COAL TRAFFIC JAM
MAY CUT SUPPLY
Of WINTERS FUEL
Government Officials Lay
Plans to Avert impending
Congestion in Fall.
BY international News Service.


Danger of a traffic jam on the
railroads the coming winter. caused
by late demands for coal supplies, are
now apparent TO Administration Off
Gals, and today they we're taking
urgent steps TO prevent complete
breakdown of the carriers in such an
emergency.
The crippled condition of the car
riers and their inability TO meet de-
mands above normal, was made the
basis Of study by members or the
cabinet In connection with the prob
able heavier resumption OF traffic in
late fall and early winter, especially
as relates to fuel supplies.
Officials said today that latest re.
ports of the condition Of the country's
railroads show that there has been an
increase of about 10 per cent in the
number of disabled cars on the va
rious lines since the beginning OF the
year. The carrying capacity OF the
roads Is now at it's lowest point, due
to the credit difficulties of the roads,
and the troubles which have rendered
II impossible for them to repair and
replace their worn-out equipment.
The coal situation, studied along
with other probable traffic demands,
reveals that despite the abundant sup
ply OF coal which will be available the
coming winter at the mines. the slow
ness of public utilities and other large
users among Industrial concerns, in
making ample provision now for the
future needs, may jeopa supplies
for the smaller consumers later on. It
is to prevent such a situation, with
it's possibilities Of profiteering in coal.
that the Administration has decided TO
act and bring about a more normal
distribution during the rest Of the
summer Of fuel supplies.

~Helen Of Troy

Helen any town, but particularly
so in Troy, "Helen of Troy" sister
in law to the King of Sparta, threw
nasty girder in her home circles.
Her eyes were of the gypsy type, row.
ing, her hair was of the hue of the
sun or moon, and in toot ensemble,
she was what the Greek candy mer-
chants called "some confectionery"
Helen was looking after her house
hold duties and those of her Princely
papa, when Paris, so named from the
long line of paresis bearing limbs of
his family tree, bore down on Sparta
in the first swallow tail-coat that
ever went unswallowed. Nifty of
physique with an athletic coastline
and the carriage of a whole livery
stable, Paris looked even giddier than
the town that pilfered his name and
as soon as Helen saw him, she tripped
and fell.
Troy of those days, like Troy of
these, was the laundry center of
Sparta and the women were supposed
to keep up very stiff front, NOR
ally speaking.
Disregarding this, Helen planned
with Paris and one night they stole
one of the kings cars and beat it to
Troy. The Greeks assembled their
gladiators and for ten years, beseiged
Troy. After all these years, the King
of Sparta got an idea The Trojans
were terribly childish and SO he
would play on their weakness, and
thus entered the famous Greek Hobby
Horse. The Trojans fell for the
horse-play Helen was retrieved and
returned to Sparta where she was
reconciled with her official husband
and as far as is known, all went we'll.
Where the son of Priam, King of
Troy, benefited is not shown; he de-
veloped and fattened Helen only to
lose her, which is hell-hence Helen
of Troy.

You will hear it said that such and
such magazine prints suggestive
stories, meaning that they present
corrupting ideas in an attractive

also of quite a different sort-the
suggestiveness that quic.kens the

sity, fortifies against yielding easily
to temptation 1t is this better kind
of suggestiveness that you will find
on almost every page of The Youths
