COX CALLS PUBLIC ATTENTION ID NEED
 OF LAYING IN COAL
Gives Out Margin of Profit or Retail Yards and From Delivery From Cars With
 No Other Expenses
By FRED H. GoRMLEy Montgomery Bureau, The Ager Herald 221-2 First National Bank Building

Montgomery. July CSpecial)- Consumers of domestic coal in Ala bama were urged in public state ment issued Saturday by Roy R. Cox, acting state. fuel administrator. to place their contracts for the coal they will need this winter and were warned that unless deliveries of coal start at once the mines and retailers will be unable to supply the needs of the state when cold weather comes.
 Fuel Administrator Cox called att tention to the fact that coal mines are running an average of only two days week because retailers are un- able to place with the consumers, be- cause the consumers are refusing to place their orders for their winter s supply. MT. Cox said the hope of cheaper coal prices will remain a forlorn one until there is a better movement and he cited the fact that the overhead expenses of the coal mines and the retailers are as great during a period of idleness as they are during a period of great business. He said he believed prices would De cheaper if there could be a normal movement
 Retail Yard Margin
 Announcement also was made tnas e gross margin of profit for the retafl yards had been set, the average TOT Birmingham, Mobile and Montgomery being ss.3O ton. A sliding scale or margins has been provided Tn the hope that this will cause the move ment of coal into the bins without great delay. The margin in Birmins ham. Montgomery and Mobile for Au- gust will be s3.1o, for September s3.2o. for October s3.So, for Novem- ber $40. and for December $S.5o.
 In all other towns in Alabama hay ing a, population of 5000 and over the retailers margin of profit will pc s2.so and in towns of 5000 and up 10 S 900. the margin will be s2,oo. Where a dealer does not operate a coal yard, but delivers coal from .ne car to the consumerf, profit or VI a ion plus unloading and dehVers charges will be permitted.

 History is said to be based largely on legends and rumors, and this old Indian legend will form the basis of an historical pageant which will de- pict the growth and progress of the city from its old trading post days up to the present time.

 Many professional collectors and buyers from France, England and America came here for the sale but declared they could not compete with native bidders who ran prlces up into millions as honehalantly as if bidding in hundreds.
