They got at the radio when
she wasn't looking and took it

expert can hope to get them to-

What's the matter with that
boy and girl, anyway, she asks.
First it was a clock they pulled

And so on.
Some one comes along and

House Committee

Five Year Air Program

Washington, Feb. 11-(AP)-The
house naval committee gave it's APP
prevail today to a five year building
program costing ss5,07S,000. 1t would
become operative in the fiscal year
beginning June 80.
The program, as recommended to
the house, includes both heavier than
air and lighter than air activities
and by the end of the period would
assure the service of 1000 new air
planes and two dirigibles, each three
times the size of the wrecked Shen-
andoah. The total cost of the two
dirigibles would account for $3,000,-
600 of the total.
The committee also recommended
an appropriation of 100000 for the
navy to contract with the Aircraft
Development Corporation. backed by
Ford interests, for an all metal air.
ship. This would be in addition to
the total carried in the program.
The amount proposed in the pro-
gram would be in addition to the S.
100000 carried in the naval bill to
provide for IS new planes during the
next fiscal year. Coupling this
amount with the $12,2S5,000 recon-
mended in the program, total of
5,5S5,000 would be available for the
fiscal year 1917, to provide 313 new
planese.

Scranton, Pa, Feb. 17.-(AP)-
Signing of the five year agreement
that sends $4,000 mine workers, idle
for more than five and half
months. back to work tomorrow.
took place after 5 o'clock this after
noon.
The final scene in the great coal
strike, that paralyzed business, bank
rupted storekeepers and brought dis
,tress to many, was enacted in the
offices of President William w. In
glis, of the Glen Alden Coal Com
pany, in this city. The II negotia-
tors, six representing each side, and
the chairman and secretary, grouped
themselves about a large, flat-topped
desk in the spacious Office and sign
ed IL copies, one for each of the
Ia signerS and the remaining copies
for the official records.
There was no further discussion
of the terms of the agreement, all
that having ended last Friday in
Philadelphia.
Anthracite will be going to market
in large quantities tomorrow night,
in fact 1000 tons of the smaller sizes
left the mines of the Philadelphia
and Reading Coal and Iron Com
pany in the Schuylkill region today
for Philadelphia and nearby points.
This is coal that was mined before
the suspension became effective last
September and was kept in stock for
local use. The opening of the mines
tomorrow enabled the company to
ship this fuel today to customers
who have been clamoring for coal.
The six members of the operators
negotiating committee tonight could
not give definite figures of their ship
ments for the first day. but generally
they believed the tonnage hoisted
tomorrow for the entire region would
approach % percent. or $1,000 TONS
of the daily average. All this fuel,
however, will not be sent to market,
as many of the companies will have
to first supply their own needs IN
order to operate their collieries.
What is sent to market tomorrow
will be distributed on pro rata
basis by each company, it was stat
ed tonight. There are about 125
producing companies in the anthra-
cite field and each will have its own
policy in handling it's production.
Large companies announced last
week there would be no increase in
the normal winter price of anthra-
cite regardless of the pressure of de-
mand and this was reiterated here
today. However, the officers of the
larger companies said they could not
speak for small individual operators
that may make the most of their
opportunity.
Railroads tonight were, ready for
the resumption.

warrant is outstanding, looking to

York shortly before the labor de-
partment issued the order for his
arrest.
The recommendations of the
