have been played upon by the hand Of
husband, or wife, and child before one

Many children come unwanted into
the world and are regarded as bur.
den by their parents. We hear women
complaining because they are tied down
at home by baby hands and because
they have to slave over darning little
socks and washing dirty little faces
and answering coAseleS calls for
mother, We hear fathers grumbline a,
the bills for food for hungry little
mouths and for the clothes TO cover
restless little bodies.
Still, whether they have horne gladly
or sullenly ths burden OF the helpless
babe that has been laid in their arms
the man and woman who have felt the
cllnging of feeble little fingers to theirs
have had something wonderful in their
lives that the old bachelor and old maid

them either better or worse.

said about matrimony. Marriage is

To Limit Display of Electric Signs
GOVERNMENTS FIRST MOVE TO
 SAVE COAL
7:45 TO II O'CLOCK P. M.
A Score of Other Industries Will be Affected by Similar Orders That Will be Issued as Soon as a Complete Classification is Made.

Washington, Nov. 9.-The govern ments first move towards eliminating non essential industries to save coal was made tonight in an order by the fuei administration limiting the use of fuel for electric display advertising to the hours between 7.45 and Il o'clock F. m. A score of other industries will be affected by similar orders that will ification is made.
 Consum pton Exceeds Production.
 Faced by the realization that coal production cannot keep pace with the present rate of consumption, the fuel administration is ready if necessary to guarantee supplies only for domestic users and industries either necessary in the conduct of the war or vital to the public.
 It is estimated that the limiting of electric advertising to two and quar- ter hours each night will save 50 per cent. of the fuel now used in maintain :rg the signs that light Broadway in New York city and hundreds of less famous thoroughfares in towns throughout the country. In 8 state Inent accompanying today'S order the irtimation is carried that it may be- come necessary to eliminate electric signs altogether.
 Small Signs Not Include.
 Exception was made in the order for signs maintainedi by small mer- chants for the purpose of directing the public to their place of business. If these are not of any unreasonable size they will be permitted to continue lighted while the establishments are open for business, but must be dark with the closing of the shops. t
 Experts say that about 25O,000 toms of coal are used annully for the op- eration of display signs; This amount, families farm during the { winter months. @

WESTERN RAILROADS HAVE
 ASKED FOR A CONFERENCE
With Interstate Commerce Commis-
 sion to Discuss Freight Rate Ad-

WaShin gton, Nov. 9.-Western rail- roads today asked the Interstate Com merce Commission for a conference to discuss a general freight rate advance similar to that now under considera- tion by the commission for eastern roads and December IT was assigned for the conference.
 The Interstate Commerce Commis- public hearing in the pending 15 per probably will be consolidated with that of the eastern railroads.
 The request of the railroads came in a telegram from E. S. Keeley, vice president of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway, saying:
 '"The western carriers request privi- lege of appearing before your com mission at Washington on December 10 and being heard on that date on application for a general advance in freight rates at which time and place they desire to introduce their evil dence in support of such application. It is desired that the necessary notice for public hearing be accordingly is sued by the commission. We respect fully request favor of advance at your early convenience as to whether your commission can consistently enter up- on and proceed with hearing request ed herein"
 Chairman Hall of the commission notified MT. Keeley that December 10 was not available but set the time a week later. Similar action is expect ed from the southeastern roads.

Y. M. c. A. WORKERS
 MAY AID IN RUSSIA
To Offset the Pro German Influence
 Now Prevailing.

Waterbury. Conn.,, Nov. 9.-Convic- tio nthat the Y. M. c. A. workers with the allied armies, especially Russia, will do much to offset the insidious fraternizing of Germans and pro-Ger- man influence generally was expressed here tonight by John Mott chairman of the Y. M c. A. war work council in a dinner preliminary to the launch ing of the local Y. M. c. A. war camn fund campaign.
 Dr. Mott told how valuable the stabilizing influence Of the association had been on the various Russian fronts during the early days of the revolu- ton. He drew a picture of the neces- sfty of recreational activities in all the allied armies and said the Y. M. c. A. had done. much with it's Red Triangle huts in Italy. France and Belgium. He sketched briefly the forces which hay ;. led to the present chaos in PetrograG especially, and said tEa. too much de- pendence ought not to be placed on disheartening news from Russia al present since the censorship there was naturally leaning toward the radicals just now.

