plng Juno 1, 1920, has been fixed
by resolution adopted by tho city
council at 22.5 mills on the

tion purposes and 9.5 mills for In
terest on tho city's bonded indebted
ness. Tho rate is-- based upon an
assessed valuation of $3,275,000 and
will ralso a total tax of $73,277.58.
Th financial' needs of tho city for

to bring in $2000.

SUFFERING FROM
COAL SHORTAGE
CHICAGO, Dec. 4. -Another
day of dipping into tho rapidly
dwindling coal reserve supply
addod Its bit to tho disruption
of Industry today. No imme-
diate relief through the return
of the bituminous minors is in
sight.
Reports of actual suffering
because of tho lack of fuel In
homes came from many towns
in the Middle West.
LONDON, Nov. 16. The Shah of
Persia, who is visiting England,
bears little resemblance, physically
or otherwise, to that other Shah,
Nasrud-dln who came here in 1873
and again in 1879, and on both oc
casions left behind him some not
particularly savory memories. There
was little of the saint about him,
but he was picturesque and could
not be restricted to the bounds of
English conventional respeccabllity
Therefore the public of a generation
ago took a much keener interest in
him than Londoners are doing in the
reigning Shah.
The latter is fat and placid, does
everything that he is told to do, nev
er upsets the programmes that are
prepared for him and shocks no one.
In making a comparison between
the two the Star recalls some of the
escapades of Nasud-dln when he via
itod these shores.
During his 73 visit, it says, he de
manded to see a prize fight. So, af
ter a consultation with Lord Queens
berry, a glove fight was arranged
for his delectation in Buckingham
Palace stables. As usual the Shah.
waB late, so the venue was changed
to a quiet spot in the comer of the
palace gardens.
On his way, fhe Shah dashed thru
a room where a deputation, of bishops-was
waiting to' see him.. to-be-Beech
his august protection for -the
Christians in Persia. They followed
him into the gardens and-1 p'feently
foUnd themselves- in a ring around
two prize-fighters. The fight was
stopped; the Shah waxed angry and
the good Lord Shaftesbury of piou-s
memory, who led the deputation, de
nounced the holding of "a prize
fight in the Queen's Palace."
But things were ultimately
smoothed over, though what the
Shah said about- the Christians in
Persia required a strong gloss in the
interpretation.
