 gency distribution of coal swung
 into gear today as the general
 committee here, with Henry B.
 Spencer federal fuel distributor,
 as head, began active funct1onlnS
 under the program devised to
 supply coal to the industries ana localities where it is most needed
 and to maintain fair price levels
 at the mines.
 As the distribution program went into effect, increase production was shown in reports of the geolog1cai survey for the week ending Saturday tons as compared with 2,7OO,0O0 tons the week previous. Production of anthracite was said to remain at no evidence of increased productions" in response to the invitation to re- open mines in strongly organized dis coming out of the farmer nonunion fields of Pennsylvania with slight in creases in several other districts.

Beefy Civic Virtue
Will Get Garden
To Woo In
By Iniyer.aI Service,

NEW YORK, June 30.-Just
as long as his two marble lady
friends can stand it, "Civic
Virtue a real trough guy" will
continue to tread on their necks
and wave a caveman club at
passers-by.
The statue was placed in City
Hall park on trial. Nobody has
knocked it down. C. VS. beefy
neck, herculean arms, and giant
stature has quieted those op-
posed to the sight of a marble
male ruling his women fair with
brute strength.
The park commission decided
today that since C. V. is here
to stay, he should have a garden
to WOO in--so one will be sunk
about his feet, not only to make
him a greater visual feast than
at present, but to give him a soft
spot to land in should his
women revolt against the neck
lace made by their oppressor's
pedal extremities.

REELECTION Of
SENATOR REED

Quit Is Significant.
by Universal Service.

The reelection Of Senator James
A. Reed in Missouri was predicted
Yesterday by Senator Caraway. Of
Arkansas, in a discussion OF the
Missouri political situation in the
Senate. He declared he made this
statement as a fact rather than a
prediction and asserted that efforts
OF Republicans or Democrats in
Missouri to defeat Senator Reed will
be useless.
Caraway read a letter written to
Jesse Barrett. attorney general Of
Missouri, by Senator Spencer, Reed s
Republican colleague, in which
Spencer advised Barrett to stay out
OF the Senatorial race; the. letter
paid high compliment TO Bar.
rett's record as attorney general
and contained a prophecy by Spen-
Ger 10 the effect that Attorney cen.
eral Daugherty will soon resign
and that Barrett then will be avail.
able to Daugherty's place in the
Cabinet.
Caraway said this was the fret
notice he had had that Daugherty
intended TO resign. Spencer retorted
that he had not intended to convey
the impression that Daugherty in
tends to leave the Cabinet. but
merely had sought to dissuade
Barrett from going into the Sena-
torial race because he thought Bar.
rett would be good timber for the
Cabinet office II Daugherty should
quit.
Caraway said SpenCer's advice Ia
Barrett was being followed by a
good many Republicans, who were
beginning to realize this was a bad
year for them TO enter politics.

The thing that is troubling the
probate lawyers today is the
proper distribution Of bootlegacies.
When people die they leave their
spirits behind. but the question Ia,
to whom should they leave thems
A lawyer has no trouble In dis
tributing an estate In dollars and
acres, but it's hard to divide one
when it's in pints and quarts.
II q man could take his liquor
with him when he died he could
have II handy and grab II as he
was passing into the hereafter.
But most men aren't sure which
way they're going 50 they wouldn't
know whether to store IL In the
attic or the cellar.
The bootlegacy lawyers always
come in for their share of the
liquid estate. but their part is
usually a. the bottom and they
have to drink yours to get theirs.
One man left one of his sons a
gallon Of whiskey and cut his other
son off with q million dollars.
He's spending the million dollars
trying to get half of the estate
that was left to his brother.
His legacy Ia being eaten up by
one lawyer and his brothers. estate
Is being drunk up by another.
