MASSACHUSETTS
REGULATIONS TO
STAND AS MADE
Administrator Storrow Re
fuses to Make Changes in
Restrictions.

Boston, Jan. 19-New England in
dustries, except those exempted on
account of being engaged on govern
lment contracts, continued today to OBJ
serve the federal closing order, with
no reports of violations. Many es-
Establishments which were permitted to
operate were unable to get together
full working forces on time yesterday
because of belated information regard
ing exemption rulings, Sand some
plants, including wooden mills in
Lawrence, will not reopen until Mon
day.
Business people seemed to be espe-
cially interested in interpretations of
the ruling affecting Monday holidays.
James J. Storrow, New England fuel
administrator, announced that while
the order did not forbid the opening
of stores provided heat was limited,
owners were requested not to open,
as transportation facilities would be
inadequate to handle a big shopping
rush.
Mr.. Storrow refused to consider
suggestions that the Massachusetts
early closing regulations he aiband-
ened. Even with federal regulation
in effect, he declared New England
could not obtain all the coal needed
and it was Imperative that every eff
fort be made to conserve tho small
stock on hand.
A STOW storm early today added to
the problem of delivery, and rehe1
organizations put forth every effort to
lok after the comfort of families
whose homes are ibareaof fuel

COAL SITUATION
IN MIDDLE WEST
GROWING BETTER

Chicago, Jan. 19-Reports today by
railroad officials on the movement OF
coal and clearing of their lines were
optimistic, and indicated that the ma
jority of the 81 railroads with termi-
nails in this city would be operating
virtually on normal schedules by next
Monday should not severe storm inter
fere.
During the last "a hours $500 car
loads of coal were received in Chi
cago and there were 2,10O cars in out
side railroad yards that have not been
switched.
More cheerful views Of the admin
istratfons fuel order prevailed today
in the Chicago district. One day of
the five day period had passed and
there had been improvement in the
coal situation. Then it was realized
that under normal conditions Satur-
day would have been a half holiday
for many of the number affected;
that Sunday made little difference
anyway; and that there remained only
two working days during which the
factories are to remain closed. In
addition, many of the doubts and
fears of individuals had been dissi-
pated as the local fuel authorities
gained grasp of the situation and in
terpreted doubtful points in the order.

State Council of Defense; I. G. Davis,
state leader of County Agents; H. c.
Morrison State Board of Education,
and A j. Brundage, state leader of
Boys and Girls Club work.
The committee has begun active
preparations for enrolling the boys
and girls of the state between the ages
of 10 and IS who are willing to join
the army in order to help push across
the statewide program which calls
for a million dollars worth of food for
Connecticut produced by the boys and
gilA
A. J. Brundage, who has had vice
experience as a leader of young peo-
pie in production and conservation
work, declares that the million dol
lar quota is not at all impossible. He
points out that if one-quarter of the
eligible boys and girls take member
ship in the food army and do as well
as the boys and girls of Connecticut
have done in the past in their club
work, the quota will be exceeded. The
committee in charge of the project
can see no reason why at least hail
of the boys and girls in the state can
not be interested in the work.
Enrolment blanks will be sent out
at an early date and the boys and
girls given opportunity to enter their
names. The membership buttons
will be forwarded a little later.

NEW YORK CHEFS
AND BUFFERS TO
ASSIST HOOVER

New York, Jan. 19-To insure the
returning of clean plates from dining
rooms to kitchens in the, homes of the
wealthy is the object of the organiza-
ton announced here today of the
Hoover society of Private Chefs and
Buffers.
From an initial membership of 20
buffers the movement is expected to
extend into every large private estab-
lishment in the city. Chefs and wo-
man cooks will also be organized.
The doctrine of over generous help
ings and numerous courses will be
emphasized as contributing to unnec-
essary waste. The chefs will provide
professional recipes to save sugar,
wheat, meats and fats.

APPROPRIATIONS
/. FOR HOME GARDEN
WORK ARE ASKED
Bridgeport Wants $4,000 to
Conduct Home Garden
Plans n Spring.

