How Long Will Our Oil Supply Last9
By Frederic ]. Haskin

business If the oil supply should run
Scientists have their own ways of
measuring the content of oil fields
They, study. the formations geologically
and determlne the size of the sand beds
nas IN them; OF lies only in these sand
are able to estimate their ultimate
output. They say that there are fifteen
t! billion ION barrels of oil in the known fields
last hundred years, and then it would
be gone forever.
Thus the possibility of making OF,
from hay has great importance. But
so has the new source OF supply that
the government has located. The tin on
tnls ms latter phase of the subject came
from Scotland. In that country is a
with oil. and from which the High
landers get the liquid fuel by heating
the shale and driving the oil out of it.
There is a large industry in Scotland
Dased upon the extraction of oil from
this shale. VIM
=, American oil experts wondered IL
Tnie ne Gnlted states had any oil shale.
OF OF Mines set out to find the answer.
They are now ready to announce that
there is almost unlimited oil shale in
the ROCKY Mountains. Utah and Color
ado alone have more of it than Scotland
ever dreamed of. There is as much oil
In the shale that has already been
lound as there is in all the sand in all
the OIL fields combined. This shale is of
hlgher quality than that of Scotland
containing more oil.
Dr. Day has been carrying on exneri-
ments IN Its reduction. He believes
that 1t will be possible to extract ~ an
commercial bassis as soon as n is
needed. Incidentally, he has found that
IN It's extraction very great amount
OF pyridlne may be produced Pyridine
Is the basis of many medicines.
me oil expert of the government
hold that an important situation exists
IN IN Europe with relation to the supply
OF that product which may have n ma
terial effect on the ultimate outcome of
the war. They say, for instance. that
germany produces almost no oil. and
therefore no gasoline with which to run

submarines Before the war she got

duet of the oil Industry, and essential
to the well-being of the great numbers
or machines of modern warfare. The
only oil fields upon which Germany
may draw are those of Gaiicia, which
were little while ago in the hands of
the Russians but have been recaptured
In the present drive into Poland. II
may pe that the need of oil had to do
with the intensity of the German desire

BATHING FACILITIES

TIME crying need of adequate
facilities for Harrisburg's thou
sands of men and women should
not go unheeded a moment longer than
necessary.
AS has been pointed out by this
newspaper and others, the city pro-
vides such facilities for the boys and
girls of the community, but there is
no place for the grown-ups, who are
just as fond of splashing in the water
on summers day as are the young
sters.
With the truly wonderful river at
the city's front steps, and the dozens
of sandy islands dotting the Susque-
hanna from one end of the city to the
other, there is no real reason why
bathing beaches should not be con-
structed within the reach of all.
Just how popular such beaches
would be can be seen any afternoon by
taking a look across the river at In
dependence Island. 1t is estimated
that fully a thousand people bathe
along the shore of this island every
week; and this excludes the owners OF
boats who can swim wherever they
please. independence is privately
owned and Il costs dime to cross TO
the resort in the ferry provided and
another quarter for suIt and locker.
While not an exorbitant fee, neverthe-
less there are many thousands in the
city who are unable to take advantage
of the sport because or this expense.
If the municipality would provide a
suitable beach along the shore of
Hargest's Island for grown-ups it is
needless to say that the piace' would
be constantly thronged throughout the
summer with men and women glad to
get away from the sticky heat of brick
walls and asphalt streets for the
exquisite coolness that only a plunge
can give when the mercury and the
humidity are up.
That it would be simple matter to
provide an adequate beach is attested
by old rivermen, who say that an eddy
of water safely deep could be built
at trif1ing expense. The cost of main
tenance and of providing lockers
would certainly not be large. The
benefits that would accrue to the COM
munity by thus providing a means
whereby meS and women could in
healthful and invigorating of exercises,
cannot be measured in mere dollars
and cents.

BANK ADVERTISING

a GEARY COUNTY, Kansas, farm
n er recently motored into town
with $500 in a grain sack. 1t
took bank officials more than an hour
to count the money, which was largely
in one-dollar bills.
The farmer brought in the currency
sas a result of a savings account ad-
vertising campaign conducted by 10
cal bank The farmer had done no
business with banks in years. OF
course, this man all that time had run
the risk of losing his money by fire or
theft, but that was not his only
danger.
If you have some money lying idle,
it often becomes known, and you are
deluged with multitude of opportuni-
ties to invest" it in speculative stocks
or securities which it is claimed will
yield anywhere from to so per cent.
or more per annum.
AS a prospective investor with a
limited sum available. you are apt to
feel that there is no safe investment
for you and therefore fail to take
advantage of the ever-present oppor-
tunity to increase your income, and at
the same time to have your capital
available in the time of necessity.
You will find that everywhere the
road is made easy for you to invest
your money, with accommodating

HIGHWAY TO MILLERsBURG
TIME Motor Club of Harrisburg ha'
rnanu nYcnlIent nIeces of CON

