WHAT WASTING GASOLINE
MEANS

II each Of the 100000 motor
vehicles in the United States wasted
half a gallon OF gasoline a day, the
total amount Of fuel wasted would
be 1,332,25O, 900 gallons annually.
-s33S,O62,5 500 thrown away yearly
These figures, estimated by the
truck tire department Of the Good
year Tire & Rubber Company, indi-
cate that the waste Of gasoline thru
out America has assumed serious
proportions and that there is an Inn
mediate need OF conservation.
II the drivers OF all passenger
car and motor trucks we're careful
to coast up to stops on down grades,
had carhuretors properly adjusted,
did not Face their motors when
starting and did not let them run
idle. SOC, 900 900 gallons of gasoline
could be saved annually. At an aver
age price of rs cents gallon, the
total saving in money would amount
to 100000. O0O-enough to build
5 900 miles of improved roads.
At present IT rs estimated that tho
consumption of gasoline by motors
is S4.O0O.OOO barrels IA year. TIT
total consumption for all purpose
is about 100000 barrels.
Production of crude petroleum i
believed to be at its peak with al
annual production of 4OO,OOO,OO'
barrels. But 1OO,OOO,OOO barrels u
gasoline can be produced from thi
total, leaving but 100000 for eN
port demands.
Recently oil companies have start
ed a nation wide movement for gas
cline conservation, in some place
by rationbng so that the demands q

elect Harding, Mr.. Hardins's as
surance that no portfolios nave as
yet been promised is accepted. but
there is general agreement that
when the hour arrives the voice

Penrose's activities during the

centuate the belief that no Repub-

of thousands of dollars worth of
silks, old laces, liquor and wine
aboard the steamship Mongolia,
which recently arrived here from

The goods seized were stolen in
Germany, customs inspectors declar-

for stolen goods peddled from the

EXCEPTS BALL ACT
in WARTIME REPEAL
House Passes Volstead Reso-
luton Doing Away With Most
Emergency Laws.

With the exception of the Ball
rent act creating the District OF CO.
lumbia Rent Commission, the repeal
of virtually all wartime legislation
was provided in the Volstead joint
resolution as 1t passed the House
yesterday without a dissenting vote.
The measure now goes to the Sen
ate where early action is anticipated.
The Lever food and fuel control
act was included In the emergency
laws repealed through the adoption
of an amendment by Representative
Oscar E. Bland. of Indiana, by a
vote of 179 to 1917. The Ball rent
act was attached to this measure as
a rider, but was excepted from the
repeal -.---.--
Bland attacked the section of the
Lever act permitting the use of the
injunction by the government as a
weapon against labor strikes. de-
claring that 1t Is time to remove
governmental restrictions on the
right to strike.
Besides the Ball rent act, the
measure as passed by the House,
exempts from repeal the trading
with the enemy act, the Liberty and
Victory loan acts. the act creating
the War Finance Corporation. and
the act restricting departures from
and entry into the United States
Legal phases of the rent problems
of the District will be aired before a
subcommittee of the Senate Judi
oiary Committee. The bill introduced
Saturday by Senator l. Heisler Ball,
Of Delaware. to do away with the
seven-day notice by which II is said
many tenants are being ousted in
Washington, has been placed in the
hands of the subcommittee for in
vestigations at once in order that
action may be reached before the
holiday season.
The fact that the constitutionality
of the Ball rent act affecting the
District Rent Commission is to be
decided by the Supreme Court, but
not likely until after the winter
crisis has passed. was the occasion
for the introduction of the new bill.

Yank Trade in Greece
Favored by Alexander

Paris, Dec. Invaluable trade
concessions and privileges to be
granted America will be one Of the
first moves of King Constantine
when he reascends the throne OF
Greece. These concessions are to
be a. retaliation for the Anglo
French economic blockade Of
Greece, according to dispatches
from Athens.
1t is understood that the decis-
ion of Constantine was made
through the influence of the Prin-
cess Christopher. the former Ameri-
can widow. Mrs. William S. Leeds.
Her argument was that the open
ing up of Greece to American trade
will not only react favorably upon
economic conditions in the United
States. but will also give Greece the
necessary backing to replace the
financial aid which the other allies
now have withdraw.

Lord Mayor o'Callaghan said the

Of bloodshed and terrorism ahead.
The burning of Cork, the Lord
Mayor added. had solidifed the Re-

alternatives, to fight on TO the end
or to lose all the possible results
from their sUffcrings.

strong position today when Bishop
Cohalsn, OF Cork, announced that
anyone in the Cork diocese who
should organize or take part in an
ambush or kidnapping or be other

that act incur accommodation.

lain of the House of Representa-
tives. completed. with the opening
Of the present session Of Congress,
his 25th year of service. This is
the longest period Of service by any
chaplain of the House.
1t has been suggested by mem
hers OF Congress that DR.. Couden
be made chaplain emeritus on a
smaller salary and that a younger
man be appointed as active chap
lain. 1t is understood that DR.. Cou-
den Is agreeable to this plan on
condition that his Civil war pension
be increased.
Blinded I'm War.
DR.. Couden served in the Civil war
and it was while fighting under
Grant in Mississippi that he was
blinded by bullets from the enemy.
At the same time he was wounded
by shots in the face. arm. leg and
foot -
He was granted a pension of s25
a month upon which he educated
himself. This pension has been
raised until recently II reached 500
a month.
Born in Indiana, DR.. Couden was
appointed as chaplain from Michi-
gan during the first year of Cleve-
lands second administration. This
was in the 54th Congress when Tom
Reed of Maine was Speaker of the
House. For a number of years DR.
ICouden has been unanimously elected
chaplain.
Gets $3.50 n month.
A few years ago the salary Of
chaplain of the House was raised
from 500 to $3.50 to apply only
during DR.. Couden's tenure. Friends
in Congress who have suggested
that he be made chaplain emeritus
on a salary of $50 or $50 a month,
insist that II this is done, his Civil
war pension be doubled, so that he
can meet expenses.
Half of his present pension. they
point out, is paid for the services of
4 secretary, made necessary because
OF his blindness. Four years ago
Mrs. Couden was stricken with
paralysis and since that time has
been unable TO walk.
