Oil Men Guessing.

"All oil men seem to be guessing at
our gasoline supply and there are optim-
lists and pessimists among them. Henry
L. Doherty, perhaps one of the best in
formed oil men in the country, was
4 recently quoted as saying that tthere'll
be gasoline. for you, your children and
, your childrens children And that's
about as far as any of US need go.
$50 far as I can find out, the main
reason for the present situation is
mainly the big oil interests laid down
on drilling and prospecting for new pro-
duction during the war. The result is
that during the last couple of years
there has been no surplus and all the
fuel that has been produced has been
used. For this reason 1t has been i'm
possible to add to the reserve stocks of
crude petroleum, although the reserves
were depleted during the war period.
perhaps you men don't realize 1t, but
gasoline itself can not be stored in large
quantities. II Is perishable just like ice
or products of the farm. 1t must be
sold at the market price or not at all
The refners can't hold back large guam
titles until an advantageous price can
be obtained, for the reason that gaso-
line, being very volatile, evaporates rap
idly. You can appreciate the loss in
gallonage II you will stop to consider

the point a moment A storage tank
might have 100. 900 gallons In 1t today
and month later this might have
shrunk to $4,000 gallons. Besides this,
there is great fire hazard to the stor-
age OF large quantities Of the stuff. and
for that reason city and state regula-
tons as to storage OF large amounts are
very strict. Taken altogether, 1t IL
highly undesirable for refiners to dis.
till off any more gasoline in q stated
period than will be consumed during
that time.
$50 the only thing they can do is to
store the crude oil Itself, and then re-
fine It as needed. They have to esti-
mate the amount needed for a month,
say, and then produce that much gaso-
line. And whatever amount they pro-
market, for after the gasoline is once
extracted it can not be held indefi-
nitely
May Be Mistaken.
"And, like anyone else. the. oil men
sometimes mistake the demand for GER

gasoline, IF they iaderestimate the
demand for several months for instance.

alarmed over the present motor fuel
situation. Most experienced oil men say
1t is only temporary, and that within
a year or two, like every other COM
modify, gasoline supply will overtake
the demand again.
"There are several reasons to think
this way. In the first place, Midwest
crude is quite likely to advance anoth-
err quarter to $3.50 barrel, which Is
exceedingly high. Crude at this dizzy
level is bound to encourage all sorts OF
Indicating in every section where
there is the slightest chance of strik-
ing OIL From this source we ought TO
get a big increase in producing wells.
Then, too, the governments new land
leasing law is bringing many oil pros
pectors into heretofore undrilled land,
aYes, and don't forget that $3.50 crude
permits many production wells to
be operated at a profit, whereas they
| could not make expenses with crude at
| its normal level of about 81.
zone thing we are going to do that
ought to have a good effect is to start
| a campaign among motor car repair
shops and service stations to get them
| to adjust carburetors for a nominal fee
| of so cents or 81. II there were some
| standard charge for this car owners
would have their carburetors properly

man to adjust the thing, whereas II

great deal. At any rate, we are going
to try it out"
