VESSELS ALLOTTED FOR
COAL TO new ENGLAND
40O, 900 Tons to Be Sent Monthly
From Baltimore-Shortage
Threatens Mills.

Large movements OF coal for New
England through the ports Of Balti-
more, Norfolk and Philadelphia are to
he aided by the Shipping Beard
through the ALLEGATION of a number Of
ships to New England coal operators.
1t was estimated at the board to-
day that the movements through the
port of Baltimore will approximate
100. 900 tons per month. and this
monthly average will continue we'll
into the fall
The New England coal situation IL
regarded as so critical that the board
promises to allocate as many ships as
possible to afford relief.
The action was taken after a New
England delegation called yesterday
on Commissioner Donald and talked
over the situation.
1t is Understood that wooden ships
owned and controlled by the board
will be utilized chiefly for the purpose
Of transporting the coal. II was an
nounced some time ago that a number
of these ships would be placed in the
export coal trade.
1t lis understood here that existing
railroad embargoes on coal for export
will not interfere with the program
of the Shipping Board. Coal from
Baltimore and other ports will not be
Cor EXPORT, but will merely be taken
up to the New England coast to meet
serious shortages incident to freight
congestion and scarcity OF coal cars.

CUMMING LEADS
= FIGHT ON PLAGUE
Takes Personal Charge Of Cru.
sade In South As Disease
Spreads.

Reports Indicated a spread OF the
bubonic plague in Gulf Coast cities
prompted a decision by Surgeon Gen
eral Hugh s. Cumming to take per-
sonal charge OF the Public Health
Service campaign to eradicate the dis
ease.
DR.. Cumming announced that he
was leaving Immediately for a per-
sonal inspection tour OF all the places
where cases OF the plague have been
discovered. The three principal points
at which the disease has appeared
thus far are New Orleans. Pensacola,
and Galveston.
The plague has been present at New
Orleans since last October. IL was
stated at the headquarters of the
Public Health Service here. Three
cases and two deaths have been offi-
ctally reported at Pensacola and one
death at Galveston.
Despite these reports. however offi-
eials of the Public Health Service In
sisted that the situation offers no
cause for alarm. They point out that
only rigid quarantine methods are
necessary to prevent its spread to
other points. and that In this field
Surgeon General Cumming Is one OF
the worlds leading experts.
The bubonic plague Is carried sole
ly by rats, II is emphasized. and rail
travel is not as popular with the ro-
dents as water journeys. 1t is felt,
therefore. that by establishing rigi6
quarantines at the points where the
plague already has been discovered
and the exercise of the most drastic
safeguards against further germ-car-
riers coming into the United States
by ship the epidemic can be checked.
Bootleggers are under suspicion as
possible source OF the bubonic
plague cases which have been dis
covered in Pensacola and Galveston.
according TO DR.. Cummings.
DR.. Cummings was in Europe.
studying the plague in Mediterranean
ports, when he was appointed surgeon
general last March. lie had moved to
germ carriers reaching American
ports from infected districts before
the disease was reported in Texas
and Florida.
ALL BOATS FUMIGATED.
EVERY boat bound for American
ports from the Mediterranean. or from
South and Central America, is inspect
ed and fumigated before it leaves"
said DR.. Cummings this morning.
BOATS are also fumigated at New
York, Hampton Roads and other
points where they enter the United
States.
1--WE are uncertain how the cases
originated which have been reported,
but think 1t probable they came with
liquor smugglers, either from CUT
or from Mexico. where cases were
reported several weeks ago at Vera
Cruz and Tampico.
In both Galveston and Pensacola,
the frst victims are persons who
work where rats are to be found.
FOOD STORE CLERK VICTIM.
In Pensacola the young man who
first became affected works in a food
store and the second victim is an ice
man who visited the store on his
rounds. In Galveston the only victim
so far reported is a man who works
in a seed store, which also attracts
rats.
"A force OF physicians, train in
spectors. rat catchers and sanitary en-
gineers has been sent to each of these
points. the Pensacola group being un-

SHAMANS KEEP THEIR POWER

So implicitly does the Alaskan believe
In the words and actions of the sha-
man that whole tribe go hungry rath-

The shaman attained his position
and power by unusual methods. BY
fasting and prayer amid the soltudes
of the woods or mountains, where he
fed only on grasses and roots, he
prepared himself to become shaman.
By this method it was believed the
candidates body became sufficiently
purified to become the abiding place
of spirits.
Usually the spirit, willing to abide
with the shaman, sent the novitiate n

the shaman would go insane or be

the tongue was taken.
Thus the land otter was regarded
as too sacred to be killed by other

Beginning Of Life Insurance.

Life insurance grew out of marine
insurance, for merchants sending
goods by sea in early times usually
accompanied the ship themselves, and
were liable to capture by pirates. cs-
pccially by the Moorish and Turkish
pirates who then infested the Mediter-
ranean sea. In order to provide the
necessary ransom for their release. II
captured. it became the practice of
travelling merchants to pay premium
to certain individuals. called under
writer's, who guaranteed the payment
of the ransom In the event of the mer-
chants being caught. The practice
was gradually extended to insurng
the lives. first of mariners and then
OF other persons, the underwriters
agreeing, In return for n certain pre-
MUM, to pay fixed amount If the
person insured died within n certain
time. out of this was evolved the var.
ious forms of contracts of life inSur
mncc in use today.

CHURCH. SMALL BUT FAMOUS
England, Has Been Prominent
Landmark for Centuries.

Brent Tor is little bit of stone
church built high on the frowning
cliffs of the wild North Devonshire
coast in England. The church is so
little that a Devonshire yokel with a
keen sense Of humor is said to have in
scribed this cryptic warning. which
puzzled many simple-minded Devon
shire farmer: "If you get into the
second aisle of Brent Tor. you will
never get out gain" There is no Sec
ond aisle in the wee church at all.
Brent Tor was built centuries ago
by man who was lost among the
steep cliffs and rushing waters of the
wild North Devon coast. The fog
mists enveloped him. In his anguish
as the roar and spray of the cold At
lantic assailed him he vowed solemnly
that If he ever came safely out of the
fog without pitching into the growing
ocean he would build church where
he landed. Brent Tor was the result.
The good folk round about Devon
shire tell how the devil tried to ham
per the building Of the little church.
At last st. Michael de 10 Rupe. to
whom 1t was dedicated. grew weary
of having the devil interfere with the
proceedings and heaved great mass
of cliff at his satanic majesty. There
was no further trouble.
A popularity of Brent Tor is the
fact that 1t can be seen from all di-
rections-it is veritable landmark.
Before 1t toss the restless waves of
the Atlantic ocean and behind it slope
the undulating Devonshire moors.
