Washington, Aug. 12.—While hizh! hopes for early settlement of the coal strike are entertained by the admin- stration, avertinz any necessity of re- sorting to the “‘drastic action” py the goverament repeatedly hinted at, re- sults of the prolonged stoppage in production are expected to keep the government coal distributing machin- ery busy for a long period. It was predicted officially for the administration yesterday ghat the an- thracite strike would reach it climax in less than a week. At same time however {t was pointed out that government information dicates an existing shortage of 30, 000,000 tons which could not be made up within a year's time. The Jnost recent reports on hituminous production, it was added show that wwith full operations restored the nor- ‘mal surplus could not.be in storage until next April. ‘With these conditions in mind the central coal committee controlling government agency in allotment of coal priorities in the strike emer- gency, according to fuel distributor Spencer is mapping out its course so as to adjust the price question to meet any turn of events in the producing flelds. The committee will promptly cloge the priority door he said, on any producer who fails to conform to the Hoover falr price schedules the A. Pinkus EYESIGHT SPECIALIST 800 MAIN ST, 'PHONE 370 .

Mr, could not wait for suggestions from Herald readers, and proceeded in the best way he knew how to get the thing out of there running up Use A Hot Air Bag. However, some of our correspond- ents have offered solutions which fol- low: Editor Herald I have been somewhat worried my- self as to how the big shovel was to be gotten out of the hole but now I how simple it is; just attach a huge canvas bag to it and allow the | see | hot air from outside the fence to run‘ into it and the darned thing will float out of itself Your UNCLE DUDLEY. Editor's Note—We ghall have to discard this suggestion, it savors too much of the airplane scheme that was vesterday. The only dif- ference in the two plans is the use of lighter-than-air, rather than heav- {er-than-air traction power. Besides, once having fllled the bag and start- | ed the shovel in its upward flight it ‘mlghl be difficult to get it down again. It might become a perman- ent fixture ‘Dmpflr up there now is enough.

This is 25 less than the num- ber who met death in such accidents during the corresponding period of lagt year. Considering the increased | nlimber of motor vehicles registered this year, the figures for this year represent a decrease in proportion to | the total registration of nearly 30 per | cent in automobile fatalities. 22 Killed in July Twenty-two people died as a result of motor vehicle accidents of the past month, as compared to 26 such deaths |in July, 1921, New Haven held the record for the month with four au- tomobile fatalitles, and New Britain and Norwalk came second, with two each. The rest ware scattered, being | reported from all sections of the state. | Twelve were due to the carelessness of pedestrians, according to coroner’ | findings, three to careless opergfion of a motor vehicle, two to speeding, two to sheer reckless driving, one to inexperienced driving (without an operator's license,) one to obscured vision of & motorist on a highway, and one to glaring headlights Credit Safety Campaign { The reduction in fatalities involv- | ing motor vehicles in the face of a great increase in the number of cars on the public highways, is attributed by the motor vehicle department to the effect of the progressive safety |campaign being conducted through- out the greater part of Connecticut. 53 In New Britain During the month of July, 1,241 |general accidents were reported, in- volving motor vehicles, or nearly one for every 1,000 cars registered in the state, of these, 639 occurred in seven cities, Bridgeport, led with 164, fol- lowed by New Haven with 158, Hart- ford with 155, New Britain with 53, Waterbury with 48, New London with 41 and Meriden with 20 LINIMENT IN BEER | This Is Responsible for Many Deaths | in Middle West Prohibition Officers Are Told—Man Blinded in N.

GIRL CONFESSES TO MURDER OF TWO MEN Husband and Father-in-Law Are| Victims of Young Bride's Acts— Calm in Court. Muskegon, Mich, Aug 12.—Mrs, Medo Hodell, aged 26, a bride of a year, sat in the court house at White Cloud, Newago county, vesterday and without tear told how she had poisoned her father-in-law, David Hodell, 87 years old, on February 4, and then slew her husband, Romie D. Hodell, 31 years old, on May 6. Her mother, Mrs. Alice Dudgeon, and her two brothers, Lee and Herman, as well as Robert Rennett, a farm hand, are jointly charged with the murder of the younger Hodell. “David Hodell came to our place when his wife died,” testified the bride, “and he was feeble an re- quired attention, so 1 decided he would he better dead. 1 placed a spoonful of arsenic in his coffee at noon and a short time later he fell as he started to open the door with an armful of wood. He died in a few minutes.” Mrs. Hodell in her sworn confes- sion says she told her mother and| brothers of killing her father-in-law. | “We had been fighting and quarrel- ling, "reads the second confession, “and Romie was lying on a cot.

USE 20465 QUARTS OF MILK HERE DAILY One to Every Three Persons, Ac-| cording to State Record in the office at Dairy and Food Commissioner Holt show that New, Britain is fifth among state cities in the number of quarts of milk (in liquid form) consumed daily. Hart- ford is first and New Haven second.| The records in the office of the atate food and dairy commissioner were complled in response to a request from Leonard H. Healy, secretary to| | the state hoard of agriculture for ip- | formation as to the amount of mlik | consumed in liquid form in several of | the Connecticut cities, the report hav- | ing been compiled on July 28. The state records of the amount of | milk used in the various cities is very close to a rough estimate furnished the state department by Manager| Hough, of the Connecticut Milk Pro-! ducers' association. This estimate is based on city reports to the associa- | tion and when it is considered that the state record does not contain milk produced and sold from one and two cow dairies it may be considered that hoth reports indicate the accuracy with which the two departments have surveyed the milk sitnation in Con- necticut. The following figures show the es- timates of the amount of milk used| in the various cities of the state, and | the amount that the state survey dls- closes is actually consumed each day: City State Estimate, Record | 75,000 78,700 .70,000 87,020 ! .60,000 58,050 .35,000 32,000 Records on file | | Hartford New Have: Bridgeport Waterbury | genc New Britain .....20,000 Meriden ve.412,000 Middletown 8,000 New London 8,000 Ansonia, Shelton and Derby .10,000 Manchester 9,000 ° Danbury ... 9,000 Bristol . 8,000 East Hartford 4,000 Stamford 9,000 Torrington . 7,000 {ADRIATIC BLOW-UP CAUSES FIVE DEATHS Exact Cause of Explosion on Liner to Be Determined by Specia], Investigation.
