NATION WARNED
MEATLESS DAYS
MAY BE RESUMED
Unless Economy Is Rigidly
Practiced Food Administra
tion Will Take Action
Washington. D. 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.

&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.
But where are the oysters and the j
wine of yesteryear ?
