You "V cant say, when the leaves begin to fall, that you didnt have enough time to order your coal. In another two months at the most it is going to be almost too late to get your coal supply. Then you wont be ready when the temperature begins to drop. During the summer months, when homeowners formerly paid but little attention to their coal bins, there had always been a definite slump in coal production. The producers called the months the normal off season period. This year, though, because of the e production high rate of despite the lack war-tim- , of fuel purchasing by the home and apartment owners, large stores, and other commercial the centers mines are now working at 90 per cent of capacity. What lies ahead for those who have not purchased their coal duris easy to see. At ing the the present time American industry has not, as yet, reached its full war-tim- e capacity of production for Victory. Fall and early winter will see the nation at this peak period. Theyll Be Oat of Lack. Then, when industry is humming its song of death for Hitler and his stooges, if Mr. Jones, or Mr. or Mrs. Andy Tardie have not ordered their coal to keep the home fires burning, it is very probable that they are going to be out of luck. Theyll probably have to spend some very miserable' days until the coal they order LATE arrives. Why so? Heres why: Increased production to peak records in U. S. factories is going to require more coal.

At the same time, W. W. Tim-michief of the plumbing and heating branch, announced the creation of an operations section which will continue an over-a- ll study. This study of the various problems involved in the conversion of oil burners to other fuels has been under way for some time. s, are jammed to capacity. Railroaders will tell you, with a touch of the Paul Bunyan spirit, that the rails just cant cool off. Rivermen will tell you that no sooner do the waves from one river vessel ease off on the beach, before another swell starts rolling in. When the peak is reached in production you can imagine what the thousands of home owners who wait until later to order their coal are doing to add to the groaning It is true that all will have to forego some former necessities and comforts until this universal war is won. But there is little reason to take on a hardship which is doing no one even the nations offensive for victory any good. . By waiting until it is practically too late to order coal, most of which is then going to the factories, the home owner is deliberately harnessing himself with ' hardship besides getting in the way of the nations wartime progress. Like a Slow Freight. Those who delay ordering coal now for this coming winter may be compared to a slow freight train heading towards its terminal with a fast freight right behind it. The latter is delayed from reaching its destination on schedule. Your nations victory efforts are all being carried on that fast freight train. The dillydallying, is the. slow freight.

Coupled with the effect on health, lost time due to colds, absenteeism, etc., such neglect of proper maintenance and operation of the heating system becomes almost criminal. Just as you check over your automobile periodically, or have some one do it, so too is it a good idea to have a competent heating man inspect your furnace or boiler. If the average household gave its heating plant half the care it bestows upon the family car, the national fuel bill would be reduced many millions a year. - Alan Ladd attracted plenty of attention and favorable comment during his stay in New York; as. part of the campaign to introduce this new leading man to the public Paramount can consider the trip a success.

In 1940 (latest data available) over 16,456,928 tons were exported.' The majority of the anthracite exported went to Canada. Coke production, a coal also assumed gigantic proportions. Data shows that over tons were produced in 1940. The gas from coke production is also used for fuel purposes. Employment in the coal mining industry has declined ever since 1920. That year there were 784,621 persons employed. Ten years later (1930) there were 644,006 at work. In 1940 the number had further decreased to 543,200. Crude Oil Production Increase. Crude oil production in the United States, also, has steadily increased according to statistics. In 1920 there were 442,929,000 barrels (42 gallons to a barrel) of oil drawn from the earth. Its value was $1,360,745,000. But the figures in 1940 were 1,351,847,000 barrels, valued at $1,352,000,000 a decrease in price. The United States produced in 1940 over half of the oil marketed.
