The State Council of Defense prac-

by the simple expedient of mapping
out plan which the local fuel ad-
ministrator to follow, and giving him
to understand that unless he followed
it, the governor would act in a per-

mapped out a program which DR.. L..

RED CROSS WORK To
Be MUCH ENLARGED

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. 18.-The work
of the American Red Cross for suf-
fering humanity will be enlarged to
scale beyond precedent or anticf-
patton, in order to give expression to
the generous impulse behind the move
ment in this country, is announced by
the Southern headquarters of the Red
Cross IN this city.
This enlargement of the magnitude
of the work will require a great deal
more funds that those already pledged,
and it Is certain that the Red Cross
Cross membership will be increased
many more millions before the war is
over.
Through the Red Cross, men women
and children, though they cannot go
to the front, are given means of
aiding the soldiers who are at the
front, and this volunteer spirit, very
previous asset, has an effective ex-
preston.
Through the Red Cross, one-half of
the nation, namely, the women, can
most effectively serve their country

By concentrating through such a
volunteer organization as the Red

so is the music.
In the first part of the show the aud
fence is introduced to ''minstrelsy up
to-date," presenting some of the well
known singers, dancers and comedians
of the new and old generation" The
song hits called for numerous encores.
The interlocutors are William M

DAYLIGHT SAVING
BILL WILL PAY
WILL MEAN FUEL SAVING OF ONE
MILLION TONS A YEAR-CLOCKS
ALL OYER COUNTRY TO BE AD-
VANCED AN HOUR.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.-President
Wilson has told members of the
House that the daylight saving bill
now in the House Committee on In
terstate and Foreign Commerce should
be passed at the earliest possible
date so that the law can become eff
fective next spring. The president is
convinced this measure will mean the
saving of many millions Of dollars in
light and fuel and the production
of great quantities of foodstuffs in
backyard gardens and city lots.
THE bill has already passed the
Senate 10y unanimous vote" said Mr..
Borland today, land is now in the
House Committee awaiting action
Chairman Sims will have it consider
ed at the very earliest possible mo-
ment.
The bill is in especial demand at
this time as a war measure. It fol-
lows a plan which has been in sue
cesful operation in Great Britain,
France and Italy, Germany, Austria
Hungary and other foreign countries.
1t would add one hour of daylight to
che business day of the United States
by the simple process of turning the
hands Of the clock forward an hour.
AS this is to be done simultaneously
throughout continental United States
and the zone system Of standard
time is to be preserved, there will be
no personal inconvenience to any one.
This bill has the endorsement of
President Wilson, who recently ex-
pressed the opinion to members of
Congress and others that 1t should
be passed Immediately.
"The benefits to be derived are
manifold, but the one which comes
into special prominence at this time
is the conservation of fuel The ex-
changing of one hour of darkness for
one hour of daylight decreases the
demand for artificial light in hotels,
theatres and other public places as
well as in private homes. This will
result ina reduction in the demand
upon the public service corporations,
the electric light, gas and street car
companies and twill effect a saving
of millions annually.
Because of the saving of time and
labor in mining and transporting,
Fuel Administrator Garfield urges the
early passage of the bill. He esti-
mates that the saving of fuel alone
will exceed 100000 tons a year"
