Thousands of Letters Received by Garfield, Some Humorous, Others Queer, but All Show ing Evidence of a Sincere De- sire to Help.

One thing the U. S. Fuel Admin istration's efforts toward the econo- mical use of fuel has brought out, and that is that once t-e need for saving was understood and appre- ciated, the people rallied to it's SUD- port with heartiest will.
 From every nook and cranny of the country letters are pouring in on Dr. Garfield with suggestions as to how fuel may be saved. While some of these suggestions have 8 humorous tinge, there Is back of nearly all of them the evidence of a sincere and earnest purpose to help.
 Some of the writers have ends of their own to serve, but that does not matter much when the sugges- tion is as naively made as 1t is by youngster from Edenten, South Carolina. who writes:
 Dear Dr. Garfeld-I like
 your idears very much in
 saving fuel at this time.
 You could save more by
 closing Edenron Graded ' Schools so could go hunt
 ing.
 "Your friend,
 Master Clyde x. Copeland,
 "9 years old"
 EQuaIly queer may seem the Sug- gestion of patriot to Dr. Garfield that much fuel might be saved by doing away with ironing. The writer specifically mentioned the articles of clothing that might just as well be worn without ironing and added:
 'I believe that many of
 our people would be will
 ing, even eager, to make
 this sacrifice of eye-pleas-
 ure and which is not other
 wise deprivation, during r the further period of war
 stress"
 This seemed to be rather far fetched but when an expo in the Fuel office put it down in figures, and announced that failure to iron underclothes, handkerchiefs. socks napkins. sheets and pillowcases fn- vo1ved the saving. throughout the nation, of work on more than l.. 600,000,000 pieces. it was to be seen that the saving might be nc mean thing. The writer of the let ter estimated the non-ironing coa saving at S1,000.000 a week. but tc even the most optimistic these fig ures seemed trif1e too cheering.
 Then comes a letter from an en gineering expert of repute wh' urges that the blowing of stean ~~histles be prohibited so as to saw

GOOD PROGRESS ON
 GRAND ST. BRIDGE

North End and North Bridgeport business men who feared the Grand street bridge would never materialize are assured by Senator John M. OConnell, also a member of the bridge commission, that the structure will be completed this year. It is estimated that the building will cost at least $60,000 more than the con tract price of s225,00O.
 The contract was awarded to the Edward DeVoe Topapkins Co., Inc, of New York, but the commission was dissatisfied with the progress made and the work was turned over to Holbrook, Cabot & Rollins, the firm l building the Stratford avenue bridge. Under the Tompkins contract the structure was to have been completed last September, but is now about one 1 third done.
 The proposed East Washington avenue bridge will not be started un- til the Grand street bridge is finish | ed.

fuel. This may seem a little leak of power, though steamship cap- tains realize full well what it means, but the expert says:
 "When we realize that
 thousands of factories
 blowing their whistles six
 or ten times a day about 20
 seconds each time or from two minutes up day, say
 300 factories blow a con-
 tinuous whistle for 12
 hours, pecessitating an
 average two-inch pipe, the
 fuel to produce this steam
 sums up into thousands of
 tons total loss"
 Did you ever hear of the village of Chisolm in the State of Minneso- ta? If not, this will let you know 1t Is on the conservation map. By a formal resolution Chisolm has de- clared itself within the boundaries of the territo4y embraced in the Fuel Conservation order and went on. to some pu 2ose. with:
 ZEE IT FURTHER RE-
 SOLVED, That the next
 ten Mondays shall be de-
 clared holidays in the vil- lage of Chisolm and that
 the entire male population
 of the village shall be as-
 sembled on those days for
 the purpose of going into
 the woods and gathering fuel"
 Which is a fine and patriotic ex' qualification of faith in the text "Belief without works is dead!" The careless, fuel-wasting cooks of the nation have warnins sounded for them by the Actins l Ouartermaster-Ge of tho United States Army where they are training cooks in the saving O fuel.

 The result of this special

 show that in 576 kitchen

 a saving of more than fifty

 O. course there have been many sorts and conditions of pleas to the U. s. Fuel Administrator to allow the theaters to run and stay heated, but the uni Ae plea comes from wel1-known proprietor of minstrel musical comedy productions" who urges:
 "If it is not too late, and
 the night could finally be
 changed to Wednesday as
 closing day for the thea
 ttrs, this would enable
 THOUSANDS C- THEA
 TRICAL PERSONS. hun gering for an opportunity
 to attend CHURCH MEET
 INGS to which they very
 seldom get to go."
 Nor must one overlook the come rtpfnant who finds misuse of coal in the District of Columbia where. ac- cording to his 'bserva' .on, there is a wilful waste of electric light in government buildings. Added to these are dozens of letters from con- servationists who would have all street lights in cities shut off on moonlight nights.
 Varied and seemingly eccentric s some of the hundreds of sugges- tions are that reach the office of the U. s. Fuel Administrator they are | tremel. ous1y hopeful and helpful | in this: They show that through the orders of the Fuel Administrator the people of the United States. even | in the most remote sections, have been aroused to the importance of economy: they have been brought to see that the war is not all to be fought by our soldiers on the fight 1 ing-I.ne, but that every individual may in his single strength support the hands of the President and do ! his humble part in bringing his country to the state of its highest efficiency.
