Little Gasoline
Saved by Curfew
International New. Service Wire

NEW YORK. Aug. 4.--Ncws-
paper-sponsored surveys in II
states along the eastern Seaboard
today indicated that the govern
ment all-night curtew on gasoline
had failed TO cut down on fuel
consumption.
Although the majority Of the
100000 filling stations from Maine
to Florida locked up their tanks
from Z p. m. TO z a. m. at the re-
quest of Petroleum Co-ordinator
Harold l.. Ickes, the surveys indi-
Gated non-co-opcration on the
part of the public
A check of oil companies showed
that Sunday motorists boosted
gasoline sales 10 record proper
tons by tanning the filling sta
tions during daylight hours. Many
drivers carried spare five and To-
gallon tanks.
Only official reaction 10 the first
nights operation of the Ickes plan
came from New Jersey State Co
ordinator w. Garrison Metz, who
admitted the curfew idea had
failed 10 save gasoline.
Although the majority Of oil
companies co-operated with the
Ickes order, surveys within a 80
mile radius of New York City
showed that scores of independent
stations and at least one large
company were ignoring the shut
down.
As the result of the failure Of
the dusk to dawn curfew, it
seemed probable that Ickes' threat
to ration gasoline in the East may
go into effect. Government lead
ers were to confer in Washington

Sailors Here Fight

Scattered fist fights which
broke out between sailors sta
toned al the Naval Armory and
civilians returning from an out

up traffic for several blocks on
both sides of the bridge. The
fights lasted for about half an
hour until naval officers ordered
the sailors back TO their quar-
tiers. Six scout car crews and
a police cruiser were sent 10

on the flank of an attack OF

rights to freedom of the seas.
In our next war with Eng

if we shall have one, all our

bases, extensively constructed
or confidingly occupied, but

pire ION which the sun never
sets), might easily be with
drawn.
The sun might at least set
on us, and on our occupancy
of British West Indian or
British Bermudan or British
South American or British
oriental or British Sou h
African bases.
And we would be left with
no place to hang our naval
hat, having stupidity built our
house of defense upon the
sand of foreign favor instead
of upon the rock of our own
land and our own self-reliance.
Wherefore, frie N d S, we
should assuredIy fortify the
Philippines and make there
the greatest naval base i'm the
world.
This base should be ten
times as formidable as Pearl
Harbef i'm the Hawaiian
Islands, because the Philip
pines are ten times as impor-
tant ira t e 81 lea ly as the
Hawaiian Islands.
The Hawaiian Islands are a
valuable outpost of defense,
and they belong to the United
States.
Thank heaven we are not
there on sulferance.
But they are not the
menace to the harbOrs and
homelands of an Orien a |
power attempting to attack
the United States that the
Philippines are.
The Philippines should be
C ON pl e t ely fortified, and

American.
If the American govern
ment had not been almost in
conceivably dumb it would
never have abandoned them.
But American politicians
are like that.
They lease what is COM
paratiyely worthless and give
away what is invaluable.
Maybe Mr.. WedgwOOd "had
something" when he minated
that the best people go into
politics i'm England, but some
how in the United States a
political job is a refuge for
failure.
IL looks as il he had.
Consequently, it may be
just as well that our ready
to-war politicians did not
precipitate us into conflict
: with Japan at this time.
!. Let Us get our Philippine
! bases built first.

Church and Home
BY REV. M. MIKKELSEN

When we first meet the thought of
the restoration of all things as eventu-
ally we shall sooner or later if we
venture an occasional Cor daily
plunge into the deep mysteries of
our old Bible book it might strike
us as being absurdly foolish. AS
men of letters and realities we find
it very hard to believe in abstrac-
tions; we are used to thinking of mon
ey when we think of restoration or
rebuilding, and therefore when the
Bible ventures upon the subject and
we know that money as rule is not
involved in Bible enterprises, we feel
that we are justified at least tempo
rarily in being mildly skeptical
But first is not last.
In times of ruthless destruction,
broken hearts and bruised and
crushed souls must be left either to
despair or be cheerfully lifted out of
their dependency by something like
this: Broken lives, defeated hopes
can be restored and rebuilt; however
abstract, it is truth we must learn
to cherish, and we shall meet the
idea again as one of the fundamental
truths in life.
No amount of making good with
material things can ever make right
the wrong that is done today. Some
thing bigger and better than ourselves
must do the work if it is to be DONE
Try to picture before you the
parable of the merciful Samaritan
as Jesus told it; think of the man
by the roadside, left alone, wounded,
half dead; it should not be difficult to
make this picture real today; think
also of the help he received. It is
such a simple story, yet it is big
enough to open a door into a new
world of hope and life for all man.
kind, and in this new world there is
cure for defeated hopes and utter
despair, for it tells us that broken
lives can be restored.
1t is all very well that we can help
by giving money; it might be neces-
sary to give many times more than
we do, but no matter how much
good all our money will do it does not
begin to touch the real need; it can
not revive the dead, or restore the
sick and depressed mind, or erase
the bitterest memories; the hurt re-
mains if money alone is offered. The
only possible cure is found in the fact
that we are born again to new
and acute understanding Of the deep
est need of humanity, and are ready
to give even ourselves out of this
understanding.
When Jesus healed a certain sick
man, they said of Him, that He did
all things well. People were so i'm
pressed by His work that they in
cluded "all things" in their praise;
for they felt that in His presence
nothing could be wrong, or that all
the wrongs in the world could easily
be corrected, and eventually would be,
for restoration is effected through
Him.

And hope in his glorious eyes.

And the weak will grid and make
