dry industry uses 4 large amount OF coal
consuming approximately a million and
4 half tons annually. but a conference Of
officers Of the laundry Owners Ma
tiUnal Association with officials OF the
Fuel Administration brought Forth the
conclusion that fuel conservation in this
industry could be best handled locally.
Investigation showed that while many
os the larger laundries are operated eff
GENTLY. taking the industry as q whole
there IS q large opportunity for coal con-
scrvatiOn.
The recommendations OF J. Walter

West Virginia. are that laundrses ba
asked 20 overhaul their steam plants. aad
with the advice OF the state adninlstrs-
tive engineer. make such changes IN
their plants as will effect q saving OF

Masonic bodies in every state in the

time West Virginia is without such m

not long prevail as active steps are now
being taken To establish such an inSll-

will arrive in Wheeling Thursday even
ing or carly Friday morning to inspect
Mt least one site in particular that many

Of Wheeling location and In arriving
at a decision all Of these essential fea-
lures combined will prove weightier and
more important than the mere feature Of

standpoint.
Wheeling is much interested in the
movement to locate the home here and

advantages of deciding on Wheeling as

AMERICA ANSWER
GREAT j. S. WAR FILM

Americas Answer" the second and
greatest of Uncle Sans official war
films produced by the division of films
committee on public information, will
be presented at the Columbia theateI
for three days, starting Thursday
December Il.
The hundreds Of scenes making up
the feature have been selected and
assembled from over 10000 feet Of
films which was made under orders
from General John j. Pershing and
photographed by the Signal Corps of
the American Expeditionary Force III
France. The film has been viewed by
General Pershing and has his hearty
approval and he is the authority for
the statement that it is a comprehen-
sive accounting of his Stewardship
during the fiscal year of the war.
Likewise President Wilson has put his
official stamp of approval on the stu
pendous production.
The picture shows the transporta-
ton of American troops to France and
the effective convoy work done by the
United States navy; it shows the
enormous docks. refrigerating plants
and industrial assembling plants in
France; the marvellous feats of the ell
gineers in forestry, arranging port
facilities, constructing miles of rail
roads and performing achievements
that have astounded the French and
British. An interesting feature of the
film is that showing the arrival and
landing of the American Expeditionar,
Forces. their movements TO the CAMPS
and their daily life in the trenches
and in rest camps. Highly interesting
scenes are shown of the American
troops engaged in actual warfare
Nothing in the way of America s
preparation for the world conflict is
not shown in this production which

WITH FINE PROGRAM
HIP REOPENS TODAY

The Hip opens this morning after
the enforced nine weeks closing with
= sparkling, romantic story. featuring
Edith Roberts, under the very unique
title OF The Love Swindle.' Miss
Roberts is seen as Diana RossOm, an
immensely wealthy young girl, who to
seek relief from a number Of social
butterflies who were trying to marry
her for her money, slips away to her
country home in the Adirondacks
which is supposed to be closed for
the winter. On her arrival alone and
unarmed she finds the rustic home
filled with tramps who are making a
night Of it with whiskey, and in a
fight which ensues she seems to be
destined for rough usage, when there
arrives on the scene Dick Webster an
automobile salesman, who is caught
out in the woods in the night. Husky
Dick Webster makes short work of
the tramps, and in the subsequent
time he and Diana spend together
they fall very much in love, but Dick
is a Halter OF the idle rich and refuses
even his love for the girl to overcome
his prejudice against the monied class.
But this Diana girl is more than rich.
She possesses an equal amount of
brains. and seeing that Dick is not
going to be persuaded by his love for
her she concocts the story of her twin
sister, her double, who, like Dick, is
earning her own way in the world. Of
course, she. sends Dick to the twin
sister with n note on the pretext, then
taking her own machine, she beats the
reluctant lover to the address and
plays the twin sister. Hence the title
The Love Swindle." for, as the sis
ter. she hooks Dick all over again and
just naturally marries him and wishes
all her money onto him.
It is not only a sparkling, pretty ro-
