FUEL ORDERS
WILL BE SENT
FROM CAPITAL
State Administrators Mott
fed to Follow Instruc-
tons from Washington

Washington, Feb. 4.-State fuel adj
ministrators were notified by the fuel
administration that they must cease
exceeding their authority in issuing
without instructions from Washington
general orders restricting the use of
coal.
The admonition was called forth by
the fact hat some administrators
have enforced the Monday closing
was intended by the government, and
because of conflicting instructions is
sued to consumers. In a telegram to
all state fuel administrators in the
east, Fuel Administrator. Garfield
said:
Many Complaints Received.
GAS q result of various restrictive
regulations established locally by state
fuel administrators in certain states
we are receiving many complaints OF
discrimination between different
states municipalities in the require
ments of neighboring communities.
After careful consideration United
States Fuel Administrator Garfield has
concluded that regulations in every
state should in general be uniform
with those promulgated by Washing
ton.
I'VE particularly desire to secure
uniform regulations for the whole
country at the earliest possible date,
not later than February 6, having
especially in mind conformity with ma
tional orders for lightless nights, and
orders restricting churches, theatres
and other public gatheing places as
we'll as orders relating to closing. of
drug stores, food stores and others
selling necessities.
I'm general, we feel that the United
States fuel administrators order of
January II is sufficiently drastic, and
that further extensions should not be
attempted unless absolutely required
by local emergency and substantially
supported by local sanction. If you
! have already established additional
regulations. we ask that you announce
a date in the e future, after which
regulations in your state will be uni
form with those Of Washington. If
you deem it imperative that other
regulations now in force should be
continued, please wire nature Of such
regulations and further period during
! which you desire them maintained"

the railroads. telephone and telegraph
companies and many~like occupations.
They represent 80 per cent of the
population and own but 60 per cent
OF the automobiles. The reason for
this small percentage of car owners
II at once apparent, as the bulk of
the business of these men is over
various carriers of the country and
here the automobile is not so much
an essential TO the conduct Of their

Mining Minutes With Motor Car.
The next census occupational d.
vision covers the mining quarry and
oil-well Industries; including owners,
superintendent, foremen and oper-
atives. Here we found that while
this classification represented 2.5 per
cent of the population Of the country,
II owns 81 per cent of the automo-
biles. This occupation Is not one
which must necessarily cover q wide
area. Yet every hour and minute
must count, for all of the products are
vitality necessary in the war program.
The next two classifications are
composed of hotel proprietors, restau-
rant owners, clearinghouse keepers,
clerks and employees. Here, II any
where, we might expect to find the
passenger cars used almost wholly for
recreation. But, while these two com
bined classifications represent 11.5 per
cent of the population. they own only
80 per cent of the automobiles.

people had paid little attention to these

The food we eat, the clothes we wear

There was only one way to find out
