ALL TO CLOSE
Rumor Fuel Administration
Plans Move to Con-
serve Coal.

When Fuel Administrator Gar
field asked golf and country clubs
to shut up shop during the coal
shortage last winter. those clubs
that Were located in isolated sec
tions promptly did so. But the large
majority being community CEN
ters" as it were, with the social
life of their particular neighbor-
hoods revolving around them to a
great extent, merely cut down on
sible and otherwise ran along in the
same old way.
There is q rumor going the rounds
at present, however, that all "coun-
try clubs" will be ordered, not ask
ed. to close down the first OF next
November. This is in line with DR..
Garfield's idea of the way to pre-
vent q coal famine being to elm
mate all "nonessential' industries.
OF course a club is hardly an "es-
sential industry but many persons
make their permanent homes at
their clubs. and living quarters are
not easy to obtain now. Most clubs
have been doing good work along
many lines in raising money for the
Red Cross, the liberty loan and in
the war savings stamps drives At
the country clubs, especially the au-
ditoriums. are used as meeting
places for various women's war
work committees and entertain
ments are given for all kinds of
charitable purposes.
1t would really seem that the
best method for relieving the coal
shortage would be to encourage the
mining of coal. either by sending
all miners, now drafted into the ma
tional army, back in the mines for
the summer or by offering q bonus
that would enable the mine owners
to pay their men for overtime and
yet keep few Jumps ahead Of the
sheriff.
