FOOD ADMINISTRATION
Is TO BE CONTINUED

That the United States Food Admin
istration is not to be Abandoned or to
be absorbed by the Department OF
rs a separate arm OF the government
until the day .nat peace is finally and
definitely declared by the President
Is the statement given out by the
Food Administration.
The Food Administration will then
automatically dissolve EXCEPT AS
TO OBLIGATIONS ENTERED UPON,
and these must and will be discharged
either by continuing the Food Ad
ministration or by assigning them to
other departments of the government
In the meantime the Food Administra-
ton does not intend to relax its eff
forts in any direction" the statement
reads.
1T is believed at Washington that
at least six months will elapse before
the pace treaty is signed During
this time the Food Administration will
use its fullest influence to check any
tendency on the part of the people to
relax their food saving" stated Rob-
ert j. Grant. executive manager OF
the Food Administration for Colorado
Food must lie saved in greater
quantity and variety than ever be
lore. Peace has not lightened but ad
ded to our obligations. 1t is estimated
that since the arnistice s0,000.00O
additional people are now partially
dependent upon the United States for
food.
Europe is nearly bare of meat and
fats. In these foods our greatest saw
ing and exporting must be made. |
expect to see meatless days in the
United States again this winter w.
have barely enough meat and fats fo'
our own use. yet we must ship min
lmum of 100000 tons abroad Some
such stringent regulation will prob
ably be necessary"

He didn't pump it full enough-tho
all the air is free;
He left it soft and spungy like, and
scooted on with g1ee;
He skidded, he gridded and whoop-
ed thru dust and mire,
And when it burst
He cursed and cursed
And blamed 1t on the tire.
He drove it on the street car tracks
with confidence superb;
He scraped It on the lamp posts and
he scraped 1t on the curb;
He slammed 1t and he jammed 1t any
way he might desire,
And when 1t popped
Right out he hoped
And blamed 1t on the tire.
He cut 1t on some broken glass and
said that didn't hurt;
He kept right on thru sand and mud
and filled the cut with dirt.

1t spotted there and rotted there, and
soon he howled in ire.
When up 1t blew,
He blew up, too
And blamed it on the tire.
He put on chains that ground and
chewed and gouged into the tread;
He knew his wheels were out of line.
"but what of that?" he said.
He whizzed along and sized along.
he picked up nails and wire.
And when 1t banged,
His fist he whanged-
And blamed it on the tire.
Who is this man? Go ask the boys
who meet him every day.
Go ask the boys who have to hear the
things he has to say.
He bores N and he roars in with
words of angry fire.
Though he's to blame
It's all the same
He blames 1t on the tire

ated by the Lenine government, now
in control at Moscow.
The situation is anamolous and
without precedent, but the condi-

PLAN GASOLINELESS
DAYS TO SAVE FUEL
Government Also Likely to Reg
ulate Field Wastage of Pc
trOleun,


Washington, June l5.--An
important announcement is ex-
pected in a few days from the
fuel administration regarding
conservation of oil and its prod
ucts. needed IN war operations
similar to the program announc-
ed on coal. Particular attention
is to be paid to field wastage'
which has been running high in
some of the producing sections
due. it is believed, to careless
ness.
Oil men said that an order pre-
venting the operation OF pleas
ure automobiles one day a week
for a given period might be look
ed for as means OF saving gas
oline.
There is no shortage in gaso-
line, but a reduction in consump-
ton would allow 4 greater sup
ply OF crude oil for fuel and 9th
er purposes. There are approx
imately 100000 pleasure cars in
the United States, and it is tig-
ured that several million gallons
of gasoline could be saved
monthly.
