WEDS BEFORE SEEING
HER HUSBAND'S FACE
Cfri Regrets Marrying Man With
Bandaged Jaw After Brief
Courtship
New York, Mny 1,1. A romance with
dark nnd serried details was set forth
in the A est Side Court yesterday, when
Mniy 1'olius, seventeen jenrs old. had
her husband, Kerlous Pollns, nrrnigned
on n charge of disorderly conduct. He
wns discharged nfter Mis. 1'olius had
admitted that she could remember more
clearly the circumstances of her court
ship and its faults than she could the
details of the alleged assault for which
her husband was arrested.
It appears that the night the ar
mistice was signed Mrs. I'ollus, whose
maiden name was at that time opera-
the, went to see a motion picture based
upon the somewhat novel theme of loto.
She became bo engrossed in the piny
that she began conversing with the per
son nearest her seat. It wns Mr.
I'ollus, who had just received n dislo
cated jew in an nuloinohllc nccldeut nnd
hod come to tho motion pictu e theatre
for 'the express purpose of forgetting
his face.
The conversation, lightly entered into,
switched from liniment to love, nnd the
following morning, be it known to nil
concerned, Mrs. I'ollus became 11 bride.
Days passed, ns isicustomary in all
narratives, and finally the jaw wus so
robust as to permit the ccicmony of
unveiling It. Mrs. I'ollus looked with
wavering glance upon her husband's
jaw minus the portieres nnd gave forth
n cry. After which, according to Mr.
I'ollus, love leaped through the transom.

T:
HE reason we have been advising coal buyers to lay in their
winter's supply without delay is because we know condi
tions that prevail at the source of supply.
So far this Spring there has been mined little more than half
the normal production of coal. The talk, therefore, of coal short
age next winter isdnot a myth, but will become a stern reality
unless buyers take their coal from now on, and keep up a steady
demand, which in turn will cause steady production. ,
If householders wait, as many used to, until actual necessity
makes a clamor for coal, labor and transportation will not be
equal, to the demand, and some will suffer inconvenience.
In the interest of the coal-buyer, whom we are here to serve,
we need only offer these timely words of advice. '
Prices, chuted in, if ordered in May:
Ess, $10.40 a ton Nut, $10.75 a ton
Stove, 10.65 a ton Pea, 9.15 a ton

HIGHER QUALITY
By Ordering
Anthracite
Your Winter's
Coal Now
It will prove HIGHLY ADVANTAGEOUS TO YOU to get your
winter's supply in now, because coal ordered today has had the advan
tage of warm-weather mining and preparation. The dust and fine
particles are easily removed in warm weather. In the winter this fine
stuff holds moisture,-freezes in chunks, adheres to the coal and cannot
be completely screened out.
Coal, unlike soap, shoes and hundreds of other things of daily
use, is not produced or stored in heated factories. It has severe open-air
conditions to contend- with from the minute the miner loosens it, hun
dreds of feet under the ground, till it is placed in your cellar. In freezing
weather these conditions many times become insurmountable and your
dealer, by force of circumstances, must deliver to you coal which is not
up to the quality of that prepared and delivered in the summer.
During the long haul from the mines to your dealer's yard the
coal freezes in the cars and the pick-and-shovel operation's of the miner
have to be repeated to get the coal out of the cars. Several hours are
consumed in emptying cars in winter, while a few minutes would suffice
in warm weather. Much as your dealer would like to save this time, and
make quicker deliveries to you, there is no road open but to fill orders as
conditions warrant and for you to accept the delay. There is no winter
time relief from this. The solution is to arrange now for next
winter's Anthracite.
The retail price of coal is higher today than last month. As
previously explained, it will advance again next month. Now is the
time to protect yourself against blizzards, zero weather, slow deliveries
and higher prices.
Arrange with your dealer today for
next winter's anthracite coal.
