HOW MOTORISTS
SAVE GASOLINE
Each Car Owner Saves Some Of the
Fluid, but the Number of Auto
mobiles in Use Will Not
Lessen.

Eyes there will be lessened con-
sumption of gasoline this summer as
compared with couple of years ago
by motorists" said Frank Anderson
today, mot by decreased number
of automobiles in commission, but
by each car using less gasoline per
month.
Il do not believe that any cars now
in use are going into dead storage
on account of the higher price of
gasoline, or that any new owner is
going to delay buying the new car
on account of the price of the gas
oline But the experienced motorists
are learning how to get just about as
much use out of the car with a much
less consumption of gasoline. They
make one trip do where they used
to take two trips for some purpose.
They attend to the throttle on the
hills with more care. They do not
take quite so long joy rides on Sun
days.
In this way the supply of gasoline
is being conserved In this vicinity
and keokuk people are about like
those of other cities and states who
drive automobiles"
Gasoline took another rise recent
ly, and Mr.. Anderson believes it will
continue to rise gradually and slow
ly within the next year.

OIL SHORTAGE
IN THE WEST
Production Likely to Decline Rather
Than Remain Stationary, is
Warning by Standard
Official.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
SAN FRANCISCO, April 25.-Fuel
oil consumers on the Pacific coast are
facing a total estimated shortage of
$4,000 barrels CT oil a day within the
next year, Vice President X. r. KINGS
bury. of the Standard Oil company Of
California, told the United Press TO-
Gay
This statement was borne out by
Prof. d. NJ. Folsom. federal fuel oil
administrator for California.
The oil shortage may seriously
hamper the production of news print
paper in the Pacific northwest. they
said, and practically every industry
listed in the federal fuel administra-
tons priority list as non.essential may
have to run On curtailed supplies.
The problem" said Prof. Folsom.
lis one of increased consumption, sta
tionary production. and curtailed dis
tributing facilities"
Government communicating of oil
tankers has seriously hammered dis
tribution of Pacific coast oil supplies,
he said.
Production IS far more likely to
decline than remain stationary" said
Kingsbury "The amount Of oil con-
sumed is more likely to increase.
Within twelve months all oil stocks
above ground will be exhausted and
there will be a shortage Of approXt-
mately 10000 barrels day
PAPER manufacturers, however. were
not greatly perturbed over the oil
shortage. Almost every paper mill in
the Pacific northwest, where nearly
all the Pacific coasts supply of paper
comes from. runs directly from natural
water power, and fuel oil is used only
for auxiliary heat. Northwest paper
mills consume an average of G5.ooo
barrels of oil a month.
About four million acres Of govern
ment oil land are now tied up by liti-
cation. Oil men and the fuel oil adj
ministration are trying to push con-
gress legislation to release these lands

ANXIOUS TO
START SOMETHING
Congress Disappointed That Secretary
Of War Did Not Outline
Plan for Greater
Army.
BY L. c. Martin, United Press Staff
CORRESPONDENT

Correspondent
WASHINGTON, April 25.-Sur-
prised and disappointed at Secretary
of War Bakers failure to outline any
plan for increasing the American
army or to indicate he has such a
plan congress today is on the verge
of fn> PENDENT action on the subject.
Though Baker has appeared this
week before house and senate military
affairs committee, he has not, to
quote committee members given one
new idea on the war"
Bakers reticence on the subject
about which both houses were eager
to hear, created an immediate demand
for positive action by congress to
start things moving.
Get guns, munitions and men
across. Men trained, half trained or
quarter trained" urged Senator Will
liams, Of Mississippi, today. Williams
is known as one of the administra-
tons Spokesman. He gave expression
to what many other members eX-
pressed privately.
There is now under consideration a
draft of a measure providing for an
army of 100000. Its sponsors do not
expect their particular measure TO be
adopted If they decide to introduce it.

ADJUSTMENTS.

"Douo" Fairbanks-Grand Tonight
Along the Mexican border-the des-
ert lands Of our country-with it's
forest of giant cactus, there appears
one day a mysterious, lone rider, who
acquires the appellation of "Headin'
South"
He claims to be an outlaw, and
proves to be such-not the desperate,
cruel and inconsiderate type, but the
good sort of a fellow who
wins his spoils through mental cal
culation rather than brutality and
physical destruction.
Spanish" Joe is at the head of a
notorious gang of Mexican bandits
who have been very active despite
the attempts of the rangers to curb
their depredations and repeated en-
deavors TO catch them.
"Headin' South" who is born dip
lomat, succeeds in persuading Span
sh" Joe to enroll him as a member of
the band. That worthy soon begins
to suspect the new recruit, but the
latter's ability as an outlaw over
balances Joe's suspicious.
"Headin' South" presents a plot so
unique that it has been decided not
to disclose too much of the story in
order not to detract from the pleas
ant surprise, which the picture will
give.
The plot unfolds rapidly, and Doug
las Fairbanks as "Headin' South"
displays his athletic prowess in
series of daring deeds. There is
girl in the story upon whom Span
ish" Joe forces his attentions, and
"Headin' South" rescues her in
novel manner and wins wife.-Ad-
