LITTLE COAL FOR
THE NON-ESSENTIALS
BY The United Press.


WASHINGTON, June Adjudication
OF a list Of industrial plants showing
which are considered essential or non
essential, Is imminent. It was learned
al the Fuel Administration today.
Plants on the white list will be
cited by name. 10 was understood.
Fuel Administrator Garfield has de-
termined to openly announce who
shall get fuel and who shall be left
out Coal shortage next winter is al
most inevitable. The only course Is to
distribute the shock Of enforced cur
tailment as early as possible. BY CIV
ing early warning they hope TO put at
rest doubts in the minds Of business
men as TO Just where they stand on the
nations sufferance list. This would
give both business men and labor
time 20 readiust themselves before the
pinch Of next winter.
Onlcials Of the war industries arc
believed TO oppose announcement OF
such a list. They have been working
secretly to effect saving In the fuel in
dustry. Fuel Administrator Garfield,
Food Administrator Hoover and other
officials have reached the conclusion
that a policy Of frankness must be
adopted toward non-essential indus
tries. An important announcement
from the fuel administration Is expected

Sir Erlo pointed out that there ls

"The longer they have TO travel TO

quently the less time they WIN have to

In reply TO a question regarding the
type Of submarine operating In Ameri-
can waters. the First Lord declared;

The vigorous and successful British

peal to housewives OF this city TO not

housewives arc likely to waste more
garbage either through burning II or
often times burying It in the rear yard

ure Of the garbage collectors 10 collect
the garbage promptly.
II the garbage man does not come
around promptly. telephone the com

periments show that a ton OF garbage
contains:
Sufficient glycerine for the explosive
charge Of fourteen IS millimeter shells.
Suflcien, fatty acid for the msnufac-
ture OF 100 i2-Ounce cakes OF soap.
Sufficient fertilizer elements to grow
eght bushels Of wheat and a score OF
other materials valuable IN munitlon
making.

Housewives are urged to see that

Of the garbage pail
Dispatches from Washington today
contained reference TO action by the
Government regarding the selzing Of
glycerine used IN making soap for use

glycerine now being made is insufficient
