CONSERVATION OF FOOD TO CONTINUE AFTER THE WAR Plans For Xcxt Several Years I Gone Into by Local Administrators That the conservation of food will I continue for the remainder of the j wai and for a period of at least a ; year and a half after the war's close, ' was the word brought back from : Philadelphia by John P. Guyer, rep resentative of the county food ad- I | ministration, who conferred with I Howard Heinz, state food adminis- I trator. and the representatives of : other Pennsylvania county food ad- j rr.iliist raters. The restrictions on suprar. wheat , and meats will continue as stringent , as ever, with a possibility of more j strineent regulations in the future, I it was said by Mr. Guyer this morn- j ing. Food hoarding and illegal pur- j chases of foodstuffs which arf limit- i ed hj the food administration, will receive the condemnation of the lo- j cal food administration. Ijiiggartls After Cards The need for the regulations on foodstuffs will continue through the winter in spite of the apparent pros perity and abundance of the food harve><fc during the next couple months™ was the message given Mr. Guyer. by the state food administra tion. It was pointed out by Mr. Guyer on his return this morning that in spite of any increase in food stuffs in this country due to the large harvests, the need among the allies abroad will continue so great that the conservation program in this country will have to continrue un abated. A resume of the food situation in the state and country, and the needs ol" the allies for food, were outlined at the conference. This phase of the day's proceedings is being kept se cret by the state food administrator, but the general summary of the food situation is that food will be on hand in sufficient quantities to prevent hardships as long as the conserva tion plan is worked out. At the local food administration, sugar statements continue to come into the office, but sugar purchase certificates'will not be issued on the statements which came in after Monday. Eight hundred and sixty one certificates were issued to Dau phin count? and Harrisburg con sumers. Bismarck Advice as to Hun Marriages Should Be Revived, Press Says Amsterdam*—Bismarck's injunction that German diplomatic representa tives abroad should not marry any but German wives, ought to be re vived says the Koelnische Volks Zeitung in an article which strongly disapproves of the union of Count von Bernstorff's son with Marguerite Vivienne Burton Thomas, of Burling ton. N. J., and even more so of the marriage of his father, the former Ambassador in Washington. The latter's conduct, both before and after the beginning of the war and until America joined in, has, it says, shown many strange vagaries which would be incomprehensible but Luckemeyer, was an American wo man. The VoJks Zeltung holds that the Bismarkian dictum that a German ambassador or minister who marries a foreign wife should leave the serv ice, should be strictly observed. It further says that the service must be overhauled and reorganized on a broader basis. Sweeping changes must be introduced and many tradi tions of the old school must be thrown overboard. New Coal Veins and Improvements Help Output linzleton. Pa. —Increased produc tion of anthracite coal i£ indicated in the Lehigh region by the discovery of new veins and by Important im provements intended to increase the output. Eeds of virgin anthracite have found under the Tomhickon reser voir, west of Hazleton.'and prepara tions are being made to clear the j valley of water and strip the veins. The "coal can easily be prepared for the market, mining engineers say. In the Cranberry district a 22-inch 1 vein of coal has been uncovered and this also will be stripped and the coal marketed. Production of fuel will be in creased bv a revival of long aban doned workings. The Hollywood colliery of Pardee Bros. & Co., aban doned thirty years ago because it was supposed to be worked out, will be reopened this summer because of the great demand for fuel. A shaft has been driven into lower veins that were deemed to be in accessible in the eighties. Tunnels are now being run to get out the anthracite. A complete electric equipment will furnish power for several hundred miners. FARM COMMISSION MEETS Th State Agricultural Board is holding a session behind closed doors at the Capitol to-day.
