CHRISTMAS SEALS

shown at Pennington tomorrow
night when the film Is rum during
the moving picture performance
at the Pennington High School.
When the slide is shown Miss
Roxie Downs, fifth grade pupil Of
Pennington, will deliver a four
minute talk to the audience.
When the slide Is shown at the
Opera House Saturday night Miss
Madge Harrison, also pupil In
the fifth grade at Harrington,
will speak for four minutes in re-

Before the Christmas seal, tub.
erculosis work, such as existed,
was supported almost entirely
through membership dues and
donations. Efforts were made by
state associations to assess local
groups, definite percentage OF
their membership dues, but In no
case did this plan prove effective.
Any attempt on the part OF
state groups to secure member
ships In local communities result
ed in antagonism OF local groups
and the weakening Of work in
those cities and town. This has
been the experience since the
Christmas seal has been develop
ed as we'll. ,ll
Response to Stamps.
The inherent weakness Of a
membership appeal for a COM
munity agency, such as local
tuberculosis association, lies In
the fact that relatively small
proportion of any city or town
are interested In Joining a. group,
even IL the dues are nominal.
Membership, also, implies a con-
tinuing obligation, which some
people are loath to assume. Fur
thermore, the expense OF secu:-
ing, In the first instance, and fol-
lowing up, In the second, a large
membership is excessively high.
A middle western community for
example, anumber OF years ago
after a strenuous effort In which
It was supported by the leading
daily newspapers, secured about
i've thousand members at 81
each. The expense of securing
and maintaining this membership
proved to be excessive and after
a years experience the Christ
mas seal was found to be the
best method OF raising money.
Thousands of people will buy
Christmas seals because they can.
get them In small quantities aud
because they are something de-
finite tangible. A relatively
small plumber will buy a mem-
bership. ~ ,s1.

CUMBERLAND. Nd. Dec. T.
This city, noted for It's heavy wa

The supply, twenty-one feet below

ty-three loads off the Monongah
Division and eight cars Off the
division to Arlington Pier.
Railroad Fuel
Railroad fuel on Wednesday at
42S cars OF the Monongah Diyl-
sion was running just fourteen
loads heavier than the previous
day. The increase was due to
foreign roads obtaining more coal.
Yesterday the foreign carriers OBJ
tanned 274 cars. while the. B. & O..
got the 154 remaining cars.
Every car Of coal loaded OF the
M. G W. yesterday was railroad
fuel, showing conclusively that
assigned cars are predominatin2.
There we're 144 cars of railroad
fuel loaded there. Fitty-stw cars Of
w. NJ. fuel were loaded off the
Belington & Weaver branch. Rail-
roads obtained twenty-nine cars OF
coal of the Cumberland Division,
all Of which was got BY foreign
roads except three cars. Eighteen
cars Of railroad fuel were secued
off the Charleston Division yester-
day. and Of that. thirteen cars
were obtained by the B. & o,
Eastern Loading
Eastern coal loading of the
Monongah Division yesterday con-
sisted OF 697 cars; off the Char
lesion Division IS; of the Con-
nellsville Division 2 cars; off the
Cumberland Division, 81 cars; off
the M. G X, 81 cars; of the B. e
W. Al cars; Oh the W-B G II. R.
141 cars.
Western loading was confined
to 159 cars on the Monongah Dr.
vision: 80 cars of the Charleston
Division and 6 cars of the B e

by a wagon mine off the NJ. q X.
yesterday.
Prices Way OF.
The coal market is at a low ebb
In Northern West Virginia today.
It showed soma signs Of recovery
on Tuesday. but on Wednesday and
today the levels were lower than
ever. In some instances the price
Of coal was down to $2.25 to $2.35,
reaching point, where the opera.
tor, will be getting close to the cost
Of production, especially for a time
like at present when the car sup.
ply Is not full. sl.
With the coal production over
the year not as large as some for.
mer years, because Of the strike.
coal operators are unable to under.
stand the general trend OF the mar.
ket It Is thought that the impo..
tation OF British coal has been more
OF an important factor In price de.
probation in the east than hereto.
fore and here and there in spots
the coal stocks are heavy.
Just why the price levels are go
low on the Monongahala Railway.
where cars have been scarce ali
week, and chiefly assigned cars on
the M. & W., coal operators are at
loss to figure out.

Hopeful Developments Re.
Elected in Sales on New
York Stock Exchange.

NEW YORK, Dec. 7-prices
continued their move to higher
ground in today's stock market.
High priced industrial shares
made the largest gains. Rails
again Jagged behind the general
list. Secretary MELONS report
was construed in the financial dis
trict as a bullish factor, sentiment
also being Influenced BY the more
favorable domestic trade condi..
tons, as Influenced by increased
car loadings and the latest earn
ings reports, and a more hopeful
outlook abroad. Sales approxi-
mated 100000 shares.
The closing was irregular. Real.
izing sales in some quarters caused
material recesslons in number OF
the leaders, particularly studobak.
err in the late afternoon dealings.
Bullish operations, however, vera
continued in other parts OF the list,
strength Of corn products and Cos.
den OIL being the late feature.
Kesley Wheel, Peoples Gas and
California Petroleum were con
sptcuous all yielding / to 4 points.

- So ANNA0SAN -
Strange how men will take to
drink to drown their troubles,
and women will, drown theirs In
tears, but SO It has ever been, as
far as we can recall, but we hope
1t won't be SO It'll the end OF
time. no.
That is one Of the points
brought out in "Manslaughter,' q
featured at the Nelson all week,
and with which some folk take ex-
ception, for they wonder why the
hero, as played by Thomas Meeg.
han, could not do his duty as he
saw it-eyen though It was TO
prosecute the girl he loved
without taking Immediately to
drink, but that is Just what he
did, and kept at It until she was
released, and saved him from to-
tai ruin. M 500
We were sorry too, for he was
such a fine, manly and honss-to-
goodness fellow, who carried out
the law to the letter, because he
ha dsworn- to do so.
1t Is a story that Is amazing in
many respects, for II tells the I'M
vanished truth without COM
promise, and the players who pre-
sent It, are all terribly In earnest
in every scene In. their effort to
drive the truths home.

Guess what l found at the "F1or.
ence Shop" which by the way is
one of the most delightful shops IN
the city-why, a wonderful bath
powder, which actually softens the
water and at the same time impar.s
a wonderful fragrance to the water
and incIdently to the body. 1t Is
the product Of the French concern,
which manufactures the "Amami',
luxuries especially for the Queen
Of the Belgians-also an after bath
powder; which, busted over the
body following the bath. closes the
pores, soothes, refreshes and per.
fumes the skin. The Amami {faca
powders are also delightful. |
think these powders would make
wonderful Christmas gifts or card
