IT IF YOU DELAY
Conauirtievc Can Help rrevent
Shortage Next Winter by
Buying Now, Says Fuel
Administrator.
GARFIELD SOUNDS WARNING.
Batter Borrow f-’.oney Now to Buy
Than Do Without Later, He Says—If
'our Storage Sf.ace Isn't L arge
Enough, Enlarge
By HARRY A. GARFIELD,
United St/Les Fuel Administrate*.
Every householder, every public util
ity arid e' ery industrial user of coal
engaged in work essential to the prose
cution of the war arte earnestly ad
vised and urged to place without de
lay their orders for coal to cover their
needs for the 12 months beginning
April 1
Durivg tiie past 12 mon.hs there has
been suffering among consumers and a
curtailment of essential production by
industries through inability to obtain
necessary fuel after the beginning of
winter. A year ago consumers were
led to believe that they might safely
withhold their orders until later In the
year. They labored under the impres
sion that coal could be bought and se
cured as well at one time as another.
They were told that there was plenty
of coal for everybody and that there
would be plenty of coal cars to move
the coal in also.
This advice and its acceptance by
consumers was one of the contributing
causes to the coal shortage, with its
consequent suffering among domestic
consumers and lessening In production
of commodities needed In our war ao
livities.
The Fuel Admlnlstrafi i was not
then in existence and did not begin its
work until August 2.'5. It was then al
ready too late to undo the harm which
had been done. The Fuel Administra
tion would be negligent of its duty to
the public if it failed to call attention
at this time to the unfortunate results
• f the mistaken course pursued by the
public a year ago and to warn all con
sumers in the most emphatic manner
possible that a repetition of those re
sults can be avoided only by accepting
j and &. ’ting immediately upon tiie Fuel
I Administration’s advice, here given *.
Order Your Coal at Once.
Let every consumer of the «Jasse*
mentioned ascertain his fuel rervuire
ments for the coming year. l*o this
at once. Order sufficient coal to meet
those requirements. Place your orders
at once. If domestic consumers have
not sufficient storage space for the
coal they will need they should en
large their bins. If public utilities and
j industries engaged upon government
work have not sufficient storage space
they should at orce 'r

The long train of freight cars whined
and grumbled as it strove to stop. In
the doorway of a great low’ building a
white capped and gowned woman re
leased a sunny smile and, turning so
her voice carried into the building,
called out. “They are ours; get ready
fcr a rush."
Just how she could tell they were
“ours” would be hard to explain, for
at the moment she spoke hundreds of
the dirtiest, grizzliest men a woman
ever saw came fairly tumbling out of
the freight cars. A moment more she
was welcoming this muddy rabble with
a laugh and cheering words.
Inside the building there were more
women, all spick and span In white,
with faces beaming, handing out good
“home cooked” food over spotless tiled
counters. Some of the boys fairly ran
for the food ; others went into the long
batteries of baths, throwing out their
vermin ridden clothes to be sterilized
while they scrubbed their bodies back
to a healthy glow.
What luxury it all was—food, tables,
chairs, things t< read, games to play,
paper for writing, a barber shop, a
movie theater and good, clean beds!
Ko one ever thought ’.hat these hap
py, smiling women might be tired, nor
were they tired then, even though all
day long they had been serving train
after train of French and English
troops, literally thousands of them.
Yet what did that matter? For these
boys that came at the end of a long
day—these boys are "ours."
If your boy Is in France you may be
sure he has a song of praise for the
flue women at work in the railway
canteens of our own Red Cross, for at
every important railway junction there
is one of our Ked Cross canteens and
at each canteen there are 18 women—
real, true American women.
