USE OF COKE ADVISED
IN ANTHRACITE SHORTAGE

With the prospect of filling their
bins with anthracite coal decidedly
slim and the winter rapidly drawing
near, householdcrs were advised to-
day by the Bureau OF Mines to stock
up with coke.
Coke soon will be available in large
quantities. with mining OF bitumi-
nous coal rapidly reaching the stage
Of normal production, the bureau
said. and many advantages are TO
be derived from the use Of this fuel.
Coke should be used for heating
houses because it is a clean and con
venient fuel" the Government mine
experts said. "It eliminates smoke,
reduces the necessity Of cleaning the
furnace and flues, requires less at
tention than coal, and gives a more
uniform temperature in the house.
Nv burning coke for domestic heat
ing, more soft coal will be used in
by.product plants. which save many
valuable by-products that are wasted
when the coal is used directly in the
raw state"

He emphasized the fact that the present generation would not profit 50 much by the issue as would the future generation and explain ed the provisions of the city com mission to refund the bonds and meet the interest each year.

Mothers Day." but recently designated as national holiday, strikes deep roots into uni yersal truth and emotion. The pas. years in which it has officially re- ceived specific designation is merely the continuance of the spirit of the ancients who also worshipped and honored motherhood and all 1t inn plies.
 Taking a glance into history one will find that the first indication of mans celebration of Mothers Day" was in Asia Minor thousands of years before Christ, when the Goddess Cy- bele.

Mother worship reached Greece 50 years before Christ and 1t was there that the inhabitants first celebrated the mejest of motherhood with pres ents.

Please let me hear from you often in regard to the school as I am very anxious to place my boy in school of this kind"
 The foregoing is an excerpt from letter received yesterday by Judge Hugh A Locke, chairman of the cam
 paign committee of the Alabama School of Trades and Industries. for which the Exchange clubs of the state are making strong campaign. The writer Is a widowed woman, liv- ing at Carbon Hill, in Walker county,
 and with her letter she sent $25 check for the school fund. She had reouested that one of the blank books of subscription be sent her, and her remittance represented her work in disposing of the 25 blanks at s1 each.
 The letter not only demonstrates widowed woman sets forth the neces- sity of the Ragland school in the
 most impressive manner possible,
 said Judge Locke. Monday. Here is
 a woman who has been left to maNe her own way with three children to care for, and she has recognized in the proposed school at Ragland her
 salvatio in giving her little children
 such education as will fit them for
 the battles of life. It Is the most heart-appealing letter that has come to headquarters since l have been serving as chairman.
 "The letter not only demonstrates the necessity for this particular
 school, but 1t serves to remind us of our obligation to education in gen. eral way. I feel assured that when | the average citizen reads the letter | of Mrs. NJ T. Walker of Carbon H.l that citizen will feel the necessity | of giving the S1 asked to make the l Eagland school reality"

 He explained that the present rate
 of increase of city property brought

 money each year and that at the end
 of the S9year period cash in the
 sinking fund, supplemented by funds from the three-mill tax would be adequate to meet every bond remain ing and also leave the amount of s11.5o0,oOo with which other bonds or imrroveme could be financed.
