Oil and Gas Journal: |. Kimura,
a member OF the official staff OF the
Nippon Oil Company OF Toxic,
Japan, arrived in Tulsa last week on
tour of observation. lie is a pc
troleum engineer and specializes in
refining activities. The visitor is in
terested in ascertaining il there are
any new developments in the appll-
cation OF cracking processes in
America. lie visited oil districts in
California and Wyoming before
coming here and was much interest
ed in the progress of oil affairs in
the places visited. fIe says that the
japanese oil industry is growing in
importance. owing to the increased
demand for the products OF the
wells. In Japan these is high
grade oil similar to that OF the
PENNSYLVANIA fields in this country.
Likewise low grade oil similar to
that found in California is a prod
uct OF some OF the Japanese fields.
Mr.. Kimura states that war matters
are of vital interest i'll lapan at TINS
time and reports much enthusiasm
over prospects of an allied victory.
Toxic, Mr.. Kimura says, is a big,
busy city. combining ancient and
modern features. While many Am
erican ideas are applied there and
strictly modern conveniences are IN
evidence the American sky scrap
er is noticeably absent, The many
earthquakes in our country, said
the man from Toxic, render the
skyscraDer proposition Impractical
ble.' He denied the rumar that
Japanese capitalists are to take up
an abandoned oil concession former
" held by American interests in
China.

IN MERRIE ENGLAND

London, Aug. 25.-(Correspond'
ence of The Associated Press BE
fore the war the people of this coun-
try spent $S00,000.00O a year for
drink. Now they spend 81 100000
GOO. Nevertheless therei not hall
the drunkenness in these wartimes
that there was in 1913. Heavy taxa.
tiOn to provide war funds accounts
for the public's increased drink bill
not further indulgence. In fact, ex-
ccssive drinking has declined more
than so per cent, and there has been
an enormous gain in national ef-
ficiency.
All this has come about. Lord
D'Abernon. chairman of the Liquor
Control Moard. told The Associated
Press. as a result OF the war regula-
tions introduced by the government
There is great ground for hope.
he said. that the progress made
toward temDerance under war CON
ditions don't be lost. that it will be
continued by postwar action along
lines similar to the restrictions now
in force"
Such action must come. if taken,
from Parliament. The life OF the
present regulations will terminate
one year after peace has been de-
clared. According to Lord D'Aber-
non, it is certain that the country
never will go back to pre-war con-
ditions.
The boards regulations limiting
the hours for the sale OF liquor, cut
ting down the alcoholic content of
both spirits and beer. and abolish
ing treating were taken to rather
kindly, on the whole, in Lord
D'Abernon's opoinion.
There has been very little fric-
ton" he said. I'VE have had some
complaints to the effect that it
costs an enormous amount OF money
to get drunk now but that is exactly
what should be the case The
question OF the price of alcoholic
drinks compared to that OF food is
very important. If liquor is too
cheap that fact leads to overindulg
ence. The duty OF beer is now seven
times what it was tenyears ago. and
the duty on spirits also has been
greatly increased.
1T is clear that public opipion
will not tolerate return to the bad
conditions VIII II undoubtedly
existed before the war. 1t is
recognized that the present system
affords a basis for permanent
settlement OF the drink question ac-
ceDtable to all
More than twice as much money
is spent in England for drink as for
bread, and the outlay just about
equals the expenditures for meat.
