HUSBAND ADMITS
WRONG SAILOR WAS
NAMED IN DIVORCE
Court Permits Fireman to With
draw Accusation Against
Walton of Navy Yard.

From a host of sailors. whom he
alleged danced attendaDce on his wife,
George II. Nokes. fireman employed
by the Washington Terminal Com
pany, picked out the wrong COB TO
name correspondent in a suit for an
absolute divorce from Mrs. Ethel
Nokes.
The husband admitted this much
today in an amended bill for divorce
which Justice Siddons permitted him
TO file. The court is thereupon asked
to relieve the sailor mentioned of the
Job OF answering charges of miscon-
duct with Mrs. Nokes.
In the first petition, which was filed
by Attorney Alvin l.. Newmyer on
July "a, Nokes named Edward +. Wal
class at the navy yard. Someone told
him, the husband said, that Walton
was the name of the sailor involved
with Mrs. Nokes. Later, the husband
claims, he learned that Walton was
not the man at all.
The amended bill states that the
couple were married on January Z,
1916. and have one child, four years
old. which is now in the custody OF the
husbands mother. Mrs, Nokes Is &C
cused of being too much in the com
pany with sailors at dance halls and Is
charged with improprieties with them
at her home where she resides alone.
She alone knows the name OF the sailor
whose name should have been inserted
in the original bill instead of Waltons.

cuss the question of whether the
sight OF a girl eating green corn off
the cob Is liable to chill the love of

Our girl fans seem to be awaiting
the verdict, determined that they
will stand up for their rights to dis
please at a sitting without bother
ing whether their sweethearts do not
regard them as beautiful when en-
gagged in tearing the corn off the
cob.
SCHWAB thinks there Ia nothing
quite SO agreeable in girl as natur-

rather see pretty girl crunching on
an ear of corn than affectedly
manipulating a stuck-up grape

SHORTAGE OF HARD
COAL |SFEARED BY
| DISTRICT DEALERS
Public Urged to Buy Fuel Supply
Now In Face OF Hard
Winter.

Local coal dealers declared today
that they feared a fuel shortage here
next winter unless the public OF
Warrington begins co buy it's coal
now. A statement issued by the coal
dealers follows:
The situation with respect TO an
thrscite coal In the District is at
the presnt time remarkably serious
in the minds of local dealers. Sta
tistics reveal the fact that there was
shipped into the city during the first
ak months of this year 122. 900 tons
q normal year, such as 1918.
1t would seem that the local re-
quirements of anthracite coal should
at least kept pace with the gpc~th
of the city, but even admitting that
our needs for this year will not ex-
coed those Of 1918, q deficiency of
more than 10000 tons must be made
good within the remaining five
months of 1921. While Washington
itself has received 10000 tons less
this year, the entire Anthracite pro-
duction Is about 1,500,000 tons ahead
Of last year.
This shows that other parts of the
country have filled their bins and
that our own city is behind.
Knowing the situation Of the rail-
roads, with thousands Of idle freight
cars rusting, deteriorating and badly
in need of repairs, laid UP on sidings
and unfit for immediate use when the
demand comes. as 1t surely will, and
realizing the limited production Of an
thracite coal, the local dealers are fear.
full OF q very serious shortage Of this
fuel during the coming winter, and are
not only urging but almost imploring
their customers to buy coal now and
thus avoid an exigency that, In their
minds. il sure to 'arise.
1T Is claimed that the anthracite
buyer has everything to gain and moth.
Ing to lose by buying now as prices
have advanced in most instances 55
cents to 20 cents per ton over April
quotations, and there is every indica-
ton that q further advance of 25 cents
to 40 cents per ton may be expected
before the advent of winter. In fact,
! last winter some of the operators ad-
vanced their prices and exacted as
much as 81 per ton premium. The sea-
sonal freight rate question has been
put aside for this year. and as the oper-
ators have an agreement with the min
ers until April /, 1922. there does not
seem to be any likelihood Of any de-
crease. With the prospects of a very
cold and long winter after the extreme
iy hot summer, and on top Of the mild
winter just passed, there is no question
but what the operators will advance
their prices this fall.
Dealers yards are now we'll stocked,
and they are in position to deliver all
orders promptly upon receipt. 1t
would, therefore. seem that the public
should carefully consider this most i'm
portant matter. and 1t would do well II
1t took time by the forelock and bought
at least a generous portion OF its re-
quirements of anthracite coal now"