In letter addressed to the re-
Gently organized War Bureaus of the
State Council of Defense, Senator C.
G. Hemenway, chairman of the De-
partment of Home Gardens of the
Committee of Food Supply of the
State Council of Defense asks that
immediate steps be taken to push the
home garden movement where It is
not organized at the present time.
Information which the Home Gar
dens Department has obtained dur
ing the past few weeks indicates a
hearty response to statewide appeals
which have been made for increased
garden activity this year. Hartford
has organized the work under the di-
rection of an executive committee and
man has been hired to give his en-
tire time to the supervision of the
garden work. An appropriation of
S5,5O0 has been asked to finance the
supervision and the general manage
ment of the work and 300 acres of
land are either prepared for seeding
or are in a condition where work will
begin the moment the frost is out of
the ground. Practically all of this
allotment of land will be utilized for
adult gardening
Bridgeport is organized in much
the same way and has asked for $4,000
to support the work. The latest COM
munity which the committee has
heard from is Danielson, which de-
clares they will take very definite. ac-
ton in order that the home gardens
in their section may be cared for.
The childrens' gardens will be made
a separate feature this year under the
direction of the Junior Food Army
which will supervise all activities Of
the boys and girls in the state Pro-
vision has been made whereby any
boy or girl who properly plans and
carries through the summer a garden
under the direction of the Junior
Food Army leaders, will receive
membership in the Junior Food Army
and a button which will so designate
them. For those doing especially
good work, a certificate has been for
mulated which will carry the COVER
nor's signature and will be embossed
with the state seal, will be of a size
suitable for framing and a worthy
memento of the war activities of the
boys and girls who earn them.
At a conference held yesterday at
the Hartford headquarters of the
Committee of Food Supply, State
Council of Defense, the work of or
ganizing and directing the Junior
Food Army was placed in the hands
of a committee which will have

WILLIAM HORACE DAY.
Many large donations were reported
and at each one the enthusiasm was
renewed.
Another cause for enthusiasm was a
speech made by W. Seymour Lacy of
the Y. NJ. c. A His talk found an
echo in the heart of every worker and
they broke into cheers as he conclud-
ed.
| One gift reported was from the wild
ow of a civil war veteran who out of
her scanty pension gave $40 to the
cause and sent her blessing with It
to the workers.
The workers are out in earnest in
the two days remaining to eclipse the
record of the other cities in the state
/ and Bridgeport can again honor itself
| by liberal giving all along the line.
The figures given out yesterday
noon were as follows:

Quota FOR CITY

The Knights OF Columbus Wa
Work Fund is nearing it's minimum
goal the $4,000 set as Bridgeport's
quota.
Bridgeport evidently is not going
to let the fund stop at that quota but
will oversubscribe the fund as the city
has nobly done in other funs for war
work.
/. The enthuiasm of the workers con-
tinues unabated and at the meeting
yesterday there was not a dissenting
voice against a continuance of the
campaign throughout Saturday and
Monday. Some of the workers expect
to do a bit of quiet work even on Sun
day.
The subscriptions reported yester-
day brought the total up to $48,77S.
The meeting was most enthusiastic
Gre and the workers fairly went wild
when Chairman E. H. Dillon read a
letter from the United church which
made a substantial contribution to the
fund.
The letter follows:

New York, Jan. 19-While indus
trial New York again banked its fires
today in obedience to the manifesto
of the national fuel administration,
slow but steady Improvement in the
coal and transportation situation was
apparent.
According to A. H. Smith, assistant
director general. of railroads, encour-
aging progress has been made in the
last "a hours toward relieving the
vast congestion of freight at docks,
railroad terminals and sidings; move
ment of both anthracite and Ibitumin-
Gus coal to and from tide water IS
more frequent and an increasing num-
Der of ships in this and other ports
have been coaled.
The second day of the five day per-
iod Of suspension of industry found
between $1,000 and 10000 concerns in
the metropolitan district CLOSED, and
from 100000 to 1,250,000 workers
idle, according to estimates by vari-
Gus organizations.
! Today United States marshals and
the police aided the administrator in
detecting violators of the rules and
| WRITINGS were lSSu6u ludL prompt
prosecution would follow all arrests.
| Office buildings generally operated
today, but heat was reduced to a min
imum and elevator service was great

Labor officials report that prob
ably 80 per cent. of the workers in
the city will lose their pay during
the idle period
Many large establishments have
evolved a plan to make up the time
lost by working overtime on the reg.

BARBER SHOPS
TO BE CLOSED
ALL DAY MONDAY

In compliance with the orders Of the
fuel administration the barber shops
of Bridgeport will close on Monday
and on each successive Monday until
further notice. The move will neces-
state much inconvenience on the part
of the majority, but in view of the re-
cent order the absolute closing is i'm
perative.
