Were \ Roswell p. Fowler or a

must be recalled that up to 1910 rail-

mismanagements from the O's to the

Traffic was increasing year by
year. Credit was decreasing year by

while, during the Government tenure,
the railway situation was clarified to
a public whose experience did not be

CRUDE OIL PRODUCTION.

Crude oil production in the United
States for the month of July. accord
ing to figures published by the Geo
logical Survey. amounted to 3S.419. 900
barrels. new high record for all
time. Against this production it is
estimated that consumption amounted
to 442S6.0O0 barrels. causing another
sharp reduction in the supplies on
hand. The daily production during
the past two months averaged about
1.240 900 barrels, also a record. and
which. If continued for one full year,
would represent an annual output OF
10000, 900 barrels. The total produce
tion in 1919. which was the previous
banner year. amounted to 37S.000. 900
barrels. But, in spite of this increase
in output, the oil companies are un-
able to keep pace with consumption,
and as a result prices for oil and oil
products are constantly rising.

In the same period operating expenses
increased pa per cent and operating
revenue 25.4 per cent.

penses for the first four months of
1920 and 1919 show that the revenue

AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY KEPT

Trade Association Largely Responsible for
Expansion of Business Following War.
ORGANIZATION Fifteen Months Old.

No small part of the credit for the
present exceptionally high standing
of the automobile industry in Wash
efforts and splendid organiza ton
work of the Washington Automotive
! Trade Association, a body that came
into being fifteen months ago as an
iOutgrowth of the old Automobile Deal
ers' Association of the city. which
up to that time had spasmodically
looked after the interests of the in
dustry in the capital.
Foreseeing the tremendous expan-
| sion that was bound to follow the
! cessation of -hostilities and realizing
! the necessity of a strong organization
| to cope with the many perplexing
| problems that would naturally arise
in such a rapidly growing industry. in
January, 1919. a few of the younger
and more progressive members of the
| old organization met and incorpo-
rated the present association.
Many of the dealers joined more as
! matter of courtesy than for any
material good to be gained. having
been accustomed to the old order of
their host, for from the first day
| the charter of the new association
! was granted those behind the move
ment went to work in earnest and.
leaving no stone unturned that mlgnt
make for live, up-to-date business
organization. kept hard to their task
| until today the Washington Automo-
tive Trade Association not only in
! cIuGes in it's membership 95 per cent
of the men engaged in the industry
in Washington, but stands out as one
! of the most progressive civic better
ment organizations in the city.
| Cooperation With Policies.
Approaching the crying need of bet
| ter traffic regulations, its traffic COM
mittee has worked necessarily in close
| cooperation with the police depart
; ment to improve conditions along that
line, and the new set of regulations
adopted by the Washington Board of
Trade, which is now being considered
by the congressional committee for
, the District of Columbia is the work
of this committee.
The Washington Automotive Trade
! Association is also responsible for a
new headlight regulation, which has
been highly indorsed by the police
