mage produced along the Monou'
gah division of the B. & o. went
abroad through Curtis Bay. This
does not include the tonnage that
went to Port Richmond, Port Read
ing, Port Liberty, st. Georges and
other piers. With these included
probably Is to Is per cent. OF the
tonnage went for export business
on the division. During the last
seventeen days OF December the
probabilities are that 1880 cars OF
coal will be shipped to Curtis Bay,
which would run the Curtis Bay
shipments of the B. & o. R. R. up
to 3S,414 cars or 1902 cars strong
err than the banner month Of pro.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. aggregat'
ed 25,372 cars OF coal and coke.
The biggest month for exporting
was July when the Curtis Bay
shipments were 44S9 carloads.
April was a close second at 4,43S
carloads, while October was strong
ut 4,153 carloads.
The Lake Trade.
Lake business on the Monongah
division OF the B. & o. R. r. dur
ing the 1920 season aggregated To-
$50 cars or 794,40O tons. While
this was 1893 cars or 84,66O tons
heavier than the season of 1918 1t
was 745 cars or 1880 tons shy
Of the season of 1918. AS a whole
the season may not be regarded as
big for the Fairmont region as the
bulk of the fuel sent to the lakes
was forced there by the priorities
orders Of the Interstate Commerce
commission. If the Fairmont re-
gion is to be In the running on the
lake business In the future it Will
be necessary for reimbursement OF
freight differentials so as to more
eaualize the rate from this field
with the all-rail rate Of the Indiana
and Illinois fields. Plans are I'M
der way now to have this accom-
plished with the coal, coke and iron
commission of the chief trunk lines
engaged in lake business.
The biggest month for lake ship
ments was October when there
were 4,545 cars of coal sent there.
The next highest was August at
3,479 cars. Consignments by
months were as follows: April,
500 cars; May, $50 cars; June,
SO4 cars; July, 1920 cars; Au'
gust, 1919 cars; September, S,146
cars; October, 4,546 cars; No,
vember, 1874, cars; December, q
cars.
The price for lake coal opened at
50 and at times was up to 81, and
some event went as low as $3.50
and a. The bulk sold in the neigh
borhood Of SIS.
The first lake coal was shipped
out of the region on April 15, when
the Consolidation Coal company
shipped 40 cars OF coal. This con
Germ, which is the largest lake
shippers out of the Fairmont re-
gion, sent Approximately $500 cars
OF coal to the lakes, but 1t was not
regarded a big season for 1t. The
last tonnage to the lakes from here
was sent BY the Valley Camp Coal
company on December 4. The ap'
portionment for lake shipments
from the region was 1870 cars daily
off the B. & o. and 80 cars daily
OF the Monongahela in West Vir'
ginia. On October 4 the Inter
state Commerce commission in
creased the proportion OF mines

AND SONG ARE
 FEATHERS AT LOEW'S

N hiie the programme at Loew s BiJou this week is composed mostly of danc- ing or teats with jokes interspersed, there is some good music and one en- tire act of singing. This act is decidedly the headliner. 1t is billed the Three Weston Girls" and they sing in trio and separately. Their songs are mostly of the popular ballad style. An instru- mental revue played on comets and vlo- lin and piaI/ solos compete a thor oughly musical number.
 Next in prominence and popularity with the audience were Tilyou and Rog CTS. They gave a very original get-otf on the '-follies' of old age. Their shafts of wit were good. and they danced with great agility some dances which repre- sented two elderly men dancing

 are almost too artistic for suitable vaude- vile stuff. Their dancing is the Rus sian style and is what might te called thrilling. They could give a perform ance by themselves, but do not find the appreciation they deserve in vaudeville audiences, who are usually seeking lighter amusement than the classical dancing.

MINIATURE ARTISTS

 When the curtain rises upon these three miniature sisters, one is remind ed of elfs or fairies. However, their dollish appearance does not prevent them from offering varied selection of songs, dancing and small talk.
 Next to the Hoy Sisters comes Dora Hilton, the girl with the golden voice." Her voice is rich. clear and full of color. She sang a number of selections and then responded to a couple of encores. The musical side of the programme was further enhanced by Sully and Soughton. clever comedy couple.

LOWER CALIFORNIA
 DISPUTE SETTLED
By Associated Press

Mexical. Lower California, August 16.- Conclusion of negotiations looking toward settlement of the instruction in the northern district of Lower Cali fornia waits on the arrival of certain for nal papers from Mexico City, according to statement made today by Governor Estaban Cantu.
 Unofficially it was admitted that nego- tiations had been closed and that Gen. Luis Nj. Salaza would succeed Colonel Cantu as governor in abou. week after the arrival of his commission to that office
 The delay. it was said, was advisable to prepare the territorial government and the people to accept the change quietly
 Representatives of the territorial and of the provisional central government de- clared the change probably would mean the end 0f gambling and other conces- sions.

make photographic records for use oy the democratic national committee in enlisting the support of organized labor the United States.
 From the most intimate source this correspondent ascertains the above facts. There is no question but that MT. Gompers has agreed to support the ticket actively. It is not regarded as probable that he will fail to make good his promises,
 Despite the strength of reds, l. w. W.'s, anarchists, communists ana pro Germans in the ranks of organized labor, which element supposts the re- publican ticket, and over which Presl- dent Gompers has no control, the dem ocratic leaders do not hesitate to ad- init belief that MT. Gompers will do the national ticket a great deal or good. Up to the present time, MT. Gompers has contented himself with state ment that the democratic platform IS preferable to the republican platform; that the democrats more nearly re- sponded to the full demands of labor than the republicans, and that the dem ocratic pronunciamento was akin to a bill of rights, whereas that of the re- publican party. from labors standpoint, was entirely unsatisfactory.
 But MT. Gompers also contended that the American Federation of Labor was non-partisan and as such could not ac- lively take sides in the impending bat tie. An individual, however, is not. and Mir. Gompers concludes that as an in- dividual, he has the perfect right to take any position he thinks proper
 It is not known just when MT. Com pers will make his appearance. But in the very near future he will begin his talks to the photograph.

LETS BE FASHIONABLE"
 AT THE STRAND

The feature showing at the Strand, Let's Be Fashionable, is inimitably droll and witty, both in plot and act ing. Two popular actors. Douglas M g. Lean and Doris May, are in leading roles. It is almost impossible for any other to assume the comically helpless and hopeless air that Is one of the greatest laugh producing arts of Douglas Mclean.
 Doris May is the most ruinously i'm nocent looking 'girlie girl' on the screen. The two talented comedy act ors form a combination that would be hard to surpass.
 In Let's Be Fashionable" the ca reer of an am bilious young couple who decided to be fashionable is hilariously presented After several experiences in kindred soulsm" and affnities. the couple make the wise decision that it Is better to be happy than 1t is to be fashionable. The entire picture is noticeably free from the blase type of humor. The laughs which are certain to be continuous through the showing, are produced by the real fun of ths story.
