INVESTIGATE COAL
SHORTAGE IN HOMES

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 20.-Investi-
cation OF the apparent shortage OF
coal for domestic consumption despite
continued production at the mine will
probably be undertaken by the In
diana fuel AID food commission as It's
next step in dealing with the fuel
problem in the state. Reports have
been received from various sources
of the inability of retail dealers to fur
nish coal to consumers.
The commission Tuesday continued
it's hearings held for the benefit Of op.
orators and retail dealers who are
complaining of the price fixing orders
recently issued.
Protest Filing Of Suit
Jesse Eschbach, chairman of the
commission, also made public a. letter
written by the Deming and Thompson
company, retail dealers of Frankfort,
to r. r. Yeagley, secretary Of the In
diana Retail Merchants association,
in which the Frankfort company pro-
tested against the filing of a suit in
the company's name against the state
commission contrasting the order fix
ing 1925 as the margin allowed re-
tailers. The Frankfort company did
cot authorize the filing of the suit, &C.
cording to it's letter.
The commission also had under con-
sideration a statement by l.. w. Pen
nell, member of the firm Of the Pen
nell-Dulin Lumber and Coal company.
Of Noblesville, in which Mr.. Pennell
declared that his company had not
authorized the suit fled in the Marion
circuit court against the commissions
orders and that he considered the
margin of 1925 fair enough in most
cases. The suits Of these two firms
were among the 80 filed in the court
here Saturday against the commits
sion's order fixing the margin al
| lowed retail dealers.

Combing Won't Rid
Hair Of Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid of dan
druff is to dissolve it, then you destroy
it entirely. To do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply
it at night when retiring; use enough
TO moisten the scalp and rub it in
gently with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning
most if not all, of your dandruff will
be gone and three or four more ap-
plications will completely dissolve and
entirely destroy every single sign and
trace Of 1t, no matter how much
dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy, lus-
trous, glossy, silky and soft, and look
and feel hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive and
never fails to do the work-Advertise-

REPORT OF FRIENDS
RELIEF WORK GIVEN
TO LOCAL OFFICES

Opening OF relief work by the
friends In Germany, Austria. Poland
and Serbia, and the closing Of work IN
France April /, 1920, marked the
closing of the third year OF the Ameri
can Friends. service committee, &C
cording to a report just received at
the Friends central offices here.
Finances Are Reported -.
This report states that for the us
cal wear OF the committees operations,
the receipts were $3.17S,015.4s. as
compared with $511,542.21 for the nrst
year. and $635,9S6.23 for the second
year. The large increase or receipts
for the third year, 1t Is said, was que
to the work Of feeding about 5oo,ooo
children in Germany. for when ABOUT
s2,75O, 900 in money and supplies was
contributed. 81
Feeding of several hundred thous.
and undernourished German children
one hot meal a day, was one Of the
most important developments during
the third fiscal year.
Children undernourished
The report reads in part:
LANE Adams, DR.. Alice Hamilton
and Carolena NJ Wood, the first rep
resentatives in Germany of the Friends
service committee. reported an alarm
ing condition of malnutrition among
young children, particularly In the
larger cities. Ricketts,, tuberculosis
stunted growth threatened to deprive
a whole generation of German children
of the fair chance which is the COM
mon right Of every child In the great
human family.
Germany, as a highly organized In
dustrial nation, has always been an
imporfer of foodstuffs. With her dim
inished food production ii is estimated
that she can produce at present only
So per cent Of the minimum require
ments of normal human existence
With her treaty obligations, her de-
moralized industries and the extreme
depreciation Of her money in foreign
markets, she could not buy the re-
naming As per cent. Child life conse-
auently suffered most under such con-
ditions, because the foods that are
lacking are the foods Chiefly needed
by growing bodies
Report Summarizes Work
For the period prior to September
/. 1920, the relief committee served
about 44,60O.00O meals During this
period enough food was shipped to
Germany to provide about 61,700.O0O
meals. These shipments represented
a cost Of about $3,100,0OO, and consist
ed of the following commodities and
quantities..
Lard, 754 tons; cocoa, 5271a tons;
sugar, 1,125 tons; milk, 1910 tons;
rice, 500 tons; flour. 4.793 tons; beans,
S72A tons; peas, 926k tons, and Oil,
146 barrels.
Work to Continue
1t has been decided to continue the
work at least until July, 1921. For
this period the German government
has promised to furnish the flour and
sugar needed to balance the ration,
which will represent a contribution Of
about $2,225,000. 1t is hoped to reach
a maximum of a million children.
The great suffering of the peoples
of Germany for need of necessities of
life, were found to be as bad or worse
in Austria, Poland and Serbia, accord
ing to the report.

seem to think that Liberty bonds have

compiled.
. Business Revival.
Opinion as to the immediate future
of business seems to be evenly div1d-
ed A majority of less than 10 per
cent look for further contraction,
but from the cotton states there is
reported preponderant expectation
of an early business revival This, y
Harris, Winthrop & Co. say, sis some
what remarkable when the decline in
cotton and the outcry it has caused,
are considered"
The answers to the four questions
asked in regard to the railway situa-
ton and the attitude of the railway
employees are generally satisfactory.
Public acquiescence in the advance in
rates is reported. The railway con
gestion is being relieved and it would
appear that upon the whole the rail
way employees are satisfied with the
pay they are now receiving. Harris,
Winthrop & Co. remark that these
conditions are suspicious insofar as
the market for railway securities is
concerned.
Continued apprehension of winter
coal famine is reported by many who
have answered the questionable.
Industrial Conditions.
With regard to the industrial and
social conditions seven questions were
asked. Harris, Winthrop & Co. say
that it is the answers to these ques'
tions that give the most concern, and
add that, although it is plain that
there is comparatively little unem
ployment and that wages are upon
the whole stationary or advancing
there is continued efficiency and far
more widespread effort to promote
| radicalism and communism than they
had been willing to believe.
In answer to an inquiry as to wheth'
er the organizations known as
The Industrial Workers of the
World q. w. w.
The Communist Party of America
The Communist Labor Party
The Non-Partisan League
The Socialist Labor Party
The Socialist Party of America

| union, and that while an effort to OPP
pose them is being made in some
! quarters, it is not be any means as
general as those who believe that the
beginnings of political evil should be
resisted, ought to hope.

tons submitted to them. 1t has been

An autographed baseball from
George Babe" Ruth. champion home
run hitter of the baseball world. has
been received by the Knights Of Co
lumbus here. Ruth sent an auto
graphed ball to each of the 20 coun-
ellis of the Knights of Columbus in
Indiana to be used in raising their
quota for the erection of the Gibault
Home for Neglected and Dependent
Boys. AS the local council had raised
it's full contribution, it is entitled to
keep the ball as souvenir.
When "Ba be- Ruth. who is X. c.,
was in Indianapolis he told John P:
O'Donnell, secretary of the Gibault
Home commission, he would send the
balls to be used for the Home. Ruth,
himself from an orphans home in
New York, was much interested in
the establishment of such home in
Indiana.
This summer Ruth paid the ex'

home in New York to ira velswith him
They were here and in Indianapolis
