to Fulfill Promise to Aliens
in Philadelphia Speech.
DISCUSSES PREPAREDNESS
AND MILITARY TRAINING
Former President Addresses Confer
ence of National Americaniza-
ton Committee.

! PHILADELPHIA. January 21.-The
necessity of training Americans born
! in this country as we'll aliens who
have come here or will come in the flu
ture in the highest ideals of American
citizenship was dwe1t upon by speak
ers at an all-day conference here yes
! terday under the auspices of the Ma
tional Americanization committee. Of
| fcials of the federal bureaus of educa-
ton and immigration, state officials.
| socologists and others interested in
the problems of the immigrants were
among the, speakers at the conference,
| which was brought TO close by
mass meeting last night, at which for
| mer President Roosevelt was the prin-
| cipal speaker. Every seat in the opera
| house where the meeting was held was
| occupied when Alba B. Jonson, presi-
! dent of the Baldwin Locomotive Works,
introduced Col. Roosevelt.
Under the theme of Fear God and
Take Your Own Part Col. Roosevelt
touched a wide range of discussion. lie
appealed to America to fulfill her promises
of liberty and equal opportunity to the
people who come from foreign lands de-
clarng that to be the first essential IN
Transforming them into desirable citizens.
Germany had he said, proved that an
autocratic government can take care OF
its working classes and its business IN
terests at the same time, and the ann OF
the United States should be to demon
strate that democracy could accomplish
the same things.
Military training, starting in the hlgh
schools of the country, greater govern
mental control over corporations. and
likewise lessened state control. together
with federal supervision and encourage
ment of the manufacture of munitions
were other questions urged by the speaker.
in a book which has long been
favorite in our family, one of the char
acters sums up the duty of man as being
to Fear Gcd and take your own part.
Col Roosevelt said Surely it is just as
We fear God when we do justice to and
demand Justice from the men within our
own borders. We must do it to the weak
and we must do it to the strong. We
must organize our social and industrial
life so as to secure a reasonable equality
of opportunity for all men to show the
stuff that is in them and a reasonable
division among those engaged in in
dustrial work of the reward for that in
duStrial work
Outside of our own borders we must
treat other nations as We wish to be
treated in return, judging each in any
given crisis as we ourselves ought to
be judged, that is, by our conduct in
that crisis. If we are really devoted
to high ideal. We must in so far as
our strength permits aid those who
are wronged by others. When we sit
idly by when Belgium is being over
whelmed and. rolling UP our eyes, pratt
tie with unotuous self-riShteousness
about the duty of neutrality, we show
that we do not really fear Cod on the
contrary. we show an odious fear of
the devil, and mean readiness to
serve him.

H. S. Reavis Takes Exception
to Report by U. S. Geo.
logical Survey.
CITES THE BIG ADVANCE
IN PRICE OF CRUDE OIL
Says Refners Pay 200 to 400 Per
Cent More Than in Early
Months of 1915.

The diminishing of the supply OF
grades of crude oil from which gaso-
line is obtained coming at the time OF
the greatest demand ever known for
the finished product, gasoline, is re-
sponsible for the present high prices
in the latter commodity, according to
H. S. Reavis of Houston, Tex.
Mr.. Reavis, who is regarded as an au-
thority on questions pertaining to oil
production, takes exception to the
claims of an issue of the United States
geological survey In which various
phases of the oil industry are discussed
on the ground that the survey does moi
give all the facts by which tho case is
complicated.
The survey says the production OF
petroleum in 1915 was greater than il
1919" Mr.. Reavis remarks. This does
not agree with the currently reported
reason for the exceptionally high prices
now prevailing for motor fuei. Now
for the facts:
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1916-01-21
Oil Production in 1915.

petroleum production in 1915 TN
doubtedly was greater during the first
few months of the year than in the cor
responding period of 1911. This was
particularly true of the grades of crude
oil from which our supplies OF gasoline
are obtained. For instance, the cush-
ing pool in Oklahoma, producing a
crude oil especially adapted to the max
ing of gasoline, rose to q production of
100000 barrels a day in the spring of
1915. The market was glutted with
crude oil of this grade, and the price of
Gushing oil fell as low as 70 cents a
barrel. AS result of the immense
surplus of the raw material from which
gasoline is made, the price of gasoline
was correspondingly low. 1t sold down
to 5 cents a gallon in tank car lots,
and s cents a gallon, tank wagon de-
livery.
"In the early summer enormous pro-
duction of Gushing, which had depressed
both crude oil and refined oil prices
throughout the United States east of the
Rockies, began to wane. In a few months
the yield of this pool had declined by
200, 900 barrels d day. Coincident with
this falling off in output of the raw ma
terial came an unprecedented demand
for gasoline. Marketers reported an in
crease of from so per cent to 10 per cent
in the demand for gasoline, as compared
with 1914.

A Pear Blight Cure

About one year ago The Ad-
vertiser's representative found
the farm of Mr.. A. A. Douglass,
on the Gid Scotch Road, an in
teresting place to visit. At that
time Mr.. Douglass told an inter-
esting story of a snake that swal-
lowed alcohol, bottle and all
He showed us some live guinea
chickens "a hybrid) and a num-
Der of useful inventions. This
time there was no story to relate
and the guinea-chickens had
grown up and were sold.
Mr.. Douglass wizardy had
taken a new turn, and he show
ed us some pear trees that had
been cured of pear blight. The
trees showed every evidence of
having suffered from some dis
ease, but the bark and wood are
now in healthy condition. A
reliable witness was not wanting
who said that the trees were suf-
fering badly last year, bnt were
now apparently sound.
This preparation was applied
last year to a single row of peas
in q field that was affected by
wilt, with the result that the
one row produced thoroughly
healthy vines, while other parts
Of the field continued to suffer.
Mr.. Douglass believes his dis
covery will prove an effective
remedy for cotton wilt, tomato
rot and other kindred vegetable
ailments, ae it has -lso arrested
cabbage rot.
More thorough tests will no
doubt be given this preparation
this summer.

pot agent.

this time the job is his.
Mr.. j. A. Welsh this week set.

Two Fueitives Caught

Lester keenan, and Earl Blan-
chard two fugitives from justice
in Mecklenburg county, N o.,
were captured by Chesterfield
county authorities Monday.
They had escaped from the
chaingang about one week ago.
About two months ago these
two boys, in company with a
Davis boy, known in Chester
field, were charged with unlaw-
fully entering q box car in
Mecklenburg county. The Da-
Wis boy was sent to the reforma-
tory while keenan, and Blan-
chard were sent to the gang for
six months. Their claim is that
they only entered the car for
protection from cold.
Word had been received at
the sheriff's office TO look out for
them and when two strangers
came strolling through town Cor
responding to their descriptions
Mr.. Grant, rural policeman, took
up the trail and soon had both
