FUEL SITUATION MOST CRITICAL OF THEVINTER Expected Shipments Have Failed to Arrive,' Says Fuel Administrator Bates. County Fuel, Administrator, Bates issued toe following statement Thursday: "The coal situation In Richmond is today the most critical that it has been at any time during the winter.' Ship

ments -wblcti ire conuaenuy expeciea have; failed us Several cars which were enroute have been confiscated and many of the dealers are entirely oat, except for the orders which they ere now dellrering. rSo far. Richmond has been fortunate enough to pull through the severe winter without much suffering in the homes, bnt the time has arrived when those who- have coal must take care of their friends and neighbors;, who are lees fortunate. It will be absolutely necuBsary in many cases to doable sp and save the heat of two hemes whers one will take eare of two families. "The severe winter has not only handicapped the railroads in delivering coal but has curtailed the production by the mines. The State Department has Informed me that the mines are 2,600 cars behind with their emergency orders, eighteen of these cars were to have come to Richmond, but none have been shipped. "Most rigid conservation of the supplies in the homes 1b absolutely necessary and in order to conserve, rooms must be closed off and the temperatare kept at as low a point as possible. "It is not the business or function o this Fuel Administration office to either place orders or make arrangements for deliveries. All that this office can do is to attempt to supply the dealers and see that such supplies as dc reach Richmond are made to go as far as possible. F. S. Bates, Wayne Co. Fuel Administrator.

TELLS CONDITIONS IN WASHINGTON

Miss Hazel Ray, Richmond girl who is in the employ of the government at Washington, is delighted with her work. In a letter to Superintendent of Mails Wilson, and who is also Secretary of Civil Service board. Miss Ray says: "I understood that you desired a little information regarding living conditions in Washington. 1 being so equably situated did not know so much about it, but have Investigated and find that conditions are not nearly so black as painted. Every day the demand for rooms increase, but simultaneously the supply does the same. "My suggestion to a girl is this: After accepting the appointment, and the date on which she Is to report is definitely known (10 days is usually allowed) I think it would be well for her to write to one of the bureaus set forth on the enclosed card telling them when she expects to occupy t,he quarters desired, and I am quite sure she will be well taken care of. In addition to these bureaus, the Y. W. C. A. is caring for hundreds of girls every week, not In the Y. W. C. A. itself, as it is full, but in securing rooms in private families. "If girls would go about looking for a room in a systematic way, much worry and inconvenience would be ditspensed with, but instead, they get all upset and are ready to give up if they have not found palatial quarters, next door to their place of business within five minutes after their arrival this I think is the main trouble. "I am enjoying life in Washington very much, and am sure no one will be worse off for a similar experience. This is one of the bureaus which has grown so quickly in April there were about 15 clerks in the Signal Corps now we have over 600."
