WASHINGTON, July ga slight
recovery in production of bituminous
coal during the last week was the di-
rect result Of the Presidents invita-
tion to reopen the mines, the Ceoiogi-
cal Survey reported tonight in an
nouncing that the yield was 100000
tons, as against 3,7O0,000 tons the pre-
cedng week.
"The Increase" the survey an
nouneed, "is due partly to more men
at work in Pennsylvania, partly to
improved car supply in southern West
Virginia and partly to heavier ship
ments from Alabama and the far
West" Production of anthracite, how
ever, remains practically zero, the
survey reported. Continuing, the re-
port said:
"Loadings on Monday, July "a, were
1908 cars. This was 417 cars above
the preceding Monday, but 1854 cars
below the last Monday before the
shopmen's strike. On Tuesday and
Wednesday loadings declined, but on
Thursday a slight recovery was noted,
ut thus appears likely that the total
output for the seventeenth week will
be. less than 100000 tons, probably
only 100000 tons. In the lowest week
OF the strike 9,575,O00 tons were pro
duced and in the highest week (June
1920 6,S63,0o0 tons. The decrease
since June is attributable to traffic
congestion resulting from the shop-
mems strike. In The middle Appalachian
region the congestion ia still acute, al.
though slight improvement over last
week has been reported from certain
districts. Normal production at this
season, including anthracite, is from
100000 to 12.0G0.0O0 tons. -

cided to write whiskers into the part.
Nay. more. he resolved to grow his own,
since false beard might fall off and
embarrass him dreadsully. So he bet
about the laborious process of growing

And then. just when he had brought
