How to Save Coal.

i The necessity of saving coal is not
open to argument. Every public spirited
Icitizen recognizes the seriousness of the
situation and is anxious to do his share
lin the economy which has become obliga
tory through the demands of the war
| No one would be so unpatriotic as To
take issue with the new regulations OF
| the fuel administration both as to their
spirit and motive. Certain business con
ditions are also facts which must be
recognized in dealing with the prob
/ lem.
| The object is to save coal.
TO accomplish this is the sole purpose
of the requests from the fuel admin
istrator Many activities which play an
important part in the industrial and eco
nomic life of the community cannot be
restricted TO definite hours of daylight.
Owing to trade and business conditions
they are often very active before nine
in the forenoon and after five in the
afternoon Even different establishments
engaged in the same trade, but under
different conditions, would find the new
regulations rliinous,

their objects better if allowed to econo-
mize in manner best suited to their
own conditions If they were all called
on to make, for instance, a 20 per cent /
reduction in their consumption of Goa
they would probably be able to do so if |
given more freedom in the manner of so |
this economy than by mere |
limitation of the hours of heating and I
lighting.
Less heat and less light during the en-
tire "a hours might easily accomplish |
more than practically no heat during a
few hours and plenty of heat during
many. If any establishment would give
written guarantee to the fuel admins
rator that 1t would reduce its consump-
ion of coal by fixed amount accord
ne to the legitimate demands of its
,usinessl he ought TO be satisfied.

they were not charged with political af-
