STATES COAL CONTROL BOARD

! Charles H. Ten Weeges, coal ad
ministTator for Delaware; p. L.
Grove and Robert d. Kemp. Of vii.
mington; John R. Lambson of New
Castle; Hervey P. Hall, of Smyrna
and Charles S. Richards of George
town, members of the State Advisory
Board, went to Washington last week
TO attend a conference of the Coal Ad-
ministration Board.
Mr.. Richards, the chairman for Sus-
sex County, has announced that he
mad selected Captain Harry V. Lyons
OF Lewes and Harry C. Darbee of
Seaford, to be the other two members
OF the committee of Sussex County.
Captain Lyons is a well known pilot
Of Lewes, and Mr.. Darbee for many
years has been engaged in the com
mission business of Seaford.
Mr. Hall, the chairman of Kent
County, announces that he has named
John c. Hopkins of Dover, and S.
John Abbott of Milford to be the 9th
er two members of the committee of
Kent county.
In addition to the fixing of prices
for coal one of the most important
duties OF the local committee, as well
as OF the general committee and the
coal administrator himself. will be to
bring about the conservation Of the
fuel supply in homes and in factories.
The saving of coal by careful useage
has become necessary not only be-
cause Of the high prices, but because
OF the supply, and the administrators,
local and state, will endeavor to in
still into the minds of the consumers
that they must conserve and they will
try to show them how to do this.
It is estimated that a shovelful of
coal is equal in value to a half-pound
OF sugar, and it is being urged that
electric lighting be abol-
ished, that homes be not Overheated,
and that skillful firemen be EMPLOYED
instead Of roustabouts in the big heat
ing plants. To save coal is a patriot
&c duty, it is pointed out, and every
american consumer who is a patriot
should turn attention to the intelli-
gent consideration of the burning of
fuel.
Overheated buildings means the
waste Of much coal In the private
homes the occupants are advised TO 1
be careful in the burning of fuel. They
should see that all the coal is con |
iumed; there should be no waste in
he ashes and homes should be so |
protected as not to require an exces- /
i've heat from coal consumption to |
Ieep them warm
