stable ball, was saying very little and
doing a great deal of listening.

you hear are too foolish on the face
OF 'em to be believed-like the one
about the ten dollar bill being sewed

SAVING FUEL
(By Charles Hanson Towne Of Thu
Vigilantes.)

Out in the Middle West, in many
ways they are doing more to help win
the war than the people in the East.
For instance, what is so necessary
as the conservation of fuel? In west
ern city, the authorities have adopted
the very sane and workable plan Of
stopping the electric surface cars
only at every other block to take OF
or let off passengers. Of course, every
one knows that it costs money y
stop and start a trolley car; and II
the starting and stopping can be cut
in half, think what amount of money
is saved.
in order that passengers NAV not
be confused, the city has posted nc
tees that downtown cars will stop
only at every other odd street ana
uptown cars only at every otheF eNea
street.
What a simple, feasible plan it Is.
Why do not the eastern cities-aha
the cities all over the country take
it up?
Write to your mayor and see Wnal

Rumania Now A DeSolate And
Barren Country Account of War
(By Associated Press.)

London. June 26.-Rumania is a
desolate and barren country today
an awful object lesson of the cost of
war. Two years ago it was one of the
garden countries of the world, tenn
ing with agricultural wealth and
prosperity More than 100000 Rus
sian soldiers lived in it and on it for
nearly year, and they left very lit
tie behind them.
Anyone who has known Rumania as
she was when peace was forced upon
her by the Central Powers, must be
convinced that it will be years before
Germany can draw from her fields
and orchards any very valuable
tribute.
Nor is the German control of Ru-
mania's petroleum production likely
to be a very profitable investment for
some time. In the so-called "occu-
pied territories" the destruction of the
oil fields was so complete that Ger
many after fifteen months of effort, is
able to measure her supplies from this
source in quarts.
In the rest of Rumania, it is doubt
full if production can be much in
creased beyond that of the past year,
and during the past year petroleum
has been one of the scarcest articles
II. the country, obtainable only under
personal and special license from the
government.
During the middle of the winter,
the Associated Press correspondent
made tour of inspection around per-
Maps a score of the frontier towns
where the largest proportion of refu-
gee population had been dumped in
the hurried retreat before the Ger
man hosts. Conditions were serious
beyond description, but the major part
Of the suffering was due to famine
rather than exposure.
The shortage of food was such that
in many instances refugees were seen
In the fields eating-or attempting to
eat-grass.
Terrible as was the plight of the
people OF these refugee districts in
war time, they can hope for little al
deviation with the coming Of a forced
peace. Practically no harvests can
be expected this year in these dis,
tricts, for no seed will be available,
and moreover there are no agricul-
tural implements left, nor any horses
or draft animals of any kind. Thou
sands of Rumanian horses died of
starvation during the winter, for the
peasants were too exhausted in car
Ing for their own needs to make any
attempt to provide for their beasts.
In France the horses would have
been put to good use as meat for HUI
man food, but the Rumanian peasant
has an adherence of horse flesh as
meat.
