Oil of New Jersey, declared in a state
men! to all the people that a gasoline
shortage was. threatened with decreas
ed production of crude oil,, the quanti
ty of gasoline used by aeroplanes and
other war equipments. ' ; ;.
Mr. Bedford urged that owners, of
automobiles discontinue so-called
joy" or pleasure riding. It was like
a slap in the face for those who never
walked. It was something like taking
away the crutches of a hopeless crip
ple. -. .
But there was great joy a few days
later when Henry L. Doherty, who
next to the Standard Oil. group is the
largest producer of refinable oil, de
clared that he could not occur in the
theory that a restriction in the use
of gasoline for motor cars would help
solv6 the problem. " .
"In fact" said ,Mr. Doherty "I be
lieve, k' wflX : precipitate,; it The
threat of curtailing the liberal use of
gasoline at high prices will still fur-
tHrermtimldate" oil" producers and cur
tail drilling. If the situation .is han-
;dled with reasonable, wisdom and des
patch there need " be no fear of an . oil
famine, and the danger of a gasoline
famine would be still more remote."
Considering the important , source
from which -this statement came, those
who owned' automobiles began to
breath easy; again.
Very few realize the growth of the
Big Day For Crawford.
Detroit, Aug. 25. "Wayhoo" Sam
Crawford received homage at Navin
Field today when the Tigers defeated
the Athletics, 4 to 2. Crawford was
given a diamond ring by his admirers
and he received all receipts above ac-i
tual expenses. It probably was Sam's j
last day in baseball. He will retire
next year and will stay in Detroit
wheni the team makes it's next East

will be over North Third to Red Cross,
Red Cross to "Front and ' south on
Front to Market, then west ' to Third
and back to the City -'Hall, the forma

Every organization .in the city, par
ticularly those of a civic nature, are
invited to participate in the parade,
which will be of a patriotic nature,; it
being urged that the marchers "equip
themselves with small flags. Another
request is that expensive floats not be;
prepared,; but that the money, that has
ordinarily been spent inJ this manner;
be donated to the Red Cross or some
charitable organiation. The, one - idea
members of 4 the committee are seek-
ing to impress upon all is the fact
that the affair is to be of a patriotic
nature and organization participating

t r erican terms, the Liberal would bea I
: . Democrat in the United States. The!
:VN Conservative would be a Republican.
" " Party organisations are more rigid in
; Canada than they are now. in; the Unit-
ed States, but in both the Liberal and
' V ; Conservative parties there is the nat-5-
ural grouping of progressive and reac-
tipnary-elements. "
Both party organizations have been
hard hit over the conscription issue
.which; will culminate in the general
' lection next fall. The anti-conscrlp-'tioniBt
Liberal party (the "outs") un-
der Laurier?s leadership are going in-
to" the fight with the solid support of
jthe ; province of Quebec. . Quebec re-
tnrna 65 seats to-the House of Com
mons. Conservatives concede that
' Laurier . will control at least 60 of
: theinX Quebec is the "solid South"
of Canada
: The. o are 500,000 Germans and Aus
; triahs l in; pahacla, chiefly located in
western provinces. Public opinion is
that this vote-will be almost solidly
Liberal. "Along with this vote there
will " be what Conservatives call the
t "slacker? vote" or the support of men
who have hbt enlisted. This will be
take years, and tie up all traffic and
in the meantime the automobile habit
is growing apace. -'
An investigator :: yisited one' apart
ment house on Riverside Drive . There
were 800 leaseholders in the ' building
and probably 2,500 occupants in all.
There were 921 automobiles owned
by. the occupants more cars Jn fact
than there were ; leaseholders- ; This
was caused by many of the leaseholders
owning more than one car." '
There ,. are any number of clerks
who drive to work in the morning.
They live out of town where rents
are much , cheaper and on account of
tnis tney can airora a car.
, Several reporters own cars and; .al

And so it is that the talk of an. oil
famine' is received, in . New York with
great alarm. It-would,v la case it be
came a reality, deprive people of their
greatest pleasure apparently." .
Along Automobile Row there are) 15
schools to -teach beginners ' how ' to
drive. I was told that each one. of
these schools has, a waiting list Wom
en are especially anxious to learn
driving. It' has; become a fad. Young
