that the President is making no sSlch

GAS SAVING IS.
URGED In USE OF.
PLEASURE CARS
SECRETARY ESCAMBiA COUNTY
AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION
SUGGESTS CONSERVED FUNDS
BE TWISTED IN WAR SAVINGS.

F. WI Marsh, secretary OF the Es-
Gambia County Automobile Associa-
ton. has addressed a letter to the
members of the organization in regard
to saving gasoline for pleasure cars
this year. and having some of this
same locomotive fluid left for next
year. His communication is logical
and It's self explanatory. Mr.. Marsh
says:
"A nation wide appeal is being made
through the instrum entality of the
American Automobile Association to
the owners and users of pleasure cars
in the United States to institute
system OF gasoline saving, and invest
the amount so saved in Thrift and War
Saving Stamps.
Every one now understands, that
IL the war is to continue through the
next year. that the use of gasoline
in pleasure cars will be restricted.
why is It not a wise precaution to
begin now in the saving of gasoline
and thus reserve the stock so that the
pleasure use OF cars may be extended
further into next year? In other words
what you save now will be available
next year. and this can be accom-
plished by curtailing your daily pleas
ure ride, so that you may save not less
than two gallons per week.
cards pledging the investment OF
this amount in War Savings Stamps
IS herein enclosed, and I hope you will
indicate your desire to further this
by signing and returning to
the committee your pledge to invest
the contemplated saving in War Saw
ings Stamps"

is not surprising to cover this

is one OF the most important move

shown, there is every reason to
believe that the city's population

The erection OF 400 new homes
is an item in improvement which
should not be overlooked, said a
prominent Pensacola man last
night and every effort should be
put forth TO freely cooperate.

as a result of official visits TO Iensa-

Health and George W. Simons sani-
tary engineer OF the same state or

Chambe of Commerce Tuesday after
noon and told the members that PEN
sacola was in a bad sanitary condi-
ton
There is no city bacteriologist. That
fact was brought out plainly at the
meeting. And it was stated at the
meeting that this gave opportunities
for bad milk. Cases of this kind were
cited.
Surface closets were shown to be in
bad condition and restaurants were
far below the average of cleanliness
1t was stated by one man that when
his plate of bread came to him it had
the remnants of a salad upon it, An
other stated that there was lettuce in
his tea cup. To sum the matter mp the
dishes were not properly washed
Lack of city action was the trend
of the expressions heard at the meet
ing.

ter the meeting that the cases Of fever

investiga ton, would lead them to be-
lieve they could find more within u

What is most recommended is that

places, and see the filth that has col
