petroleum and it's products are contin- uaily increasing, but even more strik- ing is our increased dependence upon a few of the products of the oil re- finery, notably gasoline, kerosene, the many types of lubrieating oils, and fuel oil.
 There are said to be 300 or more products of petroleum, each with its own use. Some of these products serve merely our convenience, such as the artificial vanilla flavoring or the cover of paraffine on the jar of jelly or mar malade; others were found during the war period to be absolutely essential to industry on a large scale-for ex- ample, the heavy oil used in temper ing steel plates.
 Tt is when we think of thte mar velous growth of the automotive in- dustry that we realize future demand for fabrication that staggers even the prophetic statitician. With more than six million pleasure automobiles oper- ated in the United States alone, we have an annual consumption estimated by tthe officials of the foremost com pany manufacturing high-grade lubri- cants, at 120 million gallons of lubri- eating oil where twenty years ago the demand for this purpose was practi- cally nothing"

Stories That Recall Others
Little Other Use for It.

The wife had just bought a new hat and was showing it to the husband. He looked at it critically. Yes" she chir- ruped, tits real eld-fashioned. Just look at the fiewers-poppies, petunias and mas turtiums-and see, here this wheat"
 'Uh, huh" said the husband, with a nod of approval. |'but if you want to have a popular hat why don't you have them change the wheat for rye?"
 Thirteen to One.
 At the Baptist church the Boy Scouts were giving a demonstration and among other things were illustrating an early morning at summer camp. The regular platform furniture served as scenery ex- cept for pup tent.
 When the first streak of dawn was an nounced one yawning, stretching Scout slowly emerged from the tent Soon an other followed and in a minute the third came forth. Then one by one the rest came out until the entire thirteen were on the platform
 Inasmueh' as a pup tent accommodates no more than three boys at best, the au- dience was mystiEed as to where the thirteen had been packed away until the last boy had gotten out. In emerging he caused the tent to collapse and it was seen that the boys, instead of being packed into the tent, had been concealed in the pool for baptism and simply used the tent as an entry to the platform.

FACTS REGARDING THE
 CARE OF THE BABY By U. S. Public Health Service.
HOW TO HANDLE A BABY.

A baby must always be handled care fully. His bones are still part cartilage and they bend and break easily. Other bad effects of too much or careless hand ling are sore and painful muscles which make a baby cross. Handling after eat ing upsets the digestion. Jolting, bounc- ing and rocking make child eXcitable and nervous.
 A young baby cannot turn himself over. His muscles get very tired if they remain too long in one posttion. When he is taken up for feeding or cleansing, his position should be changed from side to side or from lying on his back to ly- ing on his stomach. But always the head and back must be kept straight and the arms and legs free. The ears should be kept straight and fiat on the head. The eyes should be protected from direct light.
 To hold a young baby on one arm, lay him fiat on his back on your left arm supporting the neck and head with the palm of the hand and fingers, and press ing his body close to your body with the left elbow. Never throw 8 baby over the shoulder.
 baby should not be encouraged to try to hold up his own head until he is four months old Or to sit up until he is six months old The spine, neck and head always should be supported. Never pick a child up by the arms. Grasp him firmly by the shoulders or body.
 In walking with an older child do n1t walk too fast nor cmpel him to reach up to take your hand It is very tiring to walk in that position.

IN THE DAYS NEWS
Our Oil Supply.
Why are we worried about oil!

Why are we worried about oil?
 Our future oil supply is a question which is troubling captains of industry and scientists, yet tthe reasons for this concern are not generally understood by the average citizen. George Otis Smith, director of the U. s. Geological Survey, explains, in communication to the National Geographic Society:
 In the course of the centuries the raw material issue changes. In the long-bew epoch of Engiand's military strength the conservationist feared depletion of the yew wood which might give the Teuton backed up by his larger forests, an obvious advantage in light ordnance. Later, when Great Britain's naval power depended upon her wooden ships of war, the anxious naval chief foYesaw a possible short age of the oak which made the walls that stood between England and her enemies
 Today those who plan for the future prosperity of their nation realize the extent to which other raw materials are essential to the general we'll being, and for some of these we can see no adequate substitutes.

cox AND ROOSEVELT.

