COMMERCIAL ECONOMY ADMINISTRATION ENDS Administrator Stumer Announces All Activities of the Department Ceased on December 1 Louis M. Stumer, head of the Commercial Economy Admniistration of the State Council of Defense, an- nounced that the activities of his de- partment were discontinued on December 1. "This includes the ward, county and community organizations | of the Administration as well as the central office. Under the direction of various | governmental agencies, the Com- | mercial Economy Administration was created to put into effect certain de- finite things with the double purpose of conserving man and motive pow- er and of including thrift throughout the state. Among these were: To restrict Christmas buying useful gifts and bring about early Christmas shopping, To limit deliveries by all mercantile houses--butcher shops, bakeries, de- partment stores, etc.--to one a day. To induce all shoppers to carry home, themselves, as many of their to purchases as possible, and especially | small parcels. To abolish special deliveries, To limit the return of goods for exchange or refund three days from date of purchase. To get early closing hours of all to | retail establishments both to relieve ; the people employed, and to conserve | fuel. All these reforms were made effect- 'ive - throughout = the state by Mr. Stumer's organization, but since the signing of the armistice the nation- al government agencies have remov- ed virtually - all restrictions, directly and others by implication.

Another Coal- Digging Record One of the Dest. coal-digging rec-} ords ever reported to the Fuel Ad- ministration was set up recently by | Rudolph Cheney, a Conifer, Pa., min- er, who loaded 18 tons of coal each day for a month. Official ac- knowledgment of the miner's splendid performance and the good example which he set for his fellow workers in "that and other fields was made by officials of the Fuel administra: tion, Figuring Weight of Ice A very close estimate = of the weight of any block of ice may be ascertained by applying the follow- ing method: The volume of the ice in cubic inches is obtained by multi- | plying together the three dimensions, * Divideing the product by 30 gives the weight of the ice .in pounds. For instance, if the block is 10 by 10 by its volume is 1200 cubic divideing this product by 30 gives 40 pounds as the correct weight of the ice. --Popular Science Month- ly. ---- Christ called men to observe seven grudgeless, hateless days each week: | to. forsake the awful luxury of "get- ting even."
