ORE TRAFFIC CONTINUES
Coal Shortage Has Had No Effect
On Shipments Thus Far

Associated Press Dispatch1
Duluth, July 15.-The shortage Of
coal which has caused some delay
in shipping and which threatens TO
precipitate wholesale tying up of
ships on the Great Lakes, has not
interfered with movement of ore at
the Head of the Lakes, vessel men
declared today. There is still some
coal available for shipping at the
Head of the Lakes docks, but only d
limited amount is allowed, making
it necessary for vessels to depend
on stocks at lower lake docks fo1
fuel for the trip up the lakes.
There are no coal cargoes COM
ing up from the Lower Lakes and
the freighters are engaged in the
ore business alone.

Where it's cool, but find it not;
The air seems close and thick to me,
My clothes completely stick to me,

Along the highways gliInmering.
The waves Of heat are shimmering,
I'm baking
And I'm aching
For some frigid arctic spot,
Where / might sit and freeze awhile
And thus be quite at ease awhile;
I'm firing

Yet should a blizzard sweep upon

And the byways
