OUT IN GOLD

Orders.

The bright, shiny limousines of
majority faction city councilmen to-
day are conspicuous by their alb
senceN from the municipal garage.
Gone are the days when a swift
turn of a screw or a little personal
attention for the throbbing motors
could be obtained for the asking.
Departed likewise is the privilege
of parking space immune from po.
lice stickers within the ample gar
age interior.
Private Cars Banned
The board of works has issued an
order directing that no private cars
shall be allowed to enter the city
garage. Board Anembers say the
city garage is designed to house
only the automobiles belonging to
the city, and used for city business.
For many months the majority
faction city councilmen met at the
garage in the early morning hours
to plan activities for the day.
President Boynton j Moore would
dispatch post haste Councilman Otis
T.. Bartholomew to present a request
to Mayor DIT vail.

Here DIR. Austin H. Todd would
come with important tiding of af-
fairs at the police station.
Through the doors would purr a
new automobile driven by Council
man Walter r. Dorsett, bearing a
manufacturers license. a car which
Dorsett is using while he decides
whether or not to buy.
But the councilmanic private cars
de luxe must park elsewhere.
At least as long as the board MEM
bers are of their present opinion.

HOW MUCH
WILL COAL
cost YOU?
Price Should Stay Same or
Go Up, Say Local Re-
taiIerS.
CITE BRITISH STRIKE
But U. S. Mines Bureau Pre-
diets Drop.

Will Mr.. Indianapolis pay more or
less to fill his coal bin this year
than he did last?
He should pay less, say United
States Bureau of Mines experts, ac
cording to a Washington dispatch.
and cite the fact that the average
cost of soft coal in the United States
is s2.04 at the mines compared to
$2.21 at this time last year and $2.O1
in 1924.
He will pay as much. perhaps
more, say local retail fuel dealers,
who also declare that IL the British
mine strike continues Mr.. Consumer
may have a hard time to get coal
at all.
Flint coal and Pocohantas are
about the same in price now as
they were last year. but II the
British strike continues and exports
increase as they have been, there Is
bound to be a raise, IL not a short
age" said Edward Joseph, manager
OF the Hoosier Brick and Coal Com
pany. High grade soft Goals range
from $3.50 to 50, a ton retail now.
and II the, strike continues Joseph
predicted that these prices may
mount to S11 or S12.
VIII Not Drop Z
o. r. Stubs. manager Of the
Marion Fuel Company, 1902 n.
Senate Ave-. agreed with these
ideas. He quoted the retail price of
Island Creek. West Virginia coal. at
81 a ton now. saying that It certain,
ly would not drop and Increasing ex.
ports. may cause II to raise.
'Pocahontas coal now is so a ton.
and We cannot get enough of it."
declared II. L. Dithmer, manae ger of
the Polar Ice and Fuel Company
THE market is bullish and for high
grade soft Goals the mine prices are
in excess of that of last year. Coal
that in 1925 cost $3.50 at the mines
now is selling at s4.50%
But local wholesalers said that
they do not expect any more than
the usual seasonable increase in
prices of bituminous coal. and pre-
dicted that the winter market would
be about equal. or maybe a lite In
excess OF that OF last year.
Slightly Higher
Both Virginia and Kentucky coal
is slightly higher at the present
time than in 1925. they declared. In
diana mines are operating at about
so per cent capacity. which is
slightly better than last year.
Warren Smith of the Consolidated
Colleries Company, however. sees in
the increased exports to Great Bri-
tain, more than two million tons. or
so per cent. so far this year, sur
port of the opinion that prices may
advance.
But the Washington reports offe=
ray OF hope. Dispatches say an
end of the British strike Is in pros
pect-before winter.
So with labor conditions in this
country indicating smooth sailing at
least until next spring and with pro-
duction running higher than the sea-
sonal average of the last three
years, the Bureau of Mines experts
predict Mr.. Consumer is in for at
least one winter without worries.

Was Your Baby's Birth Reg
istered?

One baby out of every twenty-five
that was born in the counties of Mary
land in 1925 was not listed in the
State records according to a careful
checking up of the births registered
during the year. The total number of
births recorded was 16,500. Tests
made to prove the completeness of the
registration showed that 95.42 per
cent-in round number So per cent
of all the births that occurred were
reported. The four per cent not reg
istered means total of 791 babies
whose names are not down on the
State records. An annual omission of
nearly 800 entries each year would
mean the total omission of nearly
eight thousand births from the State
records in ten years.
AS a result of the survey referred
to above, the State Board of Health
has recommended the prosecution of
twenty-five physicians and four mid
wives for failure to report births in
accordance with the State laws. 1t
is expected that other prosecutions
will follow in number of cases still
under investigation. Authority to take
the necessary action has been placed
in the hands of Mr.. j. Davis Dono-
van, chief of the division of legal adj
ministration of the State Department
of Health.
Speaking of the reason for the
''drive" to make the registration of
births in Maryland 100 per cent COM
plete, DR.. F. V. Better, chief of the
State Bureau of Vital Statistics said:
Birth registration is of equal impor-
lance to the State and to the individ
ual. The State Department of Health
is the official record keeper of the in
come and outgo of the population, that
is, the records of the births and the
deaths. Every plan made by the de-
partment to safeguard the health of
the people of Maryland is based upon
these facts of life and death.
"That is the States side of the
story. The child's side is of especial
concern to the individual and to his
family. Here are some of the uses
for the official records of his birth:
"To prove his identity, his age and
his citizenship; to prove his right to
go to school; to prove his right to
work; to prove his right to an inheri-
lance; to prove his right to marry; to
prove his right to hold office; to prove
his right. to secure passports for for
eign travel; to prove his mothers
right to a widows pension.
Compared with some other States,
Maryland's record for birth registra-
ton is good, but we want to make it
