimated there
were untouched coal lands that would
yield $1,000, 100000 of tons. The ex-
perts also say there are 174.G00, o00,-
600 of tons of coal in Siberia or in
parts of European Russia outside of
the ,lonetz ba IL.
It 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 il cost $50 a ton
to bring it TO Genoa.

COblenz, Aug. 25.-Hand grenades

stores which were known to have
charged high prices.
In the interior of Germany margar-

attributed to the fact that large guam

When her "Sweetie" returned home,

her excitement.
Then when "Sweetie' was nearly
killed in an accident, the "Kid. tried
to cheer him up with her jazzy little
tune. Sweet Cookie Mine. she
started to MARBLE. then collapsed on
the floor of the hospital.
The Jazz Kid" is character that

They were moved to this drastic
pruning process because dancing was
getting into such a state that the an
tijoy societies were beginning to ban
ish tobacco and park spooning and
were becoming interested in the dance
halls-from the reform point of view,
of course.
After the overhauling, reforming and
cutting out was all finished there re-
NAMED only that which could survive
the simple test of gracefulness and
propriety, which indicates a drastic
change indeed.
Here is what the new dances are:
The one-step.
The foxtrot, with a simple tango
step added.
The waltz.
