OUR HOLIDAY BUYING.
National Council of Defense Urges Early
Purchases.

The national council of defense en-
phasizes certain important matters in re-
gard to Christmas buying.
Tar Buy useful gifts-In order to be
useful" in the only sense which is
proper in war time, an article must be
not only useful in itself but must be
immediately useful to the particular
person who gets it. This presumes
considerable degree of intimacy between
persons exchanging gifts, and, if carried
out, will eliminate all forms of promis
euous giving. Note that. in calling for
the purchase of useful gifts, the national
] council has specifically excepted toys.
(bl Buy early-The public should
understand that merchants have agreed
that they will not increase the number
1 of their employees nor increase the
hours of labor in view of Christmas
trade. Unless Christmas shopping is
spread ont over the months of October
and November and December an intol-
cradle situation viii be created. Keep
the extraordinary reason for early shop
ping which exists this year constantly
before the public. Late shopping is a
distinctly unpatriotic act.
(cD Send ly-TransportatiOn ia
cilities are already overburdened with
essential war business. Christmas pack
ages must not be allowed to congest the
transportation facilities during the late
fall.

WORKING ON ZONE PLAN.
Fuel Administration Officials Hope to
Eas Solve Gasoline Problem.


WASHINGTON, Oct. l2.-The latest
plan evolved by the fuel administration
to solve the problem Of gasoline conser-
walton, which has patiently taxed its in
genuity, is the coming system, it was
learned here last night. SO far as study
of the plan has gone, the. experts believe
system of voluntary conservation by
each locality will produce the results de-
sired This will distribute the burden
and surely build up a shortage proof re-
serve.
The system now being worked out en-
braces program of dividing the country
into districts. Then. as the necessary
zone was decided upon from time to
time each zone-for example, New Eng
land -would be assigned an allotment OF
saving to be accomplished within a stat.
ed time When the number of barrels
required of a zone was saved by the
motorists living in it, the restrictions OF
the voluntary pledges would be lifted
Thus, the sooner the zone conserved th'
Required amount. the sooner its users Of
gasoline would be released from thei
self denial.
