culture at Washington. giving the figures

It is the present plan to match the
federal appropriation with funds coming
from the s25Wo,oco bond issue, which the
voters will be called upon to favor some
time during February or March of 1920.
Money also to care fo7 federal appropria-
ton each year will core from the twenty

been made clear by the federal govern
ment that Alabama, nor any other STATE
will get penny of the appropriation
until some plan TO match has been made.
Alabama will get millions of dollars from
the United States if Alabama is willing
TO give the same amount. but If Alabama
voters reject the SO, 10000 bond issue Ala
bama will get nothing from the Bank

In view of the situation II is clear ina
every effort must be made not only to
increase our supply of petroleum from
american fields but also take such ac-
ton as will conserve the supply. This can
be done especially with gasoline and
1ubricating oil. 1t has even been sug-
gested that the government at WASH
ington, having knowledge of the need OF
conservation take such action as VIII
tend to secure needed conservation.
Furthermore men of science and inVen-
tors are now busily occupied upon prob
lens which If satisfactorily answered
will demonstrate the way by which large
conservation can be secured especially
in gasoline and lubricating OIL
For instance tests are now under way
for the purpose of demonstrating a new

combination of hydrogen and carbon and
