GIVES TWO IMPORTANT
 FUEL SAVING RULES

Two important fuel conservation rulings have been made public by Thomas w. Russell. federal fuel ad- ministrator for Connecticut. The first affects display lighting, and the sec ond has to do with the use of coal in clubhouses.
 Bulletin No. 95, ruling that no ex- ception is made for the Liberty Loan drive to the "Lightless Night regu- lations, is as follows:
 I've have advices from the fuel ad- ministration in Washington that no exception is to be made in the light less night ruling for the Liberty loan drive. Coal is needed just as badly as money to back up the boys and furnish the necessary shells ana mu- nitions. Hence, MT. Garfield has ruled that the lightIess night matter shall not be extended or modified in Aany form
 Also, please note that, whereas ruling has been made that lights on street gasolene service stations were considered display lighting and would be used only when the tank was in actual use. experience has shown that these lights are usually necessary for safety in entrance to the tank or building, hence ruling is hereby made that such lights are allowable on the ground of safety"
 Bulletin No 91 is a ruling on the use of coal in kitchen ranges for cook ing purposes by ciubhouses which are to be heated by wood. This bulletin follows;
 Please note that, should any pri- vate club desire to heat their build ings, or, some portion thereof as they l might desire to keep open. by the use of wood exclusively for fuel and pro- viding that wood so used did not re- quire transportation by rail. such club
