Germ the person who does not own
a car, might be asked. Let us see.
There are hundreds of thousands of
motor trucks. They do great work
in the transportation of various conf
modities. There are hundreds of thou
sands of motor cars to be built this
year. If the price of gasoline adj
vances the cast of Transporting goods
will be increased and you will have to
pay it in the higher prices you pay
for eggs, for milk, for beef, for vege
tables, for moving your household
goods, for anything and everything
you eat or use, for directly or indi-
rectly it will be in the bill the general
public has to pay.
A waste of one-half gallon of gas
oline per passenger car per day means
1895, 100000 gallons year. Wow!
One gallon of gasoline will provide
the energy to move a one-ton truck
Is miles, or to put it another way, it
will move Is tons of freight one mile.
If the users of passenger cars would
save the one-half gallon a day they
waste it would equal 16,425,0O0,000 toll
miles of haul.
Economy in gasoline means more
than the general public appreciates.
More oil is being used today than is
being produced. That means the re,
serve stocks are being drawn upon.
Curtailment of waste is imperative
1t rests with the users of gasoline to
do voluntarily what otherwise they
inevitable will be forced to do.
Save oil.

to bird customs in America, and nests
always in May or June. An explanat
ton may be found in the fact that 1t
is somewhat less hardy than the emu
and finds the rigors of winter check
to love-making. The emu, however,
care not for snow or cold, and so it Is
that we find nesting in January,
when most wild life is at it's lowest
ebb."

Motorists Must Save Oil or the
Price Will Soar Beyond Reach
Waist of One-Half Gallon per Touring Car per Day
Means Million Year

Some persons think that what they
do with their money or what they
purchase with their money is not
any persons business says Richard
Spillane in the Philadelphia Public
Ledger.
They are mistaken.
A lot of persons are buying gaso-
line. Through gross waste this short.
age is made more acute than it should
be. If not checked the price of case
line will be forced to a height that
will compel many persons to lay up
their cars.
The automobile is of great utility.
1t gives opportunity to many millions
of persons-men, women and children
to get out into the country to have
recreation and pleasures that other
wise would be difficult for them to OBJ
tain. 1t is a great agency in the pro-
motion of good roads. 1t is a great
agency, too, in the promotion of good
health. Anything that restricts it's use
is of public concern.
Those who have studied the subject
say one-half gallon of gasoline per
car is wasted today through careless
ness, through overuse of cars and
through useless mileage. This means
100000 gallons day.
This has to be stopped or the price
of gasoline will stop the use Of tens
of thousands of cars. 1t will stop II
you recognize the fact that anyone
who wastes gasoline is doing an in

Handy Furniture
for Crowded Corners

The combination cabinet-couch is a
very hand piece of furniture designed
for utilizing space in crowded quar-
tiers, which is the invention of Bos-
ton woman In these days of housing
problems these combinations are es-
sential, and this one looks as if it
might fulfill all the functions of a
bed, lounge or clothespress with
credit.
Instead of being supplied with a lid
as most box couches are this has a
number of drawers and compartments
of different shape and the storage ca
pacity of such cubby holes is very
great and at the same time utilize
what is frequently simply waste space.

