On these nights stores not open for business must not show even inside lights more than are neces sary for safety, and municipalities with cluster lights or extra lighting for white way effect, must reduce to only such lights as are necessary for safety. These nights will be called "LIGHTLESS NIGHTS" With the present low stage of the water in Pied mont rivers this order applies to us in spirit as much as to those sections where steam power is used to gen erate current. With rainfall this order will no longer apply to us. But on Thursday night, December 27th, all windows and white way lighting in cities served by us will be eliminated. And we call upon every consumer of electric lights and power to use as little as the necessities will permit. In this we depart from our policy of urging the consumption of all current which may be used eco nomically, in order that we may aid the work of our government in the conservation of National Resources and the winning of this war.

Many thousand French women and girls, ranging in age from fourteen to well past sixty are employed by the British army at various kinds of work behind the lines. One line at which they ex cel all other workers is the paint ing of camouflage on guns. They also make very good packers at the various army storehouses and ord nance dumps, their deft, active fin gers making it possible for them to do this work with fifty per cent more efficiency and speed than any other class of worker. In many of the clerical sections of the ordnance department they work side by side with the uniformed English girls belonging to the !'Vaacsl,l" asl the members of Wo men's Auxiliary Army Corps, are called and in these departments a numerical svstem of markine has been adopted in order to facilitiS sorting, as most of the French girls have no knowledge of English. More tjian 1,000 French women are engaged in the "Receipts and Salvaee Department, where their work includes the repairing of res pirators and other equipment, the scrubbing and renewal of harness and leather materials in an oil bath and the sorting of recovered car tridges and water bottles. In the boot and shoe repairing de partment at one base 1,500 French women re employed in bootmaking and repairing. In the armorers shops French girls clean, oil and test bayonets. In the wheelwright's shops they clean and straighten bolts and paint wagons and traveling kitchens. In work at peace rates, the out put of the French girls has been found to exceed that of German prisoners by more than 50 per cent. VISIONS OF FRITZ Hickory people having heard much of the noble Hun, are interested in some trophies that have been sent back from France by Mr. Walter C. Taylor to his father, Mr. Walter S. Taylor of Rhodhiss. These souve nirs are now on display in the win dow of a down town store. The piece de resistance of the Ger man exhibit is what is known in Blighty as a "tin cap," otherwise a German helmet. Other articles are a coat button, a cap and shoulder straps bearing the numerals ''90", indicative of the division to which the Hun belonged. The ribbon decora tion of the Iron Cross is also on ex- ; hibit. This cross, it is said, was : conferred upon the captured soldier I ini 1914. Another interesting ar ; tide is a small first aid package, which contains a bandage. It bears i the words 1'fadien abstreifen kem ! fire." Young Mr. Taylor, who is with the 11th Engineers of the U. S. Expedi tionary Forces, picked up the hel met "somewhere in France" on Nov. 20, and sent it, together with the other relics, to his father in tLr.e for Christmas. i CHRISTMAS - ENTERTAINMENT AT THE IVEY MILL There was a Christmas entertain ment at the Y. M. C A. hall here Sat urday night, December 22, consist ing in songs, recitations, scripture readings, etc. There was also a nice Christmas tree well decorated and loaded down with many nice presents and we can say that the hall was crowded to it's utmost ca pacity and we are glad to say that the songs and recitations and the mu sic by the band and entire exercise was unusually fine or rather extra ordinary considering the short time that there had been for practicing. One week with only three or four practices during that time was all the preparation that had been made for the entertainment. And we wish to say in this connection that Mr. i R. F. Hicks, and Mr. B. D. Aber-j nethy, and others, who were the leaders in this entertainment, are certainly worthy of great praise in being able to get up such a fine en tertainment in so short a time. And at the close of the exercises Capt. H. W. Wlarner, the superin tendent, had prepared to give each one present some oranges and ba nanas as a treat which was greatly enjoyed by all. And we also wish to