C„ May 3.—The Food Aaministratlon sounds the warning that unless there is a more rigid economy in the domestic con sumpt'on of meat it may be neces sary to restore meatless days to the in* nu. According to Food Administration officials, the seasonal decline in the volume of animals coming to mar ket is now in progress. This flow is expected to gradually decline dur ing the next few months, and it is desired that the domestic consump tion be curtailed in order to strike a balance. The * shipments abroad to the American forces in France and to the allies are growing steadily larger and have now reached 75,000,000 pounds of meat and meat products per week. This is in sharp contrast to the pre-war normal exports of less than 15,000,000 pounds of meat. Allies Reduce Consumption Even with these heavy shipments, the allies have found it necessary to reduce the consumption of all kinds of meats and poultry to an average of one and one-feurth pounds per week per person. The reduction in meat situation was especially mark ed in France, where the civil popula tion is not only limited to three meatless days each week, but has only a scanty bread ration. Meat less days were resorted to in France bei ause it was not desired to ab- sorb more ships for meat shipments from the I'nited States at a time when 'he ships are badly needed to move troops. The per capita meat consumption in the I'nited States is about three and one-fourth pounds per week and this gives latitude for a general re duction without any hardship being worked on any class. The Food Administration hopes to avoid meatless days, and urges that the civil population aid by In creasing the use of meat substitutes. Charleroi, Pa., Flings Warning Tir Buckets Charleroi. Pa..

N, J. &ARRISBURG TELEGRAPH LONDON CURFEW PRODUCES GLOOM Nowhere to Go But Bed, Nothing Else to Do After 10.30 London.—London olways took Us pleasures sadly, but now it takes theni eaiij and has pleanty of time before rising to consider what it has seen 'and done. Curfew came to the British capital last week, and with .t arrived a "reform in the night lite of the city that surpassed in its scope all the previous changes made necessary by war conditions, especi ally the raids by German aviators. One had become quite accustomed to the practical disappearance of all people and traffic from the darkened streets after midnight, but on Mon day night the faithful buses ceased to roll; the taxi drivers, who are be coming more impossible every day by reason of their refusal after a certain hour to take a passenger ex cept in the direction where their ve hicles are garaged for the night also disappeared; the few hotels and res taurants which formerly served as late as 12:30 had shooed their guests out at 9:30 or thereabouts, for after that hour it is now prohib ited to serve hot meals; the theatres had discharged their audiences promptly at 10:30, and all these thousands of people had swarmed the streets for a few moments, de scended through the entrances of the Underground, the Metropolitan and the tubes and dispersed to their homes, leaving the centre of the city as a "bobby" standing in Fic cadily Circus said, quoting reminis cently, "To darkness and to me." Probabl ythe reform that was most felt by the majority of pefole was the abolition supper. This mid night meal has always been dear to Londoner's heart. In pre-war days it was most frequently the connect ing link between the theatre party and the "going-on-party." An ev ening's amusement generally began with the dinner, which was never a hurried function, then trailed along to the theatre, where at least the last act and sometimes the second act was seen, and then came supper, a lively hour and a half or two hours, to be followed by, "Well, it's time to he going on now to Jack's or Molly's, as the case might be, for they're having a top hole dance at their flat tonight." This custom disappeared with the advent of curfew, for it is difficult to keep one's spirits up for a night's entertainment without < the aid of afes and restaurants, which' now lo<;e at 9:30, and no self-respecting night party could begin before 1 A. M. P.esides what spirits could sur vive rhe depressing effects of a pe riod of semi-darkness, for one of the new regulations provides that all lights shall be extinguished after 10 o'clock in all places where food or drink Is served. Therefore it Is no longer possible to linger at your ta ble after you have finished your din ner. On Monday night the restaurants land the big hotels that had never ■ tiad such an experience before were I dark, as were the corridors and lob bies in which guests sat often until long after midnight sipping coffee. At the Savoy, which has been one of the favorite supping resorts for years, everything was shut—restau :-nnt, cafe, provision bar and smok ing room. A few people sat around in the gloomy reception lobby, but soon went off to bed. Guests who had been to the theatres, some of whom had not realized the changed conditions, had quite a shock when they arrive dat the hotel to find the {.tmosphere of gloom that prevail ed. So effective have the new regula tions been in sending people home earlier that the managements of the underground systems are already considering the reduction in the number of trains run after 11 o'clock. This is one of the reforms hoped to be made possible, as the saving in light and power would be an important item in the economy of fuel supply, to which the earlv closing of theatres and all places of refreshment and amusement will al so contribute. There is one oasts in this desert of respectability and repose to which the ro.vstering spirit may re sor* even as late as midnight. This is to be found in the dreary, de- | pressing refreshment bars at rail- I way stations. Here it will be possi ble to procure cups of tea and dry Ringer ale. Soggy cakes and heavy cold sausage sandwiches may also be procured. Here he gav dogs may keep up their revels until the last taxi disappears at the stroke of 12.
