SUNDAY JOY RIDING
 ENDS BY REQUEST
Conservation of Gasoline Object Of
 Fuel Administration

Washington, Aug. 28.-As the first step in what may prove a drastic pro- gram to conserve gasoline, the Fuel Administration last night calls upon all persons living east of the Mississ- ippi to forego the use of pleasure au- tomObilcs, motorcycles and motor boats on Sundays until further mo- tiCC. The only vehicles exempted are those the use of which is absolutely necessary. Economy of gasoline gen. orally also is urged
 The request" of the Fuel Admin istra ton which, it was broadly hinted will turn into an order unless owners of cars and other gasoline driven con- veNances comply voluntarily, came as a surprise. It has been understood that there was an ample supply of gasoline, but in connection with the announcement of the conservation program, Mark l.. ReQua, director of the oil division. made it clear that the situation demands compliance to the letter with the request.
 "In view of the difficulty, if not the impossibility of differentiating be- tween the various uses to which auto mobiles are applied" the announce ment says, the fuel administration
 
 economy can be effected with the least interference with the business of the country through the discontinu- ancc of the use of all classes of mo- tor vehicles, motorboats and motor cycles on Sundays
 "The fuel administration therefore requests that in the section of the United States east of the Mississippi river there shall be a discontinuanCe of use of the vehicles above specified, including all such as arc operated for hire, on each Sunday hereafter until notification that the need for such discontinuance has ceased.
 The following exceptions are made:
 "1. Tractors and motor trucks en- ployed in actual transportation of freight.
 -. Vehicles of physicians used in performance of professional duties. g. Ambulances, fire apparatus, po- lice patrol wa gons, undertakers wag Ons and cOnVeyanCeS used for funer- alS.
 4. Railway equipment using gaso- line.
 "5. Repair outfits employed by tel cphOne and public service companies.
 e. Motor vehicles on orrands of necessity m rural cONl1lh'llteS NAete transportation by steam or electricity is not aVailabo.'
 The announcement suggests the elimination of chaufteurs SO far as possible, a further step iowa rd con servati0n. and concludes with this in timation of what may be expected if the wishes of the administration are not computed with:
 The fuel administration believes that all consumers of gasoline will ob- serve the spirit of this request. In that event, no mandatory order gov crning the use of gasoline will be UccCSsarS."

NEWSBOYS COME TO
 AID OF CO-WORKER
Committee Receives Contributions to Fit "Snuffy" With New Shoes
 and Stockings.

Occasional incidents of newsbov life in New Britain come to the no- tice of the public, but the little mcr- chants of the news seldom seek publicity for their acts. Today The Herald newsboys performed q, serv- ice deserving of notice. It is illus trative of one of the good sides of gang" life.
 One of the boys was in a plight. His parents could not afford to buy him shoes and as school will reopen on next Tuesday the boy, who may as well be called "Snuffy'' as well as any other name, would either have to go barefoot or remain at home. The prospect of not going to school was not dsagreeable, but the vision of the reform school was. The news boys got together and "chipped" In q 'jitney" each and soon there was sufficient to dress "Snuffy' in style The committee then waited on Ad- Vertising Manager Smith at The Herald office. The spokesman ap- preached Manager Smith and ex- plained the purpose of the visit.
 'Snuffy' aint got no shoes and his mother cant buy none, so we cashed
 
 rig him out. Get him q good pair of kicks and anything else he needs as far as the money goes said the leader.
 Manager Smith chcerfully assumed the trading mission. In a short time "Snuffy" appeared with new shoes, stockings and other things. The com mitte gave it's stamp of approval on the purchases.
 Gee, you'n look like a swell guy said one and "Snuffy' said. "Yaw. l say fcllcrs. you're fine. Tanks" Then he rushed home
 They are a happy lot, those boys on The Herald selling staff. Every evening while waiting for the daily issue they make the Herald building echo with their singing of popular war songs.
 Occasionally they "break out and make things hum on Church street much to the annoyance of Patrolman Frank English and other policemen.
 Thoye are a patriotic crowd Almost every newsbOY regularly handling The Herald. is the owner of Thrift Stamps purchased through their earnings. One or two are Liberty Bond holders and when the next issue is ready more of them will be added to the roll

WAR CALLING BACK
 OLD RIVER STEAMER
Ships That Mark Twain Knew Are
 Forced Into Service

St. Louis, Mo-, Aug. 2S.-Steam m boats that during the days of Mark. Twaln and since have piled the Mississippi, performing perfunctOry duties not at all commensurate with the rivers pos abilities, are to be put to work to help win the war and will be augmented by boats of modern type; by barges and toWboats powerfully propelled and modernly equipped, caable of greatly relieving the heavy transportation bur denS of the railroads.
 A fleet of freight carrying boats run mining between New Orleans and St. Louis and on up the river as neces- sity demands, has been designed and the federal government has backed the project with millions of dollars. The Mississippi Valley Waterways associa- ton, representing varied interests throughout the valley is exercising general supervision of the project.
 Revival of river traffic on 8 large scale was suggested months ago when fl tight congestion on the railroads be- came acute. Business men began to wonder why the broad cxpanse of the Mississippi could not be used to trans port their freight eXpeditiously and the idea took form in an application to the government for financial assist anCe to build and maintain a river fleet. The government appropriated 5000, 900 to be expended between St. Louis and New Orleans and $3,600 00O to he used on the upper Mississippi l between St Louis and Minneapolis These amounts, it is explained. are considered merely expressions of good will and if the project gives promise i of being successful as many millions as may be needed will be forthcoming After the general scheme had been worked out by the business interests l in various river cities co-operating with government officials. M. T. San ders of New Orleans was appointed federal manager. For years he has been identified with gulf shipping 1 Working with him are A, W. Mackie regional manager, and Theodore

Take It Away, It's Wearing on
 Green, COnIOn Ordered
FEW MOUTHFULS ON SLY
Tono Devivi Assessed S1O and Costs for Assault, But Sentence Is Sus- on Honor POII.

A breach of the peace case was aired in the town court this morn ing. Tony Devivi was charged with assault on John ConIon. Both are residents of Blue Hills. Conlon claimed that it is a habit of Tony to let his cow graze on the lawn in front of COnlon's house and, as he has had trouble with Tony before, he does not wish to have him around the prem ises. Tony took the stand and said that he was taking his COW to the brook for water and on the way back the COW simply grabbed mouthful of fine grass, as he called it. ConlOn's son, Michael, appeared on the scene and ordered DeViVo to move and by means of hand Clapping and stamp ing scared the COW so that it ran away. Devivo became angry. as he was in his hare feet at the time and in the struggle with the animal got his feet cut on the rocks, and called the two COnlOns names and threw rocks at them. It was then that the A trouble started. Tony not wishing to be called a coward resented the at S tack and the matter came to blows. W. H. Gihney said man as old as John ConlOn, who is past 70 years of age, and who has resided in Berlin as long as COnlon has should not be | tea sed by young ruffian, and thought that the accused should he Punished in some way. Judge Gris- wold imposed a fine of $10 on bevivi but suspended the sentence.
 New Honor Roll Needed.
 It is necessary that the honor roll in Berlin he fixed. The board is now x completely filled with the names of the boys in the service of their coun try. For the past few months no \ additions have been made and as there are almost a dozen who have left the town enlisted and drafted, their names do not appear on the list. The roll as it stands is a credit to the people of Berlin and as the tourists \ roll by they comment on the number Df names for such a small town. The reason that the latest names have not appeared on the board is because there is no more room.
