T UE[ ECONOMY
REAL OBLIGATION
It's Up to Motorist to Get
Most Mileage They Can
From Gallon.

For the most part, the motoring
public is apt to think Of fuel economy
merely as a saving Of money" says
Leo J. frost OF the Franklin Motor
car company, yet the question is so
much broader that real conservation
OF the supply OF gasoline and oil be-
comes a national obligation OF equal
Importance to coal conservation. It
is not so much a question nowadays
as 70 whether an automobile owner
can afford 10 use gasoline and oil ex-
trdvagantly and 20 be careless about
costs in automobile operation Eener-
ally, for IL must be remembered that
while the money expended for fuel
can be used again and again in nor
NAL circulation. the fuel once con-
sumed is actually an economic loss,
rs Tar as the supply is concerned.
And with the nation at war, such a
loss, If permitted to 20 on unchecked.
means serious drain on the ire
mendous quantity Of fuel demanded
Tor the operation OF government mo-
tor transport trains and fighting
agencies Of one kind and another"
IN addition, Mr.. frost points 10 the
great saving in tonnage on our trans
portatiOn system If the fun possibility
OF reducing the national gasoline con-
sumption were taken advantage Of

total amount Of fuel required for
motor car purposes would. Il is esti-
mated. be reduced fully % per cent
This saving would effect a CORE
spending reduction OF tank car move
ment on the railroads and make room
for other classes OF freight
Furthermore. the necessity 70
maintain unimBaired the great mile
age required OF motor cars these DAYS
Tor utility purposes strictly. means
mat cars in such service should not
have their supply OF fuel endangered
by unnecessary cousumDtion among
motor cars in general This country's
transportation system Is more q prob

u is I'D TO everyone 70 do his share
to keep this great means OF railroad
relief in constant and unrestricted
operation"
For these reasons. II for no others.
lr. frost urges that all motorists
look closely to gasoline consumption
per mile. II Is more and more be-
coming the rule TO reFard the Easo-
inc mileage Of the lighter and more
efficient cars ss the standard OF con-
n fact. how much mileage

sumed IS now being Eauged greatly

'SI[VERSPARRE IS
|. OFF To CHICAGO
Lazenby Succeeds Him as
Manager Of the Boss
Rubber COMPANY.

S. Zack Silversparre was q pas
senger, this afternoon. for Chicago
He goes to his old home in the Windy
City to investigate several business
openings that have been offered him
and plans 10 make his future home IN
or near Chicago.
Mr.. SilVersparre resided IN FL Paso
a little over two years and IS one OF
the best known men In the tire bust
ness OF the southwest II was In 1903
that he first became associated with
the Boss Rubber company and at that
time the company conducted small
vulcanizing shop In Denver. Largely
through the enterprise Of Mr.. silver
SPARE, the business grew rapidly and
in 1915, when the El PasO office was
opened, the Ross Rubber company OF
Denver had five stores and It's total
business reached 100000 Z or the
year.
The business Of the FL Paso office
greatly impressed Mr.. Silversparre
and he decided TO sell out his other
interests and take over the Fl Paso
business as a separate concern and
the Boss Rubber company OF Fl Paso
was formed Some idea u the growth
Of the business here may be gagged BY
the fact that the total business in
1917 was In excess OF 100000.
A desire to settle among his rel
atives in Chicago has been grow ing
on Mr.. Silversparre for some time and
he had a chance, recently, to dispose
Of much Of his holdings in the local
company with the result that he IS
now heading for the Windy City.
Fred H. Lazenbyt who has been as
ISOLATED with the Boss Rubber COM
pany recently as secretary and treas
urer. viii also become general man
ager OF the company, In succession to
Mr.. Silversparre. He has just returned
from a trip 10 the Kelly -Sprin gfield
factories at Akron and Buffalo where
he gained a practical knowledge OF
how tires are made He also visited
the larger Springfield distribut-
ors in the eastern field.

opened, has Joined the Boss forces as

HUMAN RIGHTS FIRST.

Baron Burian, in the latest of his series of talks tons now separate the Central Powers and the Al is true that there territorial questions to be settled and the Allies have never yet received as surance that they be settled right while armed auocracy continues to fight.
 It will not be conceded, however that the Allies lightning to gain territory that is not justly theirs. So far territory is concerned their princ- pal aim is to readjust boundaries that the terri tories involved shall be governed by the people who live in them those people desire to be governed.
 The question of Belgium has become territorial question in this The Allies demand that Ger to Germany by reason of the occupation of Belgium except just penalties for the crime mitted when the invasion of Belgium began. Al sace-Lorraine should be taken from the robber that stole Belgium; those included in Austria Hungary who occupy their native territory and de- sire self government in that territory ought to have it and the Italians in Austria should be joined to their mother country Further east the grip of the prosecuting Turk upon his subject races should be looeed and the han dof Germany should be lfed from Poland and Russia.
