NO SHORTAGE Of GAS
FOR PLEASURE CARS
Mark Z. Requa, Director Of OIL Divi-
sion, Fuel Administration, Ex-
plains Situation.

There Is no shortage Of petroleum for
immediate needs, according to Mark L.
Requa, director Of the oil division Of
the United States Fuel Administration.
The lack Is one entirely OF transporta-
tion. Gasoline must be produced as a
by-product in the manufacture Of fuel
oil used in the Navy. in merchant ships
and in Industrial plants, and the gaso
line must be disposed Of. Crude oil
containing the lighter volatile oils. such
as gasoline. is dangerous for fuel pur-
poses until the gasoline is removed
Obviously unless the gasoline is sold
and consumed the cost OF fuel oil will
increase. There ls, therefore, no inten-
tfon on the part of the fuel administra-
tion to shut. OF or limit the supply of
gasoline for use in motor vehicles. :
There has been considerable discus
sion OF the matter OF cutting of the
supply Of gasoline to passenger vehicles
following the precedent set in England"
says Mr.. Requa. but conditions are en-
tirely dissimilar for the reason that
England produces no oil and has to rely
entirely upon exports overseas. The
United States, on the contrary, not only
produces the oil for it's own consump-
tton, but large surplus quantities for
exports.
1T has been demonstrated recently
that 1t IL impossible to take oil for any
specific purpose without exerting a
detrimental influence on some other
branch of the industry. The problem
of what is least essential is an ex-
tremely difficult one to determine and
I am somewhat of the opinion that the
non-essential industry does not exist.
1T is quite obvious that the oil IA
cilittes of the United States must be
used in such a way as to produce the
maximum benefit viewed from a ma
tional standpoint to meet the existing
crisis.
THE priority list was established for
the reason that it is impossible, be-
cause of transportation shortage, to
supply all consumers. When the sup
ply is sufficient the priority list auto
matically ceases to operate. When a
shortage does exist, class twelve re-
ceives no oil until all other lower num-
bered classes are supplied.
Total stocks in the United States ap-
proximate 60.000,000 barrels as of jan
uary 1. Last years production ap-
proximated 320,00o.00 and there was
q draft on stock Of about 10000, 900.
There is ample oil territory available
In various part of the United States.
It is only question Of drilling to OBJ
tain it."

IS NEEDED
TO TREAT BATTERY
Starting Mechanism Regarded
by Too Many Motorists as
a Mystery.

"Despite the educational campaign
carried on by battery manufacturers. a
great majority Of motorists still con-
tinue to treat their starting battery as
. mystery. and the same question is
occurring day afte day. When should
q battery be repaired and when should
It be throwh awaye
THE answer to this Is. Put yourself
in the hands Of the expert and at the
same time bear the following points in
mind" says 3. T. Kalas. local branch
manager Of the Exide Battery depots
in Washington.
Have your battery opened for your
own inspection. and all separators re-
moved, SO that the entire surface of the
individual plates may be readily seen.
Expense of Reinsulating.
1T the examination shows that the
positive plates Ca chocolate brown in
gray) are mechanically intact it is SIM
ply case Of reinsulating the plates
with separators. and this can be done
at an average expense Of approximate
In some makes of batteries a very thin
wood separator or Insulating material
is used. and. judging from carefully
kept records. extending over period
Of ono year. these very thin separators
break down in approximately eight
months time. whereas the thicker type
Of separators last twice as long.
IF the positive plates are severely
warped or show excessive loss of ma
terial, a new set of positive plates and
new separators are necessary. The
cost of this repair is approximately so
per cent Of the cost of new battery.
and such repairs would give battery
life about equal to the life obtained
from the first set of positive plates.
In many cases the life is longer, as
the owner of a new car usually abuses
the car and the battery in the early
part Of its life. Repair or renewal Of
positive plates Is perfectly safe. as the
negative plates are almost equal in life
to two sets Of positive plates.
IF the examination shows that the
negative plates are excessively worn
in addition to the positive plates 1t Is
then advisable to purchase a new bat
terry. as the cost of repairs in a case
Of this kind is excessive by comparison.
'There may be some slight variations
from the above principles. but they are
exceedingly few and rare.
Don't get your knowledge from the
outside Of the battery box-obtain a
complete idea of the inside, learn what
the parts are for and why. 1t only
takes few minutes and it will save
more dollars"

