The higher the percentage of carbon the better the coal and the more heat you will get with less ashes. A coal dealer must have considerable experience to be able to select the grades that will give the best results to his customers. Not all coal is alike, there are more than 300 Anthracite Mines in this State, so good judgment must be used to select the high quality kind. We recommend our Wilkes-Barre coal to be as high in carbon as any coal that comes to Harris burg. Ask for it by name. United Ice & Coal Co.

April 14 to August 1 to a period ex tending from April 15 to August 31 is among the provisions in the bill to j codify the Ashing laws of the State I prepared for introduction into the House last night by United Sportsmen officers. The bill is to be presented by 1 Representative Hugh A. Dawson, of ; Seranton. The bill is a voluminous affair and makes effective many of the present ! laws as well as strengthening them in j several places. The authority of the ; commissioner for prevention of pollu- I tion of streams and to declare what are trout streams is retained. ' line of the provisions In the bill I punishes by a fine any person having in possession a trout beyond the legal limit and another which is designed to prevent tishermen throwing away small tlsh they have caught and then I going on in the hope of landing larger | ones. All caught must be retained. The bass and pickerel season is to run from June 15 to December 31 and the limit of catch is unchanged, but ten inches is made the limit for keep ing bass caught. At present bass un j der eight inches must be thrown back. Pickerel under twelve inches may not | be kept. I The season for shad, alewlfe or her ring is to extend from March 1 to | June 20.

Re v CODATI ACT OUT FIR CRITICISMS Governor Makes Public Outline of the Bill to Consolidate Four Departments The outline of Governor Tiruni- | baugh's proposed department of con servation to consolidate the game, fish and water supply commissions and the department of forestry, made pub lic here last night for public sugges tions. is one of the most interesting measures drafted. The chief feature] is that it gives the commissioner of conservation absolute authority to ap point or dismiss any official, from deputy down, and to fix the salaries I | and change them. The bill, as the | Governor said some time ago, will ! combine the activities of the branches ] ! of the government enumerated and I | create a department to have charge of ! undeveloped lands Just as the Depart j ment of Agriculture has of the im proved land. With approval of the act the four branches will be abol ished and all powers transferred, spe cific mention being made of eleven provisions, while thirty-four laws arc mentioned to be enforced as hereto fore. The Governor is to name the com missioner for four years, but the sal ary space is left blank for sugges tions. The probabilities are that it will call for $7,500. There are to lie ' four bureaus to take over the detail work of the four branches of govern ment, but the field forces are consoli dated. The chief is also to be given authority to call upon state police. Tn addition to provisions mentioned the department is to pay special atten tion to the development of en efficient I forest lire fighting force and to take | I particular pains to conserve water I I supply, including water power for I future use. When the bill will be introduced is I not known. There is some criticism | of it by sportsmen's associations in the abstract, but they will make sug gestions. The proposed bill would rip out of | office many prominent men who are] ; members of commissions, including Dr. Charles B. Penrose, brother of the senator. John P. Wagner, the famous, shortstop, who is a tlsh commissioner:! John Birkinbine. the noted engineer:! S. B. Elliott, the forestry authority, and many others. The departments | affected have 2!<4 attaches with a pa\ - i roll of $317,210. Under the terms of the act all projects under way would be continued.

I *■ HARRISBURG telegraph CHILD LABOR BILL IP TH[ GOVERNOR Chief Executive Issues a Statement in Which He Gives Reasons For Supporting It Governor Brumbaugh considers tho Cox child labor bill, which was draft ed under his persona' direction, as tho most advanced legislation on the sub ject the State has had and strongly recommends its passage in a statement made public yesterday. In his state ment the Governor reiterates what ho said in his inaugural address and backs It up. The statement is as follows: "In the campaign last Kali, it was specifically set forth in the party plat form in the addresses of the candidates that the present Legislature should ] enact as fair, just and advanced a child j labor law as any Common wealth could | reasonably enact. 1 take this pledge as ■ a command. 1 believe absolutely that it is one's duty in office to do exactly what I he promised to do when a candidate. 1 : hold that it Is decent and fair to be i frankly honest ami let the people know ; exactly what the Administration thinks i and does. "In my inaugural I said no child ! under 16 should work in Pennsylvania. ; lie should be in school. I stand square- ! ly by that now. llad I my way 1 would ! gladly support such a measure. We ! shall soon see a day in which we shall ! be ashamed of a law that permits a j child under lti to work for wages and . to lose the inestimable blessings and | benetit of an education adequate to t his needs. "If, however, the Legislature will not j rise to this plan of service to childhood . at this session I submit, in the next place and as a distinct advance over | any existing law. the Cox bill, which 1 provide* that children under It! and | . over I I may work under a wise certi- I i fication as to age and physical fitness j | under the following conditions: The i maximum hours per week to be fifty- | | two; the maximum hours per day to be | nine: and provided that the child so I employed shall, between 14 and 15 years | of age. spend one full day per week in ! a vocational school, and the child be- • It ween 13 and 16 years of age, shall spend one-half day per week in a vo- I catlonal school. I "This is the definitely new note in tho j Cox bill. In all other respects it is the same as other advanced child labor ! I laws in this country, and this feature I jis unique. It makes easy instead of j I difficult the transition from school to I industry. It sets in the public school . I system a new type of school—a school | that will guarantee to the child specific and practical aid in attaining speedily a self-supporting relation to society. "It is likewise wholly advantageous to the employer, since it speedily gives to him dependable and reliable service I of great skill. It is also to the Interest of the State, since it fits our young people in a thoroughly practical way to | establish definite wage earning rela | tions. found a home, rear a family and i become a very desirable and valuable I member of the State's citizenry. I "The Phipps bill provides a forty- I eight-hour week and an eight-hour j day. In all other respects it is essentl ! ails - the same as the Cox bill. The Phipps bill represents the most ad vanced thought of the child labor so- I eleties and the best procedure of other I States. I am convinced that if the peo- I pie want a sudden termination of | school life and an equally sudden be ! ginning of work, and also want children I under 16 to work, then the Phipps bill I should be enacted into law. It is with these limitations a very good bill, tint I insist that we go further and make i education one of the permanent con cerns af every child until he is 16. "I ask all fair-minded citizens, all lovers of the state, all friends of chil dren, to consider these measures with care. Selfish interests must not weigh I against the child and tho State. We j are all securely pledged to an advanced i and humane child labor law. I want i this great State to be the first to teach i the world how to solve for industry i and for childhood this problem. The | Cox bill offers this opportunity. It is our duty to meet it and act promptly upon it."

Martin Pension Act Is Much Discussed Senator Franklin Martin, of West : Falrview, sponsor of the bill to pen sion veterans of Pennsylvania emer gency regiments of the Civil war, is i anxious to obtain the names of all ! men who enlisted under the calls of the governor in September, 1862. or i.Tune, 1863, when the State was in vaded by Lee. The Senator has pra sented a bill which would give a pen sion of $8 per month and is especially desirous of getting the names and ad ' dresses of all "emergency" men now I living in the State. Under the plan 1 provided in the Martin bill the Gover | nor would name a pension commis- I sloner for four years at $3,000 a year i and who is to name clerks. The lieu i tenant-governor, secretary of the Com monwealth and attorney general are to I act as a board of appeals from decis ions of the commissioner. All appli j cants must file applications under tho ; plans outlined by the pension officer and no one receiving a United States government pension may receive the State pension. The payments are to be made quarterly and the system to become operative on September' 1 next.
