Our future oil supply is a questioi which is troubling captains of indus try and scientists, yet the reasons fo this concern are generally understoo. by tIe avcrage citizen. George Oti: Smith, director of the U. S. Geologi<.a Survey ,explains in a communicatioi to the Nzntional Geographic Society "Il the course of the centuries th< raw-material issue changes. In th< long-bow epoch of England's militar: strength the conservationist feared : depletion of the yew wood whic1 might give the Teuton, backed by hi larger forests, an obvious advantag< in light ordnance. Later, when G'rea Britain's naval power depended upoi her wooden ships of war ,the anxiou naval chief foresaw a posgible short age of the oak which made the wall that stood between England and he enniies. "Today htose who plan for the fu ture prosperity of their nation realiz the extent to which other raw mater hils are esential to the general well being and for some of these we cai see no adequate substitutes. "Foremost among these useful an least abundant, if not, indeed, irre placeable commodities, stands min-r al oil, or petroleum, and not only thi conservative Briton, but the most op timistic American, may well ask him self, 'Where will my children an children'b children get the oil tha they may need in ever-increasinj amounts? "But while the United States ha contributed far more than half (61 re cent.) of the oil that the world ha used for nearly 60 years, we have al ready reached the noint where we ar consuming more oil than we produec Is this position of the world's greates user of petroleum as safe as it il spectacular? "We are the world's greatest con sumers of petroleum; but, impressiv, as are the 1918 figures of consumptioi -413,077,133 barrels-no mind cai easily grasp the idea of that quantity Truly it is a flood of oil; for, if sprcm over the 60 square miles of the Dis trict of Columbia, these 413 millioi barrels would cover the area to i depth of nearly a foot alnd a half. "Beginning with four miles of iroi pipe laid down in western Pennsyl vania at the close of the Civil War this system now embraces a huge net work of buried pipes from four t, eight inches in diameter, trunk line and laterals, aggregating nearly 30, 000 miles. "When most of us were in school 'oil' meant kerosene. and gasoline o benzine was something to be bough ni a bottle at the drug store or th paint shop. "Today oil has become the premie motive power, not only on land an sea, but even in the heavens abov< an dthe depth below-truly the bes servant of Mars andl Mercury. "Marshal Foch is quoted as sayinj that 'a dIrop of gasoline was worth dIrop) of bloodl.' "Tlhe number and variety of uses o petroleu andl its products are contin ually increasing, but even more strik ing is our increased dlependence upor a fewv of the products of the oil refin cry, notably gasoline, kerosene, th< many types of lubricating oils, an< fuel oil. '"There are saidl to be 300 or mori prodlucts of l)etroleum ,each with it; own use. Some of these product: serve merely our convenience, such a: the artificial 'vanilla' flavoring or thi cover of parafmne on the jar of jelly or marnmalade; others were found du r ing the war periodl to be absolutel: essential to industry on a large scal< for example ,the heavy oil used i tempering stteel plates.

With mor than six million pleasure automobile operatted in the United States alone we have an annual consumption esti m:'ted, by the officials of the f're miosi company manufacturing high garde lubricating oil, wvhere twvent: years ago the demand for this pur pose was practically nothing. -0 AD)VERTISE JN THlE TIMES CLOSE CALLI FOR OFFICER IHighwayman's Gun Emptied, lBui Something Ilappened.
