ways -. coal is speeding today from
the Anthracite mines to eastern
families perhaps to yours. Actually
millions MORE tons than in pre.war
years are being produced - and by
1000 fewer miners.
No one fails to realize the vital need
for every fragment Of this precious
coal to help offset the national all.
fuel shortage that grips this area with
especial severity. Your Coal Dealer
is making every endeavor to dis.
tribute it quickly and fairly.
Unprecedented demands of war and
industry, army encampments and
heaters converted from other fuels
mean that there will never be quite
enough to make every one absolutely
comfortable at all times this season. A
blizzard or other delivery emergency
may temporarily upset still further
the precarious balance between de.
mand and war.taxed supply.

FOR 20 years, Leonard Nor
gan May, one Of London's
u best known lawyers, kept
a mysterious little black
book, jim WHICH he scrubbed
notations at odd hours Of the
day and night.
Friends OF the barTister
were often puzzled by the
secretive way in which he
made these entries, but he
never offered any explana
ton.
The little book was in con-
slant use Sometimes after
buying a newspaper Mr. May
would stop and inscribc some
thing ia il. Then again he
would jot down a note after
coming out of a barber shop.
Rarely was he seen without
his book.
For two decades his fellow
law ers wondered about
Mays strange actions and,
whenever they got together

In n, the talk invariably
swung around 10 the little
black book.
Now the mystery has been
solved. The Britishor's recent
death att the age Of 60, and

his estate disclosed that the

had made such meticulous
memos was the key 10 his

convention demanding "the
return of all japanese aliens
and persons of Japanese an

Opponents of the move precipitat-

they introduced an alternative res

Christ's law of love and brother
hood for all men"
AS the convention moved into its

bring in their recommendation re-

Decisive
Battles Loon,
By UNITED PRESS

Tokyo newspapers called for in
creased production of aircraft and
other war materials Friday and
warned that decisive battles" were
developing in the Philippines.
Editorials in three leading news
papers stressed that the United
States was moving for new, and
perhaps greater, thrust at the heart
of Japan, according to Domei news
agency broadcast recorded by the
federal communications commission.
Domei introduced its broadcast of
the editorial digest by asserting that
the Pacific war was entering the
decisive stage"
An earlier Domei broadcast, also
reported by the FEC, indicated,
however, that while the japanese
were gloating over the alleged vic
tory off Formosa. the loss of Jap
anese aircraft in the engagement
was causing some alarm.
