COAL SITUATION IS
 STILL CRITICAL HERE
Connecticut Manufacturers Are Urged to Use Anthracite Coal at

E. Kent Hubbard, president: of the Manufacturers asSOCia ton of Con necticur has sent to all the members of the aSsOcia ton the circular regard ing the shortage of soft coal in New EnSlanu sent out by Fuel Adminis- trator Thomas ". Russell of Hartford a few days ago.
 The circular regards the nSubstitu- tion of steam sizes of anthra cite in place Of btuminous coal. The basis for the substitution is the fact that though the coal strike has been called off, not d pound of coal has been started for New England. The anthra- cite mines are nearer New, England than arc the soft coal mines and therefore an advantage lies in the use of steam sizes of anthracite wherever it is possible. The fact that soft coal has not been started in the direction of New England may cause the sit uation of January and February to be acute.
 President Hubbard urges the men- bers of the Manufacturers associa- tiOn to consider the situation and to use the minimum of bituminous dur ing the next two months.

BAN SHAK ISPFARE PLAY.
Merchant of Venice Dropped From
 Newark school Studies

Newark, \. J., Dec. 24.--Shakes- peare's "Merchant of Nenice' is to be dropped from the literature studied in Newark public schools, "because of it's effect on the minds of non-JeWish children"
 In approving request from the anti-defamation league of C'hica go that the play be banned, the board of education's instruction committee as- Serted that it's action was based neither upon the em barras ssment which may be caused Jewish stu dents in the class, nor upon thin skinned sensitiVenesS, but because 0n-Jewish children "subconsciouslH will associate in their minds the Jew Shakespeare portrayed him with the Jew of today
 Children are not sLnaysts,' added d statement issued by the committee. The Jew of Shakespeare lives in the mind of the child as the Jew of New York or the Jew of Chicago OF the Jew of Newark"

STYLES ARE WHAT
 MAKE HIGH PRICES
One Dealer Gives His Version on the
 Cost of Footwear.

Here is one sidelight on high llN- ing costs from Q shoe dealer WHO has written as follows concerning hlS business experiences:
 When prices began going up bought as much stock as l could afford and then some" l sure mean to be prepared. Do you know what happened? The styles in shoes changer somewhat, the toe must be a trihe narroWcr-and nobody wanted the old styles.
 II would show two shoes to my GUS tomer This one, l would say, is the very latest style, at $9 a pair. This other one, of exactly the same quality. l can let you have for $4 q pair because 1 bought 1t before the prices went up
 DO you think 1 could sell the $4 shoe" I could not.
 This morning a jobher's man came to me and showed me a gray kid GOV cred heel welt ladies shoe at $3 a pair. Having been made under war restric- tionS. ii was only eight inches high. The present style, however, calls for ladies' shoes nine inches or more in height.
 In all other respects the two shoes were the same. Did buy the $5 shoe? did not. cant afford to buy what l can't seIl!'
 This mans store is in the suburbs. It is not patronized by the rich and fashiona ble. It's stock is sold 10 working people and their families. and the proprietor is not only willing but anxious to help his customers 10 reduce living costs.
 But what can you do?
 If you and your wife. Nour son John and. his wife, your neighbor and hiS sons wife and daughters must have the latest style in shoes during a time Of shortage in labor and raw materials and manufa curing facilities, what can this dealer do?
 Nothing of course. If you want to pay from S5 to $7.50 more a pair. for shoes in order to be certain tha you're up to date, and if you have the
