Limit Gas
Supply
Motor Vehicles Operation
May Soon Be Controlled
BY Federal Gvernment.

WASHINGTON. April 2s-With re-
serve supplies OF gasoline greatly de-
Melted and with the reserve supply OF
crude oil sufficient Tor but six weeks
government officials are considering
means OF controlling the supply OF
gasoline or limiting the use OF motor
vehicles il was learned today.
The bureau OF mines is now engaged
in collecting data on the production
and consumption of gasoline as bas-
is for recommendations for the conser-
walton OF gasoline one remedy which
has been suggested IS the ALLEGATION
OF available gasoline under govern
ment supervision and another plan
has been advanced for restrictions up
on the use OF motor vehicles in order
that a sufficient supply Of gasoline
may be assured for necessary uses.
Information collected by the bureau
Of mines indicates that the gasoline
shortage. which lis acute throughout
the country. is due in 2 considerable
degree to the attempts OF foreign in
terests to corner the worlds supply
Of crude oil Money borrowed by for
eign interests in the L. S. at and
per cent interest. has been used 30
acquire available oil lands throughout
the world. This movement has reduc-
ed the oil and gasoline supplies in the
l. 5
Demand for gasoline Is now at the
highest point IL has everbeen The
bureau of mines ascribes this to the
greatly increased use of motor cars
and particularly the increased use Of
motor trucks.
To increase the stringencies of the
situation and making the demand more
acute. the bureau OF mines has found
that the quality OF gasoline has rapidly
deteriorated since 1915.
