AMERICAS CONTRIBUTION TO

We are becoming quite self-as-
sured in designing clothes these days
and have made such rapid progress
that we do not rest entirely upon
what others give us.

women who spent different amounts
OF money and moved in different
kinds Of social life were asking for
tea gowns. there Immediately jumped
IN kind of rivalry among the work
ers to see who could get out some
thing startling and good.
The especial contribution in which
this rivalry has resulted is the rain
bow tea gowns. We have already
found out that We are in for n rain

In the face OF nigh prices, laid up

the Rock Island county fuel board. to-
day. who said that the consumers who
had the foresight to supply themselves
when the demand for fuel was least
heavy, have done real service to the
community as well as having protect
ed themselves from suffering in the
event Of q more serious famine.

RESULT OF SUSPENSION OF BUSINESS IN
FIVE-DAY CLOSING PERIOD Is SHOWN IN Y
STATEMENT MADE BY STATE FUEL CHIEF

Facts showing what the suspension
Of Industrial inactivity accomplished
during the Ave days closing Tuesday
OF this week are contained in Z state
ment made by John E. Williams, Unit
Cd States fuel administrator for ILL.,
nois, today. MIR. Williams says:
One car Of coal--the daily con-
sumption Of many q factory-will pro-
vide heat for 100 families at least a
week.
Since the administrators indus
trial regulation 457 900 tons Of coal
have been delivered or are enroute to
Atlantic ports for the coaling Of ships
needed In the war.
In one southern port 10000 tons OF
coal were delivered to waiting ships
in one day.
Working overtime not only violates
a spirit OF the coal saving regulation
but 1t consumes more light and fuel
than working on Mondays.
THE fuel saved in the five-day shut
down OF one industry alone was
enough to furnish power for making
machine guns for over 100000 men.
Every ton OF coal saved will send
a transport Of 1900 men several miles
nearer to victory

AMERICAN BOYS IN
CAMP WRITE MANY
LETTERS TO HOME

The American boy in camp is a.
great little letter writer, according to
a statement just made public by the
national war work council OF the
Young Mems Christian association.
In the central military department
alone a total of 3,724,603 letters were
written during the last month. With
nearly 100000 enlisted men stationed
within the department, the average
would be about twelve letters to each
man.
The great majority of these letters
are written in Y. NJ. c. A. buildings on
( Y. NJ. c. A. stationery. Paper and en-
velcpes are furnished to enlisted men
! free OF charge. The Y. NJ. c. A. build
| ings are fitted with desks running the
| full length of the buildings. Hundreds
/ of men use them at the same time.
| All the Y. NJ. c. A. huts in camp are
placarded with such signs as Don't
Forget to Write Home" and "Hemem-
Der Mothers Letter First the reason
being that the writing Of letters has
great influence for good. Likewise.
the receipt OF letters from home does
more than anything else to keep SOL
der boy happy and contented.
Entertainments, lectures, athletic
contests and recreational games under
Y. NJ c. A. auspices serve the boys in
their leisure moments and keep them
from getting lhomesick. An effective
work is being done, the report says,
for the men in hospitals. The secre-
taries visit them and write letters for
those who are too i'll to write or read
TO others who cannot do so for them
selves. They also organize educa-
tional classes and conduct religious
services for the men in the hospitals.

fact that they are cared for through
the fuel they have stored in their
sheds and cellars reduces the demand
here for fuel and Of course we are
thus better able to take care Of those
who buy small lots from time to timq
"A number Of people have the idea
that those who put in supplies last
summer are coal hoarders. This Ia
not the meaning of boarding. as We
understand 1t in orders we have from
the state fuel administration on prose
cutting hoarders. Those who have Goa
from last summer merely showed goot
judgment in laying in supply.
"Hoarders OF coal, as we interpre'
the orders. are those persons who have
sufficient fuel to do them for some
time, but who secure more when the!
already have enough. This will not b,

it has been for several days. Yester-
day there were only six emergency
