Girls and Their Interests
CONDUCTED RY HELEN Il. FErrEa.

|cNHE was only three years old,
and 80 hot and tired that the
IL damp ends Of her bobbed nut
brown hair ourled up like
petals from her dimpled little neck.
Her big violet eyes were full Of dia-
mond tears and great gusty sobs
welled up Al often a. she tried to
stop them.
The poor little girl was completely
worn out from going shopping and
her mother, who was buying some
little socks for her at bargain
counter in one Of Washington's large
department stores. was tired, too
quite at loss as to how to comfort
and relieve her little girl.
One of the playground directors was
also IN the store hunting bargains
for every one knows that playground
directors don't get very big salaries
and largo part Of their fine work
must be strictly philanthropic. She
saw the poor little girl and her heart
was won by the gasping sobs. Put
ting her bulky bundles down, she
bent over the child.
Don't you want to hear about the
Three Little Pigs?'" she said.
The little girl looked up. but being
unable to control her sobs, she could
only blink and rub grimy little fists
into her big eyes.
well, now" continued the director,
suppose you sit right down here on
the floor and I'll tell you all about
them. You see there were three lit
tie pigs who had to 60 out to earn
tIeir own living. Their poor old
mother Just couldn't support them
| any Longer"
The little girl, her wet eyes fas-
the door and relaxed with a great,
heaving sigh. The story continued
and the director was fascinated by
the deep attention 1t received. Every
expression that was mirrored in her
| face to convey the story to the child
was reflected on, the little ones face.
! The two were absolutely absorbed in
each other and the three little pigs.
Then followed the story Of the fox
Of laughter from the little girl began
to punctuate the tale. Suddenly, just
| at the end Of the second story, the di-
rector became conscious Of other
spectators and she looked up to dnd
| herself and the little girl completely
| surrounded by a circle of purchasers
and clerks from all the surrounding
| counters. listening just as intently
to this Aesop's fable as the little child
| before her.
Pan was right; we are all just
grown-up children. only some of US
don't know 1t and some won't ad-
! NIT it even though they know 1t.

HARD COAL SUPPLY

Fuel Commission Chief Says
There viii Be Enough

PHILADELPHIA, September g.
There will be enough anthracite coal
to meet the necessities of house,
holders IL they will carefully conserve
it. said W. D. B. Ainey. chairman Of
the Pennsylvania Fuel Commission.
1T must be borne in mind" Mr..
Ainey said. that IL will take at least

therefore during that month the sup
ply can only be distributed in small
allotments and where there are the
greatest necessities.
I'm order to meet the needs there
are certain localities where bitGmi.
nous coal can be substituted. That
substitution will in turn relieve the
anthracite situation.
"The committee on distribution, ap-
pointed At yesterday's conference in
this city with Secretary of Commerce
Herbert Hoover. will begin Its work
at once"
To Stop ProAteering.
In the matter Of anthracite coal
''the householder must and will be
protected" Mr.. Hoover declared last
night at the conclusion Of the hard
coal conference. The question of
price ts yet to BE- decided. but Samuel
D. Warrtner. president of the Lehigh
Coal and Navigation Company, and
others who attended the meeting said
there was no disposition among the
big operators" to seek unfair
When Mr.. Hoover was asked by
newspaper men If he was aware that
profit of more than q. dollar above
that which Mr.. Garfield established
as a fair profit during the war he re-
piled that there are some cases
worse than that" Whatever il
done. the Secretary of Commerce in
concern in the anthracite situation
was to see that the householder is
protected from pro1teering.

Cummins bill, now being debated in
Congress. shows that 1t intends to
curb profteering on anthracite"
Fair Price Report.
Mr.. Hoover indicated that 1t would
be largely the work of Mr.. Ainey and
his colleagues on the Pennsylvania
fuel commission to make a report
suggesting fair prices at the next an
thracite conference.
"I do not believe there Is any ef-
fort on the part Of the big operators
to get more than a fair price for
hard COAL" said Mr.. Warriner.
Upon the expected ratification of
the anthracite agreement at Wilkes
Barre. Mr.. Warrineh expressed the
opinion that it would be month
afterward before all the miners are
back at work and before production
again becomes normal. He was not
prepared to say to what extent oper.
ators could speed up production be-
yond normal in an effort to relieve
the anthracite shortage, but he spoke
| optimistically on that subject.

RUSSIA AND THE VIOLIN.

6Iss FLORENCE CHAMBERS of
lNl the playground department has
just learned the solution to a
problem that has bothered more than
one American-especiall those Amer
lean girls and women who are such
great admirers Of the young and
good-looking Jascha Heifetz, one of
the great violinists of today. Mr..
Heifetz, like many other skillful
violinists, Is of Russian ancestry and
came over to this country from
Poland, until the late war part OF
Russia.
Now the question in Miss Cham
bers' mind-and many others-was
this: Why are there SO many Rus
sian violinists and so few musical
geniuses from that country who have
some other instrument as their me-
dium Of expression?
The explanation, according to a
young Russian. himself violinist. is
this: The violin is comparatively
cheap instrument in that country
and it is easily carried about. AS
the Russian people have been used
for centuries to having to hustle out
Of their country for fear of officia1
exile. they do not favor anything
that is not portable. Wherefore the
popularity Of the violin and the rea-
SON that SO many OF the musical
geniuses of that country have play
ed this instrument in preference to
any other. Also, the rather weird
gusts of music which are typically
Russian are admirably adapted to
expression through the violin.
1t is for a similar reason that there
are so many Russians who come to
this country and go into the tailoring
business. In Russia there are few
ready-made clothing stores. The
people find it much preferable to
make their own clothing-suits. coats
and all. Wherefore this is some
thing that they can do very well, and
when they come here is means for
earning their livelihood.
