Massachusetts, motorists have sus-
tanned the traditions of the Boston
tea party. They have entered a loud
protest against the advance in the
price of gasoline Though there has
been a great deal of individual COM
plant and grumbling, organized action
regarding the high cost of gasoline has
been virtually absent: hence the course
taken by the Bay state motorist organi-
cations stands out prominently.
The Bay State Automobile Association
of Boston has petitioned the state leg
islature to send a resolution to the
Massachusetts, senator's and representa-
tives at Washington requesting them to
take such action as will result in a
lowering of the price of gasoline in the
east. where the high price is jeopardy
to motoring and the motor business In
Massachusetts.
At the annual Banquet of the Spring
field club. gasoline was the principal
subject on the program of speaking.
The statement was made that unless
organized action was taken gasoline
| would be pushed up to so cents a gal
lon. The Springfield club decided to
ask all other motor organizations in
Massachusetts, to join in the fight

Rise of Petroleum.
n the Engineering Magazine,

From the Engineering Magazine.
Petroleum has a useful history of lit
tie over half a century. In that time
it has grown to a worlds yearly pro-
duction of about 300,O0O.000 barrels
with sickening history of waste
through burning oil wells, unstored
surplus poured upon the ground, and
insufficient provision against prema-
ture waterlogging of producing wells.
One cannot say that petroleum produc-
ton, even in the United States, has
reached its maximum. Nevertheless it
has been pointed out that in the early
days of the industry the average depth
Of well was $50 feet. ten years later
it was 400 feet. At the beginning of
this century it was LOO feet, and to-
day the average depth of oil may be
placed at 1000 feet, a very consider
able proportion Of the earth's work
able crust. NJ. L. Requa puts the prob
able life of the flowing California wells
at twenty-one years-that is. our
children will face the necessity of all
of this territory being replaced.

The membership of the club Is about

problem for his town.

give substantial profits and these

the clubhouse regularly. There are
no finer Indoor games. When the
weather permits we have outdoor
