OF this character.
A kindergarten will be started at
the Fleming school building on Viz
glnia avenue on Wednesday, Janu'
!ary S, and any child OF five years OF
age will be admitted to the school
upon the payment OF zee yet to
be announced.
To conduct this school a teach
er in the person of Miss Amelia
McLester, OF Nashville, Tenn, has
been engaged and she will arrive
here the first Of next week TO as
sume her duties.
A room has been set apart In the
Fleming school building which Is
at this time being attractively dec
ornted and arranged for the use
; Of the kindergarten and this room
will be ready for the reception OF
pupils on Wednesday, January 5.
The West Virginia school code
provides that such a department
may be maintained in the public
schools where conditions warrant
It, but so far no city Of the state
has grasped the opportunity.
Miss McLester comes to take
charge Of the department very high
" recommended. Her education as
a teacher for kindergarten work
was obtained first in Nashville
where she took preparatory work
after which she spent two years
| in Harris Teachers college Of st.
Louis, graduating in the year 1912.
Following this she spent two years
in Columbia university graduating
In 1918 and receiving a diploma IN
kindergarten supervision and
teaching. Miss McLester taught
for two years IN Ward Belmont col
! lege at Nashville, two years In the
Farnville State Normal school,
taught during the summer Of 1915
In Peabody college for Teachers at
Nashville and during the summer
Of 1920 in the University Of Vir-
glnia. During thepast few months
Miss McLester had been travelling
in Cuba but will reach here next
week to begin her duties.
II the school proves to be the
success that is hoped for 1t is the
intention as soon as conditions
warrant it to establish similar
schools in the city. At this time
the Fleming building is the only
school building where there is
available room for a kindergarten.

.RED CROSS HERE
STARTSYEARWITH.
.4,652 MEMBERS
Recent Roll Call Proved
Even More Successful
Than Previous One

Fairomnt Chapter OF the Amer
lean Red Cross has achieved the
distinction Of being one of tew
chapters In the state which made
better showing during the
Fourth Roll Call than during last
years membership campaign.
1t was generally conceded by
those in charge Of the local can
yass that 5000 memberships, rep
resenting two-thirds OF the 1919
total, would have been q crafty
ing mark for the Fourth Roll Call.
Last years total. was $4.328.00-
or 1928 one dollar memberships
and such able efforts had been
put forth that II was not expected
that the 1920 canvass would even
closely approach the same total.
So with the mark OF 5000 set for
this year the Roll Call started
forth in the community and the
nearby districts seeking its annual
moral and financial backing.
During the days of November
when the membership work was
at its height the reports were slow
in reaching headquarters, al
though it became known quite
early that the local interest was
aroused to pleasingly high pitch.
Fairmonters and citizens OF the
county districts seemed to appre-
clate the good work the Fairmont
Red Cross chapter had been doing.
1t is admitted at Red Gross
headquarters in the County build
ing that the reports, as they come
in from various committees and
individual workers, were surpris-
ing, for they ran ahead of last year
almost from the start. And the
final total given out today
accounts for 1852 pneu1bershtpsl

RegulateCoal
Distribution,
Says Speaker
Mining Rate Should Be
Uniform Through
out the Year

ATLANTIC CITY, Dec. 2S.-The
last four years of rather harsh eX'
perience' with the coal situation
contains come signs for the future,
A. G. GutheIm, OF the American
Railway association, said here to-
day. speaking for the American
Economic association. His address
reviewed the history OF the indus
try before, during and after the
war, and from this study Mr..
Gutheim drew the conclusions that
the bituminous mining industry
was developed "far beyond" the
present or Immediate demand of
trade, foreign or domestic. 1t has
also been shown that the railroad
facilities probably were adequate
to distribute the nations need OF
coal IL it is handled at a fairly
uniform rate throughout the year
but wholely unable to cope with
weekly peaks OF twelve million
tons of coal and valleys OF seven
million five hundred thousand tons
OF coal, as during the last two
years.
$50 long as regulatory powers
exists" the speaker said, ito force
coal production at the expense OF
the industry, similar power should
exist to compel proper distribution
OF such production, should neces-
sity arise"
Production, transportation, dis
tribution and consumption must
"be reasonably well balanced in
the coal situation" Mr.. Gutheim
said. Under ordinary conditions
proper coordination OF these factors
should produce better conditions.

