Fort Jackson's Maj. Charles How ard took men for mild" cross country ride in the son of a jeep, in which he takes 8 wholly unholy glee in careening about.
 We didn't bother with such panty waist stuff as going around the mountain. We went over 1t, ignor- ing the natural phenomena of boul- ders, trees and ditches. Of course, it wasn't a big mountain. But then, it wasn't big jeep, either.
 Goes in Reverse
 The major at one point nosed over five-foot Cor was it 550O bank and stopped with the beep's blunt snout helplessly staring the good earth right in its face. His passengers didn't stare anything in the face. They shut their eyes and hung on for grim death.
 Pausing not to reason why the major muttered, "This thing oughta go up backwards" and forthwith put Ter in reverse.
 The son of jeep called on an extra and untried muscle in its rear axle and, complaining bitterly in its innards about any army that trav- eled backwards, slithered it's precar- ious way over the crest of the en- bankment.
 The son of a jeep ?- .?
 AS we were saying, seventeen states are singing the G. R. Blue. Not so the Army. Fort Jackson was ordered in April to cut its gasoline consumption by 50 per cent. It re- duced the amount almost that much in May and June and more than half in July.
 Beeps Easy on Gas
 But business continues as usual, as efficiently, as fast
 There are two reasons for this. One is organization. The other is return to the horse, buggy and bicycle.
 First step was to reduce the num- Der of administrative trucks and passenger cars. Forty-three were turned in to the district board of maintenance. When new ones were issued they were jacked up. Dual and spare tires were removed from all vehicles and stored in cool dark places.
 The motor transportation division set about making one trip replace two or three and hauling less pas sengers to fewer places. Beeps, or dinarily a reconnaissance command car, run 35 miles to a gallon of gas, and thus have been compressed for errand duty. Twenty bicycles were obtained and acquisition has been entered for 20 more.
 Wagons Replace Trucks
 Major Howard, head of the divi- sion, put into effect various gas sav- ing measures, such as banning jack rabbit starts and stops. No govern ment vehicle is authorized to travel more than 40 miles per hour under any conditions.
 The major also suggested warm ing up period for motors during both hot and cold weather, two and one-llalf and five minutes respect lively.
 Now add to the cut in indiscrim- mate use of gas consuming motors the wagons-10 escort three moun- tain, three hospital and one buck board. They are used on patrol duty, for carrying food, produce, weeds, trash, laundry and ice,
