opportune time, according to
Profossor James T. Hamilton,
director of admissions at Reed
college.
In commenting on the state
ment Mr. Hamilton said, "Wc
have received numerous inquir
ies from students and parents
on the probable effect of the
military conscription law upon
students In college. In view of
the uncertainty, the fact that
many young men are hesitating
to enroll In college is borne out
by the relative decrease in the
number of men applying for ad
mission to Reed this year. Here
tofore the number of men ap
plying for admission has ex-
! ceeded the number of young
women, This year, however,
tho reverse is true. I have no
doubt thut the presidents as
surance and advice to young
men to continue the normal
course of their education will
have the effect upon those who
have been undecided."
One Day's War Fuel Would
Run 3000 Cars for Year
FORETHOUGHT
BEAUFORT, S. C. 'I', When
a rescue party In the recent
hurricane found an old negro
woman in the ioft of her inun
dated cabin with a 150-pound
nig In her lap, she explained:
"Ah bin t'rouiih de storm of
189:) and me and man family
'most starve to death so dm
I time ah uln' mean to starve."
If you're an average motorist
operating an average car you
use 724 gallons of gasoline a
year. Hut Europe's mechanized
armed forces use about 3000
times this amount In one day's
operations, or enough gasoline
to operate 3000 American cars
for o year.
Such Is the revealing data
discovered by Albert E. Horn
Jr., northwest resident manager'
of General Petroleum corpora
tion, from reports issued by the
American Petroleum institute.
"Technologists figure that
2400 bombing airplanes con
sume about 28B.000 nallons of
motor fuel per hour, and that
1600 pursuit planes consume
160,000 gallons per hour," says
the Mobilgas manager. "On the
basis of five hours per day in
the air, the total daily con
sumption of this number of
planes exceeds two and a quar
ter million gallons. Consump
tion by tanks, trucks, armored
cars, motorcycles and other wt
equipment la believed to be even
greater.
"This glgintle wr consump
tion, besides fast draining the
world's oil reserve!, U also a
great economic loss, because
just the gasoline used In these
planes, If consumed in Ameri
can cars and taxed at present
average rates, would produce
more than $120,000 government
revenue per day.
More than seventy-five per
cent of the cross ties annually
laid in replacement by the rail
roads are now treated with
preservatives which triple their
life.

onto your bill?
Good fathers, good husbands hundreds of thousands of them,
throughout this great nation, say "NO!" As a result, -10-million
tires have lost their jobs to ALLSTATE.
