The motor trade committee of the
National Automobile Chamber of Com

the Portager. that a campaign be car

attention to the dangerous practice OF
overlooking motor trucks. Many
states, including Maryland, are TAX

contending it is both dangerous to the
highways and to the other motorists

Tire dealers on the main touring

Big Demand On United States.
while Mexicans fought among them

wondered at that our own resources
minished. Prices went up in answer

and they will stay up until the supply
is increased. But the important thing
to remember is that there is still an
enormous amount of oil being pro-
duced every day, and the production
is increasing rapidly. During the
last few years there has been no
surplus, and all the gasoline that has
been produced has been used.
Authorities agree that 1920 will
be the oil mans worst year. and that
prices may go up to 35 cents a gal

before the peak OF demand is passed.

further state that We could supply the

rather enjoy making a little money

quick and sure means of collecting a
generous slice of the surplus coin of

Quoting from recent bulletin issued
by the National Automobile Chamber
Of Commerce: we read: From 1909 to
1913 there was an increase Of 80 per
cent in the production of crude OIL $50
per cent in the production of gasoline,
and LOO per cent in the production Of
automobiles. aside from other gasoline
consuming engines
"The same bulletin quotes a famous
authority in the oil industry as saying
that 100, 200, 900 barrels of petroleum
still remains undiscovered in our west

fife" says an article in the Portager.
There are always a lot of people sit

things that the troublemongers can
concoct.
AT the present time, the so-called
gasoline shortage gives the gloom ar

no nothing, except gloom. panics. epi-

don't seem to realize that they will all
be compelled to look for new jobs in
the near future. Instead of that. they
are drilling lots of wells, refining oil

body doesn't stop them and call a halt
on this great waste Of time. effort and

Gasoline Shortage Temporary.
Seriously. though, the truth is that
while there has been and there still is
a shortage in the gasoline supply, it is
only temporary, and, in the natural
course Of events, cannot last any great
length Of time.
The world is facing shortages of all
kinds in these postwar days, SO that
a gasoline shortage is not a novelty.
Bust just as all Of these shortages are
being rapidly corrected, so is the
diminished supply of gasoline and oil
being made up.
so don't sell your car yet. and don't
give up the sale of tires for little
while-say. for another hundred years
because there will be gasoline for at
least that length of time. Henry l..
Doherty, perhaps one of the best in
formed oil men in the country. was
recently quoted as saying that "there'll
be gasoline for you, your children and
your children's children Few Of US
need worry much about what happens
after that.
The big cause Of the present gaso-
line situation may be traced back to
the beginning of the world war in
1914. At once, when hostilitieS be-

Russia and Rumania were malle USE
