Saturday, November 10, 1917 BISMARCK ‘DAILY TRIBUNE SINS UND HOARD BN First Direct Move of the Govern. ment to Conserve the Fuel Supply. BROADWAY'S BRIGHT LIGHTS TO DISAPPEAR Washington, Nov. 10—The govern- ment’s first move toward eliminating non-essential industries to save coal was made tonight in am order by the fuel administration limiting the use of fuel ‘for electric display - advertising | to the hours between 7:45 and 11 o’clock p. m. A score’ of other in- dustries will be affected by similar orders that will be issued as soon as @ complete classification is made. ‘Faced by the realization that coal Production cannot keep pace with the Present rate of coiisumption, the ad- ministration is ready, if necessary, to guarantee supplies for domestic pur- poses and industries either necessary | in the conduct of the war or vital to the public. It is estimated that the limiting of electric .advertising to three and a! quarter hours each night will save 50 per cent of the fuel now used in main- taining the signs that light Broadway in New York city and hundreds of less famous thoroughfares in towns throughout the country. In a state. ment accompanying today’s order the intimation is carried that it may be- come necessary to eliminate electric signs altogether. Exception -was made in the order for signs maintained: by small merch- ants for the purpose of directing the public to places of business. If these are not of unreasonable size they will} be permitted to continue lighted while‘ the establishments are open for busi-} ness, but must be dark with the clos-j ing of the shops. Experts say that about 250,000 tons of coal are used annually for the oper- ation of display signs. This amount, it is estimated, would keep 100,000 west of mild te , things go wrong. families warm during the winter months. “Although the fuef administration is anxious to avoid interference with legitimate business just as far as-pos- sible,” says the statement uccompany- ing the order, “it is determined that the industries essential to the war and the domestic consumers of the coun- try shall be protected.” A committee of gas and. electric service companies co-operated with the fuel administration in framing the-order. COKE PRICES FIXED. Washington, Nov. 10—Coke prices for the entire country were ‘fixed by the fuel administration today in a rul- ing confirming the: price ‘of $6 a ton set by the war industrys board for Connellsville coke in an agreement with steel producers. In fixing coal prices the fuel administration had passed over coke, but. many inquiries as to what the price should be outside of Connellsville drew forth the rul- ing.

It was “Little Mac” and his facile: pen more than any other agency which put Stanley on the map.

Everybody clears the path and le:s them go on their way rejoicing, for they feel that the men home from the trenches or fro mthe sea are entitled to get the most out of life while they may. “And yet with all, the darkness and all the freedom, the streets are safer for a girl alone than they ever were in peace times. It isn’t the police that make them safe—it’s the people.
