The man who has money to invest in coal has a perfect ly safe investment and a good return (about 1 0 per cent.) on the money which he will employ in buying coal at the low price, and keeping it until needed in the fall. Coal is one of the safest possible investments. Its earn- ling is absolutely sure. It can be put into your house; will not fire on the pile; will not lose any of its value by sum- , mer storage and will be worth good gold dollars next fall \ —even more than it is to-day. Anthracite Coal is therefore a perfectly safe investment for the man of wealth as well as the small consumer. j j Aside from the saving in price, anthracite coal is much better quality when mined, shipped and delivered during ' the warm spring and summer months. \ Phone lis to-day, we take qood care of tele- ' phone business. operate coal yards on the P.

The idea is to I have ,he proposed State Salary | Board take care of all such matters .as readjustments of salaries. The j tjoard would be composed of the | Governor. Attorney General. Auditor ieneral and State Treasurer and | would have authority to review all i salaries and increases where it is j desirable, so that situations which j prevailed during the war and at | other times where men receiving I ow salaries fixed by law, left State service to enter business. A number of bills have been oc cupying attention in the House for increases of pay for various grades of attaches of the Department of Public Grounds and Buildings, in spectors of the Department of Labor and Industry and other branches. These bills will probably not go much farther. w Patent Bill—Considerable in | lerest is being shown by legislators I from counties bordering on the Sus quehanna river in a bill presented , to the Senate by Senator Augustus I I'• Daix, Jr., Philadelphia, which provides an amendment to the act of 1913, and stipulates that when, jas a result of operations by the I united States Government. the | course of a stream is altered and I parts of the former bed become un necessary to be classed as the stream I proper, these portions can be de clare abandoned and subject to pat- I enting. Ruling on Insurance—Automobiles owned by the State Highway De j partment are insured In the State's own fire insurance fund, and it i would not be lawful for the depart | ment or any one else to insure them jon behalf of the State any other way, according to an opinion given by Deputy Attorney General Emer son Collins to Auditor General Charles A. Snyder to-day. In the same opinion he holds that insur ance against theft of State cars 1s not provided by the State's own in suianee fund, but must be carried outside. This decision will affect a number of automobiles, as the num ber owned by the State and used by men connected with the departments is increasing. Bant Early Work—Numerous re quests for early work on improve ment of State highways throughout | fhe State, including repairs and changes, were made yesterday after j noon to State Highway Commission er Lewis S.

The Bed ford proposition was brought up by Senator John S. Miller and Simon H. Sell and A. G. Fowler, the latter two of Evitt's Creek, who also said that stone would be furnished free for an improvement by quarry owners. This delegation suggested a change • in line of the road from Bedford to J the Maryland line in vicinity of Pa | tience. To this delegation, as to i Washington county legislators who I asked a change in route of the road from Washington to Waynesboro, the Commissioner said that changes were matters for the Legislature and the Governor. Surveys will be made where necessary to ascertain condi tions. Senator H. W. Schantz. of asked for work on roads be tween Emaus and Allentown and near Slatington, the latter being in the second year program.
