DEALERS TO SHARE COAL
Wholesalers Plan Working Agree
ment In Case Of Strike

The Philadelphia Wholesale Coal
Trade Association met in the Chamber
of Commerce yesterday afternoon for
the purpose of making arrangements for
an equitable distribution of the exist :
ing supply of bituminous coal at as
low prices as possible. This action
was taken in an effort to assist con =
sumers to continue the operation of
their plants in case of suspension of
production in the central competitive
bituminouS district, such as might oc-
cur if the threatened strike goes into
effect.
In resolution the wholesalers point
to the fact that consumers are bidding
up the price of coal by their efforts
to accumulate Il reserve supply.
"Be it, therefore, resolved" the
resolution reads, that the Phiadel-
phia Wholesale Coal Trade Association
use every effort to insure an equitable
distribution of the available coal at
reasonable prices and pledge ourselves
to limit our commission to the normal
rate, to refrain from speculative buy
ing or any other action that will have
a tendency to create runaway market.

the effort

ONE white rat every thirty four min :

Government for experimental purposes
by the Wistar Institute of Anatomy and
Biology of the University of Pennsyl-
vania during the two-year war period.
DR.. Milton j. Greenman. director of the
institute. in an announcement today,
made public this fact which heretofore
had been kept military secret.
More than 10000 of these animals
were supplied the army surgeons and
medical research men in their efforts to
diagnose pneumonia, in testing certain
remedies and to discover means of pro-
lection against gas. Weekly $50 of the
white little beasts were sent by mes
senger to Washington. One laboratory
alone received a consignment of $500
rats at Washington. The demand for
them in army hospitals was enormous
and the Wistar animal co onies bore
the responsibility of furnishing the
largest number of them.
Colony Reaches 1000
The colony of white rats and mice at
the University research institute ranges
from 5000 to 1000. About 1000 are used
annually for research work.
The Wistar Institute is the only in .
stitution of it's kind in the country that
uses only the white rat in conducting
its experiments, in preference to the
guinea pig, rabbits, and other animals.
The Wistar Institute Museum has
been opened to the public. Here may be

Her Own Children

Her own Children
Mrs. Lillian Stanford, 1882 Gordon

mapping her own children. Her hus-
band, James Stanford, swore out the
warrant.
Last May Mrs. Stanford disappeared
about the same time cousin, George
Smith. Twenty sixth street near York
also disappeared. Nothing was heard
from either until this week, when Mrs.
Stanford appeared suddenly at the home
of neighbor on Twenty sixth street.
She said she wanted very much to see
her children, Josephine and Charles,
nine and eight years old, respectively.
The neighbor stopped them on their
way home from school and took them
to their mother. Later, ON a pretext
of getting them candy, Mrs. Stanford
went out with them and did not re
turn.
She has not returned yet, which is
the reason for the warrant.

English Evangelist Says Misunder
standings Are Result

standings Are Result
Punctuation in the Bible is often
wrong and leads to misunderstanding.
DIR. Campbell Morgan, the English
evangelist who is giving series of
sermons in Philadelphia, made that as :
sertion last night at Bethany Church.
The words of the Bible may be inspired
the speaker said, but the punctuation
is not and is often wrong.
He said the New Testament could
not be understood without study of
the Old. Doctor Morgan reviewed the
Bible from the fall of man to the reve :
lation of new Jerusalem. Referring
to the Book of Psalms, he said it was
the outpouring of human experience be-
fore God and in this book no emotion
of the soul was neglected.
