Chicago, Nov. 2S.-Bituminous coal
consumers of the middle west today
started tearing down the coal bin to
use it for fuel.
With the first real snow storm of
the year covering central western
states. many reports were received of
buildings to use the lumber for stove
wood.
Piles of screenings and other low
grade fuel which has accumulated for
years in yards of coal dealers was
gra. bed up by manufacturing plants,
in a last effort to keep up normal
operation. Many plants were already
closed down.
Schools in Kansas City and other
places were closed indefinitely. Thea
ters and amusements have also been
banned in several sections where the
fuel situation is particularly acute.
Industrial plants shut down from
Wednesday night until Monday morn
ing in several cities to conserve the
rapidly dwindling supply of coal. Train
service was cut to the minimum.
Chicago Plants Close.
One of the leading Chicago manu-
facturers predicted today the majority
of the industries of this city would be
closed down in another week if the
strike is not settled.
With no prospect of an immediate
resumption of production in sight and
no indication of what the next step by
the government toward providing fuel
would be, following breaking off of
the miners-operators' negotiations at
Washington, efforts of the governor
of Kansas to obtain volunteers to mine

Attorney General Brown has been
requested by Charles w. English, sec
retary of the Better Business bureau

According to the letter from English
which is backed up by numerous other
letters from poultrymen from various
sections of the state, representatives OF
the State Poultry association have been
calling on poultrymen leaving with
them the impression that the associa-
ton was a cooperative organization
offering advice on the care of poultry
and selling a sheep dip as poultry
disinfectant and remedy for from $1l
to $50 gallon.
According to a letter from Charles
S. Brewster, assistant professor in pou
try husbandry at o. A. c., an analysis

AUTOMATIC PHONE

UPHELD IN OPINION

Although the physical connection
between the manual and automatic tele
phone systems in Portland has been
completed patrons of the old Home
Telephone company are entitled to
service at the rate charged by that
company at the time of its absorption
by the Pacific company until complete
directories and any other accommoda-
tions necessary to permit them the full

system has been provided. :.
Thus F. G. Buchtel, chairman of
the public service commission, in a
letter directed to James T. Shaw, at
torney for the Pacific Telephone &
Telegraph company at Portland, to-
day, puts a temporary halt to any in
crease in rates contemplated on the
part of the Pacific company to its
newly acquired patrons
In the event a patron of the old
Home company desired to change from
o single party linS to multi-party line
the company is required to make the
requested change, or in the event OF
inability to comply Herewith because
of lack of equipment of facilities, must
at least grant the subscriber the bene-
fit of the rate for the service requested
although still continuing on the mar
line service, the letter directs.

Vast Number Of Motor Vehicles

Those who are familiar with the great achievements credited to motor vehicles during the war. both in busi- ness over here and in the fighting over there," says Bert O.

But to those who are less fanil- jar with these records, it may be sur prising to learn that at' the present time in the United States there are over 500,000 motor trucks in active service.

SEE AMERICA FIRST
 SLOGAN |S REVIVED
By G. w. Morrison

Many Americans who have been looking forward to a trip to Europe to see the battlefields "before they get strengthened out" will be disappointed The unsettled conditions abroad do not promise much comfort or pleasure from such q jaunt even if passport difficulties and other such trifes as steamship accommodations did not cX- ist. So the slogan 'see America first which was started before the war for the purpose of diverting some of the millions of dollars yearly and increas- ingly spent by shiploads of Americans IS likely to have more effect this year and automobiling via the Lincoln high way is likely to become the fad of the season.
 In preparing for this trip automobil- ists must look well to their ignition. The electric system of the car should be thoroughly overhauled. If battery ignition is used it is advisable to be doubly careful as it would be very un- pleasant to be stalled miles away from any service station, perhaps while crossing the desert where it is very dry or even in some of the swampy districts of the south where the wet ness might not be welcome either re- Gardless of the expense.
 All maps should be carefully studied and clearly marked to show all ser vice stations where the batteries can be repenished and put right. In some parts of the south, among the Rocky Mountains, on the Texas plains, over the beautiful Apache Trail and in some parts of the Arizona desert service sta uons are not very close together when needed nor is camping out always an unmixed joy
 If battery is used don't forget to put water in it every week. Don't use any thing but distilled water Don't let the electrolyte spill on top of battery. Don't have an open flame in the same room with a charging battery or an open battery. Don't permit battery to s,and without a charge Don't anJn sediment To collect in the cells. Don't fail 10 keep the terminals tight Don't connect terminals to the wrong poles. Don't let terminals come in cantac, with battery box. Don't forget to test with a hydrometer at least once a week. Don't let your battery become ovcrcharged. Don't permit plates to become buckled by lack of water Don't forget 10 turn off your ignition and light switches when you stop your en- zine or your battery may run out.
 Of course, if the car is equipped with magneto ignition it is only nee essary to sec that the contact points are clean and a drop of oil put in the bearings once in a while then there will be no fear of being stalled any where because of ignition troubles Where the country is hilly and the roads rough magneto ignition can al- ways be relied upon to give the en- zine it's full power and better mileage 10 the gallon of gasoline.
