Under this plan, on Sunday night, and per- haps one or two other nights of each week, the order “lights out” would be given, and refusal to obey would mean shutting off coal supplies to the offending plants. Street lights and special lights need- ed for police purposes would be the only outdoor lighting permitted.. Thea- ter signs, advertising signs, even the electric signs directing patrons to moving picture houses and stores would be out on the nights named in the Fuel Administration’s proposed order. The plan has been proposed be- cause compromises which have been suggested have not accomplished any appreciable fuel saving and have not met with a hearty spirit of co-opera- tion. Many theaters and business houses had endeavored to avoid the consequences, it was sald today, and there seems little or no doubt that the new regulations will be put into effect soon. If they are, Broadway will get a real taste of ar conditions, so far as lighting is concerned. Conditions will be much the same as they hawve been in London, where afrcraft raids have made necessary the most severe restrictions. -On the nights when the “lights out” order was not in effect, however, there would be no restric- tion on the present conditions in New York. The Fuel Administration issued this | statement today, regarding the pro- | posed order: ] “The United States- Fuel Adminis- tration has under consideration a defi- nite plan for ‘lightless nights’ throughout the country, somewhat similar to ‘wheatless’ and ‘meatless days. “It is now proposed to darken all | outdoor lighting, other than street i lights and special municipal lights needed for police purposes, on certain | nights of each week. On other nights, according to the plan, signs would be permitted to burn. ““The plan under discussion provides for radical changes in the order put out on Nov. 9 last. which restricted illuminated . signs to certain hours, ! making such e cepuon‘; of merchants’ and the: as seemed reason- able. In application, it now appears, this order is impracticable. “The evidence of all eyes is that the streéts of cities are virtually as light as before these special signs were darkened. State I"ederal Fuel Ad- ministrations in New York, Illinois, and other stat ave reported in de- tail on the impossibility of getting re- sults from the old order. They say it is the tents of thousands of small signs that count. “* ‘Lightless rights' would save coal in large quantities, according to the ligurs before the Fuel Administra- tion. Tt would be a part of the plan ow every citizen the war neces- and have him join in the saving. In every residence, apartment house, an#l office building people would be Aasked to use not more than one- half the usual lighting. “Under the conditions noted in the November order the ~‘White Ways' have kept their brilliancy, and the coal saving has not been large; under the new plan the ‘White Ways’ would disappear entirely on certain nights.” |3 LIGHTLESS NIGHTS critieal inspection. this year early, and have accomplishing a two-fold at last year’s prices.

New York, Dec. 11.—Lack of sym- pathy with the war policy of the former President William H. Taft is president, caused Robert Gardner of Gardiner, Maine, to resign as chair- man of the Maine branch, it was an- nounced here today. In a letter ac- ' cepting Mr. Gardner's resignation ‘William H. Short, secretary, wrote; “The league has so often declared and demonstrated that it is not a pacifist organization that we were somewhate surprised when one of our chairmen should now only have discovered the fact. Mr. Gardner charged the league ‘seems to have no policy except to Join officially in the effort to crush Germany.” It may be necessary that Germany should be crushed but I can- not jsee in that any reason why the league should abandon its original object. The recent letter of Lord Lansdowne, whether it succeeds or fails is one example of what league might have done in an effort to remain true to its original princi- ples.” Cures Colds in South America LAXATIVE BROMO QUININE tablets remove the cause.
