LOWER FREIGHT RATES PLANNED FOR COAL CUT Leaders Propose to Stimulate Industry by Lowering Prices. CONGRESS’ AID SOUGHT WASHINGTON, April 20,—Coal prices for consumers probably will be reduced through lower freight rates. This was a plan which Administration leaders today yirtually had decided so put through without delay. The purpose Is to slash the burdensome costs of coal, both anthracite and bituminous, so that Industry may be stimulated, and to give householders opportunity to store away winter supplies of fuel. The Interstate Commerce Commission, alarmed at the Jam of idle car equipment on the railroads. Is ready to act as soon as congressional authority is given. The necessary authority will coma under the provisions of the Frelinghuyen bill authorizing the committee to tstabllsh new coal freight rates, with big reductions for a period of months during the spring and summc-r season. Officials of the commission for some time hare agreed that "seasonal” cuts In the coal freight rates would greatly benefit the Industrial eoal situation and will result In lower costs to consumers generally, but the commission, deciding that its power does not extend so far as to make reductions merely "seasonal.” is now awaiting action by Congress. Chairman Clark has indicated that he favors this step, and it is understood the commission will order lower rates with the passage and signing of the bill now pending. Rail executives are almost a unit for the coal rate reductions, it is said, on the theory that it will stimulate buying of coal during the ordinarily slack months for winter needs, and thus give the roads a chance to utilize the thousands of coal cars now lying Idle on sidetracks for lack of traffic.

PUSS IN BOOTS JR.

By David Cory."

Well, the :riant whom littlp Puss Junior met In the last story, after he shook hands with Puss, invited him to come to his castle. So Puss mounted his big black horse and followed the giant until they came to his home. And as soon as the plant opened the gate that led into the courtyard, a litt’e blue pigeon -"'tied on his shoulder and sang this son, r ; "My ffinnt Is a kindly man, And though so strong and big, Re never hurt a little bird. Nor harmed a tiny pig." And then the giant began to laugh, for this was the first time his little blue pigeon had spoken i* rhyme. And after that he led Puss Junior's horse to the stable and then he and Puss went into the castle. “Come and sit on my knee and I'll tell you a story," said giant, after he had seated himself in his big armchair. So Puss jumped up on his lap and the giant began: “Once upon a time an old woman came through my forest. She had over her ■houlders a red shawl and on n< i r head II tall pointed hat. And as she went upon her way she came across a party of boys and girls pi-kin- mushrooms. “ ‘Look at the old witch,’ cried one of the boys. “ ‘Let us throw her in the pond, - said another, and then they all began to jeer at her. But the old woman only said: *1 am tired and hungry. Give me a few mushrooms that X may sell them in the village. My back Is too stiff to lean over to pick them.’ And then one of the boys, with a rude laugh, threw a large, \ black, poisonous mushroom at her and told her to cook it for her supper. “‘Heartless boy!’ said the old woman, and she touched the mushroom with her crutch, and It Immediately turned Into a snake. And before the wicked hoy could run away it wound itself about his leg, and without another word the old woman hobbled away into the fjrest. and by and by she came to a humble cottage where a poor woman sat spinning at her wheel. “So the old woman knocked at the door. ‘Come In,’ said the poor woman, not rising from her spinning, for she had to finish her work that night. But when she saw the poor old woman she got up and helped her to a chair and brought her food aud drink. “And after that The old woman said: ‘Give me the distaff and I will finish your work.’ And no sooner did she take the distaff in her withered, wrinkled hand than she turned into a beautiful creature all in dazzling white. Iler long floating hair was as yellow and silky as ! the fiax, and she,carried a silver distaff in her hand. “‘I am the Fairy of the Spinning I Wheel, and my duty is to watch over all who work In flax. Because you have been kind to me I will make your wheel work °f And then she waved her sil(■ver Vtaff over the spinning wheel, and away It went, spinning merrilv the golden flax." And In the next story If little Puss Junior doesn't fall asleep on the giant's xnee. I’ll tell you what happened after that.—Copyright, 1921. (To Bo ConxtnuodJ

ihe Truth About Indianapolis SHOCK ABSORBERS ONE out of every four autoistfs driving a popular-priced car last year equipped it with the Indianapolis-made shock absorbers. To supply the demand for more than 1,000,003 sets of these absorbers, more than 2,000 miles of special chrome steel wire were used in the springs—and 4,000 tons of malleable castings were made. Absorbers manufactured in Indianapolis last year had a retail value of $3,500,000. Motorists threading their way through African jungles rode on Indianapolis-made shock absorbers and the ruts in Alaskan trails were relieved of their brunt force by similar absorbers. The largest manufacturers of absorbers in the city has twenty-five distributing points, thoroughly covering the United States, and owns its freight cars in which the absorbers are shipped to these points. More than 350 men and women were engaged day and night to manufacture the shock absorbers. Fletcher American National Bank of INDIANAPOLIS Capital and Surplus, $3,000,000.

ROBISON SCORES CITY UTILITIES Would Protect Public as Against Howe’s Stand. Addressing voters at six meetings last night, Edward J. Robison, candidate for the Republican nomination for mayor, flayed the Citizens Gas Company for what he terms its mismanagement and asserted th. t letters lmd been sent out to stockholders to beat Ed Robison for mayor as he was against the gas company. “If the opposition is elected then there is no telling when or where the gas company will go in its pleas for higher rates.” Mr. Robison said. Among his meetings, Mr. Robison spoke at the Atlas Theater, Nineteenth and Martindale, and the Dream Theater, 2511 Station street. "The learned judge speaking for the opposition says that the mayor can do nothing in the matter of rates of public utilities and It all rest* with the public service commission,” the speaker declared. "But I want to know who has anything to do with rate pleas if the mayor doesn’t? He’s the. representative of you voters. If I am mayor you may be assured that I will have something to say about rates. "At present there is a wide variances between the speakers in the opposition camp. Corporation Counsel Ashby asserts that city officials have an interest in tho rates, and the other speakers declare that they have no Interest, that the public service commission has all tho interest. And, too, tho gas company will furnish standard gas and not so much air when I am mayor.” Mr. Robison related tho manner in which the street department repairs Indianapolis streets by first taking a gang

Then they will put down the streets correctly at first and not makeshift streets. “The city spent $600,000 last year on their street repairing, ash and garbage hauling under the plan of municipal operation of these departments and under contracts this same work could have been done better by at least $200,000 less. I'm for economy by reducing the cost of the city’s expenses and getting 109 per cent work and value from every dollar,” he added.

Be reiterated his platform and pointed out that under his policies the city could bo operated at less expense. Mrs. E. G.
