WHAT OIL MEN ARE DOING

Ae few days ago Walter Clark Teagle spoke briefly at a gathering at Tor onto. Can. He must have met at that gathering many with whom he former ly had friendly acquaintance for it was as president of the Imperial Oil com pany of Canada that MT. Teagle served in chief executive capacity for some years before he was called to the pres- idency of the Standard Oil company of New Jersey He spoke earnestly of the necessity of conserving the oil re- sources not only of the American hem isphere but also of the world. Few persons realize the magnitude of the extent to which the products of crude oil variously refined and utilized en- ter into modern American industrial life. The demand for these products is so great as to cause concern lest our supply of oil be exhausted Some of the experts have. stated that at the present rate of consumption the oil resources of the United States will have been exhausted before 20 years have passed. unless there be discovered new fields containing abundant oil re- sources.
 For this reason capital and scientific ability have combined for the purpose of learning whether the vast deposits of shale in the far west can be so handled as to yield very large supplies of oil. Already the experts report that this shale oil is perhaps the best producer of gasoline of any of the American oils. But there is the cost of so hand ling the shale and so transporting it as to make the oil that it contains available, and that is one of the most important of the problems so far as the commercial availability of American shale for oil producing purposes is concerned If that problem is satis- factorily answered by scinece and by capital, the United States will be abun-

 During the twenty years and more since Hobson sunk the Merrimac. he would have been promoted from time to time. At the beginning of the world war he would in all probability have been rear admiral During the war he would have distinguished himself for he has genius and daring and a love of danger promising reward in the shape of international praise. And in all probability he would have been today an officer of "s high rank as the country can confer

THE DAY OF FUEL OIL

Gradually ocean going steamers were equipped with oil burning apparatus with satisfactory results so that al last it became evident to Headers in the oil industry that very great demand for fuel oil would come. It was estimated that if all of the ocean crossing stem CTS were thus equipped there would not be at present sufficient fuel oil to opearte them. For it was demonstrated that not less than 600,000 900 barrels of fuel oil would be required each year if all steam propelled vessels were equipped with oil burning apparatus.
 Therefore leaders in the oil industry sent experts here and there for the pur pose of learning whether in other parts of the American hemisphere crue oil of the kind best adapted for fuel purposes could be discovered and if discovered exploited These experts learned that upon the northern coast of South America and in some parts of Central America there are vast de- posits of the heavy oil which is es- pecially adapted to fuel purposes. These by and by will supplement the present import into the United States of heavy fuel oil and very likely refineries will be established by and by with American capital upon the northern coast ot South America.

Sixth district. elected Mir. Bankhead to the senate.
 After serving a number of years in aspired to the Senate He entered into a sensational campaign against Oscar W. Underwood. For months the atten- brilliant battle. And then the people spoke Mir. Underwood was sent to the senate by majority approximating 3S.- Ooo votes.
 Mir. Hobson retired to Tuxedo Park. New York. When, however, W. B. Bank head announced for Congress from the newly created Tenth district Captain Hobson returned to Alabama. He changed his residence from Greensboro. in the Sixth, to Jasper, in the Tenth made the change on a postal card, as it were, and for the specific purpose of winning seat in congress.
 But he lost. He then renounced his residence in Jasper and Alabama and became citizen of Illinois.
 CONCERNING THE CHOICE
 The people of Alabama would differ were they to discuss the wisdom of Captain Hobson in retiring from the navy immediately after his brilliant ex- ploit. Captain Hobson would very prob ably express himself as being entirely satisfied for he thinks the victorious campaign against liquor-if it is or ever will be victorious-a fight for the win ming of which he was directly respon- sible.

YIELDS HIS FAME

There is no question that for the en- tire twenty years he would have been Alabamas own hero, the boast and toast of the state. There is no question but that at the conclusion of the recent war Alabama would have swelled with pride as the nation-as the world-did him honor.
 And there is no question but that in the end he would have been given a niche in the hall of fame. there to re- main as long as time a beloved figure in the history of his country.
 As it is, Captain Hobson is undoubted- ly satisfied, unquestionably thinks that he made the proper choice. But the

HIS EARLY GLORY

Captain Hobson first attracted atten- tion when he sunk the collier Merrl- mac, in Santiago bay. That was scin- tillating and heroic achievement and because that achievement failed of it's purpose it detracted nothing from his glory. or diminished the deluge of flat terv which an appreciative nation rushed to accord.
 Immediately thereafter Captain Hobson toured the United States His march was triumph. Each city strove to outpoint it's neighbor in Showering hon ors upon him. Fair women became rl- vaIs in efforts to move him with lablai caresses. It was a new day in the his- tory of the nation, and a novel and epochal experience in the life of the young seaman.
 Then developed eye trouble He sought retirement, but after an exam ination by naval opticians, his petition was denied. Thereupon, he resigned. and after having become accomplished in a school of oratory emerged into a political career which divided the peo- pIe of the state, all of whom thereto fore were friends, into rival camps of friends and enemies.
 HIS POLITICAL FAILURE

 MOVES IN WAVES Country Just Recovering From Third Wave Within
 the Past Year
By Asseeiated rsrsss

London, March 4-London scientists who are observing the operations of Span ish influenza say that, so far as the Brit ish Isles are concerned, it moves in waves. The country is just recovering from the third wave within year.
 The disease first made its appearance here last July and began to subside to- ward the end of August. Eight weeks later, in October, it reappeared and by the middle of November had apparently run it's course. The third wave came in January, and by the early days of March had apparently done it's worst
 Physicians point out that if the dis ease is to remain for an indefinite period another wave may be expected toward the end of April, and are warning the people to take all necessary precautions.
