WHO SAID GAS SHORTAGE?"
 FIGURES FAIL TO SHOW IT

The price of gasoline may continue to go up, but the rise cannot be attrib- uted to the usual demand and supply alibi. For, in this case, the supply far exceeds the demand and shows no sign of decrease as far in the future as authorities can see.
 This is the outstanding fact brought out by the investigation of the Y. :. Bureau of Mines into the gasoline , situation in this country. In a single month, the report shows, 63,000 900 more gallons of the fuel were produc- ed than were consumed!
 1 In addition, the Federal Trade Com mission comes out with the statement that "the gasoline scare has been largely psychological and that con ditions in 1920 appear to have been greatly improved"
 Figures compiled by the Bureau of Mines confirm this statement Re serve stocks of gasoline on hand, ac- cording to the bureaus report, to- tailed more than 626,000,000 gallons | for the month of March alone. Ship ments of the oil from Mexico have been almost doubled, last years inn portation of crude oil from that coun- try having been 52,662,000 barrels. : Government engineers and geolo- gists add there is to be big future for gasoline production from shale and from the use of the new "crack- ing' process.
 1 David White, of the '. s. Geologi- cal Survey, reports there are infinite possibilities in oil obtained from shale deposits, which as yet have not been tapped in large quantities. "These shale deposits" says White, fare cap able of giving oil in amounts far great CT than all the available natural pc 1 troleum of this hemisphere" By use of the cracking process, Middle West refiners are getting 9 per cent yield from crude oil, while only from 12 to P per cent is obtain ed by the old way. Use of the new method. generally, it is said, would increase the production of gasoline fully 50 per cent.
 Still, the National Automobile Cham Der of Commerce urges conservation of gasoline as far as possible.
 Motorists should continue to save gasoline" says this body. since the use of 7.50O,O0O cars in this country means that the action of the separate units may have great influence on the total consumption.
 Motor vehicles are the heaviest users of gasoline. automobile con sumption in 1919 being 3,167654, 400 gallons out of the total consumption of 3,SOS, ,390,649 gallons It is estimat- ed that passenger car uses 300 gal Ions of gasoline yearly and motor truck 1900 gallons
 The worlds deposits of crude oil total 6O,O0O ,000,000 barrels, according
Bisbee daily review., 1920-07-18

to estimates of the United States Ge- ological Survey. At the present rate of consumption this would be enough to last the United States 16S years. There are still 7,629,OOO,OOO barrels In the oil fields Of this country, or enough to last twenty years at our present rates of consumption.
 Additional sources of oil are prom ised with the passage by Congress last session of the oil leasing bill Much is hoped for from Wyoming and some sections of California.

The next five years will see the expenditure of more than S635,000,- 900 for good roads in at least 37 states of the union The total amount proposed and authorized for road i'm provement is far above the billion mark. This increased interest in bet ter roads can be compared with that of 1918, when $500 ,O0O, ,00O was spent for road construction throughout the country.
 A common, but at the same time mysterious, cause of an engine miss ing explosions is water in the car bureter. If the engine skips, try draining the carbureter. Catch some of the fuel in the hand. If globules form on top, there is water in the gasoline.
 Figuring the relation of motor cars to area, we find that Kansas City, Mo-, is the most auto-covered city in the United States. In that city, IS square miles in area. there are 2S,- 900 machines, or 1855 to each square mile. The second city is Milwaukee, Wis, with 37,000 autos covering. it's 25 square miles, and the third is Cleveland, which has S0,000 cars in it's 56 square miles.

WOOD FORCES
/. AHEAD IN RACE

Trenton, New Jersey, April 28.--
Major General Leonard Wood took the
lead early today in the New Jersey
presidential preferential primaries.
With unofficial returns from 1903 dis
tricts out of zoos reported, Wood was
leading johnson by TAO votes, Wood
getting 4S,390 to Johnson's 47,650.
The race will remain in doubt un-
til all election districts are heard from.
An official recount may be needed to
decide the result
The fead see-sawed between John
son and Wood as the vote was counted
from the time the first returns were
reported. United States Senators
Lodge and Frelinghuysen, who an
nounced they will support the presi-
Dental candidate who received the en-
iorsement in the preferential primar-
les at the convention, were probably
chosen. Governor Stokes, pledged to
support Wood, was running third and
had commanding lead.
The fourth place was in doubt, with
State Senator Runyon pledged for
Wood, leading the field by a narrow
margin.
Returns on the results of district
delegates vote, were slowly being tab
ulated. Indications were that the
twenty-four district delegates would
probably be split between johnson and
Wood, with Wood taking the majority.

