Especial Dtspatch to The Tribune,
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-Regulations
Of the opening End closing hours Of
Offices, mercantile establishments and
places OF amusement as q fuel conser-
vatlon measure will be invoked by
State Administrators ouly to meet local
emergencies, and such regulations must,
in any event, be submitted to Washing
ton for approval before they are put
into effect, the fuel administration
announced to-day. It was positively
stated there would be no national order
regulating business hours during the
winter.
The decision not to make an order
regulating hours came in response TO
Inquiries from all parts of the coun-
try, asking if opening and closing
hours wauld be regulated as a coal
saving measure. After a thorough can
vass OF the situation it was decided
that the great variation in local con-
dition5 makes it impossible to issue
such an order without working greater
hardships in some parts of the coun-
try, and on some businesses than would
be warranted except in the case Of an
acute fuel shortage.
In the event of local shortage the
instructions to State Administrators
say:
mo State Administrator should issue
any opening or closing order regular-
ing hours of Offices, stores and other
mercantile establishments and places
of amusement, except to meet an acute
shortage CT fuel or power. When such
shortage occurs in. any locality the
State Administrator should draw up an
order which, in mis- opinion. best meets
such emergency, and have the order
approved by Washington before putting
it into effect

Politicians Worried About How

By Emma Bugbee

woman, the vote splitter, will make
her entrance into New York political
rscords on Tuesday. AL signs point
70 the most ruthless smashing of party
tickets that ever worried candidates
into nervous protration. No wonder,
with 100000 women registered, and
all inclined to be skittish with the
excitement of casting first vote, and
refusing to vote straight"
Probably this is the chief reason
why so little attention is being paid
to the woman vote. It is an open
secret now that in the special elections
held for four Congressman last March
neither party made more than the most
perfunctory effort TO get out the wom-
an vote, because neither was certain
said vote would not be q boomerang
NOW that the women have enrolled, and
nave voted IN the primaries. the situ-
at,on Is somewhat improved, but the
politicians are not paying any too much
attention TO them.
Politicians Scared
Imagine the excitement that would
prevail IN any but war times. if 1,000,-
900 voters of altogether too independ-
ent political faith. suddenly appeared
on the political horizon. To-day, now
ever, the papers are too busy to notice
the women, and the politicians are
scared of them. so they nave been al
lowed to work cut their own political
salvation for the most part. There
nave been few political meetings for
the women, and few appeals from the
candidates. to influence the women's
vote Most Of us have gone our own
sweet way, and we have had beauti-
lu1 time reckiessly smashing the man
made tickets.
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Ca1t. president of
the National American Woman Suffrage
party, declared some time she intend

Tuesday to See
End of Epidemic
Emergency Hours
Copeland Hopes to Set
Aside Special Rules, AL
though Favoring System

The continued decrease in influenza
and pneumonia cases reported to the
Health Department Saturdsj and a rel
ative decline in the death rate caused
Commissioner Royal S. Copeland to
predict that the disease ,7ave will soon
lose the proportions of an epidemic.
Saturdays reports showed the total
number of new cases of influenza to be
1851, as compared with 3,124 on Fri
day. or q decrease of 173, and the re-
sulting deaths only 263, reduction of
81 over Fridays record. The total
number OF cases of pneur onia showed
decrease from STA on friday to 5Sp
yesterday, and the deaths dropped from
232 On Friday to 221.
Ths. direct result of such favorable
showing, Dr.. Copeland said, would be
the resesading of the emergency OPEN
ing and closing order after Novem-
Der 8.
His statement co this effect, however.
carried with IL recommendation that
a permanent arrangement be made
along the lines of the emergency plan.
Ee declared that the benefits of such q
scheme have been apparent and that
officers Of transportation companies
have assured him that they believe
such an arrangement Will prove to be
the solution of the subway crowding
problem.
Employers Favor Plan
Ee also said that letters and per
sonal messages received at the Office Of
the Department of Health since the
emergency plan went into effect have
convinced him that employers and en-
ployes, merchants, manufacturers,
tradesmen, theatrical managers and the
leading representatives of almost every
class of trade and industry will gladly
cooperate in any movement designed TO
perpetuate- such system.
DR.. Copeland said that the resembling
order would have no effect upon the
rigid enforcement of all the ordinary
provisions of and recent amendments
to the Sanitary Code
For instance" he said. smoking
may be resumed In theatres, but no
theatre will be permitted to operate u
smoking room or allow smoking in its
auditorium where such smoking results
in an unsanitary condition.
Rules for Movie Houses
Nation picture theatres may resume
their accustomed hours, but the re-
quirements of this department regard
ing their ventilation, the prevention of
crowding and the observance of all the
provisions of the Sanitary Code will be
strictly enfarced. transportation COM
panies will continue to insure proper
ventilation Of their cars, but the man
ner of their doing so is now a matter
for their own selection. The campaign
against splitting, unauthorized dry
sweeping and other practices which
endangsr public health will be prose-
cuted as vigorously as svor."
