80 LIGITLESS NIGHTS
ENFORCED IN STATE

Portland, July S-There will be no
lightless nights in Oregon this year
Unless conditions change radically,
according to Fuel Administrator
Holmes today. Holmes announce
ment follows a report that the ma
tional fuel administration plans tC
again enforce lightless nights in the
cast beginning July 10, as means
Of saving coal.
The situation in Oregon is far diff
fcrent than that which obtains along
the Atlantic seaboard and in the mid
die west. Holmes is calling the at
tcntion of Washington to the fact
that Oregon derives the bulk of her
light and power from waterpower,
while the east depends on coal.
On this account he says there is
no use in curtailing light consump-
ton in Oregon, excepting possibly in
towns where electricity is generated
BY steam. Holmes, however, will not
curtail steam plant fuel supplies un-
less the shortage in Oregon this win
ter proves greater than present con-
ditons indicate.

In recent sale OF Dickens auto

while he was in the United States, ap-

Il should never have made any sue

pains, or If had not bestowed upon

exactly the same attention and care
that have bestowed upon the great

learned every word Of my Readings,
and from ten years ago till last night
l have never read to an audience but
l have watched for an opportunity Of
striking out or inserting some

scripts as are in the library at Gads'
and think Of the patient hours devoted
year after year to single lines.
The weather is very severe here, and
the work is very hard. Dolby (his
manager) having been violently pitched
into by the mayor of New Haven "a
town at which am to read next week.
has gone off boldly this morning with
defiant written instructions from me
to inform the said mayor that If he fail
to make out his case he DOLBY has
to return all the money taken, and to
tell him that I will not set foot in his
jurisdiction. whereupon the New Haven
people will probably fall upon the
mayor in his turn and lead him a
pleasant life"

tre way to France or ready to be
sent! have found nothing to equal
the spirit of patriotism that prevails
here and the splendid results accom-
plished in this and other lines Of food
conservation are a credit to the
state"
MIR. Warrington said the most i'm
portant feat TO be accomplished now
on the calendar Of conservation is a
great food reserve with wheat as the
most important item.
This does not mean that house
wives are to build up a private re-
serve in their own cupboard, he
said. On the contrary, she is to
avoid this except in her canning and
preserving of all the fresh things
row on the market. But it does
mean that she plan her household
menus so that perishable food is con-
sumed and all preserved foods are
saved for the big national reserve.
Don't open cans" This should be
the motto in every household of the
land. Canned foods represent both
labor and material that are needed
il the great struggle. Tin is getting
scarce and is much needed So
would appeal to every housewife to
stop and consider when she is about
tc open a can of asparagus, peas,
etc, and Plan instead to serve the
fresh vegetables"
Although food is here in plenty at
the present time, Mr.. Warrington eX-
planned that reserve was necessary
to offset submarine depredations,
poor crops, etc. The housewives re-
serve should represent the results Of
her own labors only.
