I wish that you would convey to them my heartiest appreciation of the support they are giving this department of the government. "The- cooperation of the faculty and students of the universities sends a tremendous influence anion? the citizens of the state and I am very j,lad to know that you are so well in the forefront." The problem of conserving food at Notre Dame assumes enormous proportions amon the universities of the country as it is the largest hoarding school in the land. Meatless Tuesdays and Fridays, wheatless Wednesdays, and baconless are beinp observed. Meatless Fridays at Notre Dame, however, antedated the present war by about 75 years.

FUEL SHORTAGE STILL SERIOUS, SAYS HARDY There is no apparent let-up in the extreme seriousness of the South Ib-nd coal situation, according to Fuel Administrator I. P. Hardy, last nizht. The rise of the mercury duri!!r the p;t.st two days aided somewhat in the conservation of coal, but this conservation was so badly ne---ied that its effect is practically neutralized by the preat shortage of every kind of coal in the city. Administrator Hardy apain laid the blame for the present condition in regard to fuel to the lack of locomotive power upon the part of the railroads. He said that some coal is beinp received by local dealers, but that the amount received is in no way equal to the need. He Faid. liöveer, that South Fiend is no worse off in reprard to ite coal supply than are many other cities throughout the nation, and in fact this city lias not yet reached the point that some other places have reached.Mr. Hardy wants it impressed upon consumers that they should order, their coal from the dealers instead of through his ofTlce. He said that the Dayton plan, consists in the dealers filing th amount of fuel they have on hand with each other, so that when one dealer cannot supply the demand the consumer may be referred to a dealer who will be able to supply the demaud of the consumer.

Christmas vacation started for tho students of Notre Dame at Wednesday and the undergraduates lost no time in boarding trains that will carry them to practically every sta'e in the union. New York students had several special cars chartered for the trip to the Atlantie seaboard, and they were a merry lot as they entered their private compartments for the lonp journey. Classes resume on Jan. 7.
