HARRISBURG IS
COMMENDED FOR
RED CROSS WORK
Chapter Pleased, DR.,
Lewis S. Nudge Reports;
Visits President

That National Red Cross officials
with the work of the Harrisburg
chapter was the statement made by
DR.. Lewis NJ. Nudge in Pine Street
Presbyterian Church last night. DR..
Nudge in his address told of visit
to the offices of the President, the
Food Administrator, the Fuel Ad-
ministration and other government
offices made in company with emil
nent Presbyterian clergymen.
Three seuttles of coal are neces-
sary for the manufacture of three
inch SHE'LL" he told his congrega-
ton. "A three-inch shell is equiva-
lent to a saved life. This is war of
shells, shells, shells" AS a further
means of laying emphasis upon the
need for fuel conservation he de-
clared that we are saving coal to save
lives.
Visit Officials
When visiting Secretary Daniels OF
Ilic navy DSpdl liilShl bhS SASA hASh
were urged 10 stand behind the work
of the "Y" and other war work or
ganizations as the best means Of
the Army and Navy. When
the Americans are asked to concerve,
they conserve. 1t is not necessary
for US to place them on ration
basis" declared Food Administrator
Herbert Hoover, in his interview
with the ministers.
I'VE are fighting for justice, justice
for all the world" said President
Wilson in speaking to the clergy-
men, DIR. Nudge declared This is
the first Christian war in the history
of the world" the man of the White
House continued. This country will
reap at least two great benefits from
it. One of these will be that it will
greatly unity the nation because of
the unsellish motive that is backing
the war here. The other is the
friendship ties between nations that
will result"
Mr.. Nudge praised men in charge
of the nations work and declared
they were fit and big enough for
their jobs. ''All men should thank
God that at this hour of our need
we have sucn men as this in the high
places of our country" he said.

Please allow me space in your
valuable paper to say to the citizens
OF Cambridge and Dorchester coun-
~ that, While some OF our young
men are going to the front. some
are enlisting in the Navy, and others
are going to the United States Gov
ernment environments for training,
think it would be a splendid idea if
the men remaining at home, in our
city and county, would organize a
good, large company of home guards.
l feel that in doing this in our
community, it would stir up patriot
ism. and keep the people at home
fully alive to the situation. We
have d new armory, now about COM
pleted, in our city, which no doubt
could be had by such an organiZa-
ton, and / think that the State or
National Government would fully
equip such an organization, if they
were organized. |, personally, have
talked with several men recently in
reference to this organization, and l
have not found the first one yet. who
did not agree with me that we
should have something of this char
acter, and from the different con-
verSatiOnS | have had, | am prompt
ed to write this letter to be publish
ed in your paper, and would thank
you to give us an editorial or any
comment you deem wise, pertaining
to same, as l would like very much
to have some expression from our
citizens. Yours very truly,

FUELLESS MONDAY

Should Weather Conditions Permit,
1t May be The Last Day That

Washington, Feb. S.-Continued
improvement in weather and trans
portation conditions will bring an
end TO the heatless Monday program
after its enforcement next Monday,
Fuel Administrator Garfield an
nounced tonight.
Suspension OF the program imme-
diately in eight Southern States was
authorized today by DR.. Garfield af-
ter the receipts of reports shown
that higher temperatures have re-
lieved the coal shortage in the South
to such an extent that further clos
ing is made unnecessary. The States
included are North and South Caro-
lima, Tennessee. Georgia, Florida,
Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana.
DR.. Garfield was more hopeful oy-
er the general outlook tonight than
at any time for weeks past. AL
though there is danger of floods
from melting SHOWS and consequent
interference with traffic, he thinks
warmer weather will bring far bet
ter situation than has existed during
the recent cold spell.
All places housing workers who
are members of the International
Ladies' Garment Workers Union
were exempted today from the Mon
day closing. Many of them are
working on clothing for the army.

Because FL Paso people not heavily interested
financially IN the FL Paso street railway. 1t does not
follow that they have interest their street railway.
As matter of fact they have larger interest than any
stakeholder could have who has no other interest in FL
Paso. But if the street cars STOP if their efficiency
IS seriously impaired and the service they give inadequate,
and does up to the needs of the city. then
every man, woman and child IN FL Paso Is hurt There
Is no escaping the community Of interest which exists
between FL Paso and its traction system. Each inter-
dependent upon the other and one can not prosper
without the other. If FL Paso suffers financial
the street railway feels it and if the street railway IS
permitted to be starved It follows fate that
FL Paso viii feel it There escaping this fact any
more than there escape from that other fact that
corporation. individual community indefinitely
continue to sell commodity at less than cost without
day of final reckoning. The FL Paso street railway
has been selling transporaton-ts only commodity
at less than cost of production and 1t not IN the
order of things, go on doing this without that day Of
reckoning.
