NEW YORK, Apr. 7.—General Goe
thals, whose office of fuel administra
tor expired last night, declared that
the people of the United States have
been frozen, gouged and caused to suf
for from an ‘‘unequal division of the
fuel supply because there was not
enough courage in Washington to dic
tate to the coal barons. I begged
them to let me stop a train en route
to Canada, but the eo-called authori
ties in Washington would not let me
do it. Time and again I appealed to
the Interstate Commerce Commission
but it showed itself to be a purely po
litical body and a haven lor lame
ducks. It did nothing to prevent the
cheating and gouging by the compa
nies.

“What is it that doesn’t go straight
to the point, but gets there just the
same?”
“A corkscrew.”
Righto, boy; righto. You sure nab

Need a knife to stick me, kid.
Guess so; go’ bye!
