BIG SAVING ON SUNDAY

The government recently aSkeu the people not to use their pleasure cars on Sunday, the purpose of this request
 being to save an essential commodity needed in the prosecution of the war. l am informed that this request has, in a reasonable way, been met and | that a considerable and valuable sav- 1 Ing was obtained, For sometime I have thought that 1 the owners of pleasure automobiles should go very much further than put ting up their machines one day in the week I have felt that during the du- ration of the war they should be put up every day.
 "The operat atiOn of pleasure nutO- mobiles Is essentially at all times Iaxury, and there can be given no reason for their use other than per- sOna1 convenience and pleasure. Every pleasure machine operated at this time Iessens to the extent of the cost of Oper eration the owners ability to purchase Liberty BOnds and thus denies to the government tremendous amount of money soreIy needed in the preparation nnd prosecution of the war. Should the war continue much longer We will he forced either by the govern ment's orders, or financial neces- sity to discontinue their use. and every months delay means enor- mous sums of money wasted which cannot be recovered. forever lost to and to our country.
 SAVING IN JEFFERSON
 There are perhaps 5000 pleasure cars in Jefferson county and I pre-
 sume the amount expended per car Is at least $50 per month. or $250,00o.
 This of course, amounts to $3.000,o00 per annum. Personally. l think IL is l much larger. Suppose every owner of a pleasure car would agree to put 1t up until the war is over and fur | ther agree to devote the saving to in- vestment in Liberty Bonds.
 .In this county alone at least $3,oo0,- GOO, which has been wasted, would be saved for the governments needs: rub ber gasoline and numerous other artl- | cles needed for war work would he | cheapened and made more plentiful, 1 and our man power necessary for es- sential occuptions would be greatly | augmented: an extravagant luxury would be transformed into valuable 1 saving and our own sons and l brothers would be the gathers.
 1 PLAN WORKED OUT i -sT shall purposely avoid in this ar | ticle going into the details necessary | to make this idea a success. The plan | has been worked out, however, and | with start of 100 automobile owners 1 agreeing to put their cars up for tho 1 duration of the war and deyoting the saying to government needs. am per- suaded that in a very short time a pleasure car on the streets of Bir- 1 mingham would be curiosity. "This movement could he ex- l tended to every city and county in

Birmingham Man Urges Voluntary Discontinuance of Pleasure Auto Driv-
 ing During War
5000, PER YEAR IN
 IN JEFFERSON ALONE
 WOULD BE SAVIN G
Prominent Citizen Thinks 1t Time That Real Sacrifices Should Begin Among
 Those at Home

Eugene l.. Brown believes that Birmingham can start a movement for aiding Liberty Bonds that will become nation wide.
 His suggestion is that pleas ure automobile driving be dis continued entirely for the du- ration of the war and that the saving thus effected by auto mobile owners be devoted to the purchase of Liberty Bonds. He estimates that in Jefferson county alone it will amount to $3,000,000 per year. He writes as follows:
 Tn few days the people of Ameri- ca will be- asked to subscribe to the fourth issue of Liberty Bonds. They will be required to buy more largely than thy have bought in the past and the time has perhaps come to many of us when real, personal sacrifice will be necessary in order to supply the governments needs.
 This loan will not be the last. They will come along in regular order. each one requiring more from us.
 "Up to now, l do not believe that any of us have made any real hurtfel personal sacrifice Out of our abund- ance we have bought and given, and we have doubtless attributed to our selves a degree of patriotism and loyal ty, hich only privation and suffering entitIe us to attain.
