M OF or Notes

There are hundreds of motorists
who drive in at filling stations need
ing eight to ten gallons to fill their
tanks and buy but three or four. This
Kls waste OF gasoline for the simple
Hseasefi that il is estimated there is
one-twelfth of a pint, or nearly so,
absolutely wasted by spilling or evap-
cration every time you have to take
ION gas, BY filling your tank you
Ee innate running in at filling sta
&hons and thus save the absolute
waste. You save nothing by buying
two or four gallons when you need
ten to fill the tank. The country at
prge is the loser and you will be in
the end II you don't conserve in as
many ways as possible. Figure 4,000,-
we cars out OF 100000 saving one
twelfth Of pint of the precious fluid
&ssfR other day by filling full each
and We, can save 3SS,333.33 pints,
or 100000 gallons, every other day,
and the splendid saving for twelve
months of 7.4o9.ooS.S0 gallons. Near
" 100000 gallons saved year by
little thoughtfulness. This is only
onc way to conserve gasoline.
Automobiles are asked by the fuel
administration TO assist in every way
possible to extend the conservation
pvogram. II the practices of waste
are not corrected, drastic regulations
will become imperative. Inspectors
md local deputies will be appointed
the near future.
