oroandy Used for Faeinq.

Even during the winter hat models were faced with organdy, and now one sees many hats of silk or straw with facings of organdy. There are also wide brimmed models fashioned entirly of organdy. Trimmed with scarfs and bows of organdy, these are fetching hats that make attrac- tive accompaninnents to muslin frocks.
 Muslin and linen are cleverly com bined with straw after the fashions of silk and straw combinations. The soft crown top and part of the rest of the hat ic of the straw.

THE COAL SITUATION.

It is certainly not what can be calI- ed cheerful news when the anaeins director of the American Wholesale Coal association declares that the country is threatened with a coal shortage of 100000, eco tons. yet that is what he predicts, and while he may be giving the outside limit there are reasons to believe that more than half of that amount, or 54.000, ,o0e tons, are included therein because of the belief that such an amount will be
 furnished to European countries. and all that goes out of the country will
 contribute just so much to the short age here.
 It will be difficu1t to convince the
 people that there was any need for the threatened shortage in this country outside of what may be exported, for it is we'll understood that the con- sumption from year to year is in- cIined to increase rather. than de- crease, if the fuel can be obtained. and with such a knowledge production should have been maintained, if not increased during the early months of the year when some of the mines were practically closed.
 But with the amount of coal mined considerably below last year at this time, with the cost of production high and the transportation rates up there is no reason to anticipate that there will be any drop in the price. Hopes that there would be a change for the better have unquestionably delayed the placing of early orders, which fact is given as one reason for curtail- ing production, but at this season it might as we'll be realized that any further delay is simply decrea sing the chances of beating the threatened shortage. It is a case now of looking out for personal needs through the placing of orders for as early delivery as possible under the best terms that can be made.

Hitchcock Notified of Changes Made in
 Covenant of League
By Associated Press

Washington, April exchanges which have been made in the covenant of the league of nations have been cabled from Paris to Senator Hitchcock, retiring chairman of the Senate foreign relations committee. The message was received today by the senator. but he declined to discuss it further than to say he had not asked the American peace delegates for the information.
 Senator Hitchcock is regarded gener- ally as the chief spokesman of the ad- miniStration in the controversy which has developed in this country over the league of nations plan and it is understood tho purpose of sending the communication was not only to keep the senator in- formed of the progress made in revising the league constitution, but also that ex- pected to be made.
 Senator Hitchcock is to participate in joint debate with Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin, republican, on the league of nations in New York next Monday night and it is probable he will use some of this information in his address.
 The communication to Senator Hitch cock was said to be the first relative to the peace conference to be received by any senator from the American delega- ton.

SeUen-P Player Rule Will
Prone Boon TO Leaque
Youngsters Already Showing Life and Pep on ALI Diamonds
in the Sunland Major. q
BY BOB

The same brand of pep and life that
made the Yanks the greatest army
that ever faced an enemy will be in
evidence in the Southern league this
season If the ginger displayed in spring
training may be taken as a criterion.
Fandom, which was at first critical Of
the plan to have all CLUBS in the Dixie
circuit to carry seven players below
Class A, are going to. be the strongest
boosters of the proposition, judging
from the way the bugs are acting in
The spring exhibition games all over
the league.
Listless ball playing, which has long
been one of the leeches which Slapped
the life and interest in the national
sport, Is a thing of the past, owing
to the fact that on every ball club in
the Southern there are youngsters who
have been playing ball in Uncle Sans
army and who are in the proper physi-
cal and mental condition to stand the
most rigorous playing, Men who for
merly, climbed out of the feathers at
5 o'clock in the morning and drilled
all day are now numbered among the
players on the rosters Of Southern
league clubs. They are easily dis
ti~nguishable in the makeup of teams,
for their life and their apparent love
of the game. For instance, there is
q young catcher on the Memphis club,
Frank DELANEY by name, who has been
In the service for a year. He is the
scrappiest player on the team right
low. In the first game of the season,
an exhibition affair, DELANEY was
loudly applauded because he had the
life, the pep and ginger. He was
fighting all the time, talking like a
maybe, heads up in the game through
out. The fans liked it. He is one of
the army players some of the mis-
guided bugs have been raving about.
And he has already made a big hit.
In Atlanta there is Scrappy Moore,
who Is 100 per cent scrappier than ever
before because he has been in the army.
He Is in the game all the time for-Char-
ley Frank. And the same goes for play
