The enormous recent increase in the use of gasoline and other derivatives of crude petroleum and the belief that nearly half the total amount of oil originally stored in the ground in the Un.ted -ates has been consumed have led those who are closely associated With the oil industry to regard as very valuable any new information which may aid in discovering new fields or in increasing the production from the oil fields. A report just pI1iished by the United States Geological Survey, Department of the Interior, as Bulle- tin 693. based on investigations made in the Appalachian field by Messrs E. Van A. Mills and Roger c. Wells, con- tains many new facts concerning oiI- field waters which may be of service in solving the problem of increasing the countrys production of oil.
 In general oil and gas occur not in large caverns or in underground lakes but in minute open spaces between the grains of porous sandstones. The oil

 Six Months Showing.
 Having completed the accounts of the Shore Line road for the first half of the year. President Perkins issued the following statement Wednesday:
 The books of the Shore Line Flee tric Railway Go for the six months ending June 3oth, 1919, are just closed and they show that the gross earnings in all departments were $820,S32.35, and the operating ex- penses were sS47. 7.35e.26 showing a loss exclusive of taxes of s26.526.91.
 Rental amounting to S112oe34S The taxes amount to S35.4o6.41, show ing a loss in operation of S61,933.32. for the six months was not earned and the interest on bonds amounting to $so,oo0 was not earned.
 It will then be seen that had the owners on January 1st presented this property to the employees. they would have been obliged to assess themselves to make good a loss of S173,996.75 to keep the cars moving to June 30th, 1919.
 It has been suggested that our trouble is largely the result of high salaries paid to the officers. If the general officers had all worked for nothing and paid out of their pockets the insurance, injury and damage claims, garage and stable expenses; paid the salaries of all general of fee clerks, and all other general ex- penses, they would still have to assess themselves s68.2S2.21.
 Under these corcum stances are hicher wages or salaries possible?
 Can we assume increase in operat ing expenses until the necessary money hae been collected from the street railway riders?
