importance Of Petroleun

Tt has required his war to awaken
England to the importance of the petro-
leum Industry to any and every civilized
country" declared Prot. Charles Green
way, president of the Institution of Pc
troieufn Technologists.
The Importance of the petroleum in
dustry to the civilized world develops
with the course of years, but in this
country it is so far only in it's infancy.
lt rs only now, as a lesson of this terrible
war, that we are awakened to the fact
that petroleum. and the securing of our
own sources OF supply of this valuable
commodity. are a national necessity, not
only for the great economic struggle
which will certainly take place between
the chief commercial nations after the
of this war, but as a safe
guard against this country ever again be-
ing drawn into such a barbarous and de-
structive conflict as that in which we are
now engaged.
Until within the past few years petro-
leufn was only regarded as being of value
ior the production of artificial light, Luz
bricating oils and wax, but later develop
ments have shown that its greater value
lies In what were formerly regarded as
merely it's Observation-Disclosures and fuel
Tor motive power, solvents for a host of
chemical and allied processes, drystuffsH in
various manufacturers, unguents in phar-
macy, 1ellies and aromatic hydrocarbons
Tor high explosives. 1t is, l think. no ex-
agSeration to say that the demand for
ahese .so-called by-products, and the uses
20 which they will be put as time goes or
are practically il~limitable."

one-sided Recognition.

They passed on the street without
speaking-but. their eyes held mutual
recognition and challenge. She was
accompanied by a female friend, and
he had a male companion. When they
had passed, the girl said:
That was poor Jack Jurgens. He
didn't speak, but you noticed his look,
didn't you? Poor boy-it hurts me to
think how he has never got over my
refusal to marry him. OF course, he
was all broken up at the time, but /
thought he would soon get over it. He's
thinner, isn't he? I do hope that he
hasn't plunged into dissipation. He
couldn't trust himself to speak, could
he? Oh, dear"
And the was saying:
did you see how that dame gave me
the eye? l suppose l should have
spoken to her, because / can't help
thinking I've met her somewhere-her
face is familiar, but / can't place her.

EdIson,s Example.
From the Ottawa Citizen.


Invited by the president to come to
Washington to meet the mempers of the
Franco British mission, Thomas Edison
replied that he was too busy. Urged to
go again by the statement that the dele
gates were very anxious to meet him,
Edison retorted that he wa too busy. The
secretary Of wal wired Edison asking him
to come as a personal favor. The inventor
replied that he was too busy. This is re-
freshing. At least one man knows enough
to stick to the job in hand and forgo
~pleasantries. And an additional signifi-
canoe Is given to the refusal of Edison to
leave his work even for a day by the
statement that the inventor has finally
got his hands on a solution of the under
sea boat menace. # his should prove
to be true, the civilized world will hail
the famous American as the inventive
genius of the century. The incident has
q moral side, too. Anything worth while
Is aeseomplished only by sticking to it.
And Edison has taught the country a les
son in another way. He has shown it Tux,
his is the time for work by those in posi-
ton to do something to help the nation
and its allies. Talk is perhaps important
by those whose business it is to exhort
and point the way, but the worker who
knows what is required of him has M
excuse for lingering to listen TO the eS-
change of either amenities or c~ongratuia
tons.

High Heels and the Future of the Race. b
From the Omaha Rec b

High Heels and the Future OF the Race.
From the Omaha Bee.
Illinois solons nave tackled the prob
lem Of life at the very bottom. A l~egis,a-
i've committee at Springfield has presented
a bill designed to limit the heigh OF the
shoe heel, setting one and one-half inches
as the maximum altitude to be permitted.
Defending the measure in advance, that
committee sets up the possible detriment
to future generations from the present day
fashions. 1t doesn't suggest the trans-
mission from mother to child of the tip
tilted tootsies nowadays shown to all who
care to look, but gives some vague hints
as to what might occur in the way of
pedal deformity.
A better reason for opposing the high
heeled shoe rests on it's influence on the
Wearer. Little reason exists to appre-
bend a future race of crooked toed men
and women, coming through heredity, but
the immediate effect is ~undeniable. Like
many others of the extreme fashions of
the day.. 1t is open to question as to
whether it enhance the appearance, while
1t surely does not conduce to comfort. The
proposed law might have some effect, but
this is doubtful. Lawmakers as far bach
as Moses, and even beyond him, have tried
to tell lovely woman what she may or may
not wear, while she has adopted or dis
carded apparel to suit her own fancy,
Whim or convenience. If she wants to
wear high heeled shoes, she'll do it, n
Let posterity take it's chances.

ever. according to the promoters of this
worthy organization, the membership to

whose LANG holdings range from 40 acres

IN TINS day of national peril, when the

by the weight Of his acreage, any move

Sailed Fish Popular Food.

How to conserve the fish supply IS
n of the subjects receiving careful
attention by the British board Of trade
III conjunction with the board OF agri-
culture. One OF the methods which
will probably be adopted Is file driving
or sailing OF a much larger proportion
of the daily catch than at present, so
as TO prevent waste by the fish getting
our of condition. Sailed haddock are
already being placed on the market in
considerable quantities as in expert
ment. They sell at about II cents a
pound retail, and are very palatable.
One method of preparing is to boil the
fish, throw away the water, and boil
up again, but If it is washed to get rid
Of practically all the salt the paddock
should also be soaked in cold water for
"a hours before cooking.

CARS ANSWER TO PEOPLE
"Forget Your senseless Dreams" Was
Reply to Modest Request for
Chamber of Representatives.

An incident which occurred at the
very beginning of Nicholas IFS reign
is very characteristic of the attitude
Of the former emperor toward any
share of the people in the government
Of Russia, writes A. N. Sakhnovsky, in
Worlds Work.
A deputation of the foremost repre-
sentatives Of the Russian nobility was
sent to bring congratulations to the
new emperor. Very bright hopes were
connected with the ascendance to the
throne of the young monarch, after a
period. Of gloomy reaction during the
reign of his father, Alexander III,
and in consequence, it was decided to
present to him through a delegation of
the mobiles an extremely modest sup
plication in favor Of an embryo cham
Der of representatives, the only pro-
posed right of which was the right
to be consulted by the emperor when.
ever 1t pleased him.
The delegation, composed of highly
respected and venerable elderly gen
tlemen, numbering several hundred,
was llneu IN the big hall of the Win
ter palace in Petrograd and kept stand
ing in a military order and in complete
silence for more than two hours.
AT last a detachment of dismount-
ed lorseguards in top-boots and with
huge swords, hurriedly entered the
hall with a terrific noise and placed
itself in front of the awe-stricken dele
CATION.
Then the tiny emperor, in Wild ex-
element, rushed in and, pacing up
and down the hall in the midst Of the
g~iant>soldiers and shouting at the ven
cradle gentlemen, delivered a brief but
very definite speech, the gist of which
consisted of the following expression:
Forget your senseless dreams!"
