LEATHER BOTTLE
FAMOUS DICKENS
INN, FOR SALE
Souvenirs of Authors Life
Make Certain LiVeIiness
on Markets.

LONDON-There is certain liveli.
ness" in the Dickens market at the
present time. The house where Dick
ems spent part Of his boyhood has been
turned into a children's library; the
house where he spent the first part Of
his married life is to become a mu-
scum. Now comes the news that the
famous Leather Bottle at Gotham Is
to be sold.
The Leather Bottle, lying in
charming village in one Of the love-
lest parts Of Kent, has this distinc-
ton, that, while Mr.. Piokwick went
there once, Dickens went there very
often. He was familiar with the vii
Iage when a boy at Chatham; he re-
newed his acquaintance while he was
spending his honeymoon at Chalk,
hard by; he took Maclise and Forster
there for two or three days on their
way back from Rochester; he slept
at the Leather Bottle" occasionally;
and when he was living at Gad's Hill
he would often wander across to the
scenes of his youth. Round Cob
ham," says Forster, "skirting the park
and village and passing the Leather
Bottle, famous in the pages OF Pick
wick was a favorite walk with Dick
ems"
The village today is pretty much as
Dickens knew it; the Leather Bottle
is more Dickensian than when Mr..
Pickwick went there in search OF Mr..
Tracy Tupman, who had retired from
the world after his disappointment at
the hands OF Miss Rachel Wardle.
Pickwick. Wrinkle and Snodgrass

long, low-roofed room, furnished with

cushioned chairs Of fantastic shapes
and embellished with a great va.
riety Of old portraits and roughly
colored antique prints. Mr.. Pickwick
took him over to the neighboring
churchyard (the church, by the way,
contains one Of the finest collsc-
tons Of monumental brasses in the
country. and talked him into reason.
The original sign now hangs inside
the Leather Bottle. and it's place over

Other Motor Manufacturers
Have Sufficient Fuel to
Keep Going.
By United Financ{dI

NEW YORK, Aug. 2e.-The action
Of Henry Ford in closing down his
plants on Sept. 16 because he is I'M
able to obtain coal at a reasonable
rrice, puzzles the financial district
here. In the first place Ford has
always been counted the most power
full as we'll as the most resourceful OF
the motor makers. The coal shortage
which Ford says has forced him to
close is not having the same effect on
motor manufacturers who might have
been expected to have been hit before
Ford.
A number Of companies are re-
ported to have sixty to ninety days
coal supply on hand and even though
their electrical power were cut off.
they could resort to gasoline engines.
Motor manufacturers generally are re-
ported less concerned about fuel than
about the prospect Of delayed deliv-
cries through the rail strike.
May Be Huge Gesture
Because of these considerations
many believe that Ford is INDUCING
in a huge gesture to awaken the coun-
try to the problem Of settling the
current strikes and Of acting against
The profteering which has arisen be-
cause Of them. This would be an UNI
usual action, but Ford has shown in
the past that he does not hesitate to
do unusual things II he believes they
Will accomplish the results he Is after.
Meanwhile the conditions in tho
coal market here show that the prices
asked several days ago have been cut
and that consumers feel they can be
more particular about the kind of
coal they are getting.

ACTION OF FORD PUZZLES
BIG FINANCIAL INTERESTS
Industry Generally Is Going to
Continue Operations With
out Change.


NEW YORK, Aug. 2S.-Industry in
general does not plan to follow the
lead OF Henry Ford in closing down
plants because of the coal shortage
and prevailing high prices Of fuel, a
survey made by the United Press
showed today. Some plants, however.
have already curtaned operations or
plan to do so soon.
The packing plants. largest indus
try OF Chicago, report that they are
operating sixty per cent on oil and
forty per cent on coal. The manager
Of Armour & Co. said that IN case OF
total lack of coal he could operate tho
plant entirely with oil. This same
condition, he stated, applies to other
packers.
There has been a slight curtailment
OF subway service In New York. but
industry is not suffering much, owing
to the influx Of imported English coal.
Industrial leaders at both Cincin-
natl and Chicago claim they have suffi-
cient coal supplies on hand to guar
antee operation.
The large manufacturing plants in
Milwaukee. including the Palm Olive
Soap Company and the Allis Chal-
mers Motor Company. see no imme-
date prospect OF a shut down or cur
tailment.
From Harrisburg, Pa, comes the re-
port that the steel industry there Is
curtailed not only because OF the coal
shortage but also due to the railroad
strike.
Other than the Ford plants there
will be no shut down and very little
curtailment in Houston, Texas and
Oklahoma City.
Kansas City. another packing city,
is operating on a slightly curta1led
basis
