USE GASOLINE SPAIsINGLY,
Chairman OF Petroleum Committee
Says Consumption Is Ahead of
Supply.

Washington, July 22.-An appeal
ior conservation of the cOuntry's oil
supply by curtailment OF pleasure rid
ing i'm motors and by eliminating 9TH
er sources of waste while production
Is increased was issued tonight by
Chairman A. c.. Bedford of the de-
Tense councils petroleum committee.
MIR. Bedford is president of The
standard Oil Company Of New Jersey.
This country" said the statement
lis producing crude oil at the rate of
about 3O0.O00.OOO barrels a year, but
II is using it at the rate Of 5000, 900
barrels a year. The country is ab
sorbing the entire current production
and drawing very rapidly upon it's re
serve supply.
"The rapid development Of the au-
tomobile is largely responsible for
present conditions. Today there are
more than 100000 cars demanding
over 4O,00O,000 barrels OF gasoline Il
year.
"Recause of the demand. the price
OF crude oil has risen, thus stimulat-
Ing more producers to drill new well
Though this drilling has been going
on with great aggressiveness the re
turns, from such efforts are not as
satisfactory as they were year ago
If our government Is to have the
petroleum 1t will need to prosecute
the war successfully. and supply oil
necessities directly growing out of the
war. two steps will have to be taken,
namely:
II. The public will have to econo-
mize in the use of gasoline. Pleasure
riding should be curtailedI People
should look upon their automobiles as
necessities.
"2 Every oil producer in the coun-
Try should be encouraged as q pa
triotic effort to secure the utmost pos
sible output of crude OIL"
