Predicts Big Shrinkage in
Government Wool Stocks
Goods for Mems Fall Clothing, Manufacturer Be-
ieves, Can Be Bought Cheaper Now Than Two
Months Hence; English Mills Guarantee Prices
ENRY FRUHAUF, manufact,

ENRY FRUHAUF, manufacturer
i i of mems clothing, believes that
prices for woollens and worsteds
will advance. For that reason he is
now buying cloths from which his
rm - Fruhauf Brothers & Co. will
next fall, and he is willing to let the
fact be made known to his competitors.
II confidently expect" said Mr.. Fru-
hauf, chat prices for woollens and
worsted goods for mems fall clothing
will advance at least 25 per cent with
in the next two months If the cloth
ing manufacturers of the country get
all the business for next fall they ex-
pect, and l think they WILL there will
not be sufficient woollen fabrics to go
round. While it is true that the gov
ernment has more than 100000 900
pounds Of wool on it's hands, that does
not mean 400,0OO,000 pounds of wool
suitable to be made up into mems and
women's clothing. Much Of it is in
the grease and will shrink on an aver
age Of so per cent. In addition to that
much of the government owned wool is
of too low a grade to be made up into
cloth suitable for the clothing trade.
At rough guess, I think, the avail
able supply af wool ready to be woven
into cloth will not exceed 0O,OOO,OOO
pounds. Even with the new domestic
clip and imports, the supply will not
be increased to any great extent.
"On top Of all this we must remem-
Der that the mills were late in getting
started on their fall production this
year. They have lost about three
months production at the beginning Of
the season and are hampered now by
labor troubles. Some of the mills pro-
ducing high grade fabrics for the
women's wear trade have not turned

w. Pearson, state director of educa-
tion of the Ohio War Savings Com
mittee, declared that Ohio school chill
dren would sell more War Savings
Stamps during the last four months
of the year than were sold during the
spring months. Sales through the
schools this year total more than
$4,000 900, which, with the 100000
sales Of last year make a grand total
Of more than $20O00,00O
In speaking of the Ohio First Club,
Educational Director Pearson said
The problem before US today is to
Americanize America. Can this be
done better than by having every in
dividual invest money in America by
means Of War Savings Stamps? 1t
is a good way to begin at any rate
and the schools should, during the
coming year, devote their energies
to it."

Looking back span of years which has
the rise, of both the Oil and gas industry and speaking
business and also as State GeoiOglst OF West
Virginia and in that sense kind OF guardian OF the
States mineral resources, my studies have led me to the
following conclusions concerning the natural gas situa
ton in the Appalachian fields:
Cd Approximately three-fOurths of the original
supply of natural gas in the West Virginia fields is al
ready exhausted much than half OF which has been
wasted without any attempt at utllzatlOn
(2) Of the portion used for domestic purposes at
least 20 to so per cent wasted through the OF
crude burners resulting in bright flames instead of bue
and also through lack of intelligent methods of applying
the flame to the object to be heated.
(3) Natural gas practically double in heating value
the best grade of manufactured has always been sold
too cheap and this than any other has led
to its universal waste and Wastetul use.
() It is such pure and cleany fuel and so limited
in supply that it should have been preserved entirely
for domestic use, and its introduction into general in
dstra purposes economic mistake which should
speedily be remeded
90 The only effective means of conserving the
ing supply of natural gas and prOOngng its life to
distant future for domestic purposes to raise the price
of the gradually until it approaches the cost at
which manufactured gas be furnished for fuel pur
pOses since otherwise will be impossible for the pro-
ducng and marketing companies to MAINTAIN satlstac-
tory supply to those who prefer to use gaseous tue
(6) This increased price (eVen TWO or three umeS)
over that now charged the domestic would not
necessarily increase the cost of his fuel bills that
which he pays, in fact in most cases it would lead
to reduction of the through the Intervention of
efficient burners and more intelligent use OF the
same whereby the 80 per cent of the available heat in
natural gas ordinarily wasted by the consumer,
would be conserved and utilized. During the colder
months of the year, at least advancing rate should be

prises to change without hardship to other forms of fuel
or if they DESIRE install their fuel gas plants thus
avaiIing themselves Of gaseous fuel at first cost
CD Should our Public Service Compassion adopt
the policies herein suggested, the following benefits
would come to all:
(a) Waste of gas would soon be effectually
checked not only in the field, but along the great
pipe lires well as at the points OF consumption.
(b) The farmer original owner of the gas
could be paid much larger sum for the right to
secure, and transport this product to market.
(c) The life of the Appalachian gas fields could
be so greatly prolonged just how many decades no
one accurately forecast, that manufactured gas
could gradually and insensibly replace the vanish
ing natural product without any interruption in the
supply of gaseous fuel so greatly priced by those
who have enjoyed the wonderful convenience of
its use.
(d) Gas shortage and insufficient service would
be things Of the past and while the income of the
gas companies would certainly be greatly decreased
at first with the decreased consumption which
higher rates are sure to cause, especially in
featuring enterprises, yet the decreased expense in
cident to drilling many wells in a vain effort
to keep up the failing supply, would tend to affect
the smaller receipts to a considerable extent, and
finally with increasing prices enable them to earn
reasonable profit, also gradually to supplement
the deficiency of natural gas with the manufactured
product, and thus continue indefinitely in the 5usi-
of supplying fuel gas to their patrons instead
of gradually cutting off consuming center after
another with the failing natural gas supply, and
finally junking the entire outfit.
