VALUE OF PETROLEUM SHOWN
War Develops Multitude Of Uses for
What Were Formerly Regarded as
Merely Its By.Products.

at has required this war to awaken
England to the importance of the Pc
troloum industry to any and every CIV
ilized country" declared Prof. Charles
Greenway, president of the Institution
of Petroleum ~Technologists in Lon
don.
'The importance of the petroleum
industry to the civilized world develops
with the purse of years, but in this
country it Is so far only in its infancy.
1t is only now, as a lesson of this terri
BILE war, that we are awakening to the
fact that petroleum, and the securing
of our own sources of supply of this
valuable commodity, are Il national me-
cessity, not only for the great ecOnom-
ic struggle which will certainly take
place between the chief commercial
nations after the conclusion of this
war, but as a safeguard against this
country ever again being drawn into
such q barbarous and destructive n
fict as that in which We are now en-
gagged.
Until within the last few years Pc
trOleum was only regarded as being Of
value for the production of artificial
light. l%ubricating oils and wax, but
later developments have shown that
its greater value lies in what were for
merly regarded as merely its by-prod-
ucts-benzine and fuel for motive pow
er, solvents for a host Of chemical and
allied processes, d~yestuffs in various
manufactures, unguents in pharmacy,
jellies and aromatic hydrocarbons for
high explosives. 1t is, I think no ex-
aggeratiOn to say that the demand for
these so-called by-products, and the
uses to which they will be put as time
goes on, are practically illimitable."

economic problem, the same as the

GOOD
EUILD ROADS ON WAR FRONT
Possible and Desirable to Construct
Highest Types Of Surfaces for
Moving Supplies.

With the arrival of the Balfour mis-
sion late information has been obtain
ed regarding road building methods
followed in the war regions of France
and Belgium.
English military engineers have re-
Gently made experiments demonstrate
ing that it is possible and desirable to
build the highest type Of road sur
fnces for the temporary or emergency
movement Of artillery and supplies.
Roads built with asphalt sent over
from England have recently been con-
structed in the real Of the French-Bel-
GUM front. Roads so Improved gave
far better service than any type here
tOfOre attempted under the swift and
heavy movements necessitated by the
artillery action which precedes infan-
try attacks. It a observed that mo-
tor trucks and gun carriages suffered
no injury in movement over these
hastily constructed asphalt pavements,
while frequent breakdowns were ex-
perienced when road building was not
ullViiplCus
These experiments being done, a
mission including officers of the Brit
ish and French engineer corps looked
over the pavements in the environs
Of Paris built in the last three or four
years. Among other roads inspected
early in this month was the Trini-
dad asphalt pavement laid on the road
to Versailles which has been carrying
military traffic eve since the war be-
gan. As a result Of these experiments
and Investigations 1t has been decid-
ed, wherever possible, to construct SIM
liar surfaces for the movement Of mill
tary traffic in regions where roads
have been destroyed or where they
may be made necessary by battle plans.

But the American does love to save

said he, meaning, of course, the thir-

GETTING CROPS TO MARKET
OF Little Avail to Raise Produce OF
Any Kind II II Cannot Be Moved

While a great deal is being said
about the crying need of cultlvating
every acre of land which can be made
to yield crops at a fair profit, there is
a surprising silence about the equal
ly important need Of providing facili-
ties or getting those crops to shipping
points. 1t is of little avail to raise
wheat if 1t cannot be hauled to mar
ket.

will be as patient as possible"
The stage manager shouted out some
directions from his box. A gentleman
in faultless morning clothes, who
seemed to have been thoroughly enjoy
ing the i%nterlude, suddenly adopted the
puppetlike walk of II foOtman. Other
actors, who had been whispering to-
gethcr in the wings, came back to their
places. Louise advanced alone, a little
languidly. to the front of the stage. At
the first sound of her voice NJ. Grail
lot. nodding his head vigorously, was
SOOthed.
Her speech was a long one. II
appeared that she had been arraigned
before a company of her relatives, as
sembIed to comment upon her mis-
deeds. She wound up with a passion
ate appeal to her husband, Mr.. Miles
Faraday, who had made an unexpected
appearance. NJ. GraillOt's face, as she
concluded, was wreathed i'm smiles.
"Ah." he cried. "You have lifted us
all up! Now | feel once more the in.
spiratiOn. Mademoiselle, l kiss your
hand" he went on. ut is you who still
redeem my play. You bring back the
spirit of it to me. In you see the EN-.
bodiment of my Therese."
Louise made no movement. Her
eyes were fixed upon a certain
shadowy corner of the wings. Over
wrought as she had seemed, with the
emotional excitement of her long
speech, there was now a new and Curl
Gus expression upon her face. She was
looking at a tall, hesitating figure that
stood just off the stage. She forgot the
existence of the famous dramatist who
hung upon her words. Her feet no
longer trOd the dusty boards of the
theater. She was almost painfully
conscious Of the perfume of apple BIOS
som.
"You!" she exclaimed, stretching out
her hands. "Why do you no come and
speak to me? I am here !"
John came out upon the stage. The
French dramatist, with his hands be-
hind his back, made swift mental notes
of an interesting situation. He saw
the coming of q man who stood like n
giant among them, sunburnt, buoyant
with health. his eyes bright with the
of his unexpected surround
n man in whose presence every
one else seemed TO represent an effete
and pallid type of humanity.
Those first few sentences, spoken in
the midst of a curious little crowd of
strangers, seemed to John, when he
of his long waiting, almost pit
inadequate. Louise, recogniz-
ng the difficulty of the situation, swift
y recovered her compOsure. She was
both tactful and gracious.
