PAY FINES IN COAL
Of Fuel Adopted By One
 Berlin Court

BERLIN, Sept. 16.-BrlQuettes, the standard form of domestic fuel, have been adopted by one Berlin court as a unit of value in order to avoid depreciation of mark fines. A gam bier who was arraigned before the court was sent to jail and fined 800 pounds of briquettes, or the value of that weight of briquettes, to be paid within a fortnight.
 Doctors have used the value of a bushel of rye as a means of fixing their fees so as to avoid the fluc- tuation of marks. and many German factories have fixed wages in terms of butter or lard in an effort to satisfy employees whose wages have been fluctuating violently with the cratic mark.

DESIGNERS HEED WARNING OF HARD WINTER IN WORK
Newest Styles To Take Care
 Of SevereSt Weather, As FurS Preferred

PARIS. Sept 16.-Dressmalsers of Paris have hunch that the winter Is going to be severe, in view of recent reports from America. Therefore they have devoted their artistic gifts to the production of something new in the line of trimmed gowns. This Is the prevailing note in the winter models now being shown. Mink and moleskin are the favorite materials and brown the favored coat of broad bands of mink stitched on velvet or silk. Straight lines are the order of the day.
 Warm looking velours and kasha are seen In many exhibits. A Rus sian blouse of heavy material for wear in the daytime Is expected to have many votaries. Scarf collars are another feature of the winter ' showings. Everything points to an eye for comfort, even long sleeves. covering the arm down to the tips of the fingers.
 The problem of tho fur cape against the fur coat for use as a wrap has apparently been decided in favor of the coat. A slight circular movement In the skirt is the predom- mating note in the Collection of the famous house of Thebaut. A novelty coat Is made of narrow bands of monkey skin, one overlapping the other, on a bright blue material. The bands are thin, permitting the blue to show.
 The short fur jacket for early win ter wear Is apparently out of the running, but it Is still popular in certain circles. It Is being shown in taupe and moleskin. but the models are designed for fall rather than fot winter. In some cases the skirt is merely a moleskin cape wrapped around the figure and fastened at one side.
 Straight Line Accentuated
 In regard to the cut of the winter gowns, the straight line is mono ana more aocentuated. The threat of the crinoline has proved groundless In evening gowns there Is slight tend ency to pannier effects but 1t Is not revolutionary. Some dressmakers seem to believe that there is a chance to revive the "hobble." Last season, the skirt battle was fought over the length. This time 1t will be over the width. In discussing this feature of the styles, one of the most popular dressmakers said:
 "Only three outlines merit serious attention. First, there Is the outline indicating the natural lines of the figure without being tight anywhere. Then comes the outline which shows all the fullness drawn to the back, the front being plain. Finally. there Is the gown with all the fullness drawn from the back to the front giving a classical suggestion. The newest 'hobble' will be tight At the knees as we'll as at the ankles"
 Many of the winter coats will be short with straight up-and- down outline, cut like Chinese coatees. They are of silk velours in bright colors, with narrow hem of glove kid all around. There Is going to be a vogue of embroidery over these coats but the work will be bolder more barbaric than heretofore. One dressmaker is showing a knee length coat or rust red velvet with futurist design embroidery in brown, orange, dark blue wool and fur. The coat is lined with dark blue satin.

BRISK PAINT BUSINESS
 IS FORECAST FOR FALL
September And October Seasons Of
 Activity In This Line

Paint sales for the summer season have been unusual with prospects good for a continuation of brisk busi- ness as the fall season sets in, &C., cording to officials of the Birming- ham Paint and Glass company.
 September and October annually are seasons of much paint and repair work as is the spring season and the next few weeks are expected to show moro than ordinary activity in tn paint and glass business.
 A brisk building program In Bir- mingham all during the summer gives every promise of continuing through out the winter months, according to Birmingham supply men.
 Property owners are coming to realize the gospel of good paint as preserver of property. Its thousands of uses about the home have been ex- plained in & recent educational paint program campaign, and the slogan Save the Surface and You Save All" has como to be understood as @ fact In the preservation of property.
 Roof paint for leaks and to add to the life of shingles is much in use also.

 ENJOYS MANY ORDERSI
Commercial Use Of Illustrations Is
 Reflected In Volume Of Business

Birmingham business houses are fast coming to realize the importance of illustrations in the sAlS of their goods. Modern newspaper Rdvertis- Ing with It's powerful pulling re- suits have adequately illustrated to merchants the importance of pictures in their scales campaigns, according to officials of the Enterprise En- graving company.
 Not only are reproductive plates coming to be greatly used in book lets and in direct-by mail advertis- ing, engrayers state, but business stationery Is daily being turned out with trademarks showing as a con- spicuous part of the regular business letter head makeup. Nothing more firmly implants upon the customers mind the superiority of standard goods than becoming thoroughly ac- quainted with the trade marks of the various manufacturers. Birmingham merchants have not been slew to realize this important factor in the proper appearance of their printed forms.
 As result of increased use of H. lustrations, officials of the Enter prise Engraving company report a steady and conservative business outlook for the next few months especially In view of the annual fall business season which Is just now starting.

