gestion of trafic aggravated by un-
favorable labor conditions. upon the
principal Eastern railway systems,
yesterday caused the Interstate
Commerce Commission to issue a
drastic order giving priority to
shipments of coal to New England.

of series the commission has been
compelled to issue to break up rail-
way congestion and relieve alarm
ing coal shortages. will have the
effect OF embargoing shipments from

ance conveyed to governors of New
England States by President Will
son last week to the effect that
the coal shortage in that section,
resulting in serious curtailment OF
industrialism, would shortly be re-
lieved.
The commissions order becomes
effective August and will remain
in force as long as the New Eng
land shortage exists. 1t will re-

women. All the leading London
bookmakers-those who stand up"
on the course, as we'll as those who
do business through the phone and
a city office-number women among
their clients.
The police go so far as to say
that women are the chief patrons
of day card saloons, which exist In
fair numbers. One place is believed
to cater solely for women poker
players.
Some fthe bigger stores" said
a detective, have someone in their
employ-usually a man-who takes
the employees bets for the bookie.
This type of agent always reckons
the store girls among his best Gus

she said. DO they smoke? Do they

At midnight on July IS, while the

Mathewson's countenance rise from

expression of assured bliss and
from both port and starboard pock-

Commodious New Home of the DwightB E. HeardlnvestnlentCo Co.
 Indicative of Its Steady Growth

When asked for a statement on the history of the Dwight B. Heard Invest ment company. Mr. Heard stated:
 The business of which the Dwight B Heard Investment company IS the outgrowth was stated by me in 1896. first had a small office in tho rear of the third floor of the Fleming block. Some 20 years ago the business was established on the corner of Center and Adams streets, and our quarters from year to year were gradually en- larged as far as that location would permit.
 "On January 1. 1920. the business was incorporated. a number of men who have been associated with me for many years coming in as stockholders.
 "Originally the business was confined to mortgage loans, which still is a vety important branch. It is an interesting comment on the desirability of Salt River valley securities and the high class of borrowers. that in placing ap- proxlmately S16.0O0,OO0 of loans in the past 24 years I have only had one fore closure and that for but s1.200. l be- lieve this office is the first office to make loans under the Buckeye cana and also under the Arlington canal, anc we are always in a position to handle loans for reasonable amounts where the personal record of the borrower i: good in any part of the Salt River val ley, but make no loans outside this county.
 '1n the past 15 years. in addition t' the loan business, real estate insurance and cattle loan departments have beer added. Mir. George E. Lilley, the vice president of the company, who ha! been associated in the business for I years, has general charge of loans. MT Evan F. Lane. who has been with thu business for seven years with the ex

ception of his absence during the war, is manager of the Real Estate depart ment and is assisted by the following salesmen: MT. C. r. Woodbury. who has been associated with this office for four years, and who has q thorough knowledge of city values, is in charge of the city business MT. Walter Haugh, for a number of years secre- tary of the Buckeye Canal company has charge of the Buckeye department and MT. w. H. Taylor has charge of the recently opened Casa Grande division.
 The Insurance department of the business is in general charge of MT. Max Greenfield, who entered the or ganization six years ago and has been with us continually, except during his absence in the war. Personally. 1 am greatly aided in my own work by my secretary. Miss Birdie Fowler, and in our Accounting department we have two exceptionally trained men in Cap tain J. D. Carter and Mir. Edward w. Larson.
 This office brides itself on the fact that no transaction is too large, and none too small for us to handle thor oughly, and we have endeavored to build up. in our years of work. a spirit of genuine service to our clients. Tn our old quarters we were decidedly handicapped by lack of space. but in our new and comfortable quarters in the Heard building we are equipped tc give to our clients very much higher
 standard of service than ever before
 I am glad to say that despite genera l tightness of money we are able to take
 care of all good loans promptly, ant

 Tn our Real Estate department we aim to take no listing of property which we do not believe is a genuinely good buy. and by confining ourselves to the exclusive handling of buys that we can thoroughly recommend, we are in a position to be of real help to both buyer and seller"
 In conclusion. Mir Heard said "We are naturally very happy at being in our new quarters during the Christmas season, and we are extending to all our friends the best wishes of the season, and shall hope to meet them personally tonight when our new offices are formally opened"
