Hartford, Conn, oct. 28.-(UP)- Chief air raid wardens were asked today by State Defense Administra- tor Wesley A. Sturges to report to him all manufacturing plants fail- ing to comply with blackout regula- tions during test raids.
 Tn addition to reporting the names of the plants, wardens were re- quested to give the character of H. Illumination observed.
 The Army recently included war industries in all blackout tests.
 Sturges also notified wardens that effective today, and for period of 60 days, certain plants having such operations as the melting and pour ing of metal or the mixing of chem- icals in war production, may post pone compliance with test blackouts insofar as 1t may be found neces- sary to. prevent substantial damage to equipment or material in produc- ton.

ISCHWAB SCHOOL BUSY TRAINING
 WAR WORKERS

Pittsburgh, oct. 20 ItUp)-The oldest industrial school in the State of Pennsylvania Is operating on on around the clock" schedule to turn out skilled workers required to meet the occupational needs of one of the busiest defense centers in the country.
 The venerable schwab vocation- al high school, situated in nearby Homestead, is humming with high speed war machinery day and night, training workers as planers, milling machine operators, lathe and drill press operators, flame cut- ters, Scarfers, heat treaters. layer outs, welders, and power saw op- erators-under Q program spon- sored by the Federal Securities Agency and supervised by the Oface of Education.
 An outright gift to the people of Homestead by the late Charles M. Schwab, former Bethlehem Steel corporation president, presented in 1903, the school has but one object to provide boys and girls with Q working chance in life," and to "teach that work is ennobling, that to be able to do nothing is disgrace full" .e-
 Among those studying at the school have been l90 trainees who were selected from relief rolls and placed in mill jobs, thereby reduc- ing relief costs. A supplementary course at the school also has pro- vided over 200 skilled workers to the local war supply.
 The Schwab school was one of the earliest in the country to in- troduce manual training, and at- tracted many students through its foundry, the first in any state school. After @ period of decline the Schwab school was changed in 1917 from an industrial school to vocational high school.
 According to c. F. Wintersteen principal of the school since 1923 the machines used in the school are the counterparts of actual machin. cry used in mills. Wintersteen dis. closed that workmen from courses taught at the school will be picked l for the new super defense plants new being constructed nearby.
 Schwab, who rose from a $10-a' month grocery clerk in BradodcK Pa, to one of the worlds leading industrialists, has left behind success formula which graduates of the school appreciate. Saic Schwab, "There is one thing I dis covered very early-that 1t woult be well to make myself indispensa ble. A man must be wide awake and up-to-date. His futur' depends mostly on himself"

DOMESTIC USE OF GAS THREATENED
Voluntary Conservation Must Be Followed to Aid
 Industry Consumption

Washington, Oct. 2S -(UP)- Eighty-five million consumers to- day had the choice of voluntarily conserving natural and manufactur- ed gas or having their supplies cur tailed by government edict.
 Warning that many companies already are operating on dangerous ly low reserves which could be easily wiped out during periods of ex- tremely cold weather, Herbert s. Marks, acting chief of the WIPE power branch, said war industries will be shown preference if short ages occur.
 "These plants must continue to function even if domestic users are cut off as a result" he said.
 Marks said manufactured gas shortages may occur in the Atlantic Coast states, the Central and North Central sections and the Pacific Northwest. Among cities in this group are Portland, Me, Boston, Brooklyn, Rochester, New York and Baltimore.
 He was confident that consumers would participate voluntarily in the effort to conserve gas, and suggested that they:
 Refrain from using the range for space heating.
 Make the house air-tight through insulation and other procedure.
 Put heating system in top-notch condition.
 Set thermostat at 65 degrees dur ing the day and lofer at night.
 Economize in use of the range by using low blue flame, cutting dowr on amount of water used to cook vegetables, cooking more one-dist meals.
 Economize in use of water heater by repairing leaky faucets, insulating pipes and tanks and setting ther' moSttats at minimum l20-l40 de grees).
 Economic in use of refrigerator by not leaving the door open, no putting hot or warm dishes il refrigerators and not crowding.
