BOOTLEG COAL.
SELLERS DOING
HEAVY BUSINESS

SHAMOKIN, Pa, July. 6. UP
Coal bootlegging has become a well
organized business on a large scale,
according to coal and iron police
engaged in efforts to wipe out its
illegal mining in the Pennsylvania
anthracite territory.
The bootlegging is conducted
principally in abandoned workings
or in crop falls close to the sur
face where the coal veins are near
enough to be reached by short tun-
nels.
The work is carried on by miners
cut of regular employment, or by
Workmen after their regular work
ing day.
According to the industrial po-
lice, one organization in this Sec
ton has developed a profitable bus
mess through illegal mining. The
miners are paid about SO ton for
coal so mined and the organization
distributes the product at much
higher prices.
The average truckload carries
four tons, for which the seller re-
ceives about $32 Two trips can be
made daily.
While many arrests have been
made of men engaged in such min
ing, the practice continues to
spread.

PLYMOUTH
FLOATING POWER

To produce in 1881 an achievement

and pricing so revolutionary that it
transcends every previous standard

the field of lowest price is to chal-

That is precisely what the New
Plymouth does.
For years, while designing fine

Now they give you the results of
their labors and discoveries
The New Plymouth, quality car
of lowest price with the Smoothness
of an Eight and the Economy of a

Floating Power.
Here is power unshack1ed, yet
power as smooth as satin, as soft as

SUICIDE BRIDGE
CAUSES TROUBLE
TO WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, July 6. U.P) -
Washington's million dollar -
bridge, from which many persons
have leaped to their death, has be-
come so famous that police rush
there at the slightest mention Of
the absence of the suicide"
Recently several police patrols
dashed to the bridge, sirons screech-
ing, only to be baff.ed by the abb
sence of the suicide"
It happened when Clarence A.
Aspinwall, president of a storage
company, stalled his car on the
bridge. He went in search of tow
truck. A passerby, having read Of
the number of persons that had
jumped from the bridge, derided the
occupant of the dead" automobile
had committed suicide
He called police. People came
from all directions and soon line
of cars the length Of the bridge
was tangled into a mass.
Police searched for the body
Soon Aspinwall returned to get his
car. He was told a man had leaped
from the bridge He aided police
Congestion became SO bad that
the officers ordered everyone off
the bridge. In this way, they
thought, the abandoned machine
would be left. After the bridge had
been cleared, they approached AS
pinWallS car and began to take
down the license plate numbers.

SPECIAL HEATING
RATES QUOTED BY
NATURAL GAS CO.

A special heating rate has Just
been filed by Natural Gas Corpora
ton of California, which will be-
come effective on July 10, according
to r. L. Hayden, district manager
of the company here.
This rate has been established in
accord with suggestions made by
city officials and local residents in
this area for rate to place the
comfort and convenience of gas
heating on an economical basis in
this community. Similar rates have
also been established for other
towns in California served by this
organization.
The new rate will be available up
on annual contract, and may be
used for heating alone, or in COM
bination with other domestic SerV-
ice through the same meter, accord
ing to Hayden, who further states:
This new rate which we have
filed with the railroad commission
and which has been approved by
that body, will materially reduce
the cost of gas in homes where COM
plete utilization is made of this new
fuel, and will be a welcome an
nouncement to residents of this
area who have already found gas
an economical, comfortable and
convenient fuel for household and
commercial use.
This new rate is available upon
application for residences, flats or
M, nj, te- hi inI,
ly installed space heating equip
ment of approved types, aggregating
10000 BTU hourly burner capacity
This means that where you are us
ing gas for heating, it will also re-
duce the cost per thousand cubic
feet for gas used in cooking, water
heating and refrigeration.
In order to take advantage of
these new rates it is only necessary
to have two radiant fires or their
equivalent in heating capacity in
stalled in your home, which brings
this reduction within the reach OF
almost every user of gas in this
community"
The new schedule is as follows:
First 1000 cubic 1eet per meter
per month, 17.5c per 100 cubic feet;
Next 1000 cubic feet per meter
per month, 15.0c per 100 cubic feet;
Next 1000 cubic feet per meter
per month, 10.0c per 100 cubic feet;
All over 5000 cubic feet per me-
tel per month, 9.0c per 100 cubic
feet.
This schedule covers the COM
modify charge and there is also the
regular 81 per meter service charge
which is necessary with all rates
filed with the state railroad COM
mission.
"AS can be seen from the above.
this new schedule o. rates makes an
even more economical fuel than
ever before, and leads back to the
old axiom of the more gas you use,
the less it costs Coupled with the
ease of operation of gas, it's clean
illness and the safety factors in
volved, it is felt by company Off
cialS that it will become increas-
ingly popular during the summer
months, with many homes COM
pletely equipped for the use of gas
by the arrival of winter, when heat
ing will be in demand.
All local residents are invited to
call at the local office of Natural
Gas Corporation of California and
ask for a complete explanation OF
this new schedule of rates, or
phone call will bring a representa-
tive to your home to discuss these
at your convenience

kins, that great educator, at the other
end. So much influence and effect
has the teacher upon the student.
Just SO, the efficient and conscientious
teacher OF music is the true educational
center for this art. There Is no need
of an elaborate conservatory If the
teacher is an inspiration to the pupil.
We have such teachers here. We
have as good as any, even though
they are not as well advertised, as
widely exploited, as some in other
areas. Let washington become recog-
nized rs q musical center and there
win be no occasion for the student to
go abroad, to another American city
or to Europe, for. the prestige Of having
studied somewhere else than at home.

Let us send out our thoughts to Peter

through our cooperative effort and
