Every Day Of This kind Of Weather 1 Means A Slap At The Pres- t peetive Coal Strike 1 “It is an ill wind that blows no- ! body good.” says legendary lore in 1 the old adage. ] While the coal miners are preparing , *o lay down their picks and shovels on strike, leaving the public to shiver ill it pleases. Old Sol and his various 1 tempering agencies are lined up on ' the side of the public, saving for them ] hutisands of tons of coal for thd prob- j ably fuelless days to come. Yesterday the sun, hidden under a ’ blanket of hazy clouds, sent the tem- ( perature scooting up to 73. and. there fore, saved just another day's supply ! of coal for all persons who burn i't! f or heating purposes. The same con- 1 servation plan occurred today as orotnlsed by Alfred Thiessen. the Bal-j 1 timore Weather Bureau director. “Every day of this kind of weather.” j said Mr. Thiessen yesterday, “means i slap at the prospective coal strike. It means just one day's supply of coal j <aved. and that is quite an item. May-' 'e the folks are complaining about! he warmth, and the uncertainty of i 'emperatnre, but if they realized how j much coal is being saved, they would j make no kicks.” And so it is, that an ill-wind, if a Southwestern can be called such, is; ..one that brings no 111-luck,'even R it loes bring banks of threatening olouds and no promise of relief from he httmidity. If the coal miners’ drike is coming, nothing could help give it a setback any more than a warm November. It it rains today, and is so warm and sticky that swear ng comes without provocation, just remember the promised strike and . the cold winter days ahead, and then . smile. ; DEATH OF R. R. BUTLER; > BURIED, “WHITE MARSH” 7 Late yesterday afternoon news was received here of the death of Robert R. Butler, half brother of the late William M. Abbott, of this city, and who years ago was a member of the * State Legislature. The deceased was a native of Tal bot county, where his remains were ’ taken for burial at the old home place 1 “White Marsh Farm,” Abbott’s Mills, ! the funeral taking place this after noon. Mr. Butler was in his 86th year, but up to last Friday he enjoyed fair ly good health for a very old man, and was up and about, reading his daily papers and keeping abreast of the times. In his last letter to his niece in this city he wrote “I am 86 vears young, and feel that the Lord has blest me to tarry here so long.” He was the last of the Abbott brothers. His mother was Maria Kenly Reese, who married a widower, R. R. Butler. Her second husband was Samuel White Abbott. The de ceased grew up on the old Abbott farm which he later bought, together with two other valuable farms in Tal bot county, near Trappe. His wife failing in health some vears ago he sought treatment for her in Baltimore and has since been living at the home of his wife’s niece, Mrs. Butts, at Govans, near Baltimore, where his death occurred at 1.15 yes terday morning. The remains were taken to Easton. Md., for burial this afternoon. The deceased was for some years County Commissioner of Talbot coun ty, and was a familiar figure at the court house in Easton for many years. He was a most successful farmer. He is survived by a widow, Mrs. Fannie Leonard Butler. There were no children. TO LIMIT QUOTA OF NATIONAL GUARDSMEN Officials of the States. Territories and the District of Columbia will not be necessarily limited in the organi zation of National Guard units dur ing the current fiscal year to a num ber of men equal to 200 for each Sen- 1 ator and Representative. < Instructions to this effect have been \ given the Bureau of Military Affairs by Secretary of War Baker. In this \ connection Mr. Baker said: “The limit of the number that can J be organized is the number that can i be paid from available unexpended ‘ balances of appropriations for pay, 1 and so far as clothing and equipment material to be issued without charge * ’o militia appropriations is concerned 1 Is limited by the quantities of clothing and equipment materia! now on hand as shown on the list furnished by the j purchase, storage and traffic division.