BeLgi0us Return
From Long Exile

Belgian Headuarters in Flanders
Sunday, Oct. 27.-After four years of
exile the residents of now liberated
sections of Belgium are returning to
their homes. On all roads peasants
carts and other vehicles loaded with
household goods are moving north
and east of the rear of the old bait
tie line The returning ones exhibit
no exhilaration, merely plodding be-
hind their carts silently, apparently
unwilling to rejoice before they
have seen their village and know
that their homes are intact.
Young men and middle aged men
were on the roads but they were
moving toward the south. Being OF
military age the men We're going to
join the Belgian army. They had
succeeded in escaSing deportation
by hiding in cellars and elsewhere
when the Germans departed.
The population does not appear to
have suffered physically during the
German occupation. The women
and children appear to be healthy
and many declared they had suffered
no actual privation.
"But it was due to American food
commission,' they added. Had we
been at the tender mercies of the
Germans we should have starved"
The American Red Cross and the
American food commission already
are extending relief, The recon
uered country is badly IN need OF
food Of all kinds.

With the American Armies, Nov. 2.
German officers are now telling
their soldiers that all German pris-
oners taken by the United States
troops have their heads cut off when
taken to the rear. The obvious pur-
pose Of this is 10 prevent the men
from giving thanse.v53 up volunIar-
lily to the Americans. MS hundreds OF
them have lately done.
Sitting in an American field hos
pital today were two young German
prisoners who had been brought in
by a Brooklyn sergeant, a lad of only
90. One was slightly wounded The
other was sobbing and pleading with
the surgeon to save him from having
his head cut off, which he said he
understood from his commanding Of
ficer would be his fate. g.
The doctor assured the frightened
German that tn. Americans were not
quite as savage as all that; but the
prisoner was still trembling and
grieving as he was led to the rear
Of the American line by a corporal.

London, Oct. TO- Correspondence
of The Associated Press)-One re-
suit of the war has been to democra-

garded as practically certain that af-
ter peace has been declared England
will have a large standing army in
which a. large number of men Of birth
and education will be serving i'll the
ranks.
Before the South African war the
private was "a man of no social ac-
count" He was forbidden entry to
what corresponded to the American
orchestra" Of a theateT, and was told
that his proper place was the gal
lery.
The real characterization of the ar
my began when Lord Kitcncner sum-
moned the whole people of ENGLAND
to service in the Kings forces. With
the calling of every class, differences
Of social caste became Cobliterated.
Officers of the old regime contend
that there can be no efrectual MR.
tary discipline if officers anc men
fraternize socially. The other night
a general saw one of his soldiers
dining at famous restaurant with
a private soldier. He took the Off
Ger aside and expostulated with him

ELECT MEDIATION BOARD.

Organized labor has selected the
three workers representatives on the
Bethlehem board of conciliation which
Will act on disputes between the en-
ployes of the Bethlehem Steel Com
pany and the management, in accord
ance with the award of the national
war labor board.
The three members are: A. F. of
l.. Organizer Duffy, Business Agent
Williams of the Machinists Union and
Joseph H. MCGEE, postmaster Of South
Bethlehem. The election OF the latter
is the workers recognition Of his stand
for justice in their strike Of 1910 when
it was decidedly unpopular in this vi
cinity to be known as a friend of or
ganized labor. The workers have not
forgotten McGee's brave stand at that
time.
The selection was made by con-
vention of delegates elected by the va
rious departments of the big plant.
All trade union delegates wore red,
white and blue badge. These badges
were on the coat lapel of almost every
delegate and was a testimonial to the
increased strength of organized labor
in Bethlehem within the past several
months. The convention was called
to order by a representative of the
national war labor board, who is
charged with the work of enforcing
the boards award.
On the same day that the convention
was held President Grace of the Beth
lehem Steel Company asked the ma
tional war labor board to withdraw
its examiner from his plant. This re-
quest was denied by Joint Chairmen
Taft and Manly, who notified Grace:
"You personally agreed to the in
stallation of a system Of collective
bargaining satisfactory to the board
and under the supervision of the
boards examiners. This is a ques-
ton of the good faith of your COM
pany and of the government itself. y
