COAL SITUAT|ONIS
 EXPLAINED T0CLUB
RotarianS Told That Conn. Short.
 age Will Be 100000 Tons

That the coal situation Is more se- rious than the majority Of people be- lleve 1t to be and that there Is ex- pected to be a shortage of over 7.o00,- 900 tons of anthracite and bituminous coal in the state of Connecticut this coming winter, were the opinions ex- pressed this noon by c, L. Eyanson, secretary of the Connecticut Manu- lecturers association in his address before the members of the New Brh- ain Rotary club at the Shuttle Meadow club.
 MT. Eyansons talk was timely and interesting and was well received by the club members and guests. In ex- plaining the present situation the speaker said that there Is practically no bard coal being mined at all in the United States and there is not a great deal of soft coal being mined.
 Unless the strike ends within the next few weeks. Mir. Eyanson said that 1t might be a possibility that soft coal would be used for house. hold purposes this winter. This could be done, the speaker stated, by
 
 stoves and following instructions for the burning of that kind of coal.
 Speaking of the distribution of coal for the fall and winter months if the strike continues, Mir. Eyanson said that the federal government takes care of that line of work throughout the country and sends the coal into the various states The state authori- ties take care of the distribution after this time.
 State Distribution.
 The state distribution of coal will be entirely in the hands of the gov ernor although 1t is possible that a commission will be appointed, the speaker added. and local distributors will be appointed for various districts in the state. In this way, it was ex- plained. the local distributor will ask the state distributor for coal and the latter will in turn ask the federal au- thorities for the coal who in turn will seek the coal in the mine The speaker said that by this method one could readily see that 1t will take long time to secure even small amount of coal.
 Mr. Eyanson said that it has also been learned that the public utilities will be cared for as we'll as the house. holds before the manufacturers and then the larger manufacturers before the smaller ones.
 To Meet at Club.
 The members of the Rotary club voted to hold their meetings in the future at the Shuttle Meadow club and not at the Elks club as in the past. President Leon also stated that the local club will be in, charge of the breakfast at the conclave in New London on Tuesday morning, Septem- Der 12 and he urged as many Ro- tarians as possible to attends
 The meeting next week will be held at the Boy Scout camp at Rainbow at o'clock. The noon-hour lunch con will be omitted.

new WAY TO REMOVE

Department. Of Agriculture Recon-
mends Coating With Thick Selu-
tion of Rubber Solvent That
Evaporates Easily.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
Leather goods that have been made
unsightly by grease spots and that
cannot be cleaned by ordinary clean
ing solutions can often be restored by
methods developed by the bureau of
chemistry of the Upited States Depart
m1ht of Agriculture. When shoes,
travelling bags, and similar articles
Come IN Contact with butter, lard.
vaseline, linseed oil, salad oil, lubri-
eating oil, or anything Of the same
sort, ugly stains are produced, espe-
cially if the leather is of light color,
and attempts to remove them with
gasoline or other ordinary grease SOL
vents result in spreading them.
The method recommended by the de-
partment consists in coating the spots
with thick solution of rubber in a
solvent that evaporates readily and
peeling OF the coating when it is al
most dry. In some cases it may be
necessary to repeat the operation sew
eral times. A solution of unyulcan-
lied rubber para or Ceylon) in car
bon bisulphide, in the proportion of
part to 10 parts by weight, as well as
some of the prepared rubber cements,
has been found satisfactory. 1t is
important that the cement be very
thick and quick drying, and that pure
solvent be used. Since the fumes Of
carbon bisulphide are very intlam-
mable and poisonous, 1t is necessary
to work away from flames and where
there is good ventilation. To keep
the rubber from adhering too tightly
the leather Immediately around the
spot may be wet slightly just before
applying the rubber solution.
Milk produces spots on leather on
account of the fat it contains. In addi-
tion it often leaves white residue,
and sometimes a dark stain. The
white residue may be removed with
soap and water, but no way Is known
for taking out the brown stain. The
only way to improve the appearance
of leather so damaged is TO dye it
darker than the original color.
Any oil or grease spot should be re-
moved as soon as possible. 1t is espe-
cially important that spots caused by
lipseed and other paint oils be re-
moved before the oil dries, since the
,xidized oils are but slightly soluble
in the liquids ordinarily used.
