OWE WEALTH TO PETROLEUM
Vast Fortunes Of Oil Kings All Have
Had Their Foundation In That
Substance.

OIL Is one Of the financial backbones
Of the world. There are more oil kings
than any other kings-barring royalty.
Yet multimillionaires, whose money
came from oil, owe their fortunes to
the mother oil, petroleum. BY this 10
is meant that petroleum is the basis Of
nine-tenths Of the oils other than vege-
table oils.
Petroleum comes from the earth Q
liquid substance. It is then run into
huge tanks. where 1t is vaporized, the
product Of the process being collected,
This product is petrol. The substance
left In the tanks Is vaporized by the
same process only under greater heat,
and what Is collected and condensed 10
paraffin.
Paraffin and petrol are the two light
est oils, and for this reason they are
the first to be obtained. They are also
known as the 'innammable oils" and.
as such, far the two most important
oils In existence. When these have been
extracted the heavier oils are driven
of. Firstly the thin, then the thick
lubricants.
The residue, on cooling off, forms
solid parafiin. Another substance OBJ.
tanned from petroleum Is naphtha.
There are huge petroleum wells In
Russia and America. In both places
the oils are extracted at the wells ana
are conveyed through underground
pipes to the sea, where they are
shipped away. The longest oil pipe ID
about forty miles In length.

Make Paper From 0rass.

Paper making Is being tried out In
South Africa. One Of the materials
under investigation has been the tam
bookie grass which grows luxuriantly
over vast tracks of country in the
Transvaal, particularly In the northern
parts. This grass has been proved to
yield, under the same conditions, more
pulp than Algerian esparto grass, bus
little less than Spanish esparto. Not
only 10 the yield high, but the pulp Ia
of good quality and can be easily
bleached. The most remunerative use
for the grass will probably be to con-
vert 1t in South Africa into half
stuff" which can be exported to Eu-
rope or used for paper-making locally.

CHURCH TO HELP GOOD ROADS

In a lecture on "The Church and

church must very soon give material
attention" The church is force In

ton to the pines. Then the average
woman wants to discard velvet and get
anything she can as substitute; and
today, satin is wisely offered as n
compromise between winter and sum
mer millinery.
There are also satin hats I'm all the
shades that nature gives to dahlia,
for America, as well as France, has
decided that these purplish tones are
excessively good-looking and Is re-
peating them throughout costumery
with excellent effect.
The brilliant purple that was advo-
Gated ut the beginning of the season
has been colby greeted, but the deep
puppies that are almost on blue and
black are found to agree with every
kind of gown and coat worn.
The shapes of the new hats reveal
no long-disguised secrets on the part
Of the millinery. The Russian turban
In Its original form is abandoned, but
there is an undoubted suggestion from
the Muscovite turban In the new hat
that Is reversal Of the old-meanlng
that the high point of the brim In
front Is now turned to the back, and
Instead of the ornament being placed
against this part of the brim, IL Is
kept In front.
Russian style Passe.
The national Russian headdress has
been worn bit threadbare In some
of the cheaper hats, but its original
glory Is retained by the brides who are
arranging these crowns with the point
In front, as setting for the tulle
veil.
There is another influence at work
among some OF the milliners, which
suggests the field hats worn by the
European armies in the early part of
the nineteenth century. These tur-
bans are of satin, with the brim
turned so high that the crown van
shes, and elongated at the sides and
flattened at the back. One of the
best of these French shapes is made
Of black satin, the top of the extra
high, upturned brim edged with
fringe Of algrettes.
The main points to remember In
the new hats are the tightness of the
headband in all turbans, the even line
which Is carried out around the head,
the elimination of more than one or
