The idea is this: When a mortal de-
cides to commit suicide he goes to the
clinic and tells them about It DIR
Whoozis then questions him closely

the following conversations:
Doctor: There's no reason at all
for wanting to die. Isn't this love

Suicide: Where do you get that
stuff? Where have you been all these
years?
Doctor: Well. what's wrong with

We counted while the stations drop

W arm Weather
Averts Danger
OF Coal Famine
Fuel Consumption of City
Far Below Normal for
Season; Big Shipments
More Than Meet Demand
Dealers Are Optimistic
DR.. Copeland Says Crisis
Will Be Passed in Two
Weeks: More Fuel OH Wav

The danger of a coal famine this
winter apparently has been averted,
according to a consensus of opinion
expressed by coal dealers yesterday.
The menace which a few weeks ago
faced this city has been almost eimi-
mated through the unplanned coopera-
ton of Nature with the Interstate Com
nerce Commission and other public
bodies that have been working to solve
the problem.
1t was declared yesterday that had
the weather for the last month been
of the normal October variety the pres
ent stocks Of coal in the city would
have been consumed and the city would
have been facing heating crisis. The
unprecedented warm spell that has
hung over the city for the last four
weeks. at times reaching mid-July
temperature, has brought the situation
to a point where the movement of coal
into the city Will take care Of i'm
ediate demands. The operation of the
daylight saving time also has reduced
the amount Of coal necessary for illu-
minating purposes.
The action of the Interstate Com
merce Commission in releasing coal
cars to bring fuel to the city materi
ally has aided in bringing up the
amount of coal on hand close to the
city's requirements.
Local dealers agreed with the state
ment made in Cleveland yesterday by
Colonel d. B. Vent before the Nation
al Coal Association that there will be
no shortage anywhere if the mines are
supplied with cars to carry the coal.
Dr. Royal S. Copeland, Comm sioner
Of Health, whose department has made
g survey Of the situation, says that if
the people of the city can get along for
another two weeks, the situation will be
solved
He declared that the trouble with
many Of the people who are applying
for aid to the Coal Relief Bureau is
that .hey are seeking sufficient coal 10
last them through the winter, and ap-
parently are not satisfied to apply for
enough to meet their immediate de-
mands.
Enormous supplies cf coal are re-
ported to be on the way to the city.
It is expected that these shipments
will amount to more than 10000 tons
a day

Brooklyn, who has been investigating
coal prices in that borough, continued