Experiments are also being con ducted to determine the possibility of replacing coal wholly or in part on the railways, in gas, water and power plants and for domestic purposes. The Petit Parisien states that the use of gasoline in the chief gas, water and power plants of the public service is contemplated and that the measure may make possible a daily saving of 4000 tons of coal for domestic uses. ! It would require 60.000 tons of gaso line a month, possibly imported from the United States. Pending an adaptation of the plants ito gasoline power, coal moistened with naptha may be used in the public | service plants this winter. The neces ; sary installations are expected to be . ready by January. The coal is not to be used primarily as fuel, but as a |holding element for the naptha, which ! otherwise could not be burned in the present fire boxes. RACE AT BOWIE, PRINCE GEORGES CO. There will be no temporary inter ruption of the continuity of racing at Prince Georges Park. Bowie, under the auspices of the Southern Mary land Agricultural Association, as was feared last spring when the court of last record in the Old Line state declared unconstitutional the act un der which racing had been conducted in Prince Gporges county since 1914. General Manager James F. O'Hara of the Bowie race track set a staff of lawyers at work on the old Maryland statutes relating to racing as soon as ;the adverse decision of the court was handed down, and it was discovered that under an ‘act of 1592 racing may be conducted at Prince Georges Park under precisely the same conditions as obtained under the invalid act. So Mr. O'Hara and Clerk of the Course Joseph McLennan, who is act ing as one of the placing judges at Laurel Park, have gone ahead with preparations for the usual fall meet ing. And Supt. Richard Pending is busy fixing up his stables for the ac commodation of the most consider able colony of thoroughbreds that ever have assembled at the Southern Mary land track. / .

AMERICAN FLEET TO SAIL FOR HOME The American fleet of 24 vessels which has been visiting Lisbon left the Tague Sunday with the home ward bound pennant flying, as the fleet will touch only at the Azores and Bermudas en route. Numerous festivities enlivened the stay of the fleet at Lisbon and Por tugal. One of the functions was a dinner and garden party at the Amer ican legation. Minister Birch also took a party comprising the naval at taches at Madrid and Lisbon and the commanders of the vessels in the fleet on a coaching trip about the suburbs. The jackies enjoyed themselves in sightseeing—(their first holiday in IS months, they said. The balmy airs of that more southerly clime appealed greatly to them, as one of the men said, after the North Sea, “where we helped to lay the first mines and swept up the last.” Be sure your sins will find you out, although you may not be so fortunate where the bill collector is concerned AsK for^ “HILL’S^XW FIVE MILLION USED IT LAST YEAR QUININE Standard cold raaaady lor U yaara —in tablet form—al, turn, so '“"tc genuine boa ha* a **4 witb Mr. HilT.

If you ( !• it. Night or Snapapple Night it doesn't sound mystical at all. Nevertheless, it is a fairy night. There was a tradition that < hildren born on October 31 would preserve through rtieir youth the power to talk with the elves and air spirits. Long since the supernatural features of the day gave way to odditios of celebra tion. You see a survival of the mystic j In the ghostly excavated pumpkin with its candle light within designed to look very awesome in the night. Ap pies and nuts also play a lively part. Apples hung by strings are to be bit ten into, or they are floated in sha! low dishes and "ducked” for. It was once the custom for a girl to throw two hazel nuts into a tire secretly thinking of two lovers' names. It is the hazel nut that burns steadily with out bursting that indicates the trust worthy lover. Unfortunately, both will sometimes burn steadily. The apple trick most familiar to day is that of paring an apple with out a break, and of then 'throwing peeling over the left shoulder. The scrawl of the skin on the floor will surely spell the initial of the right person's name. Hallowe’en has a great history. Oc ■ tober 31 is the eve of All Saints’ or Hallow's Day. On November 1 the ; Romans used to have a feat to Po mona. the goddess of fruits and seeds, . and something of honor to fruits is . a common feature of Hallowe’en. I Many strange Druid customs have crept into the observance of the (lay. f Thanksgiving for harvest was a fea -1 ture of the Druid festival, and bonfires I were conspicuous. Who knows but . that those who have argued for ad j vancing the date of Thanksgiving Day I may not yet hit upon Hallowe’en as a r compromise? : However, the mysteries of Ilallow ( e’en rather persistently adhere to the love sentiment despite the emphasis placed on simple fun. There seems to - be at least 50 established devices for truly discovering the precise identity i of your future husband. Learning • about your future wife appears to i have been less securely to formula, although there are not less precise methods of learning this equally im portant fact. The ring in the cake, for example, prophesying marriage within a year, evidently belongs def initely to Hallowe’en formulas. All festivals, when they lose either a religious or a fantastic significance. |j m jj| |! ji jt ife'®/ I "IV iTAZOLA brings fried foods to the 9 IVX table tender and dry— never greasy 1 *or soggy.
