She was a memher or the League of American Pen Women, the Huguenot Our growth, over a period of twenty- three years, has been due to the fact that we pioneered low funeral prices in this com- munity, and that we have always, since we came into being, offered the LOWEST funeral prices in Washington. We emphasize these things so that there may be no need for confusion in the mind of any persons. Our position in the matter is clear; there can be no quibbling, no equivo- caton. Regardless of what others may do, our rigid policy is that our service may be had for LESS. In these days of eco- nomic stress, this definite and positive assurance is much needed and deeply appreciated.

HARRISBURG, ‘' Ark., September 23. —Herman Ledbetter, 31-year-old farm- er, was captured today and charged with the murder of his 3-year-old step- son, who was beaten to death near here Thursday. Swu of citizens joined officers in & search for him following the issuance of a first-degree murder warrant on the complaint of his wife whom he married & year ago. Disappeared From Home.

LIKE THE STERLING MARK ON SILVER OF THE COAL INDUSTRYI Trademarking has brought with it higher standards and more uniform quality. Just as “Sterling” on silver denotes a definite standard of quality, other products are chosen by trademarked names because it is known that certain definite and uniform Q. What is ‘blue coal’? A. ‘blue coal’ is White Ash. ... It is not a substitute or a by-product. It is the same celebrated White Ash Anthra- cite that for over 70 years has been mined in Northern Pennsylvania by the Glen Al- den Company, the largest an- thracite producer in America ... and now colored blue. Q. Why is it colored blue? A. It is colored blue for your protection . . . so that you can instantly identify it. This distinguishing color trade- marks it and positively pre- vents substitution to you or ‘to us. Q. How does ‘blue coal’ assure me of alwcays getting the same quality? A. No other coal can be col- ored blue. This is a patented process. Therefore, in buying ‘blue coal’ you are always as- suredl of the same superior Glen Alden White Ash An- thracite, always prepared with the same painstaking care and of the same uniformly high quality. It is the only coal actually bearing a trademark . . » the blue tint. qualities are always to be had in those products. And now, coal has been added to this long list of trademarked products. For ‘blue coal’ is trademarked . . . it is actually tinted blue so that you can instantly identify it. Therefore, when you buy ‘blue coal’ you have the same quality that you have come to associate with other trademarked commodities. assurance of uniform The color-marking of ‘blue coal’ is a patented process. No other coal can be so marked. It has always been the policy of this Company to furnish its customers with the best coal that money could buy. In keeping with this policy we quickly recognized the fact that ‘blue coal’, trademarked as it is by Glen Alden, the largest producer of White Ash Anthracite in the world, would necessarily mean superior quality, year after year. a coal of uniformly With all its advantages, ‘blue coal’ costs no more than unbranded coals. Ask for ‘blue coal’ . . . see the blue color . . . then you can be sure you’re getting fuel of the highest quality every time you order. Order a trial ton or a binful, Burnit. Come pare it, and you will be convinced of the merits of ‘blue coal’. ‘blue coal’ Better heat for less money @IFFITH-@NSUMERS OMPANY 1319 G STREET, N.W. METROPOLITAN 4840 GREAT ROLL CALL) = Central Committee, Facing Relief Emergency, Calls for Increased Membership. The American Red Cross, asserting it faces the greatest relief emergency since the World War, yesterday adopted reso- lutions at a special meeting of its Cen- tral Committee calling for greater sup- port through increased membership everywhere. Its membership last year splaced at more than 4,000,000, the organization %ill attempt to surpass this figure dur- g the annual roll call for members which will open Armistic day and con- clude Thanksgiving day. Membership ‘ees are shared by the local chapters and the national organization. The meeting of the Central Commit- tee, over which Chairman John Barton Payne presided, was marked by the elec- tion_of William Fortune, chairman of chapter in Indianapolis, to fill the vacancy on the committee caused by the death of Mrs. Frank V. Hammar. ‘The resolution calling for aid, adopt- ed after Judge Payne reported on the relief given more than 15,000,000 per- sons during the past year and the emergencies facing the organization and its chapters, including the administra- tion of the remaining 45,000,000 bushels of wheat and the 500,000 bales of cot- ton voted by Congress for Red Cross distribution to the needy as food and clothing, follows in part: “The American Red Cross today faces a great emergency. Demands for its services exceed those of any period since the World War. “Millions are without employment. They have seen their resources dwindle in the economic catastrophe, as vic- tims of disaster have their possessions snatched from them by tornado, flood, fire and di ht. During the last year Red Cross aid has been carried to more than three and a half million of these families. This relief, supplementing valiant efforts of local communities, has reached into every State. “The Central Committee of the Amer- ican Red Cross. therefore, urges every chapter and branch of the national or- ganization to take such steps in per- fecting its roll call organization as will assure the membership increases called for by this emergency.” Births Reported.
