Washington, April ii).-The only hope for the speedy reduction in the high prices for gasoline, according to Van H. Manning, th? director of (the United States bureau of mines, de partment of tho interior, lies in the immediate development of the so-call -ed Hittma?i cracking process and similar processes. He declares that the prevailing prlce3 may not only conti! uo for some time but will un doubtedly reach higher levels before there its any permanent relief. Ht t points to ?he fact ihai the oil com panies, in competition to supply the United States government Tor thc ne.vt fitoal year, have offered gasoline .at thirty-one and a half cents a gal lon for the whole year, and argues rrom this that. If the United States, using vast quantities of gasoline, ic compelled to pay this much the pri vate consumer will have to pay much moro. Furthermore, Mr. Manning says that with a rate of production the same as in 1915 the crude oil sup ply of the United States, from which we are getting our present supply of gasoline, will he exhausted in twenty .?oven years. "The situation is ivon worse," said Mr. .Manning, 'Tor the production is not going to remain stationary. The demand for gasollno lias increased moro than 200 per cent In the last live years and is now increasing ot an even faster rate. On January of this year there were 2,225,000 automobiles in use, and automobile manufacturer? ?>st'ina:d that this wtll bo increased to 3,000.000 by Januai-y 1, 1917. As the aveiagc automobile will uso more than ten barrels of gasoline a year, this means an increased consumption of moro than miz millie', barrels of gasoils c. "And what .*.* still more important to tho situation present indications .forecast a decreated production of gasoline from crude oil for lrlC rath er than an increased production/The daily production o? crude oil for Feb ruary In the Mid-Continent field, which produces 75 pee cent of our re finable crude oil was 40,000 barrels less than the average dally production for 1915, and 20.000 barrels less per day than the average doily production in 1914. and this ls in the face of the strong incentive to find new fields given by the rising market of the past six months, which has culminated In [record high prices for that field of l $1.55 per barrel forUffe crude, with, ? In some cas?s a premium exceeding i forty cents a barrel. Unprecedented Dornum'.. I "The demand for gasoline has cut I stripped the demand f<v all other [ petroleum products with the result ! that these other products, amounting i to about 7 riper cent of the production, aro be ir. g sold for less than the . cost Lot product'on. In other words, -25 [ por cent of tho production consisting j chiefly of gasoline, must pay all cost in addition toth o amount that Is lost in marketing the remaning 75 per cent. "We are exporting at tho present .time 20 per cent of our entire pro duction of crude petroleum, including 1G per. cent ot OUT gasoline production. We aro burning 25 per cent of our petroleum under boilers, which ls 1 a shameful and/crlminal waste ot pre cious natural resources .and we are using * another 20 per cent ot our crude petroleum 'Inefficiently in com petition with cos/ ns in the manufac ture of artificial gas. Three-fourths of the entire amount of artificial gas .in this country Is made from petrol jleum. - This gas could he made from coal, except that thc gas manufactur ers aro to make.lt nt l?ss cost from petroleum, owing to the lower cost Of oil as aga/ast coal. It 1B needless to say that petroleum should not be used fbi- this' purpose. "Tho solution of the problem is con servation-our petroleum resource!; .being put to their proper uses. Lei us stop this wasteful foolishness of burning petroleum under boiler?* end .tho uBe of crude ?a in the making ot artificial gas. . If by means o? crack: lng piocesseg, such as the Hinman procesa, our kerosene and fuel oils, which we have been using In compe tition with coal and selling for loss than the cost of production, can *>* converted into gasoline, the present production ot crude petroleum would be moro than ample to supply oar present demands for gasoline; Not only that; but tho general adoption ot these processea would result tn ex tending: the life of our petroleum de posits, based on the present demands*, from twenty-seven rears to more than one ^hundred years, at the same time reducing and stabilizing the cost nt gasollno to the consumer Sad pre venting rap'd fluctuations in price. Ted different refineries tue now In - stalling the.Fjittmon 'process and more companies aro considering doing so. This ia but a drop in the buckett, but the situation. *s hopeful.
