In Washington alone many thou
eands of gallons OF gasolene will be
saved by compliance with the request.
Out of this city every Sunday go hun
dreds Of machines carrying parties
pleasure bent to river and bay points
for fishing and boating; to the hill
and mountain regions of Virginia and
Maryland; TO Baltimore and other
points merely for the ride. In Rock
Creek Park alone Ii is estimated that
a count Of machines traversing the
beautiful roads there each Sunday
would show four or five thousand,
and to these must be added other
thousands operating in Potomac PARK
along the Conduit road to river points
above Washington, going to and from
army camps, and elsewhere.
Taxicabs and motor machines for
hire are included in the inhibition.
On Chesapeake bay and the Poto-

ermen who spend Sundays at river
and bay points pay thousands OF dol

Restrict Pleasure Cars.
The tendency in all governmental
agencies is toward restricting the use
of pleasure cars. The war industries
board has given orders that the out
put of pleasure cars from now until
the end of the year shall be cut fully
SO per cent below production so Tar
this year, and no promises are held
out that the manufacture OF these
cars will be allowed next year. II
they are the output will be so smal
as not to come anywhere near supply
ing the demand.
The employment service of the De-
partment Of Labor, through the as
eistant director, has served notice
tha, it regards chauffeurs of pleasure
cars as engaged in non-essential
work, and the policy from now on
will be toward diverting these men
into fields of war industry or putting
them into the army under the work or
fight orders of the War Department
The draft boards intend to look into
this question somewhat fully, IL Is
stated today, and community laoor
boards all over the country viii get In
touch with chauffeurs to determine
their usefulness or non-usefuiness as
helpful war factors.
The local community labor board
has already found a number Of cases
Of men engaged as drivers OF pleas
ure cars who are skilled mechanics
IN occupations for which the Gov
ernment is striving each day to OBJ
tain more workers.
Up to this time nothing more than
appeals to employers Of drivers Is be-
ing made, but the Department OF La
b5r gives the strong intimation that
the services Of this class OF men
must be changed to war industry ac-
tivities pretty soon.

Judging by present conditions the

IDENTIFY far from the minds of these
officers"
Mrs. Clax.on also criticised the
middlemen who buy milk from far
mers and peddle it in Washington at
extremely high prices.
'If any relief Is to be obtained for
poor babies, steps should be taken TO
eliminate the middleman milk dealer
in Washington" said Mrs. Claxton.
zone dairyman told me recently
that the price of feed was so hlgn
that he was forced to reduce his herd
and to put a higher price on the mill;
he sold. 1t seems a shame that such
conditions should be allowed to exist
in the National Capital"
Expert Gives Views.
Miss Estelle Wheeler. superintend-
ent OF infant welfare work of the
Washington Diet Kitchen. said:
Until a thorough investigation OF
the milk producing and distributing
question in Washington has been
made, we cannot fairly say today that
the price OF milk in Washington is
too high. The milk dealers here say
that their expenses have scared be-
yond all normal levels, and that the
only thing for them to do is to charge
more for milk II they are to remain
in business. . We have no facts with
which to refute the statements OF the
dealers. and we must accept their
statements until we have all the facts.
while we are getting the facts.
we should not allow the babies of
Washington to be deprived of milk.
II may be possible that the District
Food Administration can take over
the distribution Of milk here or. at
least, supervise the distribution. Ev-
cry home in which there is a child
could be supplied with enough milk
fer that child. / am in close touch
with the situation, and l favor the
distribution OF milk under the direc-
tion OF the District Food Administra-
tor. l think this would be the ideal
way in which TO save our children un-
til the milk problem here is solved.
Labor Question Vital
"The crux OF the high cost OF milk
seems to be in the labor question.
The milk producers and distributors
say that their chief item Of added ex-
pense is in the increased cost of labor.
Thus. IL the labor problem can be
solved. we can touch the high cost of
milk problem. but how the labor
question is to be settled is more than
can guess.
An investigation OF the milk situa-
tiOn here has been made recently by
the Food Administration. ] would like
to see the facts that they found made
public SO that all OF us may know
what is really before us. ! would like
TO see the men who Investigated the
milk situation make public a definite
report OF their findings as soon as
possible. We ought TO know the facts,
no matter how alarming they may be.
IF the cost OF milk to the consum-
er is unreasonably high l think we
ought to wade right into the fight and
reduce the price OF milk. ! do not
think We should do anything that
would give US cheaper milk at the
cost OF getting dirty milk. We must
have clean milk At any cost. because
dirty milk is much more expensive to
any community than clean milk at
highest prices.

The War department or dered his casket wrapped in the folds of the Stars and Stripes, and appoint ed a military escort to accompany the remains to Prescott, in the person of Corporal Perry H. Machin, a mem Der Of his company, who enlisted from North Little Rock, and he says that Leonard, as he was famialiarlv called in Camp, had the respect. con fidence and love of all the company officers and privates. About three o'clock before his death, he realized his condition, and told those present that he was prepared. He had an swered the call of his country. He was ready for the summons of his Maker. His greatest regret was. that he could not get to the front in France That the ruling passion is strong in death was verified in his case. for his last spoken words were, as if on drill, Shoulder Arms" "Forward March, and other similar military orders.
 He had been selected and commiss toned for the most dangerous work connected with the great war, that of delivering ammunition to the sol diers in the trenches. In performing this task, he would have had to drive through barrages of gas and leaden shells, face machine gun fire from the air as well as from mask batteries in front with no protection or shield to him whatever The fact that he was not at he front was no fault of his; he is entitled to just as much credit and honor as if he had met death on the firing line. Just before his death, he received his overseas uniform, in which he was buried. and

 1t IS not for us to understand the providence that took him in his young manhood. Some day we can know why. Heaven gives it's favorites an early death"
 The hearts of those to whom he was dearest, cry out for "The touch of vanished hand, and the sound of voice that is still" Nature will as- sert itself when those whom we love are taken from us; but in that very love IS the hope and promise of i'm mortality.
