COAL MEN ADVISE CUT
IN ELEVATOR SERVICE
Anthracite Operator Also Op.
poses Roasting Meat to Re-
duce Fuel Consumption

Elimination of the gas lighters in cigar
stores and of the practice of roasting
meats in the home are recommended ss
coal conservation moves by the anthra-
cite operators committee. which pro-
posed seven regulations covering those
points.
A decrease in the consumption of
electricity for illuminating signs of all
kinds and fewer elevators in large
buildings are also urged by the COM
mittee.
Officials of the Department of Health
in an effort to prevent a repetition of
last winters coal shortage at Blockley,
are storing thousands of tons of fuel
on the lawns. Already 1000 tons, half
enough to operate the boilers and pro-
vide for other needs between August 1
and April 1, have been stored on the
lawn. The University of Pennsylvania
has also made preparations to store coal
on its lawns.
The anthracite operators committee
proposed regulations follow:
First. Extinguish arc and gas, lights on
4 A. little later than dusk Much electric
trains and street ADVERTISING cigar store
gas lighters should I've discontinued during
the war.
Second. Fewer elevators should run in
big buildings and less illumination therein
during daylight hours
Third. Decrease the consumption of coal
for Illuminating signs of. all kinds on ave-
nues of traffic. along railroads, waterways
and in and about all theatres and other
places of amusement.
Fourth. Install llation of more gas meters
in homes, especially in apartment houses,
boarding houses and roominC flats \ strict
supervision Of the rational use by each con-
sumer.
Fifth. A public understanding of the fuel
situation through a police canvass in every
division of every ward in every city. town
or hamlet. A code OF instructions should
be given each householder on the conserva-
tion of fuel.
Sixth. Eat less meat in summer. This
would mean a big saving in fuel for heat
for big roasts.
Seventh. concentrated and pa triotic
effort Dn the part of the public to realize
1t is aiding the nation win the war by
self-imposed fuel economy. A little per
sonal stinting will materially aid In a
greater coal supply for the needs of our

Police Seek Well.Dressed Pair
for Robbery of Showcase
in Hotel

A well-dressed man and woman. who
promenaded the corridor of the Belle
vue-Stratford for several nights are
believed to be responsible for the theft
of jewels valued at s350O, which were
taken from a showcase of J. f. Caldwell
& Co.'S branch store in the hotel.
The case was in the Walnut street en-
trance, which Is frequenIed by few guests
late at night. The police believe the
woman acted as a lookout while the
man removed the gems. small piece
of molding was taken from the bottom OF
the case and the glass lifted just enough
to permit reaching in through the aper-
turs.
1t is evident, the police say, that the
thieves were experienced at this line
of work, as the job showed considerable
f1nesse.
Among the pieces taken were a barpin
with seventy-six diamonds and sixteen
sapphires set in platinum, a flexible
bracelet set with twenty-six diamonds
and twenty-six onyx stones, a gold wrist
watch with forty diamonds encircling
