Complying, therefore, with their in- structions, this store, as well as other stores, will open tomorrow at 10 a. m. and close at 3 p. m. Co-operating further with the city's health authorities the store will be closed all day Saturday. It is hoped that the Saturday closing of the stores, followed by Sunday, will keep the people away from the downtown shop- ing districts, and that the consequent Eeeeening of crowds will mark a great step in stamping out the influenza. "As Clean pF YOUR needs require a visit to a De- partment Store, we hardly need to say, after your six years’ knowledge of this bright, airy and clean store, that you are as safe inside it as it is possible to be any- where. Our store being so well known to the public, and its airiness a matter of fa- vorable comment always, it seems unnec- essary to make any statement on this point. We have here a building 120x108 feet, of six selling floors, of huge high win- dows opening on all sides, thru which heaven's fresh air blows all day long. Shop With Us by Mail or Telephone «~Telephone connections with the store will be maintained all day Satur- day tocare for your urgent needs.

NEW TIME HITS POWER PLANTS Seattlo is faced with a serious power shortage as the result of set- ting all clocks back one hour, accord- ing to J. D. Ross, superintendent of the city Ughting department. Two peak loads, which were for merly several hours apart, now strike the power stations at the same time. These peak loads are caused by the evening street car rush and the turning on of lights fn all homes as dusk sets in. The extra load placed on the power stations as the result of reverting to the old time is estimated by Ross as sufficient to light 10,000 additional Seattle homes. The drain is greater than the entire capacity of the city’s | original Cedar river plant. Ross urged the fuel administration several months ago to have the day- ight-saving law continued thru the winter, and waa told the administra- tion was in sympathy with the plan as creating an enormous saving thru- out the nation, The fuel administration has now informed Ross that, altho the bill proposed by Ross passed the senate, it was defeated in the house, Ross declares the situation is erit ical as the result of the building that is being done to house the incoming de of war workers, Coal oil lamps may be seen in thou- sands of new homes, unless the pow- er situation improves, Ross main- tains, | SWITZERLAND BEGINS TO CLEAN OUT SPIES (Special to The Star by N.