Grand Total -........-S4,652.25

II Ia quite likely that Fairmonl
ranks first In West Virginia IL
nercoutage of gain, although deti-
mite figures from other West Vir-
einia red Cross Chapters are not
available at the moment. But
whether or not Fairmont stanus
first the showing made is excep-
tional and reflects the credita0ie
work of those who participated IN
the Fourth Roll Call and the cor
dial support they received.
There were numerous interesting
facts connected with the MEMBER
shin canvass many of which have
been noted upon the Red Gross
records. The large sisnooard
which stood on the court house
lawn undoubtedly was helpful as
an advertising medium for 1t con-
yeyed to those who passed much
information about the Red Cross
work not generally known. Tue
signboard was donated by McCray
Brothers. Credit Is also due Mrs
Charles Cunningham who turned
in slls of the $147 total from RiVes
WIG, anu LO A4oAhuu9A ~" -
for his efforts in securing 1888
from Annabelle; to Miss Jane Ash
craft who was largely responsible
for the 1878 return from the 9Th
ward, or "a per cent Of last years
total; to George Brobst for $242
from the 7th ward showing gain
over 1919.
Referring again to the early days
OF the local canvass It is recalled
that Miss A. Ruth Kelly's commit
tee which worked through the
stores and office buildings in the
business section turned in $430, or
far more than in other years While
this fine list Of membership en-
rollments subtracted somewhat
from the possibilities left IN the
ward districts, It was a wonderful
help toward the fine total for the
city MS a whole. The booths sta
toned throughout the business sec
tion also improved upon last years
total with $7O3,26 which is highly
credltable to Mrs. J. N Gr1msley
who had charge Of the booths. And
e. E. Maston came through with
SAT- from his committees canvass
Of the local factories.

THE AMERICAN AUTO PUMP

It just takes Pep and Energy. Why there are agents in the Middle West States selling 15 to 50 pumps a day that never seen an automobile until they started to sell Auto Pumps. Now they belong to the SalesmenS Union Men-this little wonder Auto Pump is no toy or plaything. it is an absolute necessity to the automobile owner. So cont be last, be first and get choice. A Few Remarks Of interest concerninq
 This Pump
 It automatically dissipates the heat of compression by it's circular swing through the air; it is a perfect self cooler Treasures under one hundred pounds, only nicely warns the cylin- ders.
 The average tire contains about 500 cubic inches of air space at 20 miles an hour, this pump makes 176 double strokes minute, the piston travelling a distance of 1O56 inches or SS feet conpressing 1056 cubic inches of air per minute.
 The ordinary hand pump piston travels about 20 feet per minute de- livering about APO cubic inches of air
 The average tire contains about 800 cubic inches of free air space Then 800 cubic inches of air would represent a tire atmosphere of (near sea leveD about Is pounds pressure. This pump effectively cares for slow leaks and punctures
 
 proven that when a puncture occurs and this pump is attached and travel ing is resumed. the e-inflation through the medium of this pump. promptly raises the tire off the rim and main tains from 30 to 50 pounds of air in the tire indefinitely, enabling you to drive 1 home or to public garage Large -punctures have been purposely caused | by driving the sharp end of a large tile | through the tire and tube as a test | and the pump has never failed to | maintain sufficient air in the tire to | keep it up off the rim
 With this pump the largest pune lures become merely a slow leak
 One of the largest redeeming feat ures of the little Auto-Pump is the relief and pleasure it brings to the women drivers The pump is at tached quickly and without muscular effort, and all hand pumping is done away with.
 ou can't carry an air station with you. but you can carry an AMERICAN Al O-PUMP which is a lot better than an air station, as you tap the reservoir of all out doors.