At the same time that this device

the time expended in registering the

Square Garden last night Mt the mass
meeting to protest against the Ruhr
invasion" not one champion appear
ed to plead the cause of France or
to clap q hand in admiration Of her
German policy.
The meeting was wildly demonstra-
tive. 1t was not the kind of demon
stration. however, for which the police
stationed within and without the
garden, $50 strong, had been on
guard.
The meeting, on the whole. was a
continuous denunciation of France
premier. of her army and of her repair
atoms policy. Between speeches the
spirit of the protest was carried on
by kilograms from prominent men in
other cities read by the chairman.

and over again. These transfers are
about an inch and one-half wide and
three inches long. 4 different one is
used for each hour of the day, for
example. a passenger gets on the car
at o o'clock in the morning of the
22nd of the month and asks for a
transfer. The conductor reaches in
box, placed on the perpendicular
rod that extends to the roof of the
car, and presents him with ticket
that has the words, Not good after
the 22nd of this month. 10 Il. m. :"
This is printed in bold type on both
faces of the ticket and can be easily
read. These transfers are placed in
glass container and the conductor
does not have TO handle them when
a passenger present them to him.
The hox that these transfers are
placed il is on the order of filing
cabinet and as the hours come around,
a metal slab is placed between the
old transfers and the new ones, thus
enabling the conductor TO distribute
them without removing his gaze from
the fare box. This prevents the pas
Sengers from engaging in their favor
lite pastime of dropping in one, two
or three cents for their fare.

ATTITUDE OF GERMANS.
Considerable Contribution to Settle

RN the Associated Press.

Il! the Associated Press.
BERLIN, May 30.-With the pubIi-
cation of the official text of the in
dustralists' guarantee proposals to
the government criticism of their
program has become considerably
modified. and a large section of the
press is inclined to view the leagues
platform as materially contributing
to the reparationS solution sought by
Chancellor Cuno.
While the editorial comments as
sumo that the present draft does not
represent the extent TO which The in
dustrialists and the financial. ship
ping and agrarian interests will
finally be pressed into active service
by the government, there is a mark ed
concurrence on the part Of the bour-
geoise journals that the ''prerequi-
sites" designated in the Industrial
participation in the gold guarantees
are wholly warranted in the light of
the past conduct of the r"p2rdtions
problem by Germany and th@ entente.
1--WE are heartily tired of pouring
gold values into barrel without a
bottom" the Kreuzzeitung declares
in connection with its demand that
an end be made to temporiZing pol
icies on reparations and the system
of periodical assessments heretofore
pursued.
Neither the united socialists nor
the powerful Federation of Labor
unions have Yet indicated their
official attitude TO the industralists'
program and confine their present
criticisms to prompt rejection OF
any attempts to "perforate the
eight-hour law. To a large extent
the industralists have effectually dis
armed the radicals criticism in ad-
vance, in that their memorandum lays
stress on concurrence with the in
ternal financial and economic re
forms promised by the Wirth gov
ernment in its note of November II
to the reparation commission.
Cuno Pushes Parleys.
This program. which was one Of
the last official utterances of the
Wirth cabinet on the reparations
problems, was largely inspired d and
stanchly supported by the socialist
members of the Wirth ministry.
Chancellor Cuno is devoting his en-
tire time to extensive parleys with
the leaders of representative indus,
trial. economic, commercial ana
agrarian interests. and has entered
upon a comprehensive study of the
question of guarantees and the man
ner in which they can be secured

join forces with Belgium, Italy and
France in writing the reply, thereby
throwing the whole Ruhr problem
into Il general conference setting.
Nothing official has been received in
London regarding Belgium's note to
France outlining new terms. but il is
believed that this new line of action
offers every possibility of united
action. and perhaps a high road to
complete settlement.
Reports from Berlin strike the most
optimistic note in many months. es-
pecially the latest move in the reich
stag to offer the allies terms, making
them partners in the main productive
activities of German economic life.
1t is believed here that Curzon's per-
suasive efforts exerted upon Berlin
induced the Germany government to
outline a plan handing over German
land and house property for the pur-
poses of taxation. while all industrial
mercantile and financial concerns will
issue bonds based on certain pro-
portion of their capital which will
be available only for the purposes OF
reparations.
In more ways than one this pro-
posal from Germany fits III with the
reported details of the new Belgian
plan and arouses an intense desire
among British business men to see
matters threshed out in "A new con-
