MEN AND BUSINESS
By RICHARD SPILLANE

Some persons think that what
they DO with their money or with
what they purchase with their
money is not any other persons
business.
They are mistaken.
A lot OF persons are buying gaso-
line today and using 1t wastefully.
In SO doing they are penalizing all
the people. and particularly all
owners of automobiles.
There are 100000 passenger cars
in the United States. There is a
shortage of gasoline. Through gross
waste this shortage is made more
acute than II should be. II IL is not
checked the price of gasoline will
be forced to a height that will COM
pei many persons to lay up their
cars.
The automobile is of great utility.
1t gives opportunity to many mil
lions Of persons-men. women and
children-to, get out into the coun-
try, to have recreation and pleas
ures that otherwise would be diff
ficult for them to obtain. 1t Is a
great agency in the promotion Of
good roads. 1t is a great agency,
90, in the promotion OF good
health. Anything that restricts its
use Is of public concern.
Those who have studied the sub
ect say one-half a gallon of gaso-
line per car is wasted today through

and through useless mileage. This
means :, 200, 900 gallons a day.
This has to be stopped or the price
gasoline will stop the use of tens
and tens of thousands of car. It
will stop II you recognize the fact
that any one who wastes gasoline
is doing an injury to you whether
you own a car or do not own one.
How does the waste of gasoline
concern the person who does not
own a car? might be asked Let US
see.
There are hundreds OF thousands
of motor trucks. They do a great
work in the transportation of va
rious commodities. There are hun
dreds of thousands Of motor cars to
be built this year. II the price OF
gasoline advances the cost OF trans
porting goods will bc-incrcased and
you will have to pay it in the higher
price you pay for eggs, for milk.
for beef. for vegetables. for moving
your household goods; for anything
and everything you eat or use, for

the bill the general public has to
pay.

1t is difficult to understand the

roads Of America must have higher

plain as a pikestaff. That the Pull
