HARD COAL OUTPUT
IS Being CUT down
Drought in Anthracite Region
Causing Collieries to Suspend
NO RAIN in SIX MONTHS
Mount Carmel, Pa, Has TO Dispense
With Wash Days--Drinking Water
Is Sold on Strcets--Big Reservoirs
Empty-Nfines Supplied by Trains

Mount Carmel, Pa. Dec. 49,
Drought conditions in the anthracite
region threaten seriously to curtail
the hard coal output. Little rain has
fallen for six months One colliery
has suspended operations because OF
the scarcity of water and it is feared
others will have to do so unless there
is rain or snow soon.
Nearly all the collieries are getting
water by train from streams miles
ing this more difficult.
No More Wash Days.
Wash days in Mount Carmel were
dispensed with this week while
Shamokin. kulpmont, Marin Heights,
Ashland and Locust Gap are getting
water only at certain hours. Shamo-
kin is on a four -hour-a day service
with the pressure barely Sufficient to
carry water to the high points. Fresh
drinking water is being sold on the
streets by farmers, for the first time
in the history of the county.
The big Hauto reservoirs which
empty water for the Pennsylvania
Light and Power Co., are rapidly
drying up.
Fire Hazard Great.
While droughts are not uncommon
in this section during the summer,
this is the worst spell this section
ever saw. Many towns are limited
to running water but a half hour
each day.
Residents are much alarmed over
the fire danger, as there is little
water to be used in case of such a
catastrophe. The Mount Carmel
Water company is holding one res
eryoir for fire protection.
Much of Mount Carme's water is
purchased from other towns orScomcs
from mountain springs. The springs
are dried UP, and the supply fur
nished by other towns has been cut
rs per cent. Recently the Mount
Carmel Water company announced
that If all outside sources were shut
off, possibly there would be water
enough to supply the town for three
days. only.
In many towns and cities along the
Philadelphia and Reading Railway
the railroad is hauling water long
distances in tank cars.
Water Very Impure
In Philadelphia where much of the
water comes from. the Schuylkill
river, now lower than at any time in
its history, a report said yesterday
the water, filtered though it is, is
barely fit to drink.
One time navigable sections of the
Schuykill river are dangerously near
dry, while it is said one can walk
across the Susquehanna without get
ting into more than an inch or so Of
water, in many places.
Last week the Jeddo-H Highland Coal
successors to the George B.
Markle company shut down a coal
operation near HaZelton.
Mount Carmel is the source of con-
siderable of the Reading. Lehigh and
MADEIRA Hill and Company coal which
comes to New Britain. There is
ianger of coal mines shutting down
III over the region.
There has been little rain there
since last July.
People in this section of Pennsyl-
5ania have not been permitted to
sprinkle lawn or do any scrubbing
'ince last August.

STEEL PRODUCTS
ARE MOVING To
MEET DEMANDS
Trend Toward Better Bust
ness in Industrial and
Commercial Circles Un-
dergoes No Change

New York Oct 29.-(by the AS
ISOLATED Press) The trend toward
better business in industrial and
commercial circles has undergone
no apparent change during the
past week. Railway car loadings
remain close to the peak and plain
ly would be greater If the roads
could furnish and move larger
number of cars. Thus the excess
In the demand for freight cars as
compared with supply of October
Is, was, according to American
Railway association, 1861 cars
The effect naturally is to restrain
the movement of certain kinds 0f
traffic such as grain and to restrict
the mining of coal.
Nevertheless, this situation is not
as yet extreme and is considered
to have its compensations. Steel
products are moving in an amount
approximately equal to current pro.
duction and all essential needs or
consumers are reported as being
met. Soft coal production Is slight
ly higher The slowing down in the
grain movement has had sup
porting effect on prices.
Steel Output.
AS for the steel industry, output
is continuing to run slightly about
seventy per cent of capacity. Coke
and pig iron prices are lower and
the premiums offered for the
prompt delivery of steel products
have about disappeared.
With respect to farm products,
the movements OF the week were
somewhat irregular. Cotton pushed
ahead to new high records, the
December future selling materially
about % cents a pound. Grain lost
part of the recent advance through
profit taking, Optimism based on
reports of foreign shortages has
been restrained by an appreciation
of the restricted nature Of foreign
purchasing power.
Money Is Firmer.
Money continues to display its
firmer tone, Ms is consistent with
EXPANDED trade activity. IT is con-
sidered that the demands incidental
to the latter have caused the with
drawal Of funds from securities and
that this has been big factor

a good cook is not in the ability

put the evenly sliced bacon into a

the bacon with fork to try the

III EAR2lI!;s..eH 9lMEP @Es DBL EMS =

Dear Mrs. Thompson Il have
been keeping steady company with
the ONE perJon for a year. Dur
ing this time we haven't talked of
marriage until the last month. /
am twenty and SO don't think he
is my first beau. Everyone thinks
he loves me, but l am not so sure.
In every way he proves he does,
with this eption:-although in
position where we could in a
short time marry he insists that
marriage will be a calamity. He
says he has seen so much of mar
ried life that he would rather
have me loving him than married
to him and hating him. He says
that it eventually leads to hate.
You know that with girl it is
only natural to want home with
some one to love, and l love him.
Why does he feel this way? He
doesn't care to so with anyone
else. He thinks all other girls are
ridiculous. / am real sure he loves
me, but l can't understand his at
titude. Would 1t be best to con-
tinue the same as always? l am
content to do this, because l know
can never love another as love
him. l want to show him your
andwer. TROUBLED.
There are two sides to life-the
bright and the sordid, and what
one accepts as truth depends upon
his attitude toward it, what he
sees in life. Your sweetheart has
been unfortunate enough to get
a bad impression of marriage; he
sees only the unhappy side and
has not opened his eyes to the
possibility of happy marriage. His
ideals have been shattered and he
needs to be awakened to new
vision.
To be satisfied with love with
out fulfillment would be cheating
life. Your sweetheart is extreme
ly selfiJh in wanting you to be
satisfied with the mere knowledge
that you love each other. If he
placed your happiness ahead of
his own he would want to marry
you and to make home for you,
since that is what you desire.
Marriage Is happy when each
loves the other enough to make
sacrifices for the happiness of the
other. Unless your sweetheart is
willing to do the thing which will
bring happiness to you, and that
is to marry you, do not see him
any more. 1t will be hard for you
to give him up, Of COURSE, but 1t
is the only thing to do. You are
young and the wound will heal.
He may argue that it is selfishness
for you to insist upon marriage
and that il you really love him
you will let him have his way.
In reality your stand would not
be one of selfishness, you would
not deny him your love, you would
be protecting your self-respect.
