WASTE GASOLINE
GROWS SERIOUS

If each of the 100000 motor We
ficles in the United States wasted
half a gallon of gasoline day, the
total amount of fuel wasted would be
1882, $50, 900 gallons annually-$333
O62,50O thrown away yearly.
These figures, estimated by the
truck fire department of the Good
year Tire & Rubber company, indi-
cate that the waste of gasoline thru
cut America has assumed serious pro-
portions and that there is an imme-
diate need of conservation.
Il If the drivers of all passenger cars
and motor trucks were careful to
coast up to stops, on down grades,
had carburetors properly adjusted,
did not race their motors when start
ing and did not let run idle, 100000
900 gallons of gasoline could be saw
ed annually. At an average price of
25 cents a gallon, the total saving in
money would amount to S200,000,-
O00-enough to build 5000 miles of
improved roads.
At present it is estimated that the
consumption of gasoline by motors is
34,000,000 barrels a year. The total
consumption for all purposes is
about 81 100000 barrels.
I Production of crude petroleum is
believed to be at its peak with an an
nual production Of 4O0,000,000 bar
rels. But 100000 barrels of gaso-
line can be produced from this total,
leaving but 100000 for export de-
mands.
Recently oil companies have started
a nationwide movement for gasoline
conservation, in some places by ra-
tioning so that the demands of legiti-
mate motor transportation may be
met.-The State.

COTTON MILLS RUN
NO MORE IN RUSSIA
Industry Has Gone to Pieces Under
Bolshevism.

/ Bolshevism.
f; London, Oct. 16.-Russia's great
pre-war cotton industry has suffer
ed to such an extent during the revo-
| luton that it is doubtful whether
many of the mills ever will be able
ITO operate agar says Sir Charles
Macara, an English authority in the
worlds cotton trade, in an interview
in the Yorkshire Post.
Based upon infornlation obtained
from an Englishnah who recently re-
TUNED from Russia, where for ID
years he was the manager of large
;"tton factory nAar Moscow, Sir
CT aries estimates tha; of the 9,000,-
000 spindles running j.: Russia before
the revolution Tot more than zoo, 900
or 100000 are now operating.
The experience of the English
manager of the Moscow factory were
told as an example of the methods
employed by revolutionists in dealing
with one of Russia's great industrial
assets, the textile factories in the
Moscow district. This particular mill
carried on all the processes from cot
ton spinning to the finished product,
$4,000 workers having been employ
ed under normal operating conditions
When the Bolsheviki assumed pow
er the whole cotton industry was ma
tionalized. At every mill committees
were formed and finally, in October
1919. a decree was issued that all
who had been connected with the
former owners would have to leave.
With the experts gone, the mill stop
ped. After a time attempts were
made to re-start it, but it was al
most impossible to obtain raw cotton
Small quantities were obtained,
which after being diluted with rs
per cent waste, was put through the
processes.
The machinery now is in very
bad state. in such state, in fact
that it would be almost impossible to
operate the factory properly, ac-
cofding to the information given Sir
Charles. Whenever machines are
damaged, other machines are denud-
ed of parts to repair them.
Sir Charles stated that there was
little possibility of English work
men going to Russia for employment
in textile factories. Mills in Ger
many and Austria were turning out
cnly from rs to 80 per cent. of the
normal production, he said, and Eng
lish workers faced the almost impos-
sible task of making up for the four
and a half years stoppage of tex
tile manufacture owing to the war.
