 DRIVERS WANT
 HIGHER WAGES

 BEEN FINISHED

WASHINGTON. D. C., May H. The United States shipping board this morning announced that ships aggregating over one million tons have been delivered to the govern ment. Up to May 1 there had been 159 vessels. with a total capacity of 1,10S,621 tons, launched. These ships are all in active service and each day are helping to defeat the Ger man submarine policy.

 Since January l, 1918. over one half of the total tonnage has been delivered. Each month shows a steady increase in the amount of tonnage turned out by the yards. It is thought that the next five months will far exec ed the first five months of the year in total tonnage delivered to the government for use on the high seas. There is practi- cally no trouble being experienced now in getting enough material and labor to keep the shipyards running at top speed. During the week end ing May Il eight steel ships were completed and launched with a total tonnage of 48,000.

 He laughed at conventions, and in variably printed in the Herald the worst things his enemies said about him. When Jay Gould gave to the press letter of 10000 words attack ing Bennett's personal life, the editor of the Herald turned about and pub lished it in fuh with the curt re- mark that Mir Gould was gentle man." When John Kelley, leader of Tammany Hall. publicly assailed MT. Bennett character, he retorted: The proprietor of the Herald lczl his rep utation long before Mr. Kelley was ever heard of." He swung his news paper from one side to another in public questions with startling abrupt ness.
 He was assailed for many years for the personal" advertisements which were once an unrestrained feature of his paper. In 1907 he bowed to the law with a payment of fine of s25,0o0. when the court characterized the Herald personals as "a public stencil"
 In his innumerable promotions. all bearing upon the promotion of his newspaper, MT. Bennett figured as a notable patron of sport. He intro duced polo into America; revived coaching ih France; organized inter- national automobile and aeronauticas races. and built and sailed numerous yachts.

0VERMAN BILL
 IS NOW READY
 FOR SIGNATURE

WASHINGTON, D. C.. May 14.- In the passage of the Overman bill through the house today long and bitter fight has been ended. The measure, which was sent tC the en- ate last week, is now ready to go to the President for his signature.
 The bill as introduced by Senator Overman of North Carolina was for the purpose of giving the President the power to reorganize any or all government departments that are connected with the waging of war against Germany. The bill was pass ed in it's original form, no amend ments being made in either the house or senate.
 This bill was introduced by Sena- tor Overman to take the place of the measure introduced by Senator Chamberlain for the organization of war cabinet. Senator Chamber lain's measure failed to pass in eith- CT the senate or house. Quite a bit of opposition was offered in the sen- ate upon the introduction of Senator Overman's bill, but as it was known to have the full support of the ad. ministration. the bill was finally passed. It will become effective i'm mediately upon being signed by the President.

NEW YORK. May 14.-Ip a state ment made today. Lord Reading, the British high commissioner to the United States. warns the American public against any false optimism regarding the great battle now rag ing in Flanders.
 Lord Reading. who succeeded Sir Cecil Spring-Rice as British Ambas sador to the United States. says the American people are inclined to be too optimistic regarding the big Of fensive that the German forces are now carrying on along the western front. He says that we should re- member that the crisis is not passed until a nnal victory is won. That every effort of the American people should be toward the support of

While there is no doubt of an ulti. mate victory of the allied armies on the western front, the American peo- pie should in no way become so optimistic as to lag in their duties toward their country. It is only by the concerted effort of each individ. ual that the victory for democracy will be wrested from the German forces"

EXEMPTION CLAUSE WAIVED
 BY BOTH HUSBAND AND WIFE

In these days of claiming exemp- tion from military duty by the mar. ried men it is seldom that an objec- tion is registered as to the classifi- cation. This was recently done by registrant who formerly lived in Fair banks but is now living at Brooks. He objected to being put in the proper class and insisted on being put in Class Al. The waiving of exemption was also signed by his wife, who shows the patriotic spirit in insisting that her husband go to the front.

STANDARD OIL COMPANY GIVES
SUGGESTIONS FOR SAVING GAS

The Sacramento office of the Stand
ard Oil Company has recently re
ceived a list of suggestions on meth.
DDS to save more gasoline. These
suggestions are recommended by tho
National Automobile Chamber Of Com.
merce and endorsed by the California
State Automobile Association. Tho
rules not only save more gas. but
users of motor vehicles will be bene-
fitted personally and individually
through more efficient and more eco
nomical operation Of cars. Here arc
the rules:
Store gasoline in underground steel
tanks. Use measuring pump and
hose. They prevent loss by fire.
evaporation and spilling.
Don't spill or expose gasoline to
ART ev~aporates rapidly and is dan
gerous. Don't use gasoline for clean
ing and washing-use kerosene or
other materials to cut grease.
Stop all gasoline leakage. Form
habit of shutting off gas at tank or
feed pipe. Adjust brake bands so
they do not drag. See that all bear
ings run freely.
Don't let the engine run when al
is standing. It is good for starter
battery to be used frequently. Have
c%arburetors adjusted at service sta
tons. Keep needle valve clean and
adjust carburetor while engine is
hot) to use as lean a mixture as pos
sible. A rich mixture fouls the en-
CINE and is wasteful.
Pre-heat air entering c%arburetor
and keep radiator covered in cold
weather-this will insure better
yaporization. See that spark is timed
correctly with engine and drive with
spark fully advanced; a late spark
increases gas consumption.
Have a hot spark, keep plugs clean
and spark points properly adjusted.
Avoid high speed. The average car is
most economical at Is to p miles an
hour. Don't accelerate and stop
quickly-it wastes gas and wears out
tires. Stop engine and coast long
hills.
Cut down aimless and needless use
of cars. DO a number of errands in
one trip. Know your mileage per gal
Ion. Fill tank full and divide odome-
ter mileage by gallons consumed.

vorwaerts tells an interesting story Of
the Naumberg Jaeger Battalion. which
was sent to Berlin for the express pur-
pose OF suppressing the revolution. What
IL did was to send representatives to the
Socialist party executive and to the VoE-
waerts office to announce that It placed
itself at the disposal of the new au-
thorities.
There Is irony, says Vorwaerts. in the
fact that the Jaeger Battalion and the
Alexander Regiment, two of the first
regiments TO support the movement ir
Berlin, are now quartered in large bar
racks facing the Royal Palace. Kaiser
Wilhelm. when the barracks were com
pleted, delivered famous speech to the
Alexander Regiment, in which he said
Like strong fortress. your barracks
