Atlantic City Movies and Cabarets
Permitted to Open Today

ATLANTIC CITY. Feb. 12.--The gov
ernmental soft pedal on holiday amusc-
ments has been raised by Walter j.
Buzby. fuel administrator
Under II special decree originating
with Doctor Garfield, movies and cab
arets were released from the general
Monday closing rule with proviso that

here to nj Ike merry. SO, late last night
Local Administrator Buzby saved the
situation BY providing that 'in restau-
rants and hotels where dancing and
cabarets are incidental 10 meals and no
charge is made for dancing and oextra
heat is required. dancing and cabarets

EDISON WON'T COME
FOR U. OF P. DEGREE
Too Busy in His Laboratory,
and SO He Can't Be Hon.
ored by University

Thomas \. Edison Is a busy man
these days--too busy 10 take a day off
and come from East Orange. y. j.,
where his laboratory Is situated, TO
Philadelphia and receive an honorary
degree from the University OF Pennsyl-
vania. Lncoln's birthday Is like any
other day to Mr.. Edison when It comes
to work. and the fact that it Is n holi-
day doesn't mean that he can close down
the roll-top desk, give the stenographer
and the Office boy a vacation on full pay
and run over for n day to hobnob with
distinguished scholars In the big town.
This, In effect. is the information
which the great inventor has conveyed
to the trustees of the University, who
invited him to be present on February
% and receive an honorary degree. The
University no longer confers degrees by
proxy, like the one II conferred on Kali
ser Wilhelm--but why recall unpleasan,
things? Anyhow, Mr.. Edison will no,
get degree from that institution until
he can find a little time to come over
and get it In person. The mall-order
stun doesn't go any more.

In, he added.
In this city, according to Mr. Lewis.

These yards are scattered in West Phlla- :

Lewis said. consumers order coal from

F. deliveries are delayed during pad
weather.
A system of coal zones, Mr.. Lewis
pointed out, would mean that a con-
etimer would order coal from the yard
nearest to his home. Deliveries through
n coal zone system, Mr.. Lewis said
would be more prompt and there would
be less delay.
II n coal zone system Is adopted large
coal dealers who have many yards would
have TO close some of their yards ana
enlarge other yards. 1t Is expected that
coal dealers will be asked to cooperate
with the local coal administrator once
soon. Mr.. Lewis said today in ann"unc-
ing the proposed coal zone that he want
ed the coal dealers to cooperate with
him, and any ideas they had in connrc-
tion with the zone system should he sent
along TO him.
