Yes. in most particulars replied
Mrs. Gray; "but some of the guests

Hunter College Prepares
For Its Golden Jubilee
First Institution of Kind for
Women Was Founded Here
Fifty Years AGO

Hunter College. the first institution
for the higher educstion of women to
be established and supported by public
funds. will have been established fifty
years on February Ia. Plans are being
made for an elaborate celebration of the
golden jubilee.
There will be exercises beginning
February I and eliminating with the
presentation Of fund Of $50, 600 with
which to erect an alumna hall This
fund is being raised.
The college was established in Broad
way in 1870 by Thomas Hunter a bril-
liant young lrishnan, who entered the
public school system when mere boy
as teacher of drawing. Overcoming
the bttcrest opposition, he persuaded
the Board of Education to establish a
normal school for the instruction of girls
who planned careers as public school
teachers
Previous to that time, normal schools
had been composed of only post-grad-
uatc high school courses and we're open
only one day week, Saturday.
Associated with Thomas Hunter in the
early upbuilding Of Hunter College was
the famous Lydia F. Wadleigh, for
whom Wadleigh High Schoon in New
York was named. Another noted cdu-
Gator who aided him in the early years
was Julia Richman. whose name also
desienatcs a high school in New York.
Thomas Hunter died in 1914. shortly
after the name of the college had been
changed from "Normal College" to
Hunter College'
The president of Hunter now is Dr..
George Samler Davis, a graduate Of the
College of the City of New York.

'Moonshiners' Pour
Their Potent Flood
Into West Virginia
Output of Illicit Stills In
cludes Plain Poison, but
All Is Warranted to Con-
tain the Priced 'Ekick"

CHARLESTON, W. Va. Jan. "a
The illict connection Of "kick"- -produc-
ing liquors, ranging from rank poison
up to the best grades of corn liquor
all designated generally as moon
shine whisky" has been very largely
on the increase in West Virginia since
the wartime prohibition became etfec-
tive last July, according to Walter S
Hallanan, the State Prohibition Com
missioner.
This Is indicated by the records OF
the department for the last twelve
months, which show a gradual decrease
IN the number of "booteggcr" arrests
from 1873 in January, 1919, to 61 in De
cember; decline Of fully Is per cent
IN the amount Of bottled red whisky
contiscated, and in the gradual increase
IN the number of "moonshine" stills
seized by the officers
A total of 1923 persons charged
either with "hootlegging" or "moon-
shining" was arrested during the year;
4o,25o pints of whisky mostly brought
IN from outside the state, was conls-
Gated, three-f -fourths of it before July
1, and 1885 "moonshine" stills we're
seized in the last eight months of the
year, none being recorded in the re-
ports before May.
The monthly departmental records
show: January-Arrests, 1888; whisky
confscated, 5000 pints February
Arrests, 151; whisky confscated, 1900
pints. March-Arrests, 1903; whisky,
2,400 pints. April-Arres SITS, 1926; whisky,
$500 pints. May-Arrests, 1902; whisky,
l,700 pints; "moonshne" stills seized,

The casualties OF the Illicit liquor
traffic in the state last year. however,
we're more serious than the figures in
dicatc, Mr.. Ilallanan said since several
persons lost their lives. including the
IN moonshiners" and officers killed in
raids or as the results of raids, and
persons who died as the result of
drinking some of the poisonous concoc-
tions which are being sold for "moon-
shine" whisky.

no abundance of coal in the state now
and sone dealers state that their sup
ply Is running low, but they take a

There IS a big demand for coal lo-
raEy, but the month OF September is
expected to bring big improvement I'M
he fuel situation. The coal dealers
iave welcomed the efforts made by
The Interstate commerce commission
TO alleviate the situation but they state
that they do not yet see the benefits
in this section. The 1. CT c. recently
ordered that all open-top cars be sent
to the coal mines until August 21. Ad-
vices from other parts of the country
state that the good results OF this ef-
fort are already being felt. The gov
eminent is now moving coal into the
Great Lakes section. where the short
age has been very great and the ef-
fects almost disastrous. Telegraphic
advices from Washington are TO the
effect that the New England states are
clamoring for fuel also, and that this
section will be supplied next. 1t is
not expected that any large Improve
ment in the coal situation will be felt
in the South until September, but
coal dealers do not fear for the supply

The railroads operating into Cohim-

Office OF the superintendent of the
southern that they have plenty Of
coal and are better situated with re-
gard to fuel than they have been for
long time. They keep at least forty
eight hours ahead in supply, it id
stated. and 1t is not now necessary to
take coal CONSIGNED TO dealers for rail-
road needs. This practice has not
