SUBSTITUTES ARE STRONGLY URGED [Continued from First Page.] use of their heating devices, to elim inate as much as possible all waste. Defective furnaces, stove and grates cause the loss of much coal. The conservation committee will attempt to overcome this propensity. Mr. Hiekok's first advice to the householders is to buy bituminous coal, bricquets, or wood. All three of these, he said, can be purchased now. He declared that he advises the purchase of these supplies as a safety measure, retaining the hope that enough coal will be received to see the people through the worst of the winter if they use proper conserva tion measures. He said that when cold weather comes, bringing snow and ice, and It Is difficult to gpt coal into the houses, a supply of these three commodities as a safety measure will be invaluable. As another conservation measure, he urges that heat be cut off from all rooms that are not used. It was announced that Harris hurg's allotment is 130,000 tons, and the people have ordered 173,000 tons. By means of last year's cards, and hy personal inspections, the orders will be cut down so that houses are not supplied more than they actually need. The fuel administration uses a regular formula which determines the amount of coal necessary to heat a house of any proportions. Within a few days cards will be mailed to householders informing them of the amount their orders have been cut. If the householder considers the cut too great, the fuel administration will send an inspector to his house to make an investigation of the actual needs. Half of the coal whicn comes Into the city is Lykens Valley coal, it was said. The remainder conies from the Reading coal regions.

The second half is a pic torial chronicle of reconstruction days in the South, including the carpet bagger negro excesses and the rise of triumph of the Klu Klux Klan. In terwoven with the whole is a double romance of the Blue and the Grav, suggested by Thomas Dixon, "The Clansman." To-day is the final showing of dainty Enid Bennett in the "Vamp," at the Regent.

It tells the story of a Russian Princess' love affairs. There are many highly dramatic scenes and the picture as a whole has a distinct heart appeal.

After an Park absence of three years, Tlicnter Kelly is as big a park favorite as ever. cxing before the fires were lighted in the pits a large crowd had collected about the rope enclosure. By the time the balloon was half filled and the man on the inside was yelling "More heat," "Good heat," etfc., a couple of thousand people were on hand for the initial ascension. When the big bal loon left the ground and soared up ward, Kelly waved a farewell to a perfect sea of upturned faces. The balloon king was still the big attrac tion. Kelly rode his balloon to an al titude of about a half mile, and then cut loose with the parachute—a straight drop of about 400 feet a sec ond, breathless excitement for the gusping crowd, the parachute opened and the aeronaut made a graceful de scent to Mother Earth. Kelly will make an ascension every afternoon and evening during his stay at the park. The bill at the park theater this week makes a most interesting per formance. The feature attraction Is Miss Dong Fong One and Harry How. in an act called "The Children of Confucius." Tlie first part of this novel offering consists of songs in Chinese and English, set off by color ful Oriental settings and costumes, but this, while good, sinks into insig nificance when, with practically a whole stage, they give a Chinese con ception of American dances. With another striking background they give a series of dances a la mode, which would rival some exhibitions of similar kind by persons with American conceptions.
