Every Automobile Owner Can Help Win
War by Reducing Amount Of
Useless Driving

washington, Aug lS.-if the automo
bile owners of the country will stop
unnecessary and extravagant pleasure
riding during the period Of the war
they will save enough gasoline to take
care Of all the war needs Of the United
States.
If the automobile owners and deal
ers in gasoline handle this most per
feet of all fuels in a careful and eco
nomic manner, they can save enough
more gasoline to perhaps take care OF
the war needs of the allies.
The above statements were made by
Van H Manning, director Of the bu-
reau Of mines, department of the in
terror after a thorough investigation OF
the present gasoline situation.
"A patriotic, thoughtful and unset
fish response to these suggestions

one Of the perplexing problems now be

successfully the army and navy will
have to have Immediately on hand

machines. There must be no dilly-dal.

there won't be. It is estimated that
the army and navy will need for the
year, $50 million gallons, and there are
two ways of obtaining it. In the first
place, the JOY rider whose pleasure is
obtained by covering many miles at
high speed can voluntarily give this
up: the man who takes his family on
Sunday for a fifty mile ride or more
can cut this in half; every man who
drives a machine daily can ask himself

tary sacrifices. On the other hand, If
the people continue to be thoughtless
and unwilling to do their patriotic bit
in this respect. it may be necessary
for the United States to take drastic
action which will stop excessive pleas
