CurtuiIed MOTORING

The latest gasoline and rubber
conservation measures announced by
the Government are indirect remind
ers, if any were needed, of the dis
turbing fact that our enemies have
been hitting us heavily in vital spots.
While German U-boats have been
striking repeated blows at our tanker
supply line along the Atlantic Coast,
the Japanese have succeeded in cut
ting off our major sources of rubber,
tin and other strategic materials in
the Southwest Pacific. Thus, it is in
evitable that motorists. chief users Of
gasoline and rubber, should feel the
impact of war to ever increasing
degree.
The War Production Boards order

cries along the Atlantic seaboard and
in the Pacific Northwest and Presi-
dent Roosevelt's request to the States
that highway speed limits be fixed at
not more than forty miles an hour
are. in sense. complementary steps.
The curtailment of gasoline con-
sumption means a curtailment also
in car usage and hence in tire wear.
And the proposed reduction in speed
by the Nations motorists will con-
serve both gasoline and tires. If there
are any automobile owners who have
not yet come to realize the gravity of
thes fuel and rubber crises. the new
moves will help to arouse them from
their lethargy. The average driver
will find that his gasoline supply ac-
tually Is to be cut more than fifth,
for dealers will be permitted to meet
the essential requirements of such
preferred customers as the Govern
ment, public transportation lines,
physicians, hospitals and the like.
Moreover, gasoline service stations
will be restricted to a twelve-hour
day and six-day week. Many of
these stations have adhered to a
short day since last Summers oil
shortage scare, so the new adjust
ment should not prove very difficult
to make.

cause speed limits are controlled by

thority in the matter. In Maryland,
as in most States, speed limits are set