FINAL RESULTS
STILL IN DOUBT

New York, April 2s.-Final results
of the most hectic day in the precon-
vention campaign was still in doubt to-
day. Incomplete returns from yester-
days primaries showed:
! New Jersey, Republicans: Major
| General Leonard Wood leading Sena-
tor Johnosn by an extremely narrow
margin. Wood appeared to have the
majority Of the twenty-eight dele
gates.
Democrats. Governor Edward /.
Edwards was practically unopposed
for the state endorsement and appar-
ently will receive the support of the
twenty-eight delegates to the national
convention.
Ohio, republicans: Unofficial returns
from more than half of the state pre-
cincts showed Senator Warren Hard
ing leading General Wood by 3,476
votes. Harding's managers claimed
AZ of the 48 delegates, while Wood
supporters claimed 8. Johnson and
Hoover received written in votes.
Democrats: Governor James Cox
had no opposition for the democratic
endorsement and will receive the state
entire delegation Of 48.
Massachusetts, republican,: With
practically complete returns in, Gen.
eral Wood probably will receive six of
the states thirty-fve delegates. The
others are unpledged, but will cast
their first ballot in the convention for
Calvin Coolidge. There was no pre-
ferential vote.
Democrats: The democratic dele
cation of thirty-six will go unpledged
There was no preferential vote.
Washington: Republicans in state
yesterday pledged their en-
tire delegation of fourteen to Sena-
tor Miles Poindexter A favorite son.
Idaho: Republicans meeting today
were expected to select Senator Will
liam Borah's slate Of eight delegates.
He has been campaigning for Johnson.
Exclusive of New Jersey and ac-
:epting the claims of the Wood organi-
cation in Ohio and Massachusetts, the
stand of the republican candidates to
lay as regards instructed delegates is:
Wood 80, Lowden 70, johnson 81,
AZ, Poindexter IA.
Granting claims of uninstructed
delegates, the standing would be:
Wood III, Lowden 1871, Nicholas NJ.
Butter 88, Johnson 81, Harding AZ,
Coolidge 20, Judge j. C. Pritchard of
North Carolina % and Poindexter IA.
Cox has assumed the leadership
among the democrats.

URGED NOT TO
REDUCE ACREAGE

I Washington, April q. - Spring
wheat growers in the northwest are
urged by the department of agricul
ture to give careful consideration te
existing conditions before they reduce
their acreage this year, in state
ment issued today. The department
states that the estimated production
is 1851, 900 bushels of winter wheat
this year, based on April l condi-
tions, againts 73l $4,000 bushels OF
last year. This crop is likely to be Sc
riously affected by the Hessian fly and
the grasshopper menace.
The carry over of 16O,OO0,OOO from
last years crop is principally winter
wheat of low milling quality. Stocks
on hand in the three principal spring
wheat states, Minnesota, North and
South Dakota, are only about half as
large as a year ago.
Reports from the spring wheat re-
gion indicate that many farmers are
likely to reduce their acreage of this
crop. Whether conditions have not
favored sprngi work and the serious
shortage of farm labor also has af-
fected planting," the statement says
The supply of hired fran labor in the
country is only about Y per cent of
the normal supply compared with ap-
proximately "a per cent of the nor
NAL supply year ago.
''The poor condition of the winter
wheat crop, together with the appar-
emily continuing world demand for
wheat, may justify farmers in the
spring wheat belt in revising their
plans in order to increase planting of
the spring crop in spite of difficulties.
1.-THE normal wheat requirements of
the United States for consumption and
are about 800,000,O00 bushels.
Of this only 483,610,OO0 bushels is in
dictated from the winter wheat crop.
World conditions do not indicate fall
ing off in demand, although southern
Russia is reported to have $4,000, 900
bushels for export this year. There is
some question, however, to whether
Russia can export because Of the dis
of transportation IA
cilities. Austria has a short crop and
probably will have no wheat for ex-
port during the next two years. Own
rs of old wheat in storage are not per-
mitted to ship. it out of Australia. The
crop appears to be fair.
"While there are many factors yet
which are likely to af-
feet the production this year, the ex-I
isting shortage of spring wheat of sat-
isfactory milling quality indicates
of continued actice demand
for high grade spring wheat from the
new CROP
