Oil is still ufced is an lllumlnant on millions of farms and In Isolatod places all over the world, but that Is no longer the chlof product of crude. Gasoline, at first a troublesome by-product, Is now the main result sought. The millions of motor driven vehicles' that have come Into existence In the past score of years would not have been possible had we not had this desirable product to provide an explosive to drive them. Vast quantities of |Khe crude product ire used to drive locomotives and iblps. The war might not have been won had not the allies had access t0 the fields of Mexico and the United Btates. And not only' as fuel does the greasy product enter Into the world's commerce, but as a lubricant It lesseua the friction of bearings, from the sew ing machines to steamships. The by woduets even enter the realms of med clne, and while the limit would seem to be reached In utilizing the waste from the refineries, It Is possible that tarther subdivisions may yet increase [he number.

A ival international romance has c?unc out the war, aud, unfortunately, has Vready gained ?u<4? wide publicity that it would ,? legitimate subject (or comment. Among the American soldiers stationed at one of the British flying Helda during the war was a young Hal* timorean named l'erley Spiker, who had left a young wife at home when he went abroad. While in the aviation camp he met an English girl who was in <tho war work of her country and was thus thrown info daily contact with the flyer*. l*ro lunquity and almost constant association wrought their natural and all too fre quent result, and when Hpiker returned home the English girl (became the mother of a tx>y child. When Sjxiker's wife learned of the situation sin* magnani mously seat for the English girl and hhr babe, invited them to come to this country and make their home with the Hpjkers. Such magnanimity and Immun ity (roui Jealousy and such charitable judgment of the errant JiuNbund are rare and beautiful and have operated to make Mrs. Spiker the real heroine in this un usual human triangle. It might have proved embarrassing, however, certnnly to Spiker, to have his English girl and his own babe living in the house:with him and his American wife, but the romance has been com pleted by the appearance of Spiker's brother, <Juy, on the scene and his eager offer of marriage to 'his 'brother1# English ^hveetlieart, which she has kindly accept ed. The outcome of the whole affair was the marriage of the brother to the girl, who is the mother of l'erley Spiker's babe, with the wife <>f the unfaithful husband as fairy godmother whose gen erosity and' forgiveness have made this happy eventuation of the war romance possible. It is pleasing 'to note, this idyllic story and h1m? the relaxation of that mufor* KivliiK alUtudo of the public toward a woman who makes ?uch sacritlcca for her Vove. Tliis changed altitude* of society ami this greater tolernnoo toward a wo man who violate# the aooial law art* r among the desirable re?uu? of the war add tho coiidltiuna it produced, After all, humanity is or was too inhumane and unforgiving toward a woman who violates the <niono^ramiv law ret'oguUed by (heat Britain and thin -country* How- much hotter that this young woman should l>e forgiven for her natural human weakliest* anil gJven a(chance, to live happily, as a respected wife than that she .should be forced to become an outcast and .'be sub jected to tho *coru of those Who are uo hotter than nIh- Lb, hut if the wife of lVrley .Spike r in the real hofoiue of thin romance, her huxbund is the one sorry IIruiv in. the Avhole affair, He has at least shown the good. ta?te to remain in ithe background and not obtrude him self iu a <vut rust with his wife which would ?*nphasl?e his frailty.-- PanviHe, Vn., KogiHter.
