Roe has worries about superfluous
wealth.
For a time, in order TO scatter
lis riches where they would not
worry him, Roe put into operation
his own share-the-wealth plan. OF
course. he didn't call 1t that for
fear that some soldier would sus-
pect the taint Of charity and refuse
t. take any Of his money.
He just called II Roe's Easy

only too eager 10 comply.
But this didn't work out. Every
colder who borrowed money from
Roe paid him back every cent
promptly-or. il they were un-
svoidably prevented from paying
hirn at once, they insisted that he

Thus Roe's financial worries in
creased.

Motor Pool Saves
Miles, Gas, Tires

The campaign 10 conserve tires
on this Post has been a decided
success, according to Mai. John
". Diggs. Automotiye Trsnspor-
ta,ion Officer, who revealed this
week that tire repair al Keesler
Field has sbeen reduced al least
IS per cent in the past 80 days.
This saving IS credited to the
rubber saving Lectures given the
drivers and the many safety and
conservation measures they have
been ordered 10 take.
Major Diggs said that he had
been instructed by the War De-
partment TO make a strenuous ef-
fort to reduce the gasoline con-
sumption Of this field by so per
cent. To do this. he said, he must
have the cooperation OF both Of
ficers and men.
THE unnecessary use sof vehi-
cles Is preventing us from maxi
ing the gas and rubber savings
necessary" he declared.
He said trucks should be or
dered on the basis OF the load
they are 10 carry. eve have We
hicles for every type load and
they should be ordered on the
basis of the weight they are TO
carry. Recons are only for pas
sengers"
Major DigRs estimated that Il
departments using motor vehicles
around the post would plan their
trips 1t would be possible TO cut
the Post mileage by at least 30
per cent.

gallons of gasoline a month on

This was done by raising

Those who make lower scores
than Private Welliver shouldn't
