but is very destructive to ordinary
stoves. Besides both wood and coke the
citv has a gas nlant that has a capacity
mud) larger than the preseut consump-
tion and larger number than ever before
will find it ueoessary to use gas as a
fuel. 4'oal had been ordered to fill all
order.; but about 20(1 tons has been
confiscated and the dealers say they do
imt expect to receive any mure of the
bnr'i orders.

to receive an increase of pay dating

DALLAS. Texas. Nov. 12. "To thf
young girl. low wages are a constant
temptation to go wrong" a girl employed
by a Dallas department store told the
State industrial welfare commission at
the opening Wednesday of a four-day
wage investigation here.
Half a dozen other working girls ap-
pearing before the commission reiterated
this opinion one young witness amplify-
ing her viewpoint with this statement:
"oung girls want pretty clothes.
They see their friends earning more
money than they do with nice things
to wear and tbey are strongly tempted to
secure wealing apparel in any way they
are able."
Basis for recommending a minimum
wage for women and children in Texas
is being sought by the commission. Jt
seemed that general opinion among girl
wage earners examiued that working
girls dependent entirely on their own
resonrces should receive a minimum
wage of about $19 or $20 a week.
"A s;irl. can barely get by on $15."
one witnesa said and pointed to the
