Hundreds of American surgeons and nurses are helping to care for the European wounded and thousands of dollars have been sent abroad to make them more comfortable. and in this way we have contributed a goodly part to- wards the amelioration of the horrors If this terrible war.

a Senate resolution is making an in- vestigation of the price of gasoline this includes not only an investigation of the advance of gasoline prices but a report on the whole petroleum in- dustry. From all this concerted search for oil facts, much information Is available to the people relating to the entire petroleum subject; indeed, the average citizen if he chooses may study for himself the steps that should be taken towards conserving the Hquid fuel supply of this country for posterity.
 Position Of United States As Oil
 Producer.
 This country furnishes 66 per cent of the worlds gasoline. According to the latest figures, and it is said that our oil contains the largest amount of gasoline of all the worlds oils.
 The areas of crude-oil production in the United States are assigned to ten major fields, the term field" be- ing used to designate a region of in- definite boundaries that includes a number of detached areas of actual oil production referred to as pools These ten fields are the Appalachian including Southwestern New York Western Pennsylvania, Southeastern Ohio, Western West Virginia, Ken- lucky and Tennessee; the Lima In diana, em bracing oil areas in Western Ohio and Eastern Indiana; the Illinois covering the principal areas within

Do We Face Petroleum Panic? The Govern. ment's Efforts To Study the Situation This Country the Worlds Greatest Source of
 Gasoline The Problem of Conservation.
By DORA SIMPKINS,

their pictures will shortly be true to life unless the Government takes a hand in the game and dictates a few radical measures.
 So Uncle Sam is setting his experts to work to find solution for the inn pending tragedy. The Geological Survey has computed estimates that cover our possible future supply of petroleum from the oil-bearing areas. The survey announces the startling news that the supply is only sufficient to last from twenty-seven to thirty years at the present rate of consump- tion; 1t is admitted that these figures do not tell the whole story, as the rate of consumption Is bound to increase as the years go by and the autom obile output enlarges The Bureau of Mines Is now engaged upon a special in- .vestigation bearing on the quality Of gasoline, the availability of the supply and the increasing demand-all, with the purpose of assuring a future SUD- ply of gasoline to the public at most reasonable prices. It is also preparing gasoline specifications for the General Supply Committee of the Federal Gov ernment. The sBureau of Standards has a committee of experts at work in its laboratories testing gasoline samples to see if standardization can be attained so that the public may be assured a certain grade of gasoline for a fixed price and so that the refners can make the greatest possible use of the raw oil.

and there have been several spirited contests on the Thames between crews of blind soldiers. This keeps the men in fine physical condition during their training in trades.
 British Trained in Agriculture.
 The maimed British soldiers and sailors are being taught some occupa- ton and large numbers are being in- structed in farming as it is Great Britain's plan to have large agricul- tural colonies of the men who were disa abled in battle and fund of $10- 000.000 is being raised for this pur- pose. Expert agriculturists will aid the farmers who will settle in colonies and work on the community plan. having a general community house where living necessities may be pur- chased and farm products sold for shipment. With this end in view large numbers of wounded men are learn ing the art of gardening. Artificial legs and arms are given to the men, them and walk about the streets of London without the aid of canes.
 Canada is doing likewise as she has decided to take care of her own in- jured soldiers, and before long great community farms managed and worked by the disabled lions whelps" will open up in the great Northwest. Wherever there is an opportunity to do anything by the blind these help less men will be given work Aus tralia will likewise care for her invalid soldiers.

