Concerning Gasoline.

The war department -has estimated that the dally gasoline needs of America for war purposes will be 959,000 gallons for the next few years. Government figures show that the total dally gasoline production tn the united States Is 6,849,000 gallons. The Bureau of Mines has authorised the publication of a bufletin which states that a saving of 1,500,000. gallons of gasoline may be effected every day by Americans by the careful observation of certain simple suggestions! The bureau of mines would conserve a half million gallons more of gasoline dally than will bo demanded by the government to operate Its necessary war equipment or to carry on Its other necessary industries during times of war. What Americans need to learn at this time is to conserve gasoline judiciously and sensibly.—Peoria Journal.