DISMEMBERED BODY
 TRAILED BY BLOODHOUNDS
Led Paterson, N. J., Detectives to Head
 of Which They Were in Guest.

Paterson, N. J., Nov. 9.-Bloodhounds, taking the trail from which the torso of mars body was found in the out skirts of this city last Monday. to- day led detectives to 8 spot five blocks distant where the head of the victim, together with butchers cleaver, were found. The head, which Investigators say appears to be that a foreigner, has not been idtntified.
 Shortly after the finding of the torso. the legs were found a short distance away. Searchers have since been seeking the head in the belief that it's discovery would lead to the identifi- cation of the dead man.
 Among newspapers and portions of women's clothing in which the torso was wrapped was found some sand which the police say might indicate that the murder was committed near the sea, sixleen miles from Paterson, and the dismembered body hauled to this city by wagon or automobile.

U. S. ATTITUDE TOWARD
 RUSSIA IS UNCHANGED.
Relief Measures Under Way Are to Be
 Carried Out.

Washington, Nov. 9.-Russia's latest upheaval will not change the attitude Of the American government toward u.easures~under way for the relief of economic conditions in the demoralized country. This statement applying par t1cularly to contracts placed with money borrew from the United States fer vast quantities of shoes and cloth ing for the civilian population, was the only authorized comment at the state department today upon the overthrow of the Kerensky government at Petro- grad.
 No Official Advices Received.
 Official advices from the Russian capital still are lacking, no word hay ing been received from Ambassador Francis since Tuesday. Apparently the British and French governments have not heard from their representa- t,ves, so it is assumed that the revo-. lntionists are holding up all diplomatic despatches, an action certain to draw strong protests.
 Discussed at Cabinet Meeting.
 The situation was discussed at to- days cabinet meeting, but Secretary Lansing was unable to add anything to information appearing in the news. spapers. A cable received during the day from Minister Morris at Stock hclm, summarizing despatches printed lr the Swedish newspapers similar to those published here showed that even the Scandinavian countries are get ting no news of what is transpiring in Russia except through the controlled agencies at Petrograd
 Until the situation clears. the state department and war department will make no announcement as to the prob able effect of the change at Petrograd .ron the relations of the United States With Russia and the conduct of the var against Germany.
 Still a Lingering Hope.
 It is apparent, however, that there is still a lingering hope in the official 1r.ind that the revolution may be local ized in Petrograd and that Kerensky may escape to rally around him the elements necessary to re-establish his government at Moscow or some other point.
 Even failing in this, some admins tration officials are confident that soon out Of the present chaos in Russia will emerge sound and stable govern ment.

NO MORE FORD AUTOS
 UNTIL AFTER THE WAR
Entire Plant is to be Devoted to Pro-
 duction of War Necessities.

Washington, Nov. 9.-Henry Ford will build no more pleasure automo- piles until the war is over. He will devote his entire plant to the produc- ton of war necessities. such as trac- tors. ambulances, aircraft engines and shells.
 Through his personal representative, c. H. Wills. he recently offered to dis continue absolutely the production of pleasure care and under the head of ''pleasure cars' fall the ordinary run abouts, touring cars and small -coIn4- mercia1 trucks which his plant has turned out by the million.
 MT. Ford's patriotic offer was ac- cepted by the government with the greatest gratitude. The shortage of chrome vanadium steel, which is needed vitally for shells and aero plane engines. has caused the greatest uneasiness among the men responsi- ble for putting through on time our program of industrial war prepara- tions. MT. Ford's plant uses in peace time approximately 100000 tons of chrome vanadium steel a year. All this steel will now go into war work
 Henry Ford has offered voluntarily to do the thing which the automobile manufacturers of nearly every nation at war have been compelled to do.
