BROADWAY DiMM ED

New York, Nov. 15.-War's neces
sites dmmed Broadway's bright
lights tonight. For three hours after
dusk that famous thoroughfare was
in semieclipse because of the Fed
eral fuel administrators decree that
the coal which has supplied current
for huge electric signs can be used
to better advantage, The home going
and home leaving throngs of the rush
hours did not need lanterns to find
their way about, for the regular
street lamps were lighted as usual
but the gloom was in marked contrast
to the usual glare.
Promptly at 7.45 o'clock, however
the millions of electric bulbs which
have made the great white way
household words on five continents
flashed into life and they were greet
ed with cheers by the crowds tha
are ever present in Broadway
The big signs blazed until /
o'clock and then were snuffed on
just as the theatre throngs were pou
ing into the street. Their tenure o
life was done for the night by officia
order Here and there were cases o
light where modest signs illuminate,
the portals of some famous hotel o
restaurant. But it didn't seem lik

THANKS Due SCHOOL CHILDREN
For Helping to Raise Benninston's
Quota of Recreation Fund.

The old proverb that It's an i'll
wind that blows no one good" is very
true of this war in one respect, any
way, and it proves itself by the fact
that the somewhat listless aui apath-
etic regard for our wonderful Unite
States Of America by the children OF
Bennington a year ago has now be
come an all-inspiring and active pa
triotism. To any interested observer
this fact is very apparent in all sorts
OF ways, but nowhere has II been
shown TO greater extent than In the
recent canvass for Bennington s
quota OF the recreation fund for the
soldiers. 1aA3ias
Mrs. f. H. Biggert of Detroit, who
has been spending few months in
Bennington at the home of Rev. To
wart was the person who thought OF
giving the school children an oppor
tunity to help in rather unique way.
Permission to visit all the rooms was
very kindly given her by the school
board. In an interesting manner she
explained to the children the mean
ing and purposes of the fund and ask.
ed them each to contribute a nickel.
She carried with her a little silk flag
which had travelled all over Europe
and the United States with her and
in many instances the children arose
Immediately and saluted it in touch
ing manner. The response to the re.
quest for money was very generous.
The pupils in Miss Mary Carneys
room voted to give the money which
they had planned for Christmas uses
to this fund instead. In many ways
the children showed that they were
willing to do more than their bit and
no small amount of credit toward
helping raise the fund is due to their
efforts. The committee in charge
takes this opportunity to express its
appreciation and gratitude to the
school children of Bennington for
their assistance,
The results of the canvass by
schools is given below,
Bennington Graded School $24 6s
Seventh Ward School $50
High School 300
