The following communication is from George L. Padgett chairman of the local fuel committee, and should be carefully read
 To the Editor of The Patriot:
 Will you please give publicity to the following order of the United States Fuel Administration relative to the restriction of display lighting:
 The use of light generated or pro duced by the dse or consumption of coal, gas, oil or other fuel, for illum- mating or displaying advertisements. announcements or signs. or for the external ornamentation of any build ing shall be entirely discontinued on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights of each week
 The use of light generated or pro duced by the use or consumption of fuel for Illuminating or displaying any shop windows, store windows or any signs in show windows shall be discontinued from sunrise to sunset and shall also be discontinued on the four nights mentioned above
 "The state fuel administrators with in the several states are hereby di- reeted and authorized to see that the provisions of this order are earried cut and to report violations thereof to the United States Fuel Adniuistra= tor.
 This order was effective on July 24 \ few days later Thomas " Russell. |. s. Fuel Administrator for Con nectisut sent out the following:
 As some uncertainty apparently exists concerning the so-ealled Light- less Night order, you will please note that this is an order of the United States Fuel Administration and, therefore. is subject to revision by the Federal Administration only and not by the State administrators; conse- quently, the four nights particularly specified in the order. i e.; Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, must be the lightless nights and do not permit the substitution of other nights of the week.
 Also, while the order does not not govern the evening opening of stores it does provide that on the four nights specified there shall be no display, window or show case lights whether the stores are open or not.
 Lights over an outside fruit stand are permitted when limited to provide necessary light for the transaction of business and not for display"
 Under date of August 27, MT. Rus sell sent to local chairmen another bulletin covering the same subject in which he said:
 Complains are reaching this office that window lights are being burned on hghtless nights. Please see that this provision of the order is en- forced. We want Connecticut as usu- al to be the best in carrying out regu- lations that will help win the war.
 All business houses or other users of light affected by this order in the Putnam Jurisdiction are requested to comply with the above requirements.

Last year 250 were registered at the Trade shop, and the year before near ly 400 The drop of last year is to be explained by the fact that the local mills have been engaged in night work, and this cut into the enrolment of the Textile department.

TRIBUTE TO RED CROSS.

Harry st. Louis of Escanaba, now
recovering from wounds received in
action at the Marine on June z, where
he was among the Marine that saved
the French capital city during the
last German drive is the author OF a
poem that is being widely quoted In
the newspaper press OF the United
States and Great Britain.
The poem first appeared in the
stars and Stripes, official paper OF
the American Expeditionary Forces.
II was probably written on cot in
Red Cross base hospital, for 1t is
beautiful tribute to the nurses in
that magnificent branch OF service 1t
follows:
Each life must have its crosses,
And soldier gets his share,
From a trip across the ocean
To the envied Croix de Guerre.
There are crosses by the censor,
Far too many. SO 1t seems;
There are crosses in the letters
From the girlies OF his dreams.
There's a cross that's worn by he
roes
Who have faced a storm OF lead;
There's a cross when he is wounded
And cross when he is dead.
There's an iron cross awarded
For murder and for rape;
It's the emblem of the devil,
It's cross of sin and hate.
There's a little cross OF Mercy
That a very few may own;
For the soldier it is second
To the cross Of God alone.
It's cross that's worn by women
When we see It we believe
We can recognize an angel,
BY the Red Cross on her sleeve.
