GOOD OIL STOCKS VS. BAD
 (By Wm C. Van Antwerp in Wall Street JournaD

The crucial situation in oil opens Up an inviting tleld for thought in oil securities. The demand for light gravity oils rich in gasoline and lu- NIicanus exceeds the supply. Many rev companies are being formed to develop an increased production, >,lalic many others are be,ng formed to profit at the expense ot unwary victims. ''The oil boom, like the i..mlng boom,' says the Worlds work for July, attracts two kinds --tnose who come to aid in the pro- ductlon of oll-to tap natures re- sources; and those who come to tap the pubilc's pocketbook. The latter are che williams of the oil drama" ;" ne district attorney IS ever on the heels of these rascals, yet he sell uCm Overtakes them. Meanwhile, they wax tat on the wages of sin, for thelr victims are most credulous when they are most happy, and they are most happy when they thlnk they are making money.
 Again there IS another class of oil ccmpanles that enter upon their de- veiopment work III gooa taitn, earn cslly believing in the value or their properties. Otter they lack working capital and must seek 1t in the se- curlty market through the sale of stock. Often, too, thelr hlgh hopes are dashed, bringing loss and hard ship to themselves and their follow CTS. For the purchasers of all new oil securities 1t is case Of caveat eniptor.
 EOrf unoc Madn and net
 Fortunes are to be made in the good companies; fortunes are to be l0st m the bad ones. How to choose now to determine the good ones, IS a problem difficult to solve unless one IS tamlliar with the oil business. What IS more important, one must know not merely the properties involved, but the character and reputation ot the men behlnd them ,the ability of their geologlsts, produclng starr and le1lnefS, and the marketing organlza- ton that handles the finished pro- duct. Especial stress Is laid upon this point because today the really large profits Tn oil arise not from pfoduction, but from refining and marketing. The new company that does not follow through from the well to the consumer with complete and efficient organization all the way, is a company to be avoided by invest ors and spectators. The importance of this warning will be understood from the fact that the value of the Standard Oil company's producing properties represents but IF per cent. of its tctal, according to the Wall Street Journal. All the rest, more than S2,502, ,000,O00, represents the value of the refining and marketing companies.
 On Guard.
 On one other point the buyer of new oil securities must be everlast- ingly on guard. The depletion of our