TIME Motor Club of Harrisburg has
many excellent pieces of con-
structive enterprise to it's credit.
1t was largely responsible for freeing
the river road from toll and its re-
construction. It's traffic rules are
admirable and have done much to
make the streets safe and to stop
speeding. 1t contributed largely to
the good roads day in this section and
now has under way a plan whereby
the toll road between Hummelstown
and Wernersville will be purchased
and turned over to the State. But
nothing it has done approaches in inn
portance to the community as a whole
the effort it and the equally energetic
Motor Club of Millersburg are making
to have the bottom of the old canal
leading from Millersburg around the
base of the mountain transformed into
a State highway.
The road to the upper end of the
county is so narrow that at places two
vehicles cannot pass and it abounds in
dangerous grade crossings. These
dreaded as automobile and wagon
traffic increases with the growth of
travel and the development of the
upper end. The railroad company
now controls the canal bed, and, the
chances are, never will find use for 1t.
If it wants at any time to extend its
tracks the natural thing to do would
be to push the public road, which now
lies between the railroad and the canal,
over into the canal bed and construct
the tracks on a fill covering the
ground now used for the roadway.
This was done in the Dauphin Mar
rows and the new highway was built
pany. If the company waits it's own
convenience in changing the road be-
low Millersburg, the expense of road
construction naturally will lie with it.
But if 1t accepts the plan outlined
by the Harrisburg and Millersburg
Motor clubs it will avoid this expense
and clear its right-of-way of a num-
ber of grade crossings that may some
day make the company defendant in
lawsuits that would be much more
costly than the surrender of such a
doubtful piece of property as is the
canal bed at the point named.
Such a road as is proposed would
be of great advantage to the people of
the upper end of the county and would
encourage business between this city
and that section now prevented
through lack of highway facilities.
The movement is also in line with the
recently declared policy Of the State
Public Service Commission for the
abolition of grade crossings through
out the State and the motor clubs
would naturally have the support of
that body for the asking.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1915-08-05

way to get 1t back is often a devious
one, with no one in sight to help you.
Keep your money in the bank or in
a conservative investment recon-
mended by banker of reputation and
you will beat 80 out Of every 100 in
vestment" schemes that are offered
you. Men who have anything that is
really earning big dividends are not
selling 1t at bargain prices. They are
not Offering it to you at all What
they are Offering to you is something
that they do not want themselves,
something they want to unload. Nine
tenths of the people who go into such
schemes buy things that are being
"unloaded" by someone. and by the
modern processes OF promotion the
unloading is often done at enormous
profit to the promoters.
If bankers advertised half as con-
sistently as do these promoters both
the banks and the public would be the
gamers.

SEND THEM HOME

HOW long is President Wilson go
IL ing to tolerate the presence of
that fellow Bernstorff and his CO.
conspirator against the public welfare,
Boy-Ed, in this country? The recent
expose of the Providence Journal, q
newspaper of high standing, reveals
this pair as far more dangerous in
bomb-throwing blackhanders and an
archists against whom the govern
ment wages such constant warfare.
Boy-Ed previously was involved in a
disreputable scheme against the neu-
trality OF the United States and Bern
storff was a party to the murder of a
hundred Americans aboard the Lusi-
tania- Beside him Becker is a saint
immaculate.
And now comes a newspaper of ex-
cellent reputation, with a circumstan-
tial account of Bernstorff and Boy-Ed
in an effort to embroil the United
States with Mexico. The Journal has
placed the facts in the President's S
hands and offers to prove absolutely
every one of its assertions. Doubtless
it can do so.
The country demands that the Pres
ident act in these charges and act
promptly. If it has been nursing a
pair of vipers in its bosom the fact
cannot be ascertained too quickly.
Bernstorff and Boyd have at least
A.
suspicion. They have outlived their
usefulness. They should be sent
home.

PENBRooK's ENTERPRISE

nENBRoOK is doing what is pos
i slble to untangle constitutional
snarl which for time has held
ur the important street paving under
taking that promises so much for the
town. Somebody discovered that the
main highway had once been improved
many years ago and the question of
the liability of abutting property own
ers for the new paving is the fly in the
ointment. However, many of the pro-
gressive citizens along the main street
are signing petitions for the paving
and it is hoped the situation will be
cleared so that the improvement can be
made this summer. Penbrook needs
that paving.

THE PITY OF 1T

VXTITHIN the last fortnight several
w women have ended their own
lives following quarrels with
their husbands.
Perhaps the husband was altogether
in the wrong. More likely both were
at fault. But the pity of 1t is that
such Misunderstanding should come
between any husband and wife that
either should wish to make an end of
earthly existence.
Petty quarreling and wrangling in
the home is too often the result of
nasty marriages and a lack of under
standing of each other before the knot
is tied. More often still, perhaps, IT
is the result of selhshness on the part
of either the man or woman, or both

MILITARY EXPERTS SURPRISED

[F'rom the New York Evening Post1
1t has been year of frustrated pre-
dictions and expectations gone wrong
In several of the warning notes which
passed between the various diplomats
last July, the expression was used
that war, If 1t came, would have in
calculable consequences" 1t was a
true word. Nobody foresaw what has
come to pass. Military experts have
been left looking like children. Even
the German General Staff with its
wonderful organization of knowledge,
has been overtaken by surprise after
surprise. Financial prophecies have
fallen to the earth. The forecasts of
Bloch and others of his school have
been beggared by the event. And not
into the imagination of anybody did
there enter conception of the enor-
nous losses which one year of fight
ing would bring. 1t has been truly
an annus terribilis. And its gloom is
projected upon the future.
1t has not however, been nothing
but a shamble. Even amid it's hor-
rors, the humane spirit has shone out,
and moral principles have asserted
themselves. We mean the crushing
moral handicap which Germany took
upon herself by her conduct towards
Belgium. This she has never been
able to overcome. Germans them
selves admit this They nov perceive
that the immense moral revulsion
which shook the whole world when
Belgium was trampled by German
armies had an effect very like that of
making the Allies present of a mill
lion armed men. Thus we have at
least one great sentiment. having to
do with law and right, which has per-
sisted steadfast all through the war
1t has been a manifestation of the
soul of goodness in things evil We
need not despair of the future so long
as the heart of man continues to thrill
over Belgiums wrongs and so long
as the consensus of civilized nations,
outside the belligerents, is that no
ending of the war ought to be thought
of which did not make the Belgians
again independent and free.
