Hoover Heads Coal
Control Committee

President Harding has set in mo-
tion the federal emergency fuel con-
troll organization with the selection
of central coal distribution commit
tee of government officials under the
Craftsmanship of Secretary Of Com
merce Herbert Hoover.
The commerce secretary, at the
request of the president, Immediate
ly wired governors of the various
states asking them to set up emer-
gency state organizations as the
first step toward decentralizing or
ganization for equitable distribution
an dmaintenance of fair prices for
coal under the administrations plan.
"Under this plan," Hoover said,
"the distribution for railway use will
be directed from Washington, but,
with the possible exception of a few
state public utilities, the responsible
ity for all other distribution will rest
upon organizations set up under the
state control"
Cooperation of state organizations
also was asked by Interstate Com
merce Commissioner Atchison, who
telegraphed the several transporta-
ton regulatory bodies of the states
east of the Mississippi river request
ing them to act as representatives of
the commission in facilitating opera
ton of the emergency service orders
giving priority to the shipments of
coal and necessities.
The federal coal distribution COM
mittee selected by the president con-
sists of Attorney General Daugherty,
Secretary of the Interior Fall and
Secretary Hoover and Commissioner
Atchison, or their representatives,
under the temporary craftsmanship
of the commerce secretary.
A fifth member is to be added to
the committee later, Mr.. Hoover said,
who will undertake the administra-
ton direction, while the ultimate
character of the organization must
depend on the situation"
This was taken at the commerce
department to indicate that the CON-
mittee would be an elastic body with
administrative sides representing the
railroads or geographical sections,
pressed into service as expert advice
on the needs of those sections may
be required.

REPORTED MISSING" GIVES
OWEN MOORE BIG CHANCE

Owen Moore's long motion picture
career has included many successes,
but it is doubtful if he has ever be-
fore reached the heights he does In
the Selznick special, Reported Miss
ing" which will be at the Tabb The
atre next Tuesday. This is a picture
which absolutely lives up to the slo.
gan adopted for it. namely, "the
greatest action picture ever made"
Owen is the center of more amusing
and thrilling scenes that it has ever
before been his good fortune to take
part in. In the laugh-producing mo-
ments of the picture he is ably as
sisted by the genial Tom Wilson,
long a standby with d. W. Griffith.
Wilson is a master of comedy and
has acquired the fine art of inspiring
enjoyment as few men have. 6
In addition to the comedy incidents
in which Owen Moore figures. he is
the principal in a number of thrilling
scenes which the makes of serial
thrillers may well envy Some Of
these shockers are the race between
the Sea Sled Broadway III and
hydroeroplane. Moore is in the sea.
plane and the very villainous Orien.
tai ship master is the sea sled. The
sled wins and upon reaching dry
land the Chinaman makes use of an
automobile. Moore gives chase in an
other machine and is overtaking his
rival when a child crosses his path.
In an attempt to steer clear of the
youngster Moore throws his machine
over an embankment. Another Incl.
dent which smacks of the real Drury
Lane melodrama is the fight in the
stronghold of the Oriental schemers.
Here is a battle which is worth the
price of admission alone. If you

Low Insurance
On Leaf Urged

Lower insurance rates on tobacco
in barns may grow out Of a move
ment started some time ago, state
representatives now being engaged
in working out plan to present the
matter of lower rates to the Ken.
lucky Fire Insurance Underwriters
Association August 1.
In addition to a lower rate it was
said yesterday that an agreement
practically has been reached to in,
crease considerably the amount OF
insurance allowed on tobacco, the
proposed maximum being approx
mately s25 to $500 an acre, which is
about twice the amount allowed per
acre last year.
The proposal for lower rates is
credited to what one of the state
agents called "the systematic and
business-like methods of handling to-
bacco used by the Burley Tobacco
Growers Cooperative Association" /"
S. B. Kennedy, of the Westchester
Fire Insurance Company, is head Of
the committee working on this prop
osition, which also will include a
central adjustment bureau for the
prompt settlement of any claims Of
growers on policies ntObacco in
the barns.
The proposal for lower rates on
insurance in barns, it was said by
one of the state agents, it not justi-
fed by experience of the companies
for the past FIVE years with the class
of business, as it has not proved a
particularly profitable class, but the
business-like system of the new Bur
ley Association is said to have i'm
pressed the insurance men. and the
great increase in price over a year
ago caused the decision to increase
the maximum of insurance allowed
the growers.
