Sunday" Saved
Million Gallons Of Gasoline

A striking example of h Wiling
ness of the public to respond to every
request to conserve material needed
by the army and navy is shown IN
the results of ''gasolineless Sundays.
The request of the United states Fuel
Administration to automobile owners
in all the states east of the MISSISSIPPI
pi river to discontinue Sunday driving
until a reserve supply of gasoline
could be built up effected a saving OF
more than 1,000,0 900 barrels which
may be used for wal purposes.
The request to save gasoline was
issued on September l and withdrawn
on October IT. Thus. in a period
covering seven Sundays there was an
average saving of about $4,000 bar
rels for each Sunday. While the re-
quest for further saving at this time
is withdrawn. 1t is pointed out by the
fuel administration that If at the end
of two weeks stocks are found to be
dangerously low 1t may be necessary
to again ask the public to put the
voluntary plan into effect.
There has been no material in
crease in the stock of gasoline on
hand east of California during the
last month, Notwithstanding the large
amount saved. On September 16
there were 2,949,64O barrels of motor
gasoline and 340,SSS barrels of avia-
ton gasoline in storage and on Oc-
tober IA the stocks on hand were 3D.
134,731 and 166. 369 barrels. respec-
lively. This is the entire reserve
stock. including that stored at inte-
rior points.
While the peak load of domestic
consumption is believed to be pass
ing, the fuel administration is consid-
| ering the question of further conser-
| walton should this become necessary.
Meantime. the public is urged to save
gasoline during week days by clint
mating every wasteful method and
cutting down their average normal
weekday consumption by at least Is
or 20 per cent.

PARIS. oct. 24:-Emperor Wilhelm
conferred on Monday with all the
members of the government, talking
at length with each individual and
then harangued them in a body. says
n d~ispatch from Zurich to the Journal.
Thus far the German newspapers
have printed nothing concerning the
emperor's speech.
The war cabinet held another long
meeting on Tuesday. The address OF
the chancellor to the Reichtag Is crit
icized sharply by a majority of the
newspapers. The extracts from the
speech circulated by the Wolff Blu
reau, the semi-of1cial news agency,
are to some extent garbled, while
other passages bear so little resem-
bIance to what Macmillan says that
they appear to nave been invented.
The socialist newspapers, the Zurich

their way into the city from the west
and there have been sharp encounters
in the street between patrols. Fire
from the German artillery has been
generally weak. this being strong only
on villages and towns In this vicinity.
Many civilians are still in these
places. Without doubt many were
killed and wounded and the same

WHY PEOPLE LIVE IN CITIES
Subject Discussed In Way That May
Please or Not, According to
Ones Disposition.

In the American Magazine, Bruce
Barton says, in talking about his old
home town:
Rousseau once remarked that he
had never lived In Paris, except for
one definite reason-to get money
enough to live somewhere else. There
are times when huve had similar
feeling toward New York. Times when
the stress and strain and fretting Of
the job grew wearisome; when my
cylinders all are full Of carbon, and
my valves give forth leaky sound /;
when the white lights are only an i'm
pertinence, and the noise Of motormen
tramping on their bells is madness In
my ears.
"When that time comes, as every
spring it does, 60 home, and, speak
ing with my wife privately, say: My
dear, why linger we longer In a world
like this? We are but strangers here at
best; Foxboro is our home And we
fill up the cold coffee bottle and place
the ham sandwich in the bag, nesting
it tenderly beside the fishing tackle,
and HE us to land that Is better and
purer and sweeter; where the straight
and narrow way takes the place Of the
way called Broad, and there is no
white light but the evening star"

FRENCH PROUD OF DOG HERO
Brave Deeds of Artemis Have Won
Him Wide Renown Among the
Fighters for ia Patrie."

There was foggy night once when
his acute hearing failed Artemis who
was doing guard duty out on No Mans
Land. Artemis, 1t must be explained,
Is popular hero Of France, a dog of
uncertain pedigree, with a mixture Of
the Great Dane in him and a touch Of
the French mountain sheep-dog. So
cry on the part of his ears that Sec
ton of his regiment was cut off. Poor
Artemis! He had always been so faith
full and had so often saved his friends.
But they trusted him still and, to
prove it, they dispatched him with a
note attached to his collar warning
their comrades Of their danger. 1t was
a hot night on the line, and the bullets
were flying fast. Phut phut they fell
round the flying feet Of Artemis, but
ton was at stake, and he redeemed 1t.
He got through with his message. Aid
was sent to his squad. 1t arrived in
time. And there followed a celebra-
ton in honor Of Artemis, arranged by
the colonel himself.
The hero, however, was not yet sat
isfied that his duty was done. At
Ypres he continued to act as courier
and patrol, and no accidents interfered
with his efficiency now. Finally came
a day when the captain commanding
him found his own life threatened by
the attack of two Boches. None Of his
men were near him. But Artemis was.
The captain managed to kill one as
sailant. AS he did so, the other cock
ed his rifle to shoot. Whereupon At.
tennis, exerting all his strength, sprang
at the mans throat seized it so vicious
ly that he strangled him. The captain
was saved. So was Artemis; but both
went to the hospital.-Mrs. Elphin-
stone Maitland, in Peoples Home
