Do You Want a Clean
Collar and Table Linen?
Well, Write to Garfield

81 don't believe your Uncle John
ever had a collar on" hummed a
spruce lad to-day as he approached
his laundryman.
We'll, he won't get any here"
scowled the latter. "A five-day
shutdown will have everybody turn
ing them over. Low neck will prob
ably be the style and you know what
that would do to u.s."
The restaurants lost no time i'm
making provision for the cessation
of laundry establishments, sending
in bis orders for paper napkins and
heavy paper table cloths. The
amount of washing needed to keep a
frst-class eating house is so consid-
erable that restaurant men say they
cannot get their regular washing
done and will have to rely on pa
per material.
England has been doing this for
some time. England also began TO
eliminate laundried collars, using
soft rolled ones. The hotels here
were sharply hit with the change and
they, too. say they will have diff

Little Snow Forecast,
Although Weather Is to
Continue Unsettled

Harrisburg has had snow on the
ground, never less than six inches.
since December s, and at the pres
ent time there is just an even foot
OF it. The greatest amount was a
little over twelve inches.
The town was properly camou-
ftaged in white for the first time on
December 8, although there were
three or four flurries in November.
That month closed with the streets
covered with 3.S inches and since
then the various falls have been
heavy enough to make a foot of it.
The snow sift of to-day does not
promise to develop into anything
protentious, said Mr.. Demain. 1t
will probably disappear this after
noon and may be followed with a
ttiffe colder weather. The general
prediction calls for unsettled"
weather, with no warm wave on the
way.

Fael Holiday Enables
Railroads to Clean Up
Miles of Congested Sidings

Reading. Pa., IAN. 16.-Because of
the fuel holiday the railroads started
to-day to clean up miles of sidings
which are congested with coal and
freight cars. General superintendent
w. II. Keffer, of the Reading Rail-
way, with headquarters in this city,
returned from the anthracite fields
Thursday evening after having spent
an entire sday there in getting the
tracks in shape to handle the coal
traffic. In all my experience" said
Mr.. Keffer, Il never knew condl-
tions to be worse than they are now,
because of the heavy snow and ice
which blocked the tracks all through
the region.
I'VE had about 1000 men employed
clearing away the ice and snow and
1t required hard work. but ii was ac-
compli shed, and conditions to-day are
very good. Notwithstanding the great
difficulties encountered. the outpu;
from the mines reached 1.100 cars
yesterday and it is expected that this
number will be increased to-day"

Philadelphia, Jan. 1s.-ApproM-

sylvania will be thrown out of en-
ployment during the five-day shut
down of industries affected by the
Federal fuel administrators order,
according to statistics compiled by
the State Department of Labor and
Industry at Harrisburg. One million
and a half workers will be similar
ly affected on the Monday holidays
and the approximate loss in wages
was placed at 100000.
Many of the department stores
and manufacturing interests in Phil
adelphia announced to-day that they
would pay their employees during the
enforced suspension.
The general committee of anthra-
cite operations issued an appeal to-
day for 5000 additional men TO
