COAL MAY ARRIVE
IND|STR|CT NOW
Suspension of Priority Order
for New England Opens
Supply to D. C.

The order issued by the Interstate
Commerce Commission yesterday sus-
pending priority in shipment of coal
i by water to New England may have
a direct bearing on increased ship
ments of coal to the District of CO.
lumbia. The priority on shipments
to New England was put into effect
several weeks ago with the UNDER
standing that every effort should be
made to relieve the New England coal
shortage and give that section an OPP
portunity to prepare for the coming
winter. Washington was regarded as
being sufficiently near the coal fields
to obtain supplies later without great
hardship and without danger Of
coal famine.
Priority of coal shipments to the
northwest was ordered continued in
definitely, and the general orders of
1.-The commission granting priority to
definitely. Under it's previous order
the priorities would have terminated
today.
| The order giving priority to coal
shipments to New England by water
gave preference to coal shipments
" IfSOV,uVU
tons of coal monthly to New England
through tidewater ports.
THE action of the commission" the
commission announced, lis based upon
a thorough review of the coal Situa-
| ton, and was taken with the ac-
quiescence of the New England coal
committee and because the coal situa-
| ton in New England had improved
sufficiently so that the present contin-
uance of this emergency order is re-
garded as unnecessary. Whether the
order giving preference will later be
irevived will depend upon the future
course of coal production and move
ment."
| Priority of movement of coal to
public utilities. public institutions and
/ ice plants, ordered about three months
| ago, was modified by the Interstate
Commerce Commission to provide that
the priority shall apply to public
utilities and ice plants only when such
concerns supply the public wholly.
| The commission denied the request
of the steel industry that open-top cars
/ with sides of forty-two inches or less
be exempted from the coal car prefer
ence order. Representatives of the
steel industry in appearing before the
commission declared that such an ex-
emption would release many cars for
the movement of steel, which, it was
said. was an urgent need.
| The request of the packing industry
for preference in the matter of coal
| Supply also was denied,

ELINOR GLYN IS TRAILING
SUPERLOVER ON BROAD ST.
British Wrter Says American Men Are to Be Perfect Lotaro
of the Future u

The Perfect Lover has an American
address which Elinor Glyn, the Eng
lish writer, who stopped in Philadelphia
this afternoon, Is going to locate in
one Of the city directories of the U. s.
A. before she goes back to Merrie
England.
Miss Glyn, who arrived in New York
from Europe several days ago, suspects
that she will have to drag young Mr..
Lochinvar out Of the West, but she is
keeping her eyes open for him along
Broad, Chestnut and other prominent
streets in this locality.
She wants the perfect man for a
new hero for her books, to take the
place of the old type of hero who per-
ished In the war, for the great English
lover of her former writings disappeared
forever on the fields Of France.
Philadelphia Her Favorite City
She has turned to the United States
for the new perfect man. Today she
looked over Philadelphia, her favorite
American city, in the hope that she may
find him here.
He must have, according to the wire
less she flashed from her ship, the
chivalry Of Bayard, the strength OF
Samson and the intelligence and am
bition Of Napoleon.
Miss Glyn, so indelibly associated
with 'Three Weeks in the great
American mind, is a charming woman,
who has visited kings and queens, been
over all the world, holds as her most
cherished possession nickel badge de-
claring her to be a sheriff Of Rawhide,
New.
'The men of America in a short
time will be the most perfect in the
world, physically, mentally, culturally," "
she declared.
Men Are Amazing Now
"When I visited this country nine
years ago they were inclined to boast,
be crude in their actions, and wear box :
toed shoes and padded coats. Today
they are amazing in their progress.
They look and act and dress like Eu-
ropeans and they have a quality which
the men Of Europe can never regain.
| They are the most intelligent men
in the world, for the most part, because
they are always out to learn. They
always have been the most chivalrous.
IT do not know from what class or
part Of the country my new hero will
come. The finest men ever saw lived
in the mining camps of the West, but
mentally they were unpublished. 1t is
my hope that this same type of perfect
physical man will now be widely edu-
Gated and cultured through the growing
spread of college training in the United
States.
II should be bored to death in three
days with the most perfectly built man
