10000 Estimate for Glass 1.

1t is expected that approxima tely
10000 men, or about 80 per cent of the
Districts $4,000 registrants, will be put
in class 1, available for immediate mill
tary service. and that between 5000 and
the entire number will be examined
physically.
The office of the provost marshal
general has marked rush on the forth
coming physical examinations and it
is generally believed that the call
for the second draft will be issued
when the physical examinations of the
class l men are completed throughout
the nation, some time in the early
spring. perhaps as early as April l.
Physical examinations will go at full
blast at the engine company building,
beginning Monday, and will run until the
last days of March. Examinations will
be in progress each day from prac-
tically 9 O'Clock in the morning until
II o'clock each night. Each local board
will have an examining period of three
hours on approximately every fourth
day The first period any board has will
see fifty men report for examination.
After that 100 men will be examined each
periOd.

Fuel Saving Small.

One of the big department store pro-
pretors said he talked the problem
over with his chief engineer and came
to the conclusion that the amount of
fuel saved by opening the store later
and closing earlier would be too little
to warrant the Inconvenience. On the
other hand, he said, there was a no
ticeabIe saving in coal by remaining
closed all day Monday.
IF we opened at 1880 every morn
ing we could not wait until that hour
to get up steam. We could not take
a chance on leaving the store below
the normal heat until the girls ar
rived. We have enough employees sick
now from the severe weather..
So far as could be learned. no con-
certed action is being considered by
the local merchants to join with the
store proprietors of other cities in ask
ing Fuel Administrator Garfield to sub
stitute the shorter business day for the
heatlesS Monday.
The local merchants have taken
under consideration plan to open
means of relieving street car conges-
ton. but this action. if taken. would
have no bearing on the fuel question.
1t is believed the majority of the
merchants would agree to open later
in the morning to relieve street car con-
gestion as long as the closing hour is
not made earlier.
1t is agreed that little business is
done in Washington stores before 10
o'clock, whereas the government en-
ployes do nearly all of their buying in
the last few hours in the evening.
The merchants are awaiting word
from the public utilities commission be-
fore acting on the proposal to open
later to relieve the street car ques-
ton
A manager of another store expressed
the opinion that if the stores opened
later in the morning and all merchants
would agree not to get up steam as
early as usual, as much coal could be
saved in the course of a week as if
saved now by closing all day Monday.

Merchants Of Opinion Fuel
Saving Most Effective by
Monday Closing.
NOT TO JOIN OTHER CITIES

Leading Washington merchants
agreed today that tie plan to shorten
the six business days of the week as
a substitute for closing all day Monday
would not be practical in this city.
Many of them expressed the opinion
that shorter day would not save
enough coal to be noticed, and they
were unanimous in the belief that the
local stores could not close earlier
without depriving thousands of gov
employees of an opportunity to
do their shopping.
THAT plan may, be all right for the mer-
chants of other big Cities said one,
but in Washington we must take into
the government employees,
who must do their shopping after office
hours

plan of closing on Monday is the best

by shortening the business day and re-
naming open every day. Besides, we

CAPITAL MAY SET
COAL-SAv|NG PACE
Power Economy Devices for
Street Railways Here
Likely for Nation.
"SKIP-STOP" GAINS FAVOR

With the District public utilities
commission planning to restrict street
car stops to a limited number per
| mile and the fuel administrator said
| to be considering adoption of a similar
order for the nation. Washington sud-
denly has sprung into the limelight
as likely to initiate some important
fuel economies in electric railway op-
Grafton before the war is over.
Compared with an estimated saving
of 10 per cent in coal consumption
that "skip-stops" are believed to guar
antee. railway experts and engineers
say that an additional saving of fully
10 per cent may be realized through the
installation of devices Tor checking
the operating efficiency of motormen.
Such devices. which indicate where
power is unnecessarily used and how
it may be saved, already are being
operated with success in a large num-
Der of cities.
According to these estimates. total
saving of 25 per cent in the amount of
coal burning is possible on lines that
have neither "skip-stops" nor system
of checking power wastage. This is an
economy which it is believed federal
authorities are not going to overlook.
especially if the fuel crisis becomes
more acute.
Coal Saving Value Considered.
While the economies claimed for the
checking devices are believed to assure
their adoption eventually throughout
the country. it is considered not unlike
ly that. during the fuel crisis. their
value as coal-savers will be called at
tention to through official channels.
John H. Beeler, traffic expert of New
York, who is investigating traction
in Washington for the utili-
ties commission. believes that it pays
to measure the efficiency of motormen.
While in Denver, when he was the d1-
rector of the Denver Tramway Com
pany. Mr.. Beeler took steps to increase
coasting in car operation. He found.
the installation of checking
system. that some motormen resorted
to coasting more than others. and. ac-
were that much more val
VA BILE to the company in that they re-
quired less power for getting the same
results. He also found that an increase
in coasting resulted in a decrease in
accidents. an improved operating con-
dition and a reduction Of 17.2 per cent
in coal consumption.
Evening star., 1918-01-30
Increase in Coasting.

San Francisco street railways by fol-
lowing a plan similar to the one adopt
ed by Mr.. Beeler in Denver have in
creased coasting from to 43.S per
cent. it is stated. This is, said to be
reflected in a saving to the company
in power costs Of more than $125,000
year.
Mr.. Beeler has not indicated whether
he will call the attention of the Dis
trict commission to the value.of coast
ing in reducing the amount OF. energy
required. but, in view of the wide scope
of his inquiry, reference to the matter
would occasion no surprise.
Just at present 'skip-stops" and de-
vices for checking motormen's opera
tion appear to be the principal avenues
through which. coal saving may be ef-
fected in the operation of street rail-
way systems. However. Washington
street railway men. the Public Utilities
Commission andn~ Mr.. Beeler are consid-
ering the general economy program. as
lwell as the local problem of relieving
street car congestion. and If additional
plans for saving coal are devised the
National Capital. it is thought, will
stand good chance of originating
them.
