Asks Public Service Body TO Grant
Relief to Newark Company.

The United States shipping Board
and the Emergency Fleet Corporation,
through representatives, presented petit
lions at the hearing OF the Public Ser
vice Corporation OF New Jersey in New

GASOLINE REQUEST
AFFECTS PRESIDENT
Sunday Motor Trip His Gus
ton,ary Diversion.
Special Despatch 10 The suS.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-President Will
son will head the list OF persons affected
by the request OF the Oil Division Of the
Fuel Administration that Sunday motor
ing be suspended. The President usual
ly goes for a drive every Sunday after
noon and official Washington follows his
example.
The Oil Division held out hope to-day
that only few rideless Sundays would
be necessary.
Many complaints reached Washington
to-day. Most of the car owners prefer
a straight ban to the request. The Oil
Division issued this statement
Motorists are requested to initiate
every means of conservation possible in
the handling and use of gasolene and
lubricating oil. The useless operation of
engines when the car il not in motion
must be discontinued. Extreme care
must be exercised that gasolene and oil
are not spilled, that leaks are not toll
Grated. and evaporation not permitted.
The gasolene and hbricating oil user
must realize that there Is not an mex
haustible supply of crude oil. and that
the demand exceeds that of any previous
time.
War needs must be supplied first. BY
conserving through the non-use OF motor
driven vehicles for a few Sundays and
the exercise OF care other days, there
probably will be no necessity for more
stringent control"
The hint of minor official that the
action was taken to AFFORD relief to the
railroads was met by statement from
Director General McAdoo that the Dads
had surplus cars to carry the oil output

PRESENT LULL IN BATTLE

WASHINGTON D. C. April 20
The present comparative quiet along

here as only temporary lull before
another great storm.
Both sides are undergoing so read
justments and the battle has been so
severe and so telling on both forces
that let-dwn at this time was natur-
ally anticipated
During this period of transition re>
inforcements are being brought UP by
both the British and Germans to re-
form some of their battalions or re-
lieve them entirely.
The battle however is by no means
ended. The British are holding firmly
and will continue to check the Boche,

still ahead. American and British au-
thorities here rely absolutely on Gen
eral Foch's wisdom.

SAVINGS STAMPS NOT
FOR CHILDREN ONLY

ATLANTA, Ca, April 20.-Hugh
Richardson, state director for War
Savings Stamps in Georgia, and j. T.
Ross, executive secretary of the cam
paign in this state, spent yesterday in
Birmingham attending a conference of
state directors in the Sixth Federal Re-
serve district which was presided over
by Otto Marx, a prominent Birming-
ham banker who is federal director
for the w S. S. campaign in this dis
trict.
On his recent visit to Atlanta, where
he met the county directors of middle
nadn north Georgia, District Director
Marx discovered that the War Savings
Stamp campaign in this state is handi-
capped by the mistaken impression
that it is largely children's move
ment. On the contrary, it is move
ment which will require hard work
by the ables men of this and other
sothern states to make it the pa
triotic success that the government
expects, and the work. of the children,
although important, is by no means
expected to do it all A large number
of Georgia counties have War Saw
ings Stamp quota several times greater
tran their quota for the third Liberty
Loan, and the government is equally
as anxious for w. S. S. to be made a
success as it is for the Liberty Loan
to be made a success.

OF all the twelve districts none have

weeks of the campaign.
The district is going to make de-

ed by redoubled efforts at headquar-

At the forefront of the drive are the
the two relic trains which continue
their invasion of the out-oof-the way
districts. Eugene Harrington, chair

OohldA4ut AfAl
My dear Sir: Replying to your in
curry relative 20 vaccination and school
attendance, | have to advise as follows:
Section &C Of the School Law pro-
vides that no child shall be admitted to
the public schools without first produc-
ing u certificate of vaccination. Sec
ton l62 specifies the number Of DAYS
that all children Of certain ages must
attend school during the school year
Constituting the two sections together, |
am of the opinion that in cases where
parents fail or refuse to have their
children vaccnated so that they can be
properly admitted to school, they, the
parents, are s1bject to the provisions
of the Compulsory School Law which
provides punishment for the violation
thereof. | might also call your atten-
ton to the fact that during the last
session of Court, Judge Henderson
placed particular emphasis upon the en-
fOrcement of the law relative to vac
cinnation and insisted that it should be
given attention.
Very truly yours,
(Signed) E. K. JONES.
The above is wholly sclf-explanatory
and teachers and school attendance
officer should see that the law is ap-
Piled in such instances, unless the
children be yaccinated and come to
school. We shall be pleased to forward
a copy Of this letter to any address
upon the suggestion of any teacher or
other person Interested, or to any ad-
dress where it is known that the spirit
of the law is being violated as above
outlined.
Yours very truly,
