Considering the Paris modes for evening gowns, the skirts very short, the bodices consist- ing: of just the necessary front parts, no sleeves at all, just straps of any kind of beaded or embroidered material, one can't think of adapting the old French proverb in such circumstances without smiling.

Gives You Short Weight an’ the Other Gives You Long Ones. By Neal R. O'Hara 1919, OF The Pree Publishing Co EADING eereen favorite of America to-day is coal. Only trouble is it ain't being released fast enough. Soon as it's screened it’s shown to the public at prices that makes one reel. Coal has the leading part in “The Dearth of 4 Nation” this season, It's the one sereen comedy where the miver role is the most important. “Dearth of a Nation” is.now playing to crowded houses and empty bins. The 1919 coal situation is the same old Inferna! Triangle— operators, miners and the public. Operators and miners furnish ——— the friction, which ain't enough to warm [Gosutras Atl ind 0 ASA Ly BhaRKS HEART oO™ Ooprr ght. 8 (The New York Eveniog Wort) } the public. Miners want more dough and less work. Operators want more work and more dough. Public wants more coal and less talk. But you know where you'll find the public in the coal controversy. It's where you'll always find it—out ip the cold, Coal operators seem to think they're phone operators—they’re always ringing 4 up the price, Government is trying to reverse the charges, bat the coal operators are foxy. ey’re just Ifke the phone ops —hard to get. But if the coal operators | keep ringing up the dear old public much more they're gonna find they've got the wrong party! There's just one difference between the coal and the phone operators ops give you short weight and the phone ops give you jong ones, ’ If the coal guys would only strike while the weather's het { nobody’d care a bit, But they pull off their fuss the same time i] most of us put on our flannels. Result ts: Coal ts short, skirts | are short and booze is shot to pieces. Certainly looks like a tough . ‘ season for keeping warm. Coal is hard to get and you've gotta dig deep for {t—about $26 a ton deep. A coal pocket today ain’t where you keep your amall change—it’s where you store your life’s savings. Coal’s ee dear this winter that two thousand pounds in the U. 5. is worth as . much as £2,000 tn England. . No indeed, Old King Coal ain't making ‘em langh this season. Takes a King’s ransom to get Old King Coal these days. The old ‘«ink’s got a lotta power, but it’s all tm the power house And i ‘ ain't King Coal, but the Fuel Administration that’s distributing , the power. Getting fuel’s a 46ugh proposition now. Only soft part =< the coal situation is the supply of bituminous. But just try te get a ton of bituminous and you'll find it’s hard Fuel Admin says there ain't gonna be any heatless Mondays. That means the janitors’! give us heatless weekdays instead Bat Old Doc Garfield is after all kinds of eleo- trie lights—all kinds except the spotlight S162 1 GANA And when fuel saving starts there's gonna JOUY & LUMP o! fl be as little juice in tncandesc ts as there is in the decanters. Which ain't enough ‘o light up anything. Lotta folks never realized ft before, bot black coal’s what makes the Great White Way. Broadway's gone dry and tt looks like it’s going dark. Only other thing left for Broadway to do ts to go dead. ‘Lead, Kindly Light,” ain’t gotng to be the hymn for the guy that staggers up Broad- way in the future—it’s “Lead, Kindly Lan- tern,” more likely: New York theatres may yet have to use oil, which’ll make Broadway the kerosene circuit once more. Great White Way will be up in Long Tsland Sound pretty soon—where all the lighthouses are. Coal has certainly lifted the high cost of living comfortably. A guy tosses a few shovels of Scranton jewels through the furnace door and then goes to bed. When he wakes up next morning he’s $10 poorer and not a great deal warmer, With a lot of us guys this winter it’s a case of feeding the family or feeding the furnace, We've either got to starve or shiver, The coal you get—when you get it—is nothing to rave about, either.’ In the old days when coal was plentiful and strike leaders were few they put slate on the roof and the coal went in the cellar, But to-day it’s the coal that’s up in the air and the slate is in the cellar, In many a home to-day the coal bin’s the only thing that’s fireproof. And they sell the material for coal, Lotta dealers seem to think there’s an Bighteenth Amend- ment against coal, They're selling 2.75 stuff, which even a furnace can’t get lit up on, However, all ain’t sadness, We can still shake the shimmy to keep warm. And the coal shortage can’t last forever, It be over by next July. The Man Who Becomes the aa Copyright, 1919, by The Press Publishing Co (The New York Evening World.)
