Good Evening
BY Roy X. Moulton

Word comes2from Washington, D. c.
of a very remarkable game of poker.
One dealing resulted in three royal
bushes. 1t was claimed that, in this
manner, oil records in the history OF
the game were broken.
Personally. we don't know very
much about poker and, We may add
tnat we don't believe anybody else
does. but we do not think the game at
Washington established any record at
all. A short time ago we witnessed
another friendly game which was more
remarkable than the Washington con-
test. This game was held on Long Is.
land and the gentlemen engaged were
all friends. 1t was not in any respect
Il professional game.
There was a showdown Of three
hands. The first man had three aces
and a pair of kings, the second man
had three aces and a pair of queens
and the third man had three aces and
a pair of Jacks. The first man claimed
the money, and it was given him by
mutual consent. 1t was a gentlemens
game. of course, and nobody was I'M
kind enough to call attention to the
fact that there were nine aces in the
deck. It was sort of a strange thing
however, and we doubt if such deal
ever happened before or since.

Safeguarding Our Oil, Supply

America is consuming three-fourths of the
worlds oil. Our consumption of oil is greater
than that of any nation of the globe. We are
consuming more oil than we produce. We have
been drawing heavily on the oil output of Mexico,
consuming three-fourths of the output of it's
wells. .>-
Our consumption is increasing rather than
diminishing. The growth of the automobile in
dustry has been rapid that it is estimated that
the United States will use 80O,OOO,OOO barrels of
oiffor its automobiles alone by 1925.
While this consumption is annually increasing
we are doing nothing to assure an adequate SUD-
Eply@for the future says an investigator for The

steps that will give her the mastery of the oil
situation of the world

Gay control three-quarters of the reserve oil ter

States will be practically exhausted in twenty
years. England is helping to exhaust American

is exhausted the sooner her great holdings OF re-
serve territory in other quarters of the world will
make her complete master of the petroleum mar
ket.
For more than ten years the Pearson inter-
ests which are now controlled by the British gov
eminent, have held great oil territories in Next
co through concessions. In most of these oil
fields not so much as a post hole has been sunk,
although the Pearson interests have made con-
siderable development on privately owned leases.
Three years ago the Mexican government quite
properly decided that all holders of oil property
in Mexico ought either to do certain amount of
developing or to pay taxes to the government.
On May Is, 1917 accordingly, the Mexican gov
eminent put into effect law which declared that
the ultimate ownership of all oil discovered from
that date on should be considered as resting with
the Mexican nation, and that all concerns leasing
oil-fields from then on should be required to pay
to the government rental of five pesos per
hectare, or five per cent royalty on oil produced
every year, and that when the royalty exceeded
the rental-as it would once real production was
begun-no rental should be paid. The majority
of the foreign oil interests have not yet complied
with this law. Instead, according to the state
ments of American oil men and Mexican gov
eminent officials, they have been bringing to
bear great pressure to produce American inter
vention in Mexico.
'"The men whom I have interviewed have two
remedies to suggest. First, they say that unless
Great Britain repeats her law which prevents
Americans owning oil in British territory the
American congress ought to pass law prevent
ing British citizens from owning oil in the United
States. Second, and this they consider more inn
portant, they say that the American government
ought to be aroused by popular demand, if pos
sible, to the Importance of protecting and faster
ing legitimate American industrial expansion in
foreign countries, and particularly, in this con
nection, industrial expansion in the shape OF
American acquitison of oil-fields in foreign
countries"
