M. Kaitwasser. general manager of the Harrisburg Light and Power Company. Approxi mately fifty-seven tons monthly will be saved by the rules which limit sign and window lighting while be tween 15 and lt> tons will be saved by the elimination of a number of street lights. Two hundred kilowatts per hour for three hours is being saved by the fuel administration order which limits sign lighting, Manager Kalt wasser's figures show. One hun dred additional kilowatts is believed to be saved by the same ordat which limits window lighting. This fuel administration order is effective oi an average of 21 days monthly. With six pounds of coal required ;o jiro duce one kilowatt of electrical cur rent. a total of 113.400 pounds of coal will be saved monthly. This is something less than oneiialf of one per cent, of the total amount of fuel needed by ihe utility con panv for lighting purposes. The elimination of the 162 100-watt lights in the SI cluster lights in Har rjsburg will result in a saving of slightly over one-half ton of coal daily. Sixteen kilowatts of > urrent Is required for these lights and ;'V r h,', nS °P an average of 11 hours nightlj about 1056 pounds of fuel is needed to furnish this current. C. J.

One er is reported to be using even more than this, but ice cream dealers de-1 Clare that more than forty per cent, of corn sugar is difficult to assimi late in the product without affecting the flavor. Ice cream dealers were hit hard! by the sugar conservation regula-! tions. Their supply is only 75 per, cent, of the amount they used dur ing a corresponding period last year. | Where they operate a soda fountain: auo syrup dispensing and drink mix-' ing dispensary with their manufac turing business, their sugar allow ance was cut to 50 per cent. Conse quently they have been forced to hard strait* to meet the demands of the times for ice cream. Dealers declare the corn gsugar used does not affect the taste. Corn 1 sugar has only 75 per cent, of the, sweetening value of cane sugar, arid therefore its use does not make for; cheaper ice cream, for while it igi cheaper more of it must be used for! the same amount of ice cream. While at one time corn sugar was. noi in great demand, the sugar con-| servation program has placed It in j such great demand that to-day it is' growing continually more difficult to] obtain it. One ice cream dealer said! this morning he ordered twenty! bugs of corn sugar last week and re ceived only two. Another dealer! added he secured enough corn sugu'i to eke out his cane sugar supply only I by constant communication with the! l'ood administration authorities at Philadelphia. Soda fountain and soft drink dis pensers are also worrying about -.heir sugar supply. They are hardest hit b> being ordered to keep down to fifty per cent, of the sugar they couid have last year. Dispensers said glu cose is 'he great lifesaver of the syrup mixer. Glucose properly mix ed in the syrups cannot he detected from those in which sugar is used, and makes up in a measure for the sugar shortage. That many of the now popular drink mixtures and flavoring syrups are sizzling their swan songs when the soda fountain nozzles gurgle is freely admitted by druggists and con fectioners. Chocolate, vanilla, and one or two fruits in season will con stitute the syrups to be obtained in sundaes and sodas as the sugar regulations become more strict, it is said. Popular drinks using much sugar are slowly disappearing from the market, while root beer, which has little sugar in its makeup, is be ing offered as an ever available sub stitute. Lemon, orange and other flavors requiring much sugar are d;s uppearing. Some soft drink men have been hard hit by the orders of the Vocal administration to issue no sugar pur chase certificates for August until further nctice. It is thought thiy might be issued soon after the sugar survey of the county is completed Monday. BI'I.LER RETTRNS Commissioner of Fisheries Na'ban R.
