WASTE OF GASOLINE
IS SERIOUS PROBLEM
Immediate Need of Conservation
Shown by Tire Company
Officials.

If each of the 100000 motor vs.
hicles in the United States wasted
half gallon of gasoline a day. the
total amount of fuel wasted would be
1,332,250.o00 gallons annually-sSS3,-
062,500 thrown away yearly.
These figures, estimated by the
truck tire department of the Good
year Tire and Rubber Company, in
dictate that the waste of gasoline
throughout America has assumed seri-
Gus proportions and that there is an
immediate need of conservation.
If the drivers of all passenger cars
and motor trucks were careful to
coast up to stops on down grades,
had carburetors properly adjusted.
not race their motors when starting
and did not let them run idle, 00.0O0,-
coo gallons of gasoline could be saved
annually. At an average price OF 70
money would amount to 100000 600
enough to build 5000 miles of i'm
proved roads.
At present it is estimated that the
consumption of gasoline by motors
is 81, 100000 barrels a year The total
Consumption for all purposes is about
100000 barrels.
believed to be at it's peak. with an an
nual production of 400,000,000 barrels.
But 100, 00O, 600 barrels of gasoline can
be produced from this total, leaving
but 5000, 900 for export demands.
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.

FOR HOT BATTERIES.
Burning Of Lights Will Take Load
Off overcharging.

Many motorists in Ndriving along
the road in the daytime have won-
dered why they would pass SO many
cars with the headlights turned on.
full. There is always an explanations
for everything.
In touring, especially at~speed. the
battery is liable to be overcharged.
This will cause the battery to heat,
which is anything but good for it.
The active material in the plates
loosens and falls to the bottom OF
the cells, causing the battery to OPP
crate at reduced efficiency. Although
practically every cars electrical sys-
tenn is fitted with an automatic cut
out to prevent such overheating. 1t
is often the case that this device
does not stand guard over the battery
the way it should.
The safe way is, of course, to burn
the lights-at least part of the
time-When Oh long drive. This
helps to take the load off the battery
and will prevent it overheating. In
view of this perhaps, when we see
a motorist going along in the day
time with his lights burning we can
consider that he Is wise driver
instead of a careless individual who
has forgotten to turn off the illumina-
ton the night before.

REGENCY. IS RECOGNIZED.
Fiume Council Replies to Plant of

FIUME. September 80 (by the As
ISOLATED Press).-Capt. Gabrielle dan
nunzio has written to the mayor Of
Fiume complaining of discussions
among the members of the recently
resigned National Council who. dan
nunzio said, were not concurring in
the proclamation of the "Quarnero
regency" The poet also asserted
that such dissensions made the work
of the new, provisional government
extremely difficult.
Upon receipt of d'Annunzio's letter
the mayor called a meeting of the
old National Council, which adopted
the following resolution:
1.-The municipal representatives of
Fiume, cognizant of the proclamation
of the Italian regency of Quarnero,
recognize the provisional government
presided over by d'Annunzio and give
their unconditional collaboration and
best wishes"

To find out the type of road surface

of the annual expenditure for con-

We have never spoken as strongly
Of the Cadillac as does this generous
English critic.
Respecting the patriotic pride Of
England, France and Italy in their
own splendid products, we have
never made invidious, claims
Of Cadillac superiority.
But, as we have said before, the group
of men whose life is bound up in
the betterment Of the Cadillac, would
be less than human if they did not
experience deep satisfaction at such
tributes from European sources.
Surely, it is no slight thing for these
men to be told, or for Cadillac owners
to hear, that Americas great car is
also proclaimed the great car of
the world!
We feel that there is no Improperly
in publishing the facts, since England
has 50 generously disclosed them.

lac is a household institution, will

Spurred on by the overwhelming
tributes paid to Cadillac performance

Cadillac craftsmen have redoubled,

the preceding fifteen years.

Gigantic Combination of Coal
And Ice Companies Under Way

Negotiations for the merger of
Burns Bros. with the William Far
rell Coal Company are understood
to have been completed, and an an
nouncement of the merger plans is
expected in the immediate future.
That these negotiations are about to
be put in actual operation is evil
denced by the fact that at the re-
cent dividend meeting of Burns
Bros directorate the expected stock
dividend was not forthcoming. The
merger of the two companies Is said
to be a preliminary step in a gigan-
tic consolidation to include later the
American Ice Company and the
United States Distributing Corpora
tion. the latter being a holding COM
pany, and as such is expected to
hold a majority stock interest in
the different companies.
A merger of the companies in
volved would embrace a chain OF
long dealers and dis
tributors of coal. which. backed ~
experienced and successful coal
men. would form the strongest uIs-
tributing organization of its kind.
