MUST STOP GAS
WASTE At ONCE
Rationing Will Follow If Auto
lists Fail To Conserve Fluid
Voluntarily
FUEL WARNING OUT

Following last Saturdays general
call and general observance of the
governments request for voluntary
conservation of gasoline, announce
ment has just been made that waste
full methods in the handling and use
of gasoline must be stopped. and stop
ped promptly.
Otherwise the government will be
compelled to step in and control the
distribution and the uses made of gas
oline, which will probably mean that
automobiles used largely for purposes
of recreation will get little or perhaps
none at all, and other users of gas will
find their supplies largely curtailed.
This is the word that comes from
Washington from c. c. winningham,
chief of the gasoline section of the Ma
tional Fuel Administration. He makes
it perfectly plain that wasteful usage
of gasoline, and in fact of all petro-
leum products such as coal oil, fuel
oil and the like, must be stopped. But
his chief concern is in the saving of
gasoline. and it is to the automobilist
(iiAChy iudl HC uiICCtC uic Wdtull1Es
There is no desire, he states, TO put
the country on a fuel ration, but the
general observance on the part of
motorists of the most economical
methods of using gasoline is the only
thing that will avert the necessity of
more drastic control.
One thing is absolutely certain, and
Mr.. Winningham makes this perfectly
plain. 1t is that if sufficient gasoline
and oil cannot be saved from what is
now wasted, then such mandatory con-
troll as will assure the quantities
needed for war purposes will be
inevitable.
Therefore, when motorist allows
his engine to run when the car is not
in motion, when tanks are filled to
overfiowing, when gasoline is allow
ed to be spilled or allowed to leak,
when carburetors are using a rich
instead of lean mixture. and when
man jumps in his car to go somewhere
he could perfectly well go on a street
car, gasoline is being wasted And it
il this sort of thing that is to be stop
ped. When car speeds by with
trail Of smoke coming from it's ex-
haust. 1t is wasting gas. The carbure-
tor needs adjusting. and if the person
who is driving does not notice it. his
attention should be called to the fact
that he is wasting gasoline And not
only is he throwing away something
the government needs. but he is vast
ing money and is filling his engine
with carbon, which costs money to
have removed.
The gasolineless Sunday helped
some in the conservation of gasoline,
but a great deal was wasted on Mon
day, and great deal was wasted in
unnecessary riding on Saturday
What the net saving was, no one can
tell, although the official estimate for
% States. compiled at the request Of
the Fuel Administration by A. C. Bed
ford, chairman of the National PETROL
cum War Service Committee, showed
that in the States affected by the or
der, from 100000 to 10000 barrels
were saved. In Maryland it was es-
timated that saving of S4 per cent
was effected.

A PHYSICAL RESERVE
TO Be ORGANIZED
IN CITY OF AUGUSTA

Augusta is to have a Physical Re-
serve.
On the face OF it. that sounds a
bit mysterious, but there is no nys-
terry about the new enterprise nor Is
there any expense. At the same time,
the Physical Reserve is going to
prove one Of the biggest things for
benefting the male portion OF Angus
IA that has been devised for some
time.
TO get right down to hard pan. the
Physical Reserve is designed to better
the physical condition Of the men OF
a particular community. The prop
osition has been advanced by the
National Security League. OF which
Hon. Elihu Root is honorary prest-
dent and Of which S. Stanwood Men
ken is active president. The league
has asked the mayors OF all cities In
the country to appoint Physical Re-
serve committees. Mayor Willis E.
Swift has, for Augusta, selected
Frank B. Condor. general secretary
of the Y. NJ G.. L. NJ. Hart. private
secretary to Governor Nilliken, and
G. A. Ellinwood, one of the clty's
leading merchants. to be on this COM
mittee.
The first meeting will be held at
the Y. NJ. c. A. rooms at $50 next
Wednesday evening. Every man in
Augusta who can attend, whether he
is is or so years old. is invited to be
present.
The basis OF the work of the physical
reserve committee will be TO improve
the physical condition Of the men at
home SO many men have been rejected
for service in the various active BRANCH
e. OF the government because Of phys
zeal defects that the National Security
League has come TO the conclusion that
something must be done. not only for
those men who have been rejected but
also to improve the physica! efficiency
of those who must bear increased bur
dens because of the absence of SO many
younger men.
Walter Camp, father Of football and
one of the world leading and most in
fuential opponents Of athletics, has de-
vised a system Of "settlng-u up" eXer-
cises that are to form portion of the
work of the physical reserve commit
tee. These exercises may be performed
at home without apparatus Pamphlets
describing them have been received and
these will be on hand at the meeting
next Wednesday evening.
The physical reserve committee in
Augusta, however. is going farther than
just to build up the bodies of the men.
II has already created a club to be
known as the outdoor Club. In addition
to the physical exercises to be taken,
this club will make trips into the coun.
try-regular hikes for nature study.
Thomas A. James, curator Of the Maine
State museum. will be the guide on
these expeditions and will give informal
talks on the birds and animals to be met
with in the woods and fields about Au.
gusta.
At the meeting next Wednesday eve
ming the full details of the plan are to
be given. Because of the little time
required, the great benefit 70 be deriv.
ed and the genuine enjoyme that is
sure to to result, it seems now as if the
assembly room at the Y. NJ. c. A will
be tlled with an interested gathering OF
those DESTROYS of becoming members of
the ccuntry's great physical reserve.
