Uncle Sam Needs Gasoline.

One-half of the gasoline used in the
United States d,25O,000,0o0 gallons) is
lsed in pleasure riding. 1t is estimat-
ed that the United States army will
leed 35e,000,000 gallons for airplanes,
rucks, automobile tractors and other
machines. There is no way of obtain
ng this in this country except by saw
ng from the existing supply, and this
economy may be procured by volun-
AIRY cutting) down of pleasure riding
for Instance, the man WHO takes his
.amily out on Sunday for a 5O-mile
:ide can cut this in half). 1t has been
estimated that by economical use
enough gasoline can be saved to sup
oly not only the United States but
llso its allies for war purposes.-Sci-.

Monte Jackson, good looking,

army officer. Only one thing does
he keep from her, and that is his in

excitement. The girls throw them
selves into Red Cross work and the
men enlist in. different departments
of the service. Tommy Hill, who is
in love with Betty's kid sister, Dolly,
gives a dinner. During the evening
Tommy rises to his feet and announ-
ces his intention of entering the
'ountry's service. In the excitement
of the momtnt he calls on his guests
to do likewise. Every man in the
com, with the exception of Monte,
responds to the appeal. Even Tom
my's butler comes forward. Monte
oasses the matter off lightly and his
delinquence is forgotten for the
time.
Later, however, his course be-
comes a subject for discussion. Betty
5 cut to the heart on more than one
occasion by bits of sarcasm unin-
tended for her ears, and the matter
is further aggravated when Walter
Mason, one of Colonel Adams aides,
deeply in love with Betty, denounces
Monte as coward to his face. The
encounter takes place in the club
house before a group of members,
and Monte's tame acceptance of the
challenge damns his utterly.
That night his engagement to Bet
ty is formally announced at dinner
in the Adams home. Walter Mason
enters with message for his COM
manding officer, which proves to be
a summons to headquarters. Forced
to leave earlier than he had expected
the older man makes last appeal to
Monte, urging him for Betty's sake
to do his Bit. Driven to the wall,
Monte quite definitely refuses to en-
list. Betty, her faith finally shatter-
ed, returns his ring before them all
and announces her engagement to
Mason.
The next day Monte's partners re-
quest him to withdraw from the firm !;
he is cut by his friends and black
listed at his club. Only his mother is
left. She alone knows Monte's Sc
.et and its cause. Shortly before
his birth she had witnessed murder
and so powerfully had it shocked her
shat she had marked her unborn
child with an unreasoning dread of
violence. How Monte blindly works
out his regeneration, wins back his
friends and his love, furnishes a
;trong an dimpelling theme. Both Mr.
Richman and Miss Nilsson rise to the
demands of their roles and the pic
;ure is gripping presentment of
oung Americas loyalty and patri-
otism.
The picture is directed by James
Kirkwood, for many years associated
with Mary Pickford.
