DANIEL..sON

Those who didn't pay heed to the request to save gasoline <hy foregoing Sunday joy riding had some experi- enees Sunday. It was a poor and un- freauented road. in this section of the state, on which they could travel three miles without being held up by state guards, police or other officials and asked as to the urgency of their | business
 | Some had good excuses others did 1 not; in fact, some that were out with cars offered explanations that would make horse laugh-if horses laughed and looked and acted as if they ex- 1 pected the officials to believe what | they said. A few. of course. had good excuses for using their cars, and in, 1 cluded in this number were the drivers who had permits to take their ma chimes to Lebanon, to the patriotic pill 1 grimage.
 The numbers of all machines that were out without apparent good cause 1 were taken by those who had charge of the work of keeping tabs on drivers, l but what will be done about the mat ter remains to be seen.
 One effect has been achieved, how ever, and that is to convince the aver age driver, who hadn't previously real ized it, that good American isn't using SaS0llH0 oH SunudSS uOW5 uh less in case of urgent necessity; neither does a good sport, which should cover all of the people of the allied countries, at least.
 The gasoline slackers yesterday were much less numerous than on the previous Sunday. Many had yielded, l from the week befoYe to the pressure 1 of public opinion. It is safe to assert that the automobile traffic through Danielson was reduced on Sunday by
 from 8 to 9s per cent. from normal,
 which is splendid showing.

 was en route from Philadelphia to Woonsoeket, lis home town. He had
 been stopped 42 times between Stam-
 ford and Danielson. he said, and was
 beginning to get peeved- about it. Ii
 hadn't occurred to him at all that he
 was entirely 10 blame for being out with his machine on Sunday. He was
 inclined to be impudent, withall, so his
 number was taken by Chief GFinshaw
 and more may be heard of the case later.
 A few wisenheimers driving ma
 chimes would dodge into side streets
 when they saw state guards ahead and knew they would be held up. This helped a lot-for minute. Guards or
 the streets they went through got them then,
 The average man that owns cal in towns herea bouts left his machine n his garage Sunday. Some of then don't like the system of gas saving
 but they are ebeying it to the letter : and will continue to do so as long a! required.
