The letter is signed | by W. A, Clark, president of the assoclation and is composed, in part, of a circular letter issued hy James | J. Phelan, fuel administrator for| Massachusetts, | The letter follows: “Gentlemen:— “Below is copy of a circular 'sent out to the lLocal Eme TPuel Distributors by the State gency Fuel Administrators of chusetts, Mr, James J. Phelan, “We feel sure that some of you | do not understand how Anthracite is being distributed this year, and as this is a very clear explanation of the plans being followed by the Anthra-| cite Producing Company, we know it will be of value to you, therefore read it carefully. New Britain had last year 60,000 ton coal for domestic use. Can only get this year 60 per cent owing to shut down of five months strike. This leaves 36,000 tons for year from April 1, 1922 to April 1, 1923, A shortage of 24,000 tons. What fuel will people accept to make up the difference ? “*There is some misunderstanding on the part of many retail dealers concerning the policy and procedure in the distribution of anthracite coal from the mines to dealers, “‘The expectation is that the pro- ducers shall be able to mine and ship: between September 11 when mining was resumed, and next March 31, ap- proximately 609 of the tonnage min- ed and shipped last year. Therefore, dealers cannot reasonably expect to secure shipments in excess of this 60%. * 'All producers have been instruct- ed by the Pennsylvania I‘uel com- mission to make shipments this year to'the same cities and towns to which they made shipments during the last | toal year. Dealers, therefore, should file their orders with the same shippers who supplied them last year, Some dealers failed to file orders with their shippers for 609, of the ton- nage shipped last year. “‘In determining the quantities due to have been shipped since September 11, the method is to take 609 of the gross tons shipped within the last coal year as determined by the invoices dated between April 1, 1921 and March 31, 1922, and not the tonnage received at destination between these dates. Divide this 60% by 29, the number of weeks to lapse between September 11 and next March 31, which gives the weekly rate at which shipments are to be ma Multiply this weekly rate by the number of en- tire weeks which have elapsed since September 11, which will give the to- tal shipments due to date, * ‘Two important rules of the com- mittee on distribution of the Penn- &ylvania fuel commission are as fol- letter ey imer- Massa~ ‘' ‘First: Any shipper may elect to sell the tonnage he is obligated to ship this year to a given community to another dealer within the same community, than the one to whom he made shipment Jast year, ‘“‘Second: The committee on dis- tribution will devéte its attention to shipments to a community as a whole, and will not deal with shipments to any particular dealer, *‘All shipments, hoth “Company” and “Independent” priced coal, are charged up to the anthracite quota due a community. Dealers should re- member that while purchases of *“In- dependent” coal may temporarily in- | creases their supplies, it does not in- crease the quota to a community, For illustration: Shipments to dealers by their regular suppliers may be below NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, DECEMBER ‘EW Y men when [representing the assoclations interest- . |CATHOLIC How to Save Coal || l Rules for Burning Butuminous Ritundnous, soft coal, will, as a rule, give out less heat than anthracite when fired in the or- dinayy residence heater, Hence more attention will usually be required when using soft coal, A deep fuel bed is desirable, also, rule, more draft by the dampers, After the fuel is partly burned, more heat can be obtalned by breaking up the fire bed with the hoe or poker if the fuel bed fs caked, Stir up thoe fire and get it hot | before adding new fuel, Preliminary to firing a new charge, push the burned fuel to the back or sides of the fire box, heaping it high up on to the sides of the fire box walls, IMire fresh fuel into the hole in the hot fuel hed, making it level with the heaped-up burning fuel, After firing check the draft to make the fire burn slowly, set- ting the dampers as found best by experience, A large charge of soft coal will burn slowly for several hours, giving out moderate heat, If more heat is demanded, it can be secured by breaking up the part- ly ignited mass with thé fire tools. A little air should be admitted through the slides in the fire door when burning bituminous coal, as a par, while the shipments to the com- munity as a whole be up to par by reason of purchases of additional “In- dependent” coal. The result is the committee on distrrbution will not ge regular shippers to speed up, be- 1se the shipments of “Independent’” al have offset the shortage in ship- ments due from regular supplies.’ “These plans are being followed in all sections where anthracite is used, not alone in Massachusetts, “Yours truly, ‘W. A. CLARK, President.”" Mr.“Johnston states that New Brit- ain had 60,000 tons of coal for dom- estic use last year. This year only 60 per cent. can be obtained. This leaves 36,000 for New Britain between April 1, 1922, and April 1, 1923, a shortage of 24,000 tons.

Woodcock, manager of the Yale| Athletic association, in an article that appears in the Yale Daily News, These changes include reduction in al- lotments to certain classes of stu- dents and in a re-wording of the “personal use” pledge on applications, Mr. Woodcock suggests that these changes will help solve the increas- ingly difficult problem of finding seats for sthousands of Yale men who are| entitled to them. He further writes that discrimination in allotting seats will be of more ultimate value than adding a balcony to the bowl which; would place spectators too far away from the field, The rulings, as announced by Mr, Woodcock, will bar former mem- bers of the music and arts schools, who are not graduates, from receiv-| ing tickets. One bicket each will be given to graduates, however. One ticket will be alloted to ex-members of other professional schools and two tickets to members and graduates. cast, will read: *“I will personally occupy one of the seats called for on this application or return the tickets t® the athletic association tor redemption.” This pledge must be signed.

They released artists like Wanda Hawley and Mary Miles Minter and hampered Rodolph Valentino with a court injunction. They spend $300,- 000 on a big production and then expect us to take it at high royalties, while an independent producer may be able to make a better play for one- tenth the money. We are going to encourage the independents.” The directors f the new organi- zation include W. A. True of Hart- ford, Sidney S. Cohen of New York, Harry Davis of Pittsburgh, J. L.
