AS a result of the peculiar emer-
Sency in 1920, the state of Indiana,
thru its legislature, passed a bill in
July, 1920, creating a food and fuel
commission with powers to fix prices
and TO control distribution. This COM
mission, as usual concentrated its eff
forts on the coal industry, started an
Investigation, and after voluminous
testimony fixed prices for coal.
Results of the work of this commits

OF disturbance in the industry; second.
naturally many Indiana operators
found it advantageous to sell their
coal in other states and consequently
a. considerable number of large coal
retailers in Indiana stocked up with
coal purchased at higher prices than
would have normally been paid for

adjoining fields. Finally. coal opera
tors took the matter into court and
the courts enjoined the commission
from executing its arbitrary powers.
s In 1920 and in the early months of
1921. the coal situation passed very
rapidly from a period of extreme
scarcity to a period of surplus coal.
As a result largely OF the interference
OF the state government. many coal
dealers found themselves with sup

treasury department that during the
month of January the citizens of Kan

places the state very close to first

sense of humor is not strong. and it
never extends to practical jokers, and

Girls like men who know how to do
things. There is nothing that appeals
to a woman like a sense of being pro-
tected, of being with a man who knows
how to take care of her. That's where
the man of the world inevitably scores

can get them thru a crush without
their being knocked about. who can
always get a taxi, or a table at a res

who is always having arguments, and
