San Antonio a few years ago. A
young fellow was crippled from birth

His father died suddenly and left his
mother TO support herself and the

Among these were understood to
have been the administration world

FILL COAL BINS
NOW, OFFICIALS
URGE CONSUMERS
Shortage Ahead Unless
HouSehoIderS Store Fuel
In Summer Months
by THOMAS l.. STOKES
By Leased Wire to The Agc-Heraid)

WASHINGTON, June s.-A coal
shortage is possible next winter un-
less householders begin to fill their
bins now, and thus forestall heavy
congestion on the railroads this fall
when peak loads of crops and other
freight must be handled.
This is the outlook as gathered
from those in touch with the situa
ton here.
Francis R. wadleigh, federal fuel
distributor; Secretary Hoover, and
others are urging industrial plants
and the public to buy their coal early
this summer in order that Its trans
portation may be spread out over
several months. Little coal is being
bought now.
wadleigh says he does not expect
coal shortage, but points out the
danger of throwing a heavy load on
the railroads all at once with other
heavy autumn business.
Production Is Normal.
Coal production is normal now,
and II the output continues at the
same rate. there will be plenty of &C al
for everybody, he says. Reports to
the geological survey show that be-
tween 100000 and 100000 tons
is being produced each week.
While this production Is normal
for this season of the year. II is evil
dent from reports to the geological
survey that much more coal would
probably be mined II there was de-
mand for 1T, and If its movement was
not held up by transportation diff
culties. Many mines have been
closed in some of the principal fields.
O o O
Statistics Being Gathered.
The size of coal stocks also enters
into a possible shortage this winter.
The stocks in March. when the last
estimate was made, were about 49,
100000 tons. Wadleigh estimates
April stocks at 30,000,000 tons.
Though no official check-up was
made. this compares with 63,000,000
tons in April last year, when the
strike began.
Wadleigh say there is every incen-
tive now to buy coal with prices
lower than they have been for long
time. Prices have scaled downward
generally since the first of the year.
ne said, and price lists show most
coal cheaper than last year.

MRS. HARDING SETS
FASHION FOR WOMEN
TO SALUTE THE FLAG

WASHINGTON. June s.-Mrs.
Harding set a new custom for
women when she rose and saluted
the flag each time it appeared in
the Shriner's parade here. She
was inspired by the example of a
naval ensign. Warren X. Taylor.
of Ruston. La, who sat in a stand
opposite and rose with a salute to
the flag whenever 1t passed in
the parade. He was conspicuous
because most of the other specta-
tors around him kept their seats,
engrossed in other features of
the pageant.
Secretary of the Navy DENLY,
who was in the presidential
party. sent an aide to learn the
ensign's name and Friday made
public a letter of commentator
to the young officer. Women
spectators, noting that Mrs.
Harding was saluting the flag,
took 1t up and soon the custom
was generally followed by the
women.
