MONTHLY BUYING
. OF COAL IS URGED
Engineer Committee Favors
This as Way to Check
Price FIurries.
Bv the Associated Press

NEW YORK. July 26.-If coal deal
.ers who buy in carload lots ordered
equal amounts every month through
out the year. there would be no price
f1urries except in event of strikes.
and hundreds of millions of dollars
would be saved the consumer, accord
ing to the report of the coal storage
committee of the American Engineer
ing Council made public today.
The buying hysteria due to the
,"spot purchaser" resulting in annual
speculation in coal buying, was de-
nounced by the committee, which
said the situation would be remedied
by the monthly purchase plan.
In March, the report pointed out.
purchases could be made on easy
terms. but the buyer is reluctant.
and consequently the mines and rail-
roads work at less than average de-
mand until August. BY October the
demand exceeds the average produc-
ton by four or five million tons. anC
railroad deliveries slow up.
Then the dealer becomes uneasy.
the report continued, and the spot
purcha ser" plays the market. sending
coal to "a ruinouS price" New high
cost mines are opened to take advan-
tage of the temporary furry, and
irresponsible brokers flock to the
scene"
The situation continues. the COM
mittee found, until the dealer finds
himself overstocked and there is
sudden drop in prices. An assured
supply and stabilized industry. be-
sides the saving in purchase price.
would be easily effected through
storage during the early months, the
report concluded.

A. While the departments have NOT
definitely ruled that veterans cannot
name two beneficiaries 1t is not likely
that they will and therefore If you
desire to leave your bonus payments
to two different persons the best and
easiest way Is to name your estate as
your beneficiary and make a will di-
viding the payments as you may wish.
Be sure to make a will if you name
your estate as beneficiary or other
wise the proceeds of your policy will
be divided according to State IN
heritance laws. which division may
not be what you desire.
