have to see it through. Thecon-
test would have to be fought to a
finish either over there or over
here-and none of US wanted it
here. The place to finish it was
where it started. The best way
to protect our homes here was by
crossing the ocean and prevent
ing the enemy from coming here
and invading our country. With
this object in view, these two
boys, with hundreds of thous-
ands of other boys, have set at
naught good salaries, home COM
forts, and the blessings of peace,
and have taken up the burdens
of war, that the lives, homes and
future happiness of our people
shall not be molested by a for
eign enemy; and that tn he Stars
and Stripes which for more than
a hundred years, have so proud
ly floated over this land of the
free and homes of the brave,
shall eventually float over a
WORLD OF THE FREE AND
HOMES OF THE BRAVE.

NO SHORTAGE OF GASOLINE.
There will be Plenty Of "Gas" For
Both Business and Those On
Pleasure Bent.

Washington, d. c., June 20. -
1t is asserted here upon the au-
thority of DR.. Garfield, Federal
Fuel administrator, that there
will be no gasoline shortage dur
ing the period of the war and
that the use of pleasure automo-
biles, industrial motors, motor
boats and farm machinery hav-
ing combustion engines will not
be curtailed on account of gov
ernment embargoes against gaso-
line consumption.
This assurance is based upon
the fact that the output of gsso-
line will not be as large as at
present, but that in all likelihood
it will be steadily increased as
the war proceeds. This does not
mean, however, that the price of
gasoline will remain stable or
will be reduced. The chances
are that it will be slight
ly increased, but this increase
will not become prohibitiye.
The explanation of the matter
is this: Gasoline is a by-product,
pure and simple. tits not raw"
in the sense that it is pumped
straight from the ground. 1t is
the substances extracted from
fuel oil in the process of refine
ment and it must be extracted
from fuel oil before the latter is
available for use.
The wars demand for fuel oil
has increased enormously within
the past few months and will
continue to increase as more and
more oil-burning merchant and
naval ships are put in commission.
This oil, therefore, simply must
be produced, and every time
there is an increase of say, 4
million gallons a month in fuel
oil, there is a corresponding in
crease in the supply of gasoline.
Obviously this gasoline cannot be
permitted to go to waste. 1t isas
imperatively demanded in one di-
rection as fuel oil is in another.
Moreover, it is further explained
that it is impossible to store any
great quantity of gasoline. There
are not the facilities for such stor-
age. This means that it must be
piped away from the refineries
almost as fast as it is produced,
and must be put upon the market
Immediately.

While home tospend Christmas,

the fact that he was making a
