PREDICTS AN OIL
SHORTAGE In THE
UNITED STATES
CONTINUED FROM PAGE SIX.

ness are neither war profits nor are
they excess profits The business
resembles the search for precious
ore. And this fact was recognized
by member of Congress from one
of the Western States who stated
that prospcctor might roam the
nils for forty years searching for
gold and at last in the year 1914
make a strike. But on account
OF making a large profit during the
war period he would be taxed as
making a war profit, or If he made
a large profit on a small capitalize
ton, he would be taxed on the
theory that he was making excess
profits. And yet in business such
as prospecting for precious metals
and searching for oil the excess
Froft Of one who was successful
represents the loss of many. Large
profits have been made in gold min
ing which might be termed excess
profits and yet the fact is that
more money is spent every wear in
producing or attempting TO pro-
duce gold than the entire value OF
the gold that is produced. An oil
well may produce during the FIRST
few days OF its life so per cent of
the entire production during its
life. Some natural gas wells and
fields and oil wells have been eN-
hausted during the first year. but
il the expenses for drilling are to
be charged of over period OF
three years or more. Mr.. Doherty
wonders what they are to be
charged off against. Few commo-
dities are more greatly needed in
these days Of war by the govern
ment than petroleum.
For that reason as a patriotic mat
ter the oil producers are irving to hold
down prices far below the correspond
ing prices that must be paid for ma
ICrial and labor
Mr. Doherty felt justified in saying
to the committee that the most con.
servative statement that can be uiAda
regarding the existing revenue bill is
that under it the production OF oil IS
seriously diScourage ged and that further
legislation of this character is likely
10 prove n great menace to the public
GOOD. The committee has prepared a
statement which will be or has al
ready been offered to Congress. in
which the views Of these experts re-
spccting the taxation of the oil indus
try are clearly set forth in the hcpa
that Congress will recognize the ncccs-
sity OF so acting with respect TO taxa
ton that the oil industry will be not
IMPAIRED but instead be encouraged.

Good Health Enjoyed

 1 abroad has been excellent. The day. has passed when disease sweeps through armies, causing appalling losses. During the first year in France, General Pershing's army lost only 2.377 per cent of it's working time" through sickness There were 131 ,075 cases of sickness reported and of this number only 923 nien died, less than l per cent. Of those who were sick, s4.36 per cent were returned to duty. The others were put in service suitable to their physical condition, sent away for further corrective treatment, or discharged.
 Communicable diseases, such as humps, measles and scarlet fever, caused 52.44 per cent of the sickness. Mumps brought down more soldiers than any other disease. Diseases of the Respiratory organs, such as pneu- nonia, caused 1920 per cent of the illness. Next to humps, the old-fash- toned kind. bronchitis was the most

Large Increase in
 Gardens This Year

7THE national war garden confmis-
 U sion finds, after a nation wide inquiry, that five million, two hun dred and eighty-five thousand patri- otic gardeners of the United States cultivated home food producing plats this year, being an increase of 51 per cent over the number of gardeners in 1917.
 The value of the products of this years gardens is estimated at $525, ,O0O,O00. As successful as has been the war garden campaign of 1918 there should be still larger in- crease in production in 1919.
 The commission attributes the good results of the campaign to two things: First, the experience gained in the work of 1917, and second, the lnten- sive activities this year and the fine cooperation between employer and employe. In thousands of cases ssacres and acres of gardens were planted with the help of business con- cerns.''

common complaint. Venereal diseases came third.
 It is interesting to note that trench foot, which we used to hear a great deal about in the first year or two of the war, was near the bottom of the list, while German measles ranked lower still and dysentery, which for merly played havoc with armies in the field, was next to the last in the list of diseases.
 This record is splendid testimonial to the efficiency of our medical of ficers. Despite severe winter, new climate, which varied considerably, and the necessity of practically all sanitary arrangements having to be made by our troops in France, they were a remarkably healthy body of men. 7
