WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-Regulations
Of the opening End closing hours Of
Offices, mercantile establishments and
places OF amusement as q fuel conser-
Walton measure will be invoked by
State Administrators ouly to meet local
emergencies, and such regulations must,
in any event, be submitted to Washing
ton for approval before they are put
into effect, the fuel administration
announced to-day. It was positively
stated there would be no national order
regulating business hours during the
winter.
The decision not to make an order
regulating hours came in response TO
Inquiries from all parts of the coun-
try, asking if opening and closing
hours wauld be regulated as a coal
saving measure. After a thorough can
vass OF the situation it was decided
that the great variation in local con-
dition5 makes it impossible to issue
such an order without working greater
hardships in some parts of the coun-
try, and on some businesses than would
be warranted except in the case Of an
acute fuel shortage.
In the event of local shortage the
instructions to State Administrators
say:
mo State Administrator should issue
any opening or closing order regular-
ing hours of Offices, stores and other
mercantile establishments and places
of amusement, except to meet an acute
shortage CT fuel or power. When such
shortage occurs in. any locality the
State Administrator should draw up an
order which, in mis- opinion. best meets
such emergency, and have the order
approved by Washington before putting
it into effect

tickets that ever worried candidates
into nervous protration. No wonder,
with 100000 women registered, and

Probably this is the chief reason
why so little attention is being paid

Politicians Scared
Imagine the excitement that would
prevail IN any but war times. if 1,000,-
900 voters of altogether too independ-
ent political faith. suddenly appeared
on the political horizon. To-day, now
ever, the papers are too busy to notice
the women, and the politicians are
scared of them. so they nave been al
lowed to work cut their own political
salvation for the most part. There
nave been few political meetings for
the women, and few appeals from the
candidates. to influence the women's
vote Most Of us have gone our own
sweet way, and we have had beauti-
