Hartford, Oct. 19 The Influenza
epidemlo at the coal mines has re
duced the production of anthracite to
such an extent that Thomas W. Rus
sell, V. S. Fuel Administrator for
Connecticut, believes Connecticut's
supply will be curtailed. Mr. Russell
mentioned the influenza epidemic to
day in this connection as an additional
reason why consumers of all classes
in this state should exercise the most
rigid economy in the use of hard coal.
Every householder, he said, should
buy at least one cord of wood to sup
plement his supply.
"From one mine after another,"
said Mr. Russell, "comes tho report
that the reason for the falling off in
shipments is the fact that so many
of the coal miners are ill with influ
enza. This makes for the time being
an exceedingly serious situation par
ticularly when one considers that be
fore the epidemic struck the mine
regions the number of anthracite coal
miners had been reduced fifteen to
twenty per cent, by war conditions,
and that the production standard has
been maintained all summer only be
cause each miner has greatly in
creased his own efficiency, partly
through the efforts of the Fuel Ad
ministration, and "partly in a great
number of cases through his own
patriotism. As a matter of fact the
shortage of labor at the mines is
bound to continue for the next 12
months at least, and in the meantime,
the demand for anthracite for neces
sary war processes has Increased
tremendously. I can not say too
often that the only answer for us Is
conservation.
' "It is earnestly requested that ev
cry householder purchase at least one
rtnrd of wood and use this fuel as
oh as nosslble to reduce his con
RiimDtion of coal. This is particular-
i trna in the rural communities.

Man and Woman Held
As Result of Quarrel
Etta Lewis, who claims nothing
more definite than Lexington avenue
as her address and Patsy Pappa, of
somewhere in Bridgeport were ar
raigned in city court today, the wo
man charged with soliciting and the
man with carrying concealed weap
ons., Both cases were ordered con
tinued until October 22 by Judge
Wilder. Etta is in bondB of $250 and
Patsy In bonds of $50.
When, arrested both the accused
were having a lively tilt on the East
Side over a utter of two Collars
which the Toman claimed Patsy
owed her. Both were taken to the
Second Precinct where it, was found
that Pats was toting a handsome
looking gun.
with the Fuel Administration and
through this organization the supply
of cord wood in the cities as well aa
in the rural districts, will be checked
up and equalized as far as possible.
Consumers In cities should first make
every effort to purchase wood through I
dealers In their communities. In
case they can not get a supply!
through their own efforts they should
report to the local fuel administrator.
Each local fuel administrator has a
cord wood member on his commit
tee, whose duty It is to report to the
state headquarters any shortage or
surpdus In the supply of wood, to the
end that the condition may be rem
edied without delay.
'I do not wish to ask anyone to
make any sacrifice in the matter of
fuel which I am not willing to make
myself, and I don't mind saying that
I have four cords of wood in my cel
lar which will cut down my coal re
quirements considerably.
'Not only should anthracite be sav
ed by the. substitution of wood, but in
every case where No. 1 buckwheat can
be substituted for domestic sizes, this
should be done without question.
Twenty-five per cent, of No. 1 buck
wheat may be used in domestic fur
naces; the price is 60 cents per ton
less than pea coal. Business blocks
and other large consumers should use
bituminous or a mixture of bltumin-
ouse and buckwheat. I am informed
that Mr. W B. Bassett, local Fuel
Chairman for Hartford, has enforced
this rule to such an extent that all
the schools and ninety per cent, of the
large stores and office buildings of
Hartford will use bituminous and
buckwheat mixture this winter. This
means a saving of thousands of tons
of anthracite. Mr. Martin E. Jensen
local chairman at Norwich, has effect
ed a saving of thousands of tons by
the same means. I mention these
two cases because the saving has been
, notable. Chairmen In all parts of
the state are engaged In the samo
good work and it is only by such
economy that we can avert a shortage.
"It Is not my purpose in making
this statement to cause undue alarm
among consumers. There is certain
ly no need of hysteria, because ship
ments to Connecticut as a whole to
date have been reasonably satisfac
tory. With rigid conservation we
should get through the winter without
suffering, but I wish to emphasize that
every consumer must do his part.

Beginning Monday, October 21,
1918 we will conduct a Dictation
School only on Monday and Friday
evenings of each week from 7 to 9:30
p. m. Dictation and Transcription
will be the only subjects covered.
Expert dictation will be given In
periods of one hour at slow, medium.
and fast speeds, and an extra period
is arranged for Straight Matter pre
paratory for government examina
tions. The minimum dictation any stu
dent will receive will be one hour
each evening, and the maximum will
be two and one-half hours. In all
cases, except beginners In dictation
work, the time will be two hours
minimum. This gives more dictation
per week than any students hereto
fore have had. The time between
sessions for the preparation of home
work means faster progress.
Students ' writing any system of
shorthand will be accepted. Our dic
tation classes have always contained
students writing various systems, and
special arrangements are made for
helping them.
A certificate of proficiency will be
awarded to those who pass our gradu
ation tests regardless of whether or
not the student began the course In
this school.
This Dictation School is an excel
lent opportunity for all those who
have not been getting the kind of
dictation that develops speed in the
shortest possible time to take up the
subject in a thoroughgoing and most
practical manner under expert in
structors. Students may enter at any time
and discontinue whenever they feel
they have gained the speed they de
sire. Under our methods of instruc
tion the progress of each dictation
student is resolutely individual and
unaffected by any other members In
the dictation group.
