Coal Is Hungnry's Need.

Hungary's greatest present need
is coal. Her mines at maximum
output do not produce enough for
the demand and the government has
not been able to secure a foreign
supply. Also through a mistaken
estimate the government has over
sold for export more than the sur
plus of wool production, leaving a
domestic shortage.
A further reduction in the value
of the mark has increased prices in
Germany to the consumer. On the
other hand it has increased foreign
buying of machines, toys, china,
etc. But manufacturers are. handi-
capped for lack of coal and are
forced to use such other fuels as
they can get. In foodstuffs the oats,
potato and sugar beet crops were
good. but bread grains were disap-
pointing. No increase in the bread
ration Is expected. while Germany
must buy 100000 tons for food
stuffs, most of this probably from
the United States. The standard
flour is now so parts wheat flour.
30 parts rye, 10 barley and 10 corn
meal. The ration of full milk has
been decreased, but condensed and
evaporated milk are now free.
The reported purchase by Soviet
Russia of 100000, 900 gold marks of
German locomotives, 1t Is believed,
will soon be closed. The amount
of purchase money is to be placed
in some foreign country. subject to
Germany'seorder, in the purchase Of
foods and necessities. Because of
the financial situation many large
banking and industrial concerns in
all parts of the empire have been
consolidated. This will have a
steadying and quiettng effect ON the
political situation.

a new hat. In time of trouble when
one must contemplate a long school
year ahead, at the end of a blissful

ones mind off the dullness of algebra
and the trials OF Latin.

going away to school and under the
supervision Of a discriminating mother
she will be provided with just enough
clothes, simply designed, well and
smartly made. Her millinery will in

simple dress or demi-dress affair.
There is a good example Ct this sort
of hat at the left of the group Of
