Disappearing Oil

Ralph D. Paine In the Worlds Work:
 Although the United States now produces seventy per cent of the worlds output of petroleum, the end of this emendous supply is already in sight, according to the estimates of the geological survey which predicts that the reservoirs vii be, exhausted in about eighteen years at the present rate of production. This may be scien- tific conjecture, but it is indisputab ble that we are rapidly exhausting our own supply while the rest of the world is conserving its oil fields. It means that England will control. in the near future. the greater part of the fuel oil for ships on foreign routes and it is not to be expected that American steamers will be granted any special favors. In other words. the advantage of owning a great fleet of oil-burning freighters must rest upon the factor of economical operation and not upon cheaper and more available supply of oil.

Federal Reserve Board Will Not Elk

Hold Crop for Higher Prices.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-Requests
of the Aemerican Cotton association for
governmental aid in financing the mar
keting of the cotton crop of the South
was denied yesterday by Governor Hard
ing of the federal reserve board.
The representatives OF the association
asked extension of credit on cotton loans
estimated at approximately $500,00o,000
in order to permit growers TO hold their
cotton and prevent dumping on the mar
ket at loss.
The solution of the problem facing
southern cotton producers, Governor
Harding said, lay with the producers
themselves and in their home banks.

costing that cotton men sell their high

arise, which would enable them gradually
to liquidate their debts and hold their
low-grade cotton for a better market

BIG HOUSE GREETS
BIRD OF PARADISE
Opening Play Under Management of E.
J. Fenton Presented by Excep
tionally Competent Company.

Almost a capacity house was pres
ent at the presentation of the play,
The Bird of Paradise, in the Audito-
rum last evening, which was the first
play presented there under the man
agement of f. j. Fenton. The play,
which is love story of Hawaii by
Richard Walton FULLY, was presented
by an exceptionally competent cast,
and some of the scenes were of spec
tacular nature, especially the eruption
of the volcano Kilauea, and perhaps
because of its impressiveness the audi
cnce was less responsive than the play
merited.
The story of the play has been told
in previous issues of The Reformer.
1t is sufficient here to say that it is
,distinctively Hawaiian in character,
settings and musical features, empha-
sizing the intensity of the love of the
native Hawaiian and the futility of
the mixture of the people there with
American whites Ann Reader as Luz
ana, a Hawaiian girl, who took the
leading part, has rare ability as an
emotional actress, and she was ably
supported by the rest of the cast. The
superstitions of the Hawaiians gave
opportunity for the introduction of
features which gave the play an I'M
usual character.