That the deadlock in the democratic convention would have continued even until now had Attorney General Palmer not released his delegates is indicated by the turn events took following the recess and following his recognition of the hopeiessness of the situation. That t should have come from the attorney general was uaqunestionably due to pres sure on the ground that he was the low est o- fine three favorites, but in view of -ae fact that MT. McAdoo had endeav- ored to give the impression that a ncmi- nation would be undesirable it seems a if- strange that he was not the one 10 break the deadlock.

THE BoLsHEvIk1 TURN.

When the united Pelish-U -Ukrainian ar my was sweeping the bolsheviki ahead of .hem, after an agreement had been reached by the former, there was much rejoicing over the capture of the impor- ialt ely of Lemberg and the extension oI the campaign to include a drive on Odessa the great southern port of Rus s-a- During all this time there seemed 20 De 9 disregard for the possibility that he reds having been taken unawares and 7aprepared would stage a comeback. Much reliance was apparently placed in he fact that the soviet government was sn it's last legs and hope placed in the ,laim made about that time that it could ,ot last for six months without assist lnce from outside. Some changes in the military control also served to substan- fate the claims of weakness and decay. Aside from the brilliant efforts of this ?olish-Ukrainian force adverse condi- ions in Russia were regarded as giving indirect assistance. Poland believed that had freed the Ukraine from bolshevik influences for goood and thus strengthen d it's own position by having it's south rn boundary protected by this state where it had gained favor.
 The situation, however, has taken on a Hss favorable aspect. Not only have the ,olshevik been able to send sufficient re- enforcement to check the advance of the ?olish-Ukrainian army but it has been lble to drive them back, out of Lemberg md now both Poland and Ukrainia are leeply concerned as to what the result 8 going to be. Lemberg is a key to Ga lcia and it's control places the bolsheviki a position to strike a serious blow at

SAFE AND sANE REsILrs.

Once more there is cause for thanks- giving over the freedom of accidents from fireworks during tae celebration of the Fourth. It was decidedly in contrast to a few years ago when there was a long list of injured, some seriously and some fatally. The one conclusion is that there has been accepted the golden ad- vice contained in the effonts back of the sane and safe observation of the national holiday, and that there is a recognition of the fact that it does not require the parting with an eye, leg, finger, or a life in order to properly celebrate the birthday anniversary of this country.
 It was not day free from noise for there was plenty of it, but there did ap- pear to be an absence of cannon reports, a decrease in the number of pistols used and a more careful use of such noise making devices as were employed. The change is in accord with common sense. Never has there been an intimation that there should be any curtailment of the enthusiasm displayed in the days eb- servanee. The campaign has been waged against the useless waste of life and limb when patriotic sentiment can be just as
 
 other to the needless hazards. It re- quired a number of years to get the peo- pie awakened to the advisahility of the abandoning the dangerous methds of eel ebrating but it has accomplished it's ob- jects as is shown by the elimination of the death list from explosions and the large reduction in the number injured to say nothing of the relief to worrying parents.
 AS an extension of this movement which has shown such good results there might well now be a concentration of ef- forts for 8 reduction in the number of automobile accidents and drownings which invariably feature such holiday It is time that sufficient attention was directed to such a worthy understanding as to win the recognition and the coop eration of all who are inclined to be careless or those disposed to take chances regarding personal safety.

replaceable, commodities stands miner al oil, or petroleum, and not only the conservative Briton, but the most op- timistic American, may well ask him self, Where will my children and chil- dren's children get the oil that they
 may need in ever increasing amounts ? But while the United States has contributed far more than half (61 per cent.l of the oil that the world has used for nearly 50 years, we have all ready reached the point where we are consuming more oil than we produce. Is this position of the worlds greatest
 user of petroleum as safe as it is spec tacular?
 we are the worlds greatest con- sumers of petroleum; but, impr essive
 as are the 1918 figures of consumption -4I5, ,617,113 barrels no mind can
 easily grasp the idea of that quantity Truly it is a flood of oil; for, if spread over the 60 square miles of the District of Columbia, these AIS million barrels
 would cover the area to a depth of
 nearly foot and a half Beginning with four miles of iron pipe laid down in western Pennsyl- vania at the close of the Civil war, this system now embraces a huge net work of buried pipes from four to eight l inches in diameter, trunk lines and iaterals, aggregating nearly 30, ,00a miles.
 When most of us were in school, oiP meant kerosene, and gasoline or benzine was something to be bought
 in bottle at the drug store or the paint shop.

