LESS COOKING, AT HOME'

An appeal is made jointly by the Coal Controller and Mr. C. F. Spencer, Dirce tor of National Kitchens, to local authori. ties seriously to consider the question of providing hot meals to the public during the winter months.

The Daily Hail, Express and Chronicle, all famous halfpenny dailies, have cut down their pages from 19 to.6, and occa sionally 4, and doubled their price.

and 24 pages daily with special editions The Times, which used to bring out so up to 48 pages for one penny, now gives 14 pages for threepence, and limits its output to 150,000. The Morning Post and Daily Telegraph have also curtailed their anything from 14 to 24 pages for one price. Where their daily issues used to be penny, they now give only eight pages, with occasional jumps to 10 and 12 pages for twopence.

The weekly papers 'have all cut down their sizes and put up their prices. One or two are three-halfpeace, but the majority are twopence, and they only give 12 to 18 pages. All magazines have sprung their prices from 50 to 100 per cent, and in most cases the number of pages have been rigorously curtailed the quality of the paper has certainly been reduced.

Another department of the coal economy enmpaign is in two sections-electrical and industrial. Engineers have been appointed, and the consumption in electri, cal works and industrial establishments will be closely scrutinised. Factories and workshops will be inspected by 400 trained engineers, who are giving their services, and any local authority, corporation, or business desirous of effecting economies should communicate with Room 309, Coal Controller's Office, and arrangements for expert assistance will be made. About 8 per cent. of the output of coal is consumed in the production of electricity. Inquiry into means of transport will receive special attention. It is stated that in one mining area there is a million tons accumulated, and it cannot be moved owing to lack of labour.

CAUSES OF THE TROUBLE.

There is a combination of causes at the root of the trouble, Demands by our Allies and possession of their coalfields by the enemy, extra. demand for war work al horne, less labour and means of trans port, shortage of horses, and many other reasons have led to the present situ

situation, Munition factories are getting less coal than they require, and some extensions Bre not in use for lack of it.

Some of those who are at the mines are of military age. These are stated to provide the most unsatisfactory aspect of the situation. What is called absenteeism has been rife. Some men object to work a full week they protest against paying.

"In the three years," states the Iron and Coal Trade Review, which bave elapsed, the position as to output has worsened absenteeism is as rife setor France has lost more of her coalfields, and ber requirements for coal supplies have considerably increased; the coal require ment of Italy continue at the same high level; and the ordinary consumers at home both manufacturing and domestic, are having their supplies rationed. Yet the working of a nine hours day, and the removal of avoidable absenteeism with the highest rate of pay in the history of the mining industry, would give the country. all the coal it requires for the Navy, Army, and munitions, meet all the needs of France and Italy, and all the require- ments of manufacturing and domestic enaumers at home.
