BILL EXPECTED TO PASS
Would Not Impose Extra Burden

A pension pay envelope increase
from $50 to $72 a month for civil

as a Christmas gift from Uncle Sam,
is planned by republican leaders in
Congress.
A bill providing the pension In
crease already has passed the Sen

New Mexico, its author, says he has

expects the bill to become law be-

receive the increase from $50 to 81:

receive $50 month, while pension

The Bursum bill is designed to meet
the needs of veterans of advanced
years, but because Of their rapidly in

Bursum states, would not mean actual

212,272 TONS LESS

Washington will have to keep warm
this winter on a supply of hard coal
that will be 212.272 tons less than the
city received last year, according
to figures obtained today from the
Coal Merchants Board Of Trade.
This organization. representing
nearly all of the dealers in the Dis
trict, has reliable information that
the total amount Of anthracite ship
ped into Washington between now
! and March. 1923. will be 31s,3ss TONS
/ During the last year the total
amount of anthracite received by
Washington was 53s,670 tons. OF
course, this figure represents ship
ments from April, 1921, to March.
1922, whereas the estimate for the
coming winter begins with Septem-
Der. From April to September Of this
year, however there was little hard
coal mined.
Estimates Are Given.
Here are the amounts of hard coal
received last winter. and the esti-
| mated amount that will arrive this
around the city of Washington:
Benning-Last year. 4,1o2 tons; this
| winter. 2.4S1 tons.
Brookland-Last year, 3S1 tons; this
winter, 22s tons.
Chillum-Last year. 2,749 tons; this
winter. 1.649 tons.
Georgetown-Last year. 2S,633 tons;
this year. 17,179 tons.
Lamond-LaSt year, 1863 tons: this
winter, 2,135 tons.
Langdon-Last year, GIL tons; this
winter, 402 tons.
Takoma Park-Last year, $3.50 tons:
this year, 1888 tons.
Cniontown-Last year. 6.6S7 tons;
| this year, 4,012 tons.
| University Station-Last year. $3.50
washinEton-Last year. 4f4,ses; this
U. 8. Limits Supplies,
These figures will have q: tendency
| to change the impression Of many
residents Of the District who have
| been expressing the belief that Wash
ington will have plenty OF hard coal
for household use this winter.
They indicate that practically every
! householder will have to mix some
soft coal with his supply of anthracite.
George Pope, director of the govern
ment fuel yards. stated today that his
| Office is limiting the delivery Of coal
shipments to government buildings
and to the living quarters of Army,
\ Navy and Marine Corps officers. Mr.
| Pope said that in accordance with
congressional appropriations officers
| of the military services who have an
allowance for heat, light and fuel, get
coal acquisitions on the government
| fuel yards.

Brown and his boy had had their

this that moved the surveillance squad

was that they had been rolling around

Deputy Surveyor William K. Sanders,

that he had 4 crew Of seven strong men

then ordered him briefly to remove

Trader the Wood Rat.

When the Black Shadows came
creeping through the Green Forest
Farmer Browns Boy and Farmer
Brown locked up the little sugar
house and started for home Inside
the little sugar house everything had
been put in readiness for the busy
days ahead when the maple syrup
and sugar would be made from the
sap of the maple trees.
"To-morrow,' said Farmer Brown.
1--WE will bring over everything we
need
II think that this year 7 will stay
nights said Farmer Browns Boy.
'lt will be easier than having to go
back home every night and return so
early every morning"
Wont you be afraid to sleep over
here all alone?' asked Farmer
Brown.
Farmer Browns Boy laughed.
"There isn't a thing in all the Green
Forest to be afraid Of said he
"Supposing Buster Bear comes
poking around?" said Farmer Brown.
Again Farmer Browns Boy laughed.
He won't stay around when he finds
that | am here" said he. "He has
run away from me too often for me
to be afraid of him in the least"
Of course, Blacky the Crow and
Sammy Jay, who had spent most of
the day watching what had been go
ing on around the little sugar house,
had left before the Black Shadows
came creeping through the Green For
est. Neither Of them cares to be out
after dark. SO the little sugar house
was left locked up and deserted The
Black Shadows wrapped it in dark
ness, aud for long time there wasn't
a sign of life around it.
But along in the middle of the
night there came visitor. Could
you have seen him in the light of
day you would have noticed at once
that he wore brown coat, had a
white waistcoat, white hands and
feet hairy tail and big black eyes.
He was not very big, being about
the size of Robber the Rat. He
seemed to know all about that little
sugar house, and it was quite clear
that he was not at all afraid of the