this State; the Mid Con-: 1ent, includ- homa; the North Texas, which em- braces the area its name Implies; the Northwest Louisiana, including areas both in Louisiana and in adjoining portions of Texas; the Gulf, embrac- ing oil pools in Southern Louisiana and Texas. and the Colorado, Wyom- ing and California, including all areas in the States for which 1t is named
 Adjacent to many of these pro- ductive areas already discovered in the major fields are additional areas which may be regarded as prospective oif territory. Taking into account the productive possibilities of both work ing and untested pools, an estimate of 1929, ,000, 900 barrels is made to rep resent the quantity of petroleum that remains available for commercial ex- traction in the United States. Seven and half billions of barrels for the remaining days of humanity, con- sumed at the rate of 266, 100000 bar rels annually! The end may be de- termined with mathematical precision. But even thenSthe figures will not take into account the increasing demand as the years go by.
 This Increase, says Mark l.. Requa consulting engineer of the Bureau of Mines, will not come solely through the extra demand for gasoline and crude oil fuel; but also because of the increasing demand for lubricants.
 ''It has been computed" states Mir Requa. ''that roughly speaking, the
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-01-19

machinery of the nation requires ap- proximately one gallon of oil to each 300 horsepower per day. Every auto mobile built adds to the demand for lubricating oils. every ship launched, every car. every locomotive must be supplied with lubricants. and pe- troleufn is the only known source of supply.
 1n the exhaustion of it's oil lands and with no insured source of do- mestic supply in sight, the United States is confronted with, a national crisis of the first magnitude Petroleum is known to exist in the Philippines. but we have made no effort to de- velop it and now we are soon to sur render the islands Wo must either plan for the future or pass into a state of commercial vassa1age, in time of peace relying on some foreign coun- try for the petroleum wherewith to lubricate the highways of commerce, in time of war at the mercy of the enemy which may either control the source of supply -or the means of transportation"
 Increasing The Gasoline Supply. While such facts in regard to the petroleum situation as a whole appear to forbode ilr. the gasoline production is on the ascendency: that is, scientists have evolved number of processes whereby more gasoline is distilled from crude oils than was even thought possible in former days. The auto mobile engineers have co-operated with the ref1ners and have improved

- HE petroleum problem is setting the world agog!
 Such a drastic measure as - Federal conservation of the crude oil supply of this country is urged by those who are at the head of the petroleum industry and awake to the seriousness of the situation. The operation of upward of 2,500,- 900 automobiles in the United States consuming upward of 80, 100000 bar rels of gasoline q year, Is the great factor which Is causing the rapid ex- haustion of the oil supply. It is pos sible to see from statistics assembled in regard to the future extent of oil production in this country and from comme ercial estimates of the annual consumption of fuel and lubricating oils in the years to come that the source of petroleum may be exhausted within the lifetime of one of Uncle Sam's citizens!
 Should this occur. and 1t will. unless kindly providence intervenes, be- hold the havoc that will be wrought upon the face of the earth. When the last pool Of oil is consumed. lights will so out in homes from Atlantic to Pacific: wheels of industry will cease to whirr: automobiles and motor trucks will lie idle; all ships will lie at anchor-in short. the very back bone of civilization will snap and break.

by which he made hts living before the war.
 An iron moulder who had lost his arms became a mould designer. While he was incapacitated for lifting the heavy moulds he was able by the use of his artificial arms to make drawings for them. A mason who had lost his arms became a stone de- signer, while a man who had been a waiter in a restaurant and who had lost his legs was turned out to be an excellent sign painter. Mem who countants and stenographers are sent to special school, after which they are given places in the Government at Fort Billez is regarded as little short of marvellous. Indeed, it Is a scientific Lourdes in its miracles in the rebuilding of men.
 During the Liege campaign many Belgian soldiers became insane and these are housed in a special hospital and treatment is given in trying to restore their reason. So far there has been little success in this line and many of the men have died.

Hun dreds of cases are hopeless and where these men are in good physical con- dition they are being taught basket making and weaving.
 Rebuilding Faces
 In France the work of rebuilding men is going on in a literal sense. for soldiers whose faces have been shot to pieces are actually having new faces made over the old ones as well as being trained to be self-supporting The mutilation of war is often so horrible as to make the wounded mans appearance so repulsive that even though he might be able to work his appearance would be such that no one would give him employment. So
