"Casless' Sunday
Saved Enough Cash
To Feed Army 2 Days

Treasury statisticians got busy to-
day on the saving resulting from the
gasless Sunday request OF the Fuel
Administration. Here is what they
found:
That on September enough money
was saved to provide General
Pershlng's army with 5000 machine
guns. costing $50 each: they saved
enough food for the American army
in France for two whole days. or
enough to buy 100000 hand grenades
to hurl at the Germans.
These energetic statisticians also
discovered that the saving in rubber
tires of the one days rest was suf-
ficient to equip $500 motor trucks for
the American army with tires cap
able OF running 1000 miles.

TO GIVE EVIDENCE
AGAINST PACKERS

The Federal Trade Commission soon
will place in the hands OF President
Wilson evidence to support its charges
that the meat packing industry Is
monopolized by five big Chicago con-
Germs, it was learned today.
The evidence will be in the form
Of a formal report. and is the second