Baths for the Eye

For the daily care of the eyes there
should be two baths. The body must
have it's bath. The face must have its
cleansing. Why not the eye? Especi-
ally as the eye with it's thick lid and
the fringe of the eyelashes is dust
trap, and the slightest speck of dust
allowed to remain beneath the lid may
cause irritation of the lid and inflama-
ton of the eye.
For the eyes daily bath l offer you
the choice of several lotions. My IA
vorite is: Ten ounces of pures trose-
water. Apply with an eye cup, turn
ing the eye cup upside down so that
the half open eye is completely washed
by the contents of the cup. Hold it thus
for 80 seconds, or, if not uncomfort-
able, for full minute. Throw away
this rosewater Rinse the glass and
give the eye a second bath.
If the eyes are unduly irritated the
bath can be repeated several times.
Ordinarily a bath in the morning on
rising and another at night on retiring
are enough.
Some of my friends who have beau
tiful eyes prefer elderfower to rose
water. 1t is equally good and should
be applied in the same way.
Another excellent bath is one-half
an ouce of with hazel; one-half an ouce
of distilled water. Shake we'll in
bottle and apply with an eye cup
One other bath l must tell about that
is most excellent for Strengthening
the eyes: Six drops of boracic acid,
| one wineglass of distilled water.
A bath in borax water is highly
beneficial and has the advantage OF
being always convenient. Even while
travelling one may always carry a box
of borax. Moreover, it is safe, be-
cause borax will only form per
cent solution, that is only 4 per cent
of it will be absorbed by water. A
borax bath is very Strengthening. If
the eyes are delicate or the person so
prejudiced against experiments that
she is not willing to introduce this
substance directly into the eyes, silk
handkerchief or a soft clath dipped in
borax water and pressed upon the eye
lids is both efficacious and soothing.
The old-fashioned remedy of cold
tea leaves pressed opon the lids has
value, not from the tea leaves intrin'
sically. but from the cool, moist con-
tact. Cloths dipped in water are quite
as good.-New York American.

Several of the nations of the world
are clamoring for the control of the
toy trade, and it is quite likely that a
great share of it will fall to the United
States owing to the ingenuity which
has developed in this direction among
the toy makers of this country. One
of the most recent innovations in the
manufacture of dolls is one which has
eyes which may be moved in any di-
rection in life-like manner at the
will of the little mother who holds
the mimic baby in her arms.
The end of lever fulcrumed to
swing universally is slightly exposed
in the back of the dolls head, yet
hidden under the hair of the doll. A
slight movement of this causes the
eyes to move together in any direc-
ton, and the effect as one sees these
eyes of porcelain rolling around in
such iife-like manner is truly per

The Most Exclusive
Club in America

The most exclusive value in Amer
lea is the least known; it never meets
and it's members are always present.
This paradox is explained in an az
ticle "The Lifers' Club" In the May
Good Housekeeping.
"The Liners Club consists of men
who must walk lock-step to the grave.
The grizzled graybeard who has spent
a quarter of century behind thick
prison walls and the eighteen-year-
old murderer who is just beginning
upon the bleak stretch of years that
lie ahead of him are it's members.
"The Lifers' Club was established
by the Salvation Army three years ago
in behalf of the men and women 'up
for always
"The club is in essence an express
sion of the feeling shared by the most
advanced penologists and welfare
workers about all prisoners, including
lifers, at the present time"

GASOLINE WASTE TOTALS HUGE SUM
Preventive Evaporation l 300,000,000 Gallons
 Yearly, U. s. Says.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15-While en- gineers, chemists and automobile men throughout the country have been bending their best efforts towards developing some liquid fuel as a substitute for gasoline to meet the ever increasing demands of the fast growing automobile industry, The United States Bureau of Mines has come forth with the declaration that the entire preventative losses in the Evaporation of gasolene from crude petroleum from the time the petro- leum leaves the wells until it arrives 1t the refineries, reaches total of 300.000,0 gallons each year, or suffi- cient to keep 100000 automobiles ill commission for year if eaich car uses 250 gallons of gasoline.
 These, according to the Bureau of Mines are merely the preventative losses from evaporation alone and do not take into consideration other losses, many of which in part, may be avoided. The total loss from evap- oration amounts to more than 600,- 100000 gallons of gasoline for the country according to the investiga- lions of the bureau. which has cal eulated that one half of this, or 300,000,000 gallons may be saved.
 The worst feature to this is the fact that the gasoline wasted is the most and consequently the best qual- jty of gasoline obtainable. It follows hat the prevention of this loss, which is economically possible, would not only increase the gasoline supply materially but would also increase the general standard of the gasoline.
 The bureau will issue shortly, careful directions to the oil men as 10 how this deplorable situation may be remedied. It is estimated by the bureau that the 00,000,000 gallons of gasoline lost through evaporation each year is worth as national asset, about $150,00O 900.
