: SHUT DOWN
is SPOSS|BLE
|. H. Belt Officials Hold Up
Coal Pending Arrival of
Supply From East

The probability OF a complete shut
down Of a number OF the larger IN
dustries Of the region with a lay on
Of thousands of men. became evident
yesterday with the announcement by
the officials of the Indiana Harbor
Belt Railway that all coal consigned
TO industries and dealers would be
held up pending the arrival OF coal
from the east for which the road IS
now negotiating. The order does NOT
include coal consigned to public util-
titles which will be delivered the same
as usual. officials announced.
HOPE FOR SHIPMENTS
The coal which is being held UP will
be used by the railroad if necessity
demands but it is hoped that shipments
OF coal from the eastern states viii
be received before the present supply
IS exhausted and the cars consigned
to the industries may be released. At
the present time the railroad has only
a few days supply and soon as that
is gone they will start using the coal
which is now being held up.
NO LARGE RESERVES
None Of the industries Of the region
ahve any large reserves OF coal and
most OF them have been operating
SINCE the COdA slE4He last AaAA win
only a few days supply in reserve.
With cessation Of incoming cars the
plants will be forced TO cease oper-
alton or turn TO other fuels and TO the
majority OF the industries It viii mean
that they must stop work
Oil is being used in some OF the IN
dustries and has been in use since the
former strike but in most cases the
oil burners have proved 10 be an ex-
pensive method of operating and some
OF the plants will choose to close their
gates rather than attempt the oil route
again. Upon former attempts the
plants also experienced some trouble
in getting an adequate supply OF oil
and theh same trouble viii probably
be encountered again.

short time Some OF the smaller plant
have only a weeks supply, others
range from two weeks to a month or
six weeks. With only few days de-
lay in getting coal 1t will mean that
thousands of men will be out Of en-
ployment and if the shortage remains
/ acute for a couple OF weeks there
will be tens Of thousands idle.
The Baltimore and Ohio has taken
no steps to stop coal shipments as yet
and officials stated this morning that
they expected no such orders but

Ventilation.

Through persistent education the
why and wherefore Of this great health
necessity has been explained; still to
the many, air Is air, and that is all
there Is to 1t.
Ventilation does not simply mean
"open wide the windows" but 1t
should be done scientifically, especially
in sick room. To properly ventilate,
the air must be kept in motion. The
entrance opening for fresh air should
be larger than the one for exit. II
these openings are directly opposite,
the motion will take place without
doing the room any good. If there
are two windows in the room, one
should be opened from the top and
the other from the bottom. For the
general daytime room the temperature
should be SO degrees and at night 65.
A bathroom should be kept at 70. For
the sick room of pneumonia patients
and several other diseases, OF course,
the temperature should be kept as low
as possible without having the patient

EQUIPPED TO RULE OCEAN
Monster That Lived 100000 Years
Ago Must Have Been a Terror
to Other Fishes.

In the National museum at Wash
ingtOn is exhibited the skeleton of
zeuglodon--a monster which in life
was seventy feet long and which must
have been ruler of the seas during a
bygone epoch. There is good reason
to believe that this alarming creature
dates back fewer than 100000 years.

With an enormously long tail and
powerful swimming paddles, the ecu
glodOn must have been able to swim
at the speed Of an express train. and
its great alligatorlike head was armed
with huge carnivorous teeth.
It was manifestly a ferocious and
predatory brute and presumably fed
on fishes and porpoise. The head was
four feet long and in the front part
Of each jaw were eight teeth for seiz-
ing and tearing, which were supple
mented by a series Of saw edged cut
ting teeth at the back.
The zeuglodons were mammals, re-
lated to modern whales. They must
in their time have been very numerous,
judging from the quantities Of their
bones dug up In Mississippi and Ala
bama, where in places there are so
many as to interfere with blowing.
Farm walls are built of them.
Apparently the creatures, which
are denizens of warm seas, died and
were washed up into shallow waters

to dream Of receiving letters from
