NO "GAS," GARAGES
CLOSE ON SUNDAY

Running short Of gasoline, several
local garages closed yesterday. They
were the only ones to close, however,
as no action was taken by the VIII
mington Automobile Association last
week pertaining to the closing Of the
garages in the evenings and on Sunday,
awaiting the report OF a committee
sppointed last Monday to canvass the
sentiment Of the local garage men on
the subject. The report will be made
at this evenings meeting Of the associa-
tion. Some garage men closed, because
they ran short Of gasoline, the pro-
duct mostly In need on Sunday after
moons. Should the automobile men de-
eide TO close in the evenings and on
Sundays It would be entirely.voluntary,
as no orders were issued by the Fuel
Administration TO that effect. The
movement Is voluntary on the part OF
automobile and garage men through
out the country with the object OF con-
serving the fuel and gasoline OF the
country for needs more essential than
pleasure motoring.

HIGHER GASOLINE
APPROVED BY D. 5.
Fuel Administrator Permits
Oil Men TO Raise the
Wholesale Price
CONSUMER TO
BE PROTECTED

WASHINGTON. July 22.-The fuel ad-
ministratlon today gave permission to
the oil producers to increase the whole
sale price OF gasoline. providing the
cost TO the consumer is not advanced
more than one-half a cent a gallon. The
railroad freight increase on petroleum
products was given as the reason for
the action and the new price is ef-
/ fectlve at once.
The advice Of the fuel authorities 4
conveyed In a communication 10 the
national petroleum war service csm-
mittee and said the government would
not object TO an advance OF one-half a
cent a gallon in the wholesale tank
wagon market price OF gasoline, naph-
tha and refined oil through the United
States, effective July 22.
''In no instance, however" continued
the fuel administration announcement
shall the increase In the wholesale
prices OF these products be permitted
TO cause an advance in the price to the
consumer OF more than one-half a cent
per gallon And II Is believed In many
cases the present retail margin Of profit
is ample to permit OF the absorption
by TIE retailers OF this increase in cost
OF 0ne-haf a cent per gallon without
any advance in the price to the con-
sumer.
After conference last week with rep

Paris Ready TO Move
10000 Ouf Every Day

lBy the Paris Correspondent OF thG
n. z. A.
PARIS, July 22.-Whlle Paris does
not expect the Germans to enter the
city, It is prepared for any eyentuallty
have II on good authority that In
case or real need, 10000 civilians can
be moved out OF the city every day
without panic or disorder such as
marked the exodus OF 1914.
Paris has an ideal man 10 attend 10
the moving OF the population. His
name is Clavellle and his official resi-
dence is the Ministry OF Public Works.
What he has accomplished I'm the way
or moving about French and Allied
reserves has made his name popular
with the supreme Allied command
and very unpopular with General Luz
dendorff.
Nj. Claveille sees that France has all
she needs In the way OF munitions and
armaments, and knows nothing about
politics. The time his predecessors de-
voted TO composing a speech for par
Lament. he devotes TO drawing up a
timetable. He Is doubtless the great
est timetable expert in the world

chose his motto, and 1t is "A Stitch in

ing at their destinations, having lost
their tempers and their luggage. That

everything possible to make things 60
smoothly and comfortably. Extra
trains, family tickets with reduced
rates, special system for booking
seats in advance-eyery facility Is be-
ing offered by him 10 those who want
TO leave the camp.
One OF the most important duties OF
the moving departHent has been TO
remove art treasures from the danger
zones.
Four years ago, when the danger OF
the Germans getting TO Paris was much
more serious than II Is now. the most
precious pictures and art works were
removed from the city museums. But
vast amount remained.
In the famous Louvre there are lit
orally miles OF rooms filled with pic
lures, statues. furniture OF historic pc
rlods and antiques.
The only place I'm the Louvre which
Is crowded is the underground region,
where the famous statues and marbles
are peacefully reposing among sand
bags.
It is now the turn OF private col
lectlons and individual art treasures
TO take an airing in the country. For
France holds that "a thing OF beauty is
a Joy forever" and forms part OF the
national heritage. even though Its le-
gal ownership is vested in individual
citizens.
As for the "All Clear" signal. Paris
knows it is coming in due time.
