It 1 if 4 MAKE LOAFERS WORK The necessity of potting idlers and loafers to work is being impressed upon the public every day. The win ning of the war depends upon the utilization of all possible labor, and yet there are hundreds of able bodied men in Salt Lake, and perhaps thousands in the state, who spend all or most of their time loafing A visit to pool halls and other places where idlers are wont t to congregate will convince anyone interested that much available labor is going to waste. The nation has conscripted the young men for fighting and the wealth of the nation to finance the war, and yet thousands who are able to work and who coold help the United States to victory are making no contribution to the nation's' cause. The state council of defense should - not neglect this question ft day longer. What measures can be taken to solve the probleA in the best way should engage their attention at once. No doubt the state, city and county authorities will do all they'can to help. Several states, through their legislatures, have provided laws which are working well. The absence of a state law compelling men to work need not stand in the way of city ordinances or of other measures which will accomplish the same result. We have no doubt that ways can be found under the general laws of the states such v as those against vagrancy or the police powers delegated the various communities to make the idlers and the loafers engage in useful toil. In Maryland the law requires the unemployed to register and those who register are assigned to work they are physically able to do. Those exempted are students and persons fitting themselves to engage in trade or industrial pursuits and persons temporarily unemployed by reason of differences with employers. The law makes no discrimination in favor of those who are able to support themselves from incomes or of those who are supported by others. West Virginia was the pioneer state in passing a law of this kind. The law d requires every man of the Ette. between the ages of 16 and 60 to habitually and regularly engage in some lawful, useful and recognize business, profession, occupation or employment, whereby he may earn sufficient to support himself and those legally dependent on him. Every citizen between the stated ages must: work at least thirty-si- x hours per week at some lawful occupaiton or employment, and if he fails to do so, able-bodie- he becomes a vagrant and upon con viction is fined not to exceed $100 and ordered to work upon the public roads not exceeding sixty days.

March 1 Norh Cache at Weber, OPERATORS STEAM HEATING PLANTS The fueLadministrator of Utah, for the purpose of conserving the available supply of coal and to prevent unnecessary waste, requests that, effective January 15, steam heating plants observe the following schedule of operation: In public buildings, stores, shops and business premises, steam be shut off at the main boiler control valve at 6 o'clock p. m. "and shall not be turned on earlier than 6 oclock a. m. In hotels, clubs, rooming houses, theatres and moving picture houses, steam shall be shut off not later than 10 o'clock p. m. and shall not be turned on earlier than 6 oclock a. m. In all cases, special attention is directed to the maintenance of a reasonable and healthful temperature, not to exceed seventy degrees fahrenheit. Owners and tenants alike are urged to see that excessive temperatures are prevented by proper regulation of radiators and of ventilation. In the event that special circumstances in individual cases make it necessary to use steam heat at other hours, it is requested that special permit be applied for. The fuel administrator is confident that these regulations are practical and reasonable, and that they involve no serious inconvenience or interference with necessary business; and he appeals earnestly to all concerned to carry them out thoroughly and conscientiously, that, waste may be pre vented and our coal supply conserved.

This is a magnificent fact; an expression not alone of patriotism, but of the fine sympathy and idealism of the whole American people.
