show that in practically all instances
public safety, education and health
are the controlling idea and purpose
of their legislative measures. All bills
considered by Congress to improve

educational opportunities in the pub

support. The Federal Safety Appli-

all other safety appliances on rail-

(Bv Federated Press)

New York-The Fair Price Coal
commission here has decided upon the
following prices for domestic size an
thracite coal in the boroughs of
Greater New York: Manhattan, $14.25
a ton; Brooklyn, $14.50 to $1,000;
Queens, $1450 to $14.75, and Rich
mond, $3.50. These prices are based
upon the health departments survey,
and they do not include the extra
charge for putting the coal in the

figures may be revised at any time.
Complaints about dealers who charge
more than the prices stipulated are to
be sent to Health Commissioner Frank

Everybody knows John CARROLL S
big store was burglarized last week,
his safe blown wide open and good
big wad of cash carried away.
A few days later the safe door and
some other relics of the disaster were
displayed in one of the windows, to-
gether with the following announce
ment:
"THEY STOLE OUR MONEY,
NO ONE CAN STEAL OUR
REPUTATION"
No more truthful statement was
ever made. No one can rob John Car
roll of the reputation of conducting
the best, squarest and most reliable
dry goods store in Newark, reputa-
ton we'll deserved and gained during
thirty-five years of successful busl-
ness in our midst.
No John, don't worry about losing
your reputation or your friends. When
the people want to buy goods which
they can depend upon as being just
exactly as represented, they will stil
continue to drop in and see YOU.
If you had nothing more to worry
about than the fear of the theft {
your reputation, you would sure b
up among the pictures.

Our incoming Mayor, w. H. N. Ste

bial oyster regarding his official ap-
pointments upon assuming the reins
of government of January first.
Many aspiring statesmen appear to

streering the official ship safely
through the stormy waves which
threaten it's voyage through the po-
litical ocean, but just where the
lightning will strike remains a mys-
terry which time alone can solve.

THE PLAY

Here is a freak squeeze play. The squeeze
is put on. The batter hunts a pop fly
toward third base. The runner on third,
off with the pitch, slides across the plate
while the ball is In the air. He gets to
his feet and starts for the bench.
The coacher believes the ball will be
caught and yells for the runner who has
crossed the plate to come back to third
The runner changes his course from the
bench back to third
The ball falls safe, the third baseman
not being able to make the catch. However.
he picks IN the ball and PUSHES up and
touches the runner who is about ten feet
from third base.
Does the run count OF was the runner
out?
THE INTERPRETATION
II was held the run counted. The con-
tention was made that the moment the
runner on third touched the plate he legally
scored run. Since the ball was not
caught there was no chance to retire him,
as the plate became his base the moment he
touched il, and he thereby legally scored a
run as defined in rule So
