DON'T TRY TO
 HEAT ALL OUTDOORS Shut Off Radiators When You Open Windows at Niqht.

Hartford, November 21.-The aver ge Americans love of fresh air wheE he sleeps has been found to be the cause of source of waste in coal which Thomas w. Russell, Federal Fuel Ad- ministrator and chairman of the coal committee of the Connecticut State Council of Defense, is trying to elim- mate. MT. Russell ~ has had printed and is distributing card which bears the slogan, Don't Try To Heat All Outdoors,,' and warns people who open their windows at night that they should first shut off their radiators or registers.
 Apartment house owners, hotel pro prietors and other people who hea. buildings used by more than one ten ant have complained that their eff sorts to save coal are hampered by people who go to bed early in the evening and open the windows of their bedrooms without shutting off the heat thrown off by the radia tors is wasted on the outdoor air and tho radiators are cooled so rapidly by the cold air which enters the bedrooms that a larger amount of coal than us- ual is needed to keep the other radia tors in the building up to a satiSfac- tory temperature. It has been esti- mated that many tons of coal could be saved every day in Connecticut alone if the practice were abolished.
 The cards issued by MT. Russell are to be distributed throughout the state and the first allotment will be sent to the hotels, which will be asked to post one card in each of it's rooms or suites Later cards will be sent to owners of apartment, tenement and rooming houses.
