"lour fiance Is a lucky fellow,” Judge Sehulman allowed, a* he slapped the S2OO fire on Chris. Little Muriel's blush of pleasure at the compliment put to shame the most artful rouge In the world of cosmetics.

Not many months ago, factories, public utilities and other large consumers of bituminous coal were buying any coal they could get, and paying any price demanded. Railroads were congested with coal trains moving from the mines, and long strings o* “empties” going back for more. Freight cars had to be rationed for other commodities. All business suffered. ( Now there is a surplus of both coal and transport. But the country is entering the harvest season when the movement of the crops creates a heavy demand for cars. Coal consumers who now anticipate a portion of their winter needs by ordering fuel for early delivery have the advantage of a “buyers’market,” and the certainty of prompt rail deliveries. The buyer of coal now can obtain the precise grade of fuel best suited for his use. The New York Central Lines, consuming 12 to 15 million tons of coal a year for locomotive power, have built up their own fuel reserves as insurance against the uncertainties of the coming winter. At the present time, we have facilities and equipment for the movement of coal to industries along our Lines that have not yet made adequate provision for winter reserves.
