COAL BILL WILL BE
HEAVY NEXT WHIT Err
PUBLIC MUST SHELL OUT
LITERALLY FOR FUEL THIS
YEAR. HUGE DEMAND.

Americas coal bill this year will be
the highest in history, according to
government officials, who explain it as
due primarily to an unprecedented de-
mand for coals at this season of the
year, which in many sections is keep
ing prices at winter levels.
Production Is Normal.
No falling off in production can be
held accountable for the present
prices, it is declared, as reports show
a steady output equal to any reason
able demand in both hard and soft
coal districts. The householder him
SELF according to all indications, is
keeping up the price by laying in
his coal during the spring months,
when normally the demand is slack
ened
The consumption of some grades OF
coal may be running slightly in eX-
cess OF current production, govern
ment officials says, but this does not
indicate an actual or potential short
age All orders can be filled from re-
serve stocks, it is said, and as soon
as the average householder has laid
in his winters supply, the usual slump
will be felt in the demand for all do
mestic grades.
Needing Buy Now" Admonition.
The action of the public in needing
the admonition to buy now" is keep
ing the retail price of coal at winter
levels in many parts of the country
it is said.
Bituminous prices, however, have
taken a slight drop. Production re-
ports show that bituminous is being
mined at the average rate Of 10000
900 tons a week, and anthracite at q
100000 tons, these figures comparing
favorably with the averages of other
years.

TWENTY THOUSAND
MOBILES IN PARADE
PICTURESQUE PROCESSION ON
HISTORIC PENNSYLVANIA
AVE. IS REVIEWED.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-President
Harding had a prominent part today
in the festivities incident to the open
ing here of the forty-ninth annual
convention OF the Ancient Arabic Or
der, Mobiles OF the Mystic Shrine. He
reviewed a parade OF 10000 Mobiles,
the feature event of the day; delivered
an address on fraternalism at the first
session of the Imperial Council and at
tended a banquet given for Imperial
Potentate James S. McCandless, OF
Honolulu.
With Mrs. Harding and Gen. Per
shing, the executive, who is Noble
of Aladdin Temple OF Columbus, o.,
remained for three and a half hours IN
his box in the reviewing stand IN
front of the white house as the long
line of mobiles passed through The
Garden of Allah" on their march over
the burning sands" of Pennsylvania
avenue from the capital to Washing
ton Circle. Mr. Harding wore white
suit and a red fez, but Gen. Pershing
was in the uniform of his rank as
general of the armies.
Both. the executive and Mrs. Hard
ing entered fully into the spirit OF the
occasion, vigorously applaudlng the
marchers and finding amusement in
the antics Of some of the drum majors
and the clowns accompanying several
of the delegations. AS each Of the IL
temples passed the stand the presi-
dent and Mrs. Harding arose to sa-
Lutte the American flag and so were
kept on their feet much of the time
the parade was under way.
Probably no more picturesque pa
rade than that of the Shriners ever
has passed over Washington S historic ..
thoroughfares, scene OF many inaugu-
raj. victory, preparedness and other
pageants. From the conventional black
and the cooler white the colors pre-
sented ali the hues of rainbow,
while the variety of costumes kept
pace almost with the number OF the
colors. Chariots, mounted patrols etc

WILL CELEBRATE 40
YEARS RELIEF WORK
AMERICAN RED CROSS IS A
GUARDIAN ANGEL IN WAR
AND TIME OF PEACE.

Forty years of relief work in fire,
food, war and other disasters will be
celebrated by the American Red Cross
this summer. Since 1882 the society
has been active in relief work.
Now, Red Cross officials declare,
while their primary conception of Red
Cross societies was relief in war time,
the American society has recognized
its greatest task as the amelioration
OF suffering in peace.
Geneva Treaty Foundation.
"The sick and wounded victims of
epidemics and natural calamities SUI
fer none the less because their suffer
ing did not spring from war;" says
Ernest P Bicknell, vice chairman and
former national director of the Amer
lean Red Cross.
The treaty OF Geneva, which is the
foundation and charter of all Red
Cross societies, makes no provisions
for any activities outside those con-
nected directly with armies and war.
Aided in 372 Disasters.
Not a great many years elasped,
however, before the world began to
realize that the underlying idea OF
the Red Cross was more widely APP
plicable to conditions of life
Previous to 1905, the year OF re-or-
ganization, the average yearly cost o
disaster relief was about 100000.
Since 1919 the average cost has been
about S14, 100000 Since 1881 the
American Red Cross has extended re-
lief in 372 disasters.

SOCIETY WOMEN
SPEND WILD NIGHT
HAD TO CANCEL PASS C E
HOME AFTER GOING THE
COCKTAIL ROUTE.

PARIS.-Three we'll known Amer
lean society women, two New York
ers and one Chicagoan, here for the
annual replenishment of their ward
robes, Cancelled their passage on the
Olympic tomorrow and cabled their
husbands they are suffering with Sc
we're colds, preventing their departure
as a result of a wild night in Mont
martre ending at noon today, when
they were still suffering from giant
hangovers and had their hair bobbed.
The three started the cocktail route
Yesterday afternoon after the races;
then took in the big downtown cafes
and finally the Montmartre resorts,
consuming such large quantities OF
champagne and shimmying with high
ly tipped professional dancers that
they were ashamed or afraid to re-
turn TO their big, exclusive hotel near
Place Vendome at daylight.
The trio repaired to another haunt,
imbibing eyeopeners and other meth
DDS guaranteed to bring them to, even
shifting little cocaine, which the
place offered as sure cure.
Finally at II o'clock they decided
to patronize a beauty parlor for a
massage and hot towels before going
home. At the hair dressing establish
ment they encountered couple of
dancing girls whom they had met the
night before in Montmartre having
their bobbed hair trimmed and the
three society women decided to emu
late them.
1t was only after a long sleep that
the trio came to and realized that
their husbands have strong objections
to closed cropped heads and decided
it would be necessary to prolong their
sojourn a couple of weeks and let
their hair grow as much as possible.