say that the entire entertainment was pronounced by all present a great success. T. J. L. lij the Associated Press. (London, Dec. 26. iFift y artists have been engaged to paint pictures of battlefields, roads of France, ruin ed towns and various other war scenes for the Canadian war memo rial fundi. The paijntings are to be exhibited in London for a short time before being sent to Canada, where a building will be erected in which they will remain as a perma nent tribute to Canadian war he roes. The artists engaged include Major Augustus John, D Y. Cameron, r,pnr(rp Clausen. William Omen. Ju lius Olsson, Charles Shannon, Frank! Brangwyn, Wyndham Lewis, H. W. Nevinson, J. W. Morrice, the doyen; of Canadian painters, and Ettore Tito, the famous Italian painter. The women chosen are Mrs. Swin nerton, Laura Knight, Anna Airy, and Claire Atwood. They will do training camp scenes, munition workers and Red Cross depots CHRISTMAS EXERCISES PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH The children of the Presbyterian Sunday school held their entertain-' ment Monday evening before a large congregation? The singing was good and the pantomime by the class of Mrs. W. B. Menzies was notable. A silver electric star added much to the j decorations. The collection for the Armenians amounted to $70. ' HICKORY RED CROSS j NOW HAS 250 MEMBERS I Membership in the Hickory Red I Cross now numbers 250, according i to a tabulation made at noon by Mr. H. S. D'Anna, manager of the lo cal drive. Incidentally Conover had secured 116 members Monday after niin and Statesville had secured 600 yesterday. It is hoped that there are at least 300 more persons in Hickory to join. Stroup-Moose Miss Mary Moose, daughter of Mrs. D. E. Moose, was united in mar riage at Charlotte Monday after noon to Mr. Grady V. Stroup, also of Hickory, and the young couple left immediately for Bowling Green, Ky., where the groom will enter a busin ess college. Mr. Stroup was con nected with the Consolidated Trust Oompany here until December 11 when he decided to take a business course, and his marriage will come as a surprise. The bride is a pop ular young lady and is well known in Hickory. They hae thve best wish es of many friends. The early 6 o'clock service at Cor inth Reformed church, a custom of thirty years' standing, was held as usual Tuesday morning when a large congregation assembled. Perhaps at no other service, has the late la mented pastor, Dr. J, L. Murphy, been so keenly missed and "each in his heart was thinking of one who was not there." At 5 o'clock the C. E. Society sang Christmas carols, especially at the doors of those who were unable to attend the service. Rev. W. W. Rowe, who will become pastor of this church at the begin ning of the year, conducted the ser vice and gave a splendid talk on Christmas, which turned as all things do turn at this time, to the war and our boys who are at the front. In referring to them, he mentioned and explained the large service flag which is placed across the organ. In giving the names on this honor roll, (a num ber of whom were present, his words were especially tender when he men tioned the three. John Aiken, Joe Murphy and Orin Ssgmon, "some where in France." The anthems were full of the Christmas spirit and mention should be made of the fact that the music was under the direction of Mrs. J. L. Murphy, who unselfishly did more than her "bit" for its success. A reading by Miss Oneita Miller gave a pleasing variety to the exercises. PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH THE ELECTRIC SHOE SHOP F. M.

The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. F. Hend ley and the groom is one of the best known business men of Hickory. The Record reporter was treated Well by old Santa Claus and his va- j rious Samaritans, all of whom are . good. Mr. C. C. Bost sent around j some real sausage, Mr. Chas. W. j Bagby provided a box of good cig-1 pipe, case and cleaners left at the office for him, and Mr. J. A. Martin brought around a large bag of or anges. He enjoyed the day from 4:45, when the kids insisted that it was time to get up, until late at night but he expects to enjoy thanking his friends as long as he lives. Pink Killian, driver for J. W. Shu ford, undoubtedly is the happiest person in Hickory. His son, Arthur, is here on a visit after an absence of 21 years and placed in the father's hands a $50 bill, gave his mother $10 and set the old folks up to shoes and clothing. Arthur is fireman on a steamboat plying bettween Balti more and Boston. The service at the Presbyterian church tonight will be preparatory to the communion service Sunday and the subject will be "the Vision of a World-Wfide-Peace," with Isa iah 1-10 as references.
