Boy Meets Girl Parties
Held at Friendship House
Bv Frances Lide.

Harvey w. Wiley has enough to
do to keep the average woman
pretty well occupied.
Well known for her energy,
however, and afiiliated with nu-
merous organizations, Mrs. Wiley
also has many other RESPONSE
bilities.
Recently. she was persuaded to
take on still another job-that
of organizing share your car
club among residents Of her block
OF Ashmead place. She has long
been a member of the Woman's
Safety Committee Of the Ameri-
can Automobile Association, which
is promoting such clubs all over
the city.
Holding the meeting was easy
enough, but getting word to pros
pective members presented a real
chore.
Mrs. Wiley was undaunted,
however. Personally going from
door to door, she left copies Of the
mimeographed announcements.
In one apartment house, alone,
there were 100 units.
Most of the time had to slip
them under the door to be sure
they were delivered" she recalled
with laugh.
But the club was started and
that was the main thing.
Now her principal worry is that
deadline for the next issue of the
Equal Rights magazine.
Guests of Miss Sarah Carrick,
member Of the Zonta Club, Mrs.
Robert H. Graham and Miss
Bruce Batol are finding the Cap
ital a delightful place to visit
even in the summer. Here from
Lexington. KY, they soon dis
covered the popularity Of their
hostess, particularly among zon-
tians.
Entertained over the week end
by Mrs. Tillie Chauncey at her
home on the Chesapeake Bay,
they will remain in Washington
for another week.

Es tie Associated Press.

NEW YORK, July 22.-The War
Service Committee of the American
Society of Heating and Ventilating
Engineers, composed of specialists
in heating problems, recommended
yesterday that approximately 350,-
900 of the 100000 oil burners on
the Eastern Seaboard be converted
to coal in order to meet the reduc-
tion in fuel oil.
Stating there was prospective
oil shortage, especially in the East
ern States and the Pacific North
west, the committee declared it es-
sential to save fuel that now was
being wasted through overheating
and improper use.
Declaring that anthracite coal
would be available this winter. the
committee urged conversion of oil
heaters for which coal-burning
CRATES were obtainable. It also rec
commended careful house insulation
and the shutting off of unnecessary
rooms in homes having oil burners
in order to conserve fuel.
The committee said that a check of
$4,000 domestic heating installations
inspected during the last 16 months
revealed that only 10 per cent were
in satisfactory operating condition.
While the Government has re-
quested that Is per cent Of existing
oil burning furnaces on the eastern
seaboard be converted to coal, only
2 per cent have thus far been
changed, the committee added.

NEW YORK, July 22.-Life's

chance to live, and held to this
belief even after double pneumonia
set in Monday.
Last night the youth was re-
moved from an oxygen tent long

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, July o.
A Statewide Citizens Committee in

removal of Florida from the list of
States affected by gasoline rationing
and urged 15-day delay In apply
ing the new rationing program.
More than 500 representatives OF
Chambers of Commerce and other

might compile data showing
whether Florida has adequate gas
oline stocks and facilities to con-
tinue business without severe gas

An Executive Committee was
chosen to forward the protest to
rationing authorities and to the
Florida congressional delegation in
Washington.
G. G. McGahee, chairman OF the
meeting, declared there is nothing
unpatriotic" in the committees re-
quest for the State to be placed in

States. IF evidence shows that
Florida can get along without ra-
tioning, why not remove the State

Japan concluded that she

out first clearing the western
powers out of the Orient. With
the war in Europe absorbing
their chief energies, Japan saw
her opportunity ind struck. You

True, Japan has suffered re-

and at Midway-but these have
taken nothing from the power Of
her land armies. For the first
time, she is now free TO smash at
China with everything she has.
All indications are that she will
do so.
Chinas one hope lies in get
ting weapons in time. Her lead
ers believe they are justified in
feeling that since these people

fort while only partially arme.',
She might withstand Japan's full