THE Two-THIRps RuLE.

That the democrats should have so much more difficulty in selecting can didate for president and that they should be required to have so many ballots is due to a large extent to the fact that under the rules governing the democratic conventions a majority of two-thirds as required to nominate. This differs from the rules of the republican convention in- the majority rule and the candidate re- ceiving one more than half the votes is named. It can be appreciated that 1t is much easier to get majority than 1t is to get two-thirds of the votes.
 In the convention just closed 1t does not appear that the two-thirds rule rob bed any of the candidates of the nomi- nation, although eight years ago on many of the ballots Champ Clark received a majority of the votes only to have the nomination thrown to President Wilson when enough votes were released to him to give him two-thirds.
 The two-thirds rule is one of long standing in democratic conventions. Il was adopted away back in 1892 through the influence of Martin Van Buren who sought it to help his nomination for vice president It was brought up in 1s44 te secure the nomination of Polk over Var Buren and in many conventions it has been the cause of much feeling.
 There was time last week when Coz was within striking distance of the ma jerity could he have gotten the vote of such state as Pennsylvania, or wher MeAdoo would have been able to reacf the goal with the votes of New York state had it been necessary to get only 2 majority, but with the two-thirds ma jority required nothing but a deadlock can be faced as long as candidates hold Ing the votes that the three democratic leaders did remain in contest. The fac that none but the winner secured ma iority of the votes probably means thai the life of the rule will not suffer severe attack as the result of the convention just ended even though there continue! to be strong opposition to it.

rEorEcrING OUR SUBJECTS.

We have stood with our hands raised in horror 1t tE= manner in which the Turks have for years been mistreating certa in 5- -ae5r subjects and we have had much t1 say i- regard to demanding and up holding the rights of humanity, but throughout the world war we carefully nFoiill including Turkey among the cen t-al powers with which we were at war J-as-luCh as We were not engaged in the 5Ehtrg in that region it was insisted Iz- f7r the protection of missionaries and others in that country that such a l-e,ar7I ion should be avoided. We even rll ul largely of food and money fur U- ez-1usion Of relief among those who were made destitute by the Turkish ar We had our difficulties in carrying cut this work and in getting American subjects away from Turkey but for the most part our missionaries were not badly mistreated even though -r activities were not regarded with favor.
 Ni-H inc Turkish nationalists taking u-aters i1to their hands MT and Mrs. Paul Elsoa, American missionaries have t7e1 captured by some of their bands. Making approximations to the Constanti- H7r-s government is next to useless ow- ing -o the fact that it is powerless and t7-aIy unable to direct the nationalists. Recognition of this is shown by the &C., ton Of the state department in sending a destroyer and giving orders to the ad- mirai directing our naval affairs in that reEion to do everything possible to bring about the release of the missionaries. The outcome is bound to be awaited with keen interest but what appears to be glite as effective as any move yet made Is the action of the French in seizing a score Of Turks and holding them as host Hsss
 T. is. possible that the policy of watch tul waiting may be applied in connection with this case in spite of the rank fail Hre it has met with elsewhere, but if it is t will have Q chance to be entrusted Eith what appears to be the much more satisfactory move by the French.

 T finally stored up enough courage to apply" answered Annabel. q was the only applicant. Of course, got the job. Everybody who read the ad, I suppose. thought the woman must be crazy. l thought so, too.

 Couldn't this Mrs Goodspeed engineer her own photograph? Has she got weak arms or can't her eyes read the names on the records?" Marion was inquisitive.
