To the Editor of the "Nonrn-CHiva DAILY News"
Su,—R.S.W's suggestion for charcoal stoves may be practicable in the Autumn but housewives will not look kindly upon this scheme while the temperature hovers around 90 degrees. The question of lighting is much simpler: just advance the dinner hour.
Withal, there will be less pique if we knew that the staff of the Public Utilities will also come in for a share of the increased takings.
