10. Keep tires fully inlatcd-soft
tires consume power.
IL. Do not drive at excessive speed.
Power consumption increases at a
faster rate than speed. Every car has
a definite speed at which it operates
with maximum fuel economy.
II. Change gears rather than climb
hills with wide-open throttle-it saves
car and gas.
ID. DO not use cars needlessly or
aimlessly. By exercise Of forethought,
a number of errands can be combined
SO that one trip to town or elsewhere
will do as we'll as two.
IA. Reduce the amount of riding for
mere pleasure by shortening such

The government is not contemplate

TO HELP IN MOVEMENT
TO SAVE GASOLINE
The N. A. C. c. is calling upon all
manufacturers in the country and
upon about $1,000 dealers, $4,000 gar
ages and 1900 repair shops to help
in the movement to save gasoline. 1t
is preparing a placard to be hung on
the walls of service stations, garages
and supply stations urging users to
economic in the consumption OF
gasoline. in the following ways:
l. Do not use gasoline for washing
or clcaning-use kerosene to cut the
grease.
2. Do not spill gasoline or let drip
when flling-it is dangerous and
waSteful.
3. Do not expose gasoline to air

4. Do not allow engine to run when
car is standing. Cars are fitted with
self-starters, and it is good for the
battery to be used frequently.

SHOULD USE GASOLINE
WITH utmost ECONOMY
National Auto Organizations Begin
Campaign Among Garages,
Dealers and Owners.
Save FUEL FOR WAR PURPOSES
Easy to Accomplish, Without Entail
ing Hardship on Amy One, and
~ With Actual Benefit to Car Users,
Aside From Saving In Fuel.

rs To guarantee ample fuel for, army
1 and navy needs and for the legitimate
requirements of motor car users, the
national automobile, congratulations have
begun their-rSave Gasoline" campaign
among garages. dealers and owners.
Cooperating in the movement are
\ the Mathematician Chamber of
Commerce Society of Automotive En-
I gineers. Motor and Accessory Manu-
facturers and the American Automo-
Y bile Association. with its membership
gof clubs and individual owners.
In his announcement. Van II. Man
ming, director of the Bureau OF Mines,
says it is estimated the United States
Army will need 35o.ooO,o00 gallons of
gasoline for airplanes. trucks, trac-
: tors, etc. He says:
Automobile owners need not lay
up cars. but should use them either
for trade or pleasure purposes thought
fully and judiciously. If this advice
is followed. there will be no undue
scarcity, for the United States pos
sesses an abundant supply for ordinary
purposes"
In the opinion of Chester Naramore,
chief. and John II. Virgins of the
petroleum division of the Bureau Of
Mines, and of many oil producers and
refiners. the gasoline situation, while
1t must be viewed seriously, is not
such as to indicate probable need for
drastic action by the government, or
tthe suspension of the customary use
full operation Of passenger automobiles.
yet 1t is the patriotic and unselfish
duty OF owners to use gasoline with
utmost economy. It is not question
OF saving money spent for gasoline
or Of saving gasoline to prevent an
increase in price, but of conserving
the fuel itself, so there will be ample
for war needs.
SITUATION HERE NOT
LIKE THAT IN ENGLAND
The situation in this country is not
like that of England because Eng
land is entirely dependent upon I'M
ports for her gasoline supply, whereas
the United States is a large producing
country. and exports great quantities
Of oil and gasoline. During the fiscal
year ended June 80. 1917. the United
States exported 425.703.130 gallons of
gasoline and naphtha. as compared
with 2S4T79,So9 gallons in the previ-
Gus fiscal year. Her exports Of crude

line refined in this country last year,
about one-half was used in the $780,
100000 motor vehicles in use. Even
II only 10 per cent saving is ef-
fected by automobilists, this will

Titles
Due to Change
Hands Tonight

A boxing treat is promised tonight
with the staging of the New York State
championships at the Manhattan Ca
sino, 155th Street and Eighth Avenue.
The tourney will run for two even
ings, the preliminary bouts being
fought on the opening night, while the
final tussles are down for competition
tomorrow evening.
Only those who are members of the
athletic clubs of the district and SOL
diers will be allowed to compete. 1t
is expected that big crowd will at
tend, as the championship committee
has distributed more than 5000 tickets,
while it has been forced to refuse re-
quests for more admission tickets from
clubs of the district.
Ninety boxers have entered the
tournament. Many new champions will
be crowned, as the majority Of the
title holders have enlisted in the SER
vice of Uncle Sam. Frank Cassidy, of
the Mineola aviation station, the 1885,
pound champion, will be on hand to de-
fend his title. While almost two dozen
soldiers are entered, most Of them are
registered as representing clubs of this
city in order that they may aid their
old organizations in the fight for the
team trophy.
