Those who are looking forward to
the hours OF the morning OF the last
Sunday In October, when at a. IN.
they expect TO retard their clocks one
hour and retire again to regain the
sixty minutes they lost" when they
advanced their clocks one hour on the
morning OF the last Sunday In March,
are destined TO disappointment n the
recommendations Of a body Of repre-
sentatiyes Of big business and the Gov
ernment be carried out
At a conference In the Offices OF the
Pennsylvania State Fuel Administration
in Philadelphia yesterday between rep
resentatives Of the War Department,
the United States Shipping Board, Pub
lie Utilities, National and state Food

II their recommendation be adopted
by the Government the time will not
be set back one hour at a. m. on the
last Sunday In October, as provided In
the bill passed by Congress last March.
This recommendation was made as a
measure, In that It will not
necessitate the use OF so much artificial
lighting.
Other recommendations made at the
conference yesterday are as follows;
That tho hours Of work be scattered
among the least essential industries.
and any others that engineers might
deem advisable from 10 9 a. m.
That such least essential industries
rs are necessary shall begin work at n

In this connection consideration
should be given as TO what. class OF
work can be done at nighttime with |
maximum efficiency.
That all artificial lights in the day |
ime in outside offices be discontinued. !
That the operation Of isolated plants /
which are not consuming their entire |
apacity be encouraged and the surplus
iyerted 10 public utilities.
That Isolated plants which are not

D determine whether they should be
sed as emergency. so as to supply the
over deficit.
That the hours Of opening retail and
'hofesale stores be deferred until the
forming peak is over This may as
,te as $50 or later.
To meet local conditions. T. is sug-
ested that in some localities some re-
all and wholesale stores open at regu-
,r hour and close at earlier hour TO
void late afternoon peak load.
In localities where there is a short
ge Of power, It is advisable that the
Itmost economy be effected in the use

ELY GIRL WILL Be
DELEGATE TO FRANCE

Miss Laura Gallagher has just re-
ceived word that Miss Freddie Hip
has been selected to represent the
state of Nevada as q delegate to
France for the National Federation of
Women.
Miss Hip is daughter of Ne
vada, born in Ely and we'll known
by all the older residents of the dis
trict. She is the daughter of Sol Hip,
a pioneer of this district, who lived
here when Hamilton was the famous
mining camp of the west. Ely at that
time was known as Robinson and had
no location on the map. 1t was to
such men as Sol Hip that Ely owes
her existence today. Mr.. Hip left
the district several years ago, taking
up his residence in Reno, where he
died last fall.
Miss Freddie Hip mas been act
lively associated with the food con-
servation board at Reno under Mr..
Lennon. Her brother Lester is
serving in Reno with the American
forces in France.
The work of the National Fedora
tion of Women in France will be in
conjunction with the Y. M. c. A.
Delegates chosen for this work are
women of the highest stand and rep
resentative Americans.
It is understood that the delegates
will sail from New York for France
early in January and instructions
have been sent to the members Of
the party to meet in New York at
once for special training in the work
to be undertaken.

BUT FEW CASES OF
FLU REPORTED FOR WEEK

It may be safe to KNOCK oD wood"
when saying hopeful things about tbs
flu situation, but from all reports,
the number of cases tabulated this
week is very small. The table
shows one case ON the fifteenth, one
on the sixteenth and two the seven
teenth, with no reports of later
cases.
Several physicians have expressed
the opinion that the settled condi-
tion of seasonable cold weather has
had good influence on the epidemic
and that it will only be short time
until the quarantine is lifted and life
about the district resume it's normal
condition.
According to the doctors, influenza
unlike other epidemics, refuses to be
governed by precedents and may ap-
pear in any section again even after
it has apparently run its course. The
advice of the medical profession is to
take care of every little cold and OBJ
serve the general rules OF health and
thus keep the unwelcome visitor
away forever.
