PATRIOTISM AND PETROLEUM

What gasoline conservation means
what the Bureau of Mines wants
it to mean to you and to me and
the other fellows careful use and
lack of abuse. ~
Unquestionably there isn't all the
gasoline that everyone wants. on
hand or in prospect. But equally
unquestionably, the gasoline situa-
ton is entirely different from and
much improved over what it was
when the war began, and-best of
all, it appears to be getting better
all the time. go
We are asked not to run our en-
gines idle. If 100000 cars elimi-
mated one minute of idle running
per day, enough gasoline would be
saved to run hundred cars for q
year, averaging two hours per day
per car.
We are asked to look to our car
buretors. Particularly is the new
driver urged to look to his carbu-
rotor. All new cars, properly look
ed after by the man who sells
them, have rather rich adjustments
to the carburetor. A new engine is
stiff and should not receive the
heavy, sharp blow of lean mixture
explosion. New owners who do not
make readjustment after five hun
dred or thousand miles are simply
blowing their money through the
exhaust pipe. and at the same. time
sending up in black smoke gasoline
that might be used to push some
other fellows car around.
Now-a note of warning. Uncle
Sam has gone into a regular he-war
with all his power. He proposes to
do his share and q little bit more
towards winning It. He can't do 1t
alone. The gasoline situation is in
fnitely better than 1t was-there is
plenty of gas for careful use. There
isn't drop to waste.
Hence-don't rest contented with
the Statement that it's all, over but
the shouting.
Instead-do your BIT by helping
conservation. Buy good gas, and
use 1t wisely. Run your motor as IL
you were running It for the govern
ment-as you are--carefully. Stop
the leak. avoid the waste. cut out
the absolutely needless joy riding
and then-and not until then-turn

Neptune is in a place supposed to

MOOring the Rotted Telephone Pole
to Prolong Its Usefulness.

The ever increasing cost of lumber
has led to the use of many devices
to save wood. One Of the most in

phone poles, which rot at the base just
above and below the surface Of the
ground The upper portion remains
sound for a longer time than the
base.
A short pole. creosoted SO as to
witnstand decay, is placed in the
ground beside the old pole and firmly
fastened to it. This adds several wears

WOMAN FINED
 FOR BEATING MAN

Mrs. Bertha Peyton of 30 Gilbert street, was fined s5 and costs when arraigned before Judge Bartlett In City Court today on a charge of ''beating up" Russell Bingham, of sOs Broad street, a collector for the Bridgeport Gas Light Co.
 According to the facts that were revealed in court today, Bingham appeared at the Gilbert street house to empty the quarter meter that is installed there. In counting the contents, he noticed that one of the pieces was a Canadian coin, but said nothing.
 As he was leaving the house, Mrs. Peyton is said to have asked him for change of a dollar, and taking four of the quarters which he had taken from the meter, he handed them to her in exchange for a dollar bill.
 Noticing the Canadian 25 cent piece, Mrs. Peyton protested and on Bingham insisting that he had just taken 1t from the meter in her home she proceeded to manhandle the col lector. He fled from the house and returned with a policeman and Mrs Peyton was placed under arrest.

AMERICANS /
 CROSS RHINE WEDNESDAY
(Continued from Page Onel

Across the river from Coblenz, in the fortress oS Ehrenbreitstein there has been a small force of Germans, but it has been withdrawn and alt American force entered the fortress today, following a request to that effect from the German authorities The German commandant of the place informed the Americans that by tomorrow the entire German army excepting small attachments of guards, would be nine miles from the Rhine.
 The position of the Americans $ slightly peculiar. Coblenz was in- formally occupied by a battalion which arrived Sunday and which served only as a guard, which prob ably would have been inadequate in event of serious trouble. German officers are here, treating with the American authorities, and discharged soldiers, still wearing their uniforms are numerous in the streets.
 Instead of cringing, or even show ing deep respect the population adapted an attitude today that found expression in josting American sol diers on the streets and in sneers ani laughs which were only vaguely con cealed.
 The burgomaster has published only the rules regulating local af fairs. The latest orders the closint of cafes at Il in the evening. It l. estimated at his office that there art sufficient foodstuffs in this distric to last till February, after which as distance will be imperative.
 Sales of fire arms are prohibitet in Coblenz by order of the burgo master, who is cooperating with tn American forces. All civilians mus turn over their fire arms to the mu nicipal authorities. German mili tiamen and discharged soldiers, wh have been assisting in police duties are discharged by the burgomaster' order preliminary to turning tn municipal affairs entirely over to tn Americans.
 All theatres and restaurants mus close at Il o'clock. These place are forbidden to burn lights afte that hour, because of coal shortagt Hotels also are affected, but in lesser degree. German grand oper has been presented at the large' theatre here within the past fe' days.
