A Plecker, in a statement published here today. The statement of Dr. Plecker, who is registrar of vital statistics of Vir- ginla, said) “It is untrue that any of the litera- ture I have sent out is insulting or offensive, as the propaganda letter sent out by the press bureau of the ociation relates. pamphiets which have been termed offensive deal with educational and health matters, and are designed to be help- ful to the negro. But supersensitive | persons seem to have found them ob-| jectionable. Very well.

This year this will be especially true in view of the expiration of the Anthracite Operators’ agreement with the miners on August 31st. While it is not possible to foretell what the result will be, it is our advice that you protect yourself against possible trouble by taking advanatge of the April prices effective April 1st, which will be the lowest for the year. You will find our prices the lowest con- sistent with high quality, and first class service. Get in touch with us and play safe on your next Winter’s coal supply. Main Office, 1319 G St. N.W.
