HALL
HAS DRAFT BOWL

PHILADELPHIA Omitted Press)
Have you ever wondered what be-
came Of the draft bowl-the cylin-
drical. glass container which five
years ago helped send the first and
last of the National Army trooping
to the colors in the War against Ger
many2
Well, the bowl is now in its per-
manent home in old Independence
Hall here. hobnobbing with the Lib
erty Bell. washington's writing table
and other relies famous in American
history. Quite a lofty station for an
ordinary bowl, originally made and
intended to serve as the home for
little goldfishes in somebody's front
parlor.
The career Of the worlds most
famous hshbowl was shaped by the
purest accident. Former CAPTAIN
Charles r. Morris Of Elizabeth, N
j., devised the drawing method Of
selecting men for the draft. To
demonstrate his plan to government
officials he had to get a bowl. He
went downtown in Washington, went
sold bowls, and picked out the first
one he saw Of the right size. He paid
for the bowl out of his own pocket
and It set him back SO. He wanted
to own it himself. so he could take
It home with him after the war.
Morris experiment looked good to
the officials in charge of the draft,
and so the fish bowl became the re-
ceptacle from which were drawn No
25s and the subsequent key numerals
which sent our citizen soldiery on its
way to war.
The draft bowl occupies a real
place of honor in Independence Hall,
sitting on a writing table once used
by George Washington and only a
dozen steps or so away from the
Halls principal treasure, the Lib
srty Bell.
Captain Morris is now back in
,ivilian life, working for the Stand
lrd OIL Co.

practiced during the war and post
war conservation periods, probably
will have to be duplicated this wint-
er. Ellis II. Searles. editor OF the
United Mine Workers Journal, fore
cast today.
Searles who has made a careful
survey Of the fuel situation. believes
the railroads of the country will not
be able TO haul all the coal that is
mined and required TO meet the bus
mess and domestic needs.
While the Federal government
now IS rationing fuel II will have 10
go much further TO save the people
from suffering and business from
serious embarrassment this winter,
searles said. II the government
does not revive the fuel administra-
ton which operated during the war
and in the winter OF 1920 then the
states and cities will have TO take
the necessary steps, he held.
THE people do not realize the
seriousness of the fuel situation"
searles said. "In 1920 the railroads
in excellent condition broke down
under the strain of trying to haul
100000 tons OF coal weekly. From
now on until the end of the coal
year, April 1. 1928, they will have
TO carry 100000 to 1900, 900 tons
weekly to meet the normal demand
and the extra requirements caused
by the exhaustion of the reserve
stocks during the coal strike.
According to all reports the rail-
roads are in the worst shape of their
history due to bad order engines and
other equipment, caused by the
strike of shopmen. Even II the rail-
road strike is settled today the rail-
roads could not begin 10 haul the
fuel that soon will be mined or fill
the countrys requirements.
Right now II Is not a matter ~
how much coal can be mined but
how much coal the railroads can
haul. Within the next few davs
the mines will be producing coal at
the rate Of from 100000 to 10. 900
900 tons weekly. There is bound TO
be a jam at all railroad gatewavs
when heavy movements get under
way. It will be up to the Govern
ment or the State and local officials
to find a remedy.
The only remedy IS TO cut down
consumption. In many cities local
prevent the use of soft
coal. with anthracite production
