To BRING
BIG INCREASE IN
OIL OPERATIONS
~ ao.n,no .ovsaAt SPECIAL ,s.sto wael


Dallas. Tex. Dec. 25.-Big oil pro-
ducers of the Southwest predict that
peace will bring Increased production
and increased consumption of fuel
oil, lubricating oil. and gasoline.
They declare that to meet specifi-
cations for high grade fuel oil for
admiralty purposes ii was necessary
to refine much crude oil under waste
full conditions, which will not obtain
in the future.
Increased consumption, producers
say, will result from neutral markets
repleuishing their stocks. from more
general use of motor cars in Euro
pean countries that have been at war
and from the use in Great Britain,
France. and Italy of thousands of
motor lorries, now in the war zone,
as auxiliary systems of overworked
railways.
But this increased demand will be
more than offset by Increased pro-
duction, officers of the large Texas
companies declare. Production in
the North Texas field now is 60 1000
barrels a day, the Gulf field is pro-
ducing $4,000 barrels the Kansas
fields $4,000 barrels, the Oklahoma
fields outside of Cushing and Heal
ton, 142. 1000, the Cushing 44,500 and
the Healton 42,500. The Texas fig
ures show an increase over figures
for the quarter ending September 80,
which gave the total production as
9,244,S14 barrels, valued at $1S,09l,-
249 This was an increase of more
than n million barrels over the June
quarter and two million over the
March quarter.
Experts here say the Mexican fields
alone have a potential production of
900, 900 barrels day
Producers predict that with the
extension of the oil fields, oil sta
tions will be established at ports
throughout the world and permit of
further adoption by ships of oil burn
ing power systems.

TAHITI ISLAND
IS HARD HIT BY
INFLUENZA WAVE
10y sopsrso Jouss.L srrc,sL LEASED w,psl


Papete, Tahiti, Dec. (MaiD. -
Influenza has turned the Island OF
Tahiti in a charnel place, At the
crest of Papeete burn great pyres
with the stark. sheet covered bodies
of many native waiting to be thrown
into the glowing ashes of those who
have been consumed by the flames.
The Associated Press correspondent
has learned that fully one-seyenth of
the population of Papeete are dead.
In almost every native home families
are with no medicine and little at
tention, while the fever consumes
their lives. They beg in vain for food.
Those Europeans and Americans
who escaped the disease formed
volunteer corps to carry food and
medicine to the sick and to take
measures for the disposal of the dead.
But the situation grew enormously,
and soon got out of hands. The
deaths became so numerous in the
past week that the bury the victims
was impossible. Only the pyre was
left.
The start of the epidemic has been
traced to the arrival of steamer
here on November II with many
cases on board.

NOT NECESSARY TO
CASH WAR STAMPS

Washington, D. c.. Dec. 25-To
clear away a mistaken idea reported
from many sections that war savings
certificates must be cashed before
January first, Lewis b. Franklin, di-
rector of war loan organization today
issued this statement:
War savings stamps and thrift
stamps are as good as gold whether
your certificate or thrift card is COM
vletely filled or not. The idea that
untitled certificates must be cashed
before Jauary is absolutely base
less. The government will continue
to sell thrift stamps so that you can
fill out these cards and exchange
them for the 1919 issue or war saw

They will also make a film of the great parade of the fra ternity preceding the ceremonies
 These scenes will doubtless be ex- plotted as current feature pictures and shown with the photo-weekly series throughout the country. Thus will Bir- mingham get additional and valuable ad- vertising city of note wherever a movie show is operated.
 When the companies learned that fully 1o,0o0 Masons, Knights Templars, Shrin- erl and ladies of the Eastern Star, as we'll as national, state, county and city officials would take part, and that the city was to be gorgeously decorated along the line of march and a half holiday de- clared, they awoke to the importance of the occasion and readily agreed to send their operators here to catch the scenes.

WORK OF NEGRO
 AVERTS DISASTER Broken Trolley Wire Threat ems Life of the Travel

A broken trolley wire which fell at Eighth avenue and Fourteenth street last night at S:15 o'clock, sending shower after shower of sparks into the air ad threatening the lives of pass ersby, was prevented from doing injury to anyone hy tho quick action of F. S. Sharpe. negro. living at 6os North Fourteenth street.
 Seeing the wire fall. and realizing the danger in which the pedestrians and drivers were unknowingly thrown. Sharpe rushed into the street and waving his hat as a flag, succeeded danger of the wire. which carried a voltage heavy enough to destroy in- stantly any life with which it came in contact.
 An outbound Owenton -Insley car was the first upon the scene. By tho time of it's arrival line of ears and pedestrians were lined on either side of the street, being kept back by the untiring efforts of the negro. When the Birmingham Railway Light ant Power company officials arrived. they found Streeh ears, aulolHpbileS, motor.ScicS' bicycles and pedestrians lined in great throngs about the danger zone.
 Probably many lives were saved by the quick understanding of the situa- ton by Sharpe. In q short time han dreds of people had gathered at the scene and the negro was showeref with coins from the crowd for the part he had played in preventing many peo- pie from being killed or crippled from a cause of which they were in com plete ignorance
