It IS estimated they secured about 100000 tons from roofs, bells. locomotive fire boxes. house finishing, utensils. etc. Austria-Hungary contributed in like manner and Belgium was robbed of every pound available in any form.
 Big Stock in the United States
 The United States was working every copper mine, big ana small. to supply the demand made by the Allies for the metal, and when we finally joined the forces against Germany there was still greater need for cop per, and we strained to meet it. The ending of the war. this being earlier than had been anticipated, found i'm mense stpcks in the hands of the U. g. government, for which the produc- tion had been made, and which set the price at 26 cents d pound. high enough to permit good profits and get every deposit of copper ore and copper rock going to its limit. Better than a billion pounds were on hand, and the government pulled away its
  chances in the market The price slumped to 14 cents and at this the sales were not as heavy as were eN- pected. The foreign countries that had been heavy buyers in pre-war times had no credit here Their mon- ey fell in value to almost nothing as compared with the American dollar. and this discrepancy in exchange rates still seriously affects tae cop per industry. There is still a surplus of about one-half billion pounds of the metal hanging over the market. which affects the price now under l5 cents q pound as against a produc- tion cost averageing about F cents. condition that cannot long prevail. as there's a limit to financial sacri- fees no matter how powerful some of the producers may be. Nearly all of them are at the end of their own credits, and some will surely have tO close down solidly unless improve ment in demand and price cgmes soon. All are making reductions in output which will soon clear away the l present surplus.

Whats the matter with copper? Is a question frequently asked these days when dividends are passed and the metal is selling lower than for many years when investments in copper shares are receiving feeble, or no return, and With the prICe of the shares tumbling more rapidly than that for the ingots. It's a reason able query, too. in the face of the great prosperity that has attended the operations of the associate metals of which steel is one of the most promi- nent Steel has thrived amazingly ever since the close of the war, and has been in great demand, and it's standing argument that copper ought to go hand-in-hand with steel. IL always has until recent years when there appears to have been a diSsocia- ton of these interests.
 War Helped steeI-Hurt Copper
 Both copper and steel enjoyed great prosperity throughout the active
 course of the recent war, each being demanded to the limit of capacity of mines and smelters and fabTicators. We used to read about the pounds of copper in the form of iron bands that were employed ill the firing of pro1ec- tiles. how the copper was necessary to swadge through the rifling of the gun that there might be imparted to the protective the proper circular motion so it could maintain it's flight with accuracy, and how this copper was al so necessary in protecting the rifling of the gun barrel. We used to figure the number of tons used in the firing of so many shots, and it all sounded
 well to copper miner who was doing
 his full duty in supplying this needed material. We read how the Germans
 were using copper roofs and church | bells. door knobs and other things to provide metal for similar use Tn their
 guns this after they had exhausted ! the big supply of the metal they had accumulated during the many years while anticipating. and preparing for this attempt at humiliating the world. The Germans figured they would win in less than a year, so sure were 1 they of their preparation and plans. But at the end of this time the fight
 was only fairly started. and the cop

Present Races Will Vanish Before New
 Oil Supply Comes
BY BASIL F. N. MACHORIE Member of the Institute Of Petroleum
 TLcbnoIooy of london

Unless measures are taken for mere conservative use Of petroleum and it's products, the exhaustion of the natural supply may take place within the time Of the next genera tion.
 Tho riches that are hidden in the bowels of the earth are so enormous that we have been most prodigal in axpending them without thought for the future, and the time has arrived when all the world must be more careful.
 old Mother Nature is constantly at work creating new coal fields and new oil wells, but the process is so extremely slow that probably all of the known races at present on the earth will have passed away before the supply now being manufactured by nature will be available.
 The use of petroleum is older than the records of the worlds history. Herodctus describes the oil fields near Babylon. while the ancient rec Crds Of China and Japan are said to contain many allusiOns to the use ot natural gas for lighting and heating.
 The earliest mention of petroleum in this country occurs in Sir Walter Raleigh's account 1595) of Ire pitch lake at Trinidad. The active growth Of the petroleum industry in North America began a century ago, but the average production was only about two thousand barrels a year.
 For about ten years the state of Pennsylvania was the one Cil produc- CT. but in the last fifty years the in duslry has spread all over the globe. There are oil fields of importance in Russia. Galicia, Bumania, Sumatra Java and BOrnco
 Tho greatest mcHploited oil fields at the present time are. | believe. in Persia There is an area of two hun drcd and forty square miles the geo' Ogical formation of which denotes oil possibilities, and only five or ten square miles of which have been cX plotted
 But even with all this wealth in sight, if future generations want theii automobiles. and ii transportation iS to be dCue by trucks, we now at this time must leaIn to be mere cCnserVa tive.
