to the Friday morning mandate in
directing freight agents to hold in
yards all coal in transit through
or to those points, there was also
iSsued q general order from H. A.
Garfield, United States fuel admin
istrator, which established the
preference list" showing which
consumers of coal should be given
preference in allotting fuel. This
order was given out by Garfield
last Wednesday, but confirmation
of the press reports reached the
local affices of the railroads only
today.
AS established by Mr.. Garfield
the following groups of consumers
are to be given preference in the
order they are named, each having
to be satisfied before the next on
the list can receive. supply:
A--Railroads.
B-Army and navy together with
other departments Of the federal
government
C-State and county departments
and institutions. a-t
D-Public utilities.
E-Retail dealers.
Manufacturing plants on war
industries boards preference list.
G. Manufacturing plants not on
war industries board preference
list.
H-Jobbers.
! Lake.
Underwater.
This, of course, refers to dis
tribution by railroads. and not by
retail dealers in coal and other
fuels. The coal held by the roads
without delivery to its consignees
is to be used according to this ap-
portionment.
Mr.. Hanks was busy today COM
municating with railroad officials
in an attempt to get further re-
lease of coal held in the yards, but
an order to that effect was not
forthcoming up to press time.
Rock Island Prepared.
Rock Island faces the first week
of the coal strike, and the stop
page OF all deliveries of coal by
railroads into the city, prepared for
a long siege. Should the strike and
subsequent tieup stretch out to an
abnormal length of time, the first
month will pass without any serious
effects After that time, With The
machinery of the fuel admin:stra-
ton in full operation, the coal sup
ply will be SO carefully husbanded
that actual suffering will be avert.
ed for a long time, even in case
OF real coal famine.
Railroads are warned to guard
against pilfering OF coal from cars
standing loaded with coal in the
yards, by regional directors of the
railroad administration. The or
der issued says: AT any poinl
where there is danger that coal in
cars held as per previous instruc-
tons may be appropriated by out
siders without authority, necessary
Waterman service should be in.

The barges are 800 feet long and

shows that So ships made a safe

There has not been an accident

the race. If Rock Island is placed

the back, where it is held down by TIPS
OF the wing feathers. This brings
into view bilowy mass of white fea-
theirs formed by the under tail coverts.
AS the quill feathers are brought into
play to hold down the tail. the long,
barred "scapulars" and the pure white
secondaries are in some mysterious
way spread out into sort of shield,
covering each side of the body.
BY the time these complex move
ments are completed transformation
has been effected which is almost indie.
scribable. All likeness to the bird of
few minutes ago has vanished What
remains is a bewildering simmer of
feathers from which proceeds a series
of low, cultural sounds like "oak oak
oak" slowly uttered. AS these sounds
are uttered this feathered contortion-
ist stands directly in front of his mate
evidently endeavoring 20 excite her
admiration and her consent to his suit.
No other member of the bustard
tribe has quite so remarkable a dis
play. But the great Australian bus
tard makes a good second. With this
species the tail is also drawn forward
over the back and the neck is inflated,
but by very different means, for it
is the gullet and "crop" which are fill
ed with air. At such times the "crop"
forms great pendulous bag, hanging
down far below the line of the breast
and swaying with the birds every
movement.
The head, however, instead of being
drawn down on the back, is thrust
high up into the air, the neck forming
a sort of pos to which, as it were, it
is affixed. In this strange posture the
bird struts about with mincing gait
before his commonly passive and ap-
parently Indifferent mate. At last,
however, his pertinacity is rewarded.
Among birds windbags are by no
means rare devices for captivating
coy mates. In some species these aids
tc courtship are bare of, feathers and
brilliantly colored, as in the case of
the strange frigate bird of the tropics.
Herein the air vessel forms a great
crimson pouch which, when fully in
fiated, rivals the rest of the body in
size.
