RAT GASOLINE
DID IN THE WAR
Beat All Records And Can
Never Do 1t Again,
Says Manning.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 25.-
re floated to victory on wave Of
~, said g British admiral in the first
enthusiastic moments following the
fnistice.
Just how much truth there is in this
biirTah statement has just been dis.
closed by Van. H. Manning, director
4 oE the Bureau OF Mines, Department OF
The Interior, in the yearly statement on
the production Of gasoline in this
country.
In 1916, before the United States en-.
tered the war, according to the state
ment the production of gasoline was a
lattle short Of fifty million barrels. In
1917, when war activity was accelerat-
"a by the entry Of the United States
into the war, the production of gaso.
line had increased to nearly sixty.
eight million barres, an increase of
more than fifty thousand barrels a
day.
1t was thought by many that this
must be the peak of American patriot
q effort, but in 1918, when the war
had assumed even greater proportions,
the production of gasoline was over
eighty-fIve million barrels, an increase
y for the year Of more than seventeen
million barrels. The daily increase
Tor this year over the record.breaking
year Of 1917 was about forty-seven
thousand barrels for each Of the 365
days, or almost as much more as the
Increase Of the previous year.
How this country sent an ever in
creasing flood Of this gasoline to the
allies and to friendly countries is seen
"a the export figures. In 1916 there
we're 8,473, 102 barrels of gasoline sent
abroad. In 1917 this amount had in
creased to 9,9O1,S barrels an increase
OF about 1000 barrels a day. In 1918
these exports had reached total of
13,312,50S barrels, an increase OF near.
lg 10000 barrels day over the year
1917.
II Is the opinion of Mr.. Manning that
no single industry in this country OF
80 important nature ever made such
& showing in a single year and he
doubts Il the future will ever show
such q record OF achievement.
