ORDER TO RESTORE
"LIGHTLESS NIGHTS"

To County Chairmen:
For your information we quote ad-
vice received from Washington:
"The order of the United States
Fuel Adm nistration curtailing un-
necessary lighting, which will go into
effect shortly, is far reaching. 1t
forbids wasteful pra :tices in outdoor
lighting and especially illumination
during the daylight hours. AS now
proposed the order restricts display
illumination, store window illumina-
ton, electric advertising and ; other
forms of lighting, which in ordinary
times are considered legitimate mer-
chandising propaganda, to four nights
week in the Eastern states, where
coal is particularly short, and to two
nights a week in other parts of the
country.
Advertising companies and store
owners have insisted that display
lighting and display advertising were
legitimate industries and involved
large legitimate investments of capi-
tai. They have practically recog-
nized, however, that conditions
brought about by the war have made
necessary immense personal sacri-
fees on the part of those whose busi-
ness involves a large consumption of
fuel. They are unfortunate enough
to have their investments in a busi-
ness which, while legitimate and even
important in times of peace, can be
more easily spared in times of war
than many others.
''The new "lghtless night" order is
to be followed by another order, in
preparation, establishing rules for
lighting and heating large public
buildings, including office buildings,
hotels and apartment houses. These
regulations will reduce the present
practice very considerably.
''The public will be asked at the
same time to reduce lighting in
homes.
ga survey of the lighting and heat
ing practices of the country has
shown that change to a war stand
dard of economy will save the coun-
try from a very disastrous fuel short
age the coming winter, and when all
of the regulations which have been
passed upon by the Fuel Administra-
ton as reasonable and necessary are
