they set It to return to London. Just as they

END OF CASLESS SUNDAYS

IN THE announcement of the Federal
Fuel Administration which declares the
period of gasless Sundays at an end there
is the direct intimation that the use of
motorcars may be similarly restricted
again. and for an indefinite period, if there
is not a general effort on the part of all
automobile owners to conserve gasoline
throughout the week.
Reports made to the Senate ard statis
tics presented by the Federal Fuel Admin.
istratIon indicate plainly tn I conservation
is necessary to the conduct of the war
Arplanes, motortrucks, oil-burning ships
and the whole elaborate machinery of the
army and navy require gasoline in large
quantities or the oils fro1 which it Is
manufactured. The Government cannot
be blamed if it enforces regulation and re-
striction at home.
The American habit of waste is nowhere
more evident than among those who drive
automobiles. 1t has been calculated that
the vast quantities of gasoline ard oil
saved under the gasless Sunday rule do
not equal the amount of fuel spilled and
otherwise wasted by motor owners From
this on there should be a conscientious
effort TO conserve fuel in small ways. Long
and unnecessary trips in heavy machines
should be eliminated Motors should be
shut off when the machines are not moving.
ReceptaCles should be made alright.
Above all. any one who owns a passenger
| car should he made TO realize that he can
| save money for himself and fuel for the

Little Studies in Words
EXECUTE

USAGE countenances all sorts of misuse
~ of words, wrestling them from their
proper meaning. Execute is offended
against as frequently as any. The mur-
derer is always executed; that Is, II he
happen to be caught, convicted and SEN
fenced to death. But the word execute
does not mean put to death; 1t merely
means to follow out to the end or to give
effect to- y deed is executed when it Is
signed for until the signature is attached
it is not put into effect A law is executed
when its provisions are carried out A
sentence is executed when the person on
whom it is imposed has suffered the pen
atty of the law. SO when murderer is
sentenced to death and he Is legally killed
it is the sentence and not the man which
is executed. But usage has decreed that
we shall say that the man is executed, and
the dictionaries recognize it. There was
time when the word was used to mean
putting man to death Illegally. Shakes
peare, who misuses words as much as any
modern, is guilty of writing of executing
a man.
When one speaks of committing a crime
he is guilty of the same lack of precision
when he speaks of executing a mur-
and the crime is done. If we wish to be
precise; but the man who never begins to
do anything. but always commences it. is
the same man who never says that a
crime is done, but that it is committed, and
never says that a murderer is put to death,
but that he is executed
