MAKING ANALYSIS. :
Suggestions on Divers Ways to Save
Coal Now Being Considered.


Washington, Nov. 1.-The fuel ad-
ministration's conservation division is
devoting considerable time to analyz-
ing suggestions for conservation Of
fuel which are coming from all parts
Of the country. The analysis aims to
discover not only the largest wastage
of fuel. but those large consumptions
of coal for non-essential purposes in
which limitation is most available and
will produce the quickest results.
Many activities which involve large
consumptions OF fuel and many meth
DDS of using this fuel which are per-
fectly legitimate in times Of peace
will, according to fuel administration
officials be found susceptible to
changes which involve very slight sac
rifice of material interests, but offer
opportunity for considerable saving Of
fuel.
Campaigns for the saving of coal in
domestic heating, lighting and cook
ing, as we'll as in the large industrial
establishments are we'll under way. 1t
is stated Confidence Is expressed that
the saving of an enormous amount of
coal will be effected.

Health Board Takes Prompt
Measures at Rockwell School
TEMPORARILY CLOSED
Cultures Taken from the Threats of
More Than 500 School Children To-
day-Schoolrooms Hid Germ Car
rers, Doctor Says.

On account of fears of an epidemic
OF diphtheria among the pupils Of the
Rockwell school, that Institution has
been temporarily closed by order of
the board Of health pending the OUT
come of a thorough medical examina-
ton given all the children this morn
Ing by local physicians and members
OF the health department staff.
Whether the school will remain closed
for any length of time, or reopen soon
depends upon the Investigations made
today.
Health Board Acts Promptly.
This epidemic Is very much like
a similar one that occurred several
years aGo at the East street school,
except that in the latter instance the
disease had become dangerously pre-
valent before the seriousness of the
situation was realized. Attention Of
the board of health has recently been
called to an unusually large number
of cases of diphtheria on Whiting
street, Glen street and other streets
in that vicinity and after some re-
search work the board of health
traced the origin Of the disease to the
Rockwell school. A hurried examina-
ton OF about 65 pupils showed that
in 80 cases the cultures taken were
positive. This, DR.. George H. Bod
ley, acting superintendent, states, in
dicates that while these children were
not necessar rily suffering with diphthe-
ria they were carriers of the germs
and they were Immediately segregated
and kept away from the other chill
dren.
Over 500 Cultures Taken.
Today DR.. Edward Grace, DR.. Ed
ward J. Dray, DIR. Frank Zwick, Mrs.
James Kitson. health department
nurse. the Misses Sara A. Carroll and
Sarah A. Keevers, welfare nurses. and
Fred McEnroe, John A. Dolan and
Thomas Crowley, health department
inspectors. visited the school and
took cultures from the throats of all
the pupils and teachers. Although
they have not yet been counted, 1t Is
estimated that we'll over 500 individ-
ual cultures were taken. AS soon as
they are ipcuhated aud it appears how
many are positive and how many are
negative the health department will
decide what action to take toward
closing the school and putting an i'm
mediate curb on the threatened
epidemic. W tg St
AS soon as this crisis was learned
DIR. T. E. Reeks, former health
superintendent, hurried to the labora-
tories in City hall and has spent the
entire day In assisting DR.. Bodley in
his work. .e
Forty Cases In City.
At the present time, healtht board
officials state, there are a large num-
Der OF contagious diseases In the city,
diphtheria predominating. There are
also three. cases of scarlet fever about
the city.
Superintendent Of Schools s. H.
Holmes this afternoon issued the fol-
lowing statement:
The Rockwell school has been
closed until further notice for the
purpose Of cleaning and fumigation.
Several cases of diphtheria have been
reported and as g precautionary
measure a culture has been taken
from the throat of each child and the
school has been closed for few days
for cleaning and fumigation.'
