FISHING is NOT GOOD

! y OMEBODY remarked that most of the Ard
) more people who were released from their
customary employment on the afternoon
# Volunteer Day. April %, made use of the
lalf-holiday to go fishing. That appeared to
re the way of it, since the subscriptions to the
Jictory loan made that day were very far be-
ow expectations.
Fishing is not good so long as Ardmore
ags behind in the Victory loan. Cities and
ounties all around are over the top, or they
ire going over right away, whilst Ardmore re
mains still in the trenches. The zero hour"
las struck, and yet the charge has not been
made Thus far Ardmore is asleep at the
witch.
Ardmore cannot afford to fall down on this
luota. For the reputation of this city, for It's
rood name, for its future fair fame, the cit
zens have got to put the loan over. The quota
s larger than should have been assigned to
u.s. but it is too late now to get it reduced The
hing to do is to meet it.
There are hundreds of people who could
invest in the Victory notes of the smaller de-
nominations, but haven't. The terms of pay
nent are easy. You have until Nov. II (Arm-
stce Day, remember) to pay up. When you
hall have paid up, you will have note signed
~ Uncle SAM drawing 4$I per cent interest,
which you can hold or sell and if you find it
necessary to sell it, the note will bring par or
above, in the opinion Of experts in finance. This
Victory note is a much better proposition than
my of the Liberty bonds.
Buying Victory note in fact, is just like
hiding money.

Cloak Strike to End
When Prices Tumble

Abraham Baroff, general secretary
treasurer of the international Ladies'
Garment Workers Union, assumed an
attitude of remuneration yesterday,
and announced that the $4,000 cloak
makers, who are threatening to strike,
were willing to. forego their walkout
on one condition.
More than that, quoth Mr.. Baroff,
registering meekness and resignation
and holding his former attitude. the
cloakmakers would withdraw their
demand for a 80 per cent increase
and promise to strike no more-on
one condition.
He then recited that condition as
follows:
"If the employers are willing to
sell the 'cloakmakers the necessities
of life at the prices charged five years
ago, there will be no more strikes,
and the cloakmakers will be willing
to sign an agreement for five years,
during which all strikes will be
taboo"

Hotel AstOr to Burn
Oil and Saue 1000
Tons of Coal a Month

Plans to save more than 1000 tons
of coal month in the Hotel Astor by
the use of crude oil as fuel have been
filed with William E. Walsh, Superin-
tendent of the Bureau of Buildings.
Other large hotels, whose saving Of
coal would approximate $4,000 tons a
month, are awaiting the result of the
plan before taking similar action. Work
has progressed so far toward convert
ing the Astor's heating plant from coal
to fuel oil that it is said it would be
possible almost overnight to fire it's
boilers and run its electric light and
ice plants by oil in case the coal strike
continued and threatened the hotel
with fuel shortage.
To guard against danger resulting
from having large supplies of crude
oil stored under the hotel and adjacent
sidewalks, the plans provide for a
double wall about the fuel tanks and
arrangements for flooding with water
in case of emergency. The tanks also
are arranged with special vents to
carry off possible accumulation of ex-
plosive gases.
The plans were sent to Mr.. Walsh q
month ago. Although the cost of con-
version has been tripled by costs OF
labor and material, the hotel manage.
ment expects the use of oil to reduce
the hotels total fuel costs.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 8.-Although a
statement was issued at the White
House to-day expressing the belief
that the difficulties between the btu
minous coal operators and miners
would be settled at Indianapolis to-
morrow, officials said tonight that
until the miners have been back at
work long enough to build up at least
a small reserve of fuel the Railroad
Administration and the Fuel Admins
tration could not be expected to re-
trace the steps they have taken to
save coal.
The White House statement to-day
did little to clear the mystery the
government has made Of the solution
1t has offered to the problem. 1t said:
ut is hoped that there will be
settlement on Tuesday afternoon of
the controversy between the miners.
the operators and the government.
through the acceptance by the miners
of the plan for definite settlement
proposed by the President, which pro-
posal was submitted to Acting Presi-

Mr.. Palmer and Assistant ATTORNEY
