which petroleum is obtained by dis
tillation. In appearance it is black
or brownish black, but on weathered
surfaces it is white or gray. 1t is
usually fine grained, with some lime
and occasionally sand. 1t is tough,
but in thin sections friable. When
broken to a fresh surface it may
give an odor like petroleum. Then,
rich pieces burn with sooty flame.
Oil shale is the uncooked ingredients
of oil. When it is subjected to de-
structive distillation, i. e., heated in
closed vessel, or cooked, shale oil
results as manufactured product.

1t sounds like the lurid title of a
stock prospectus or particular
brand of fiction. But, take it from
those who know, it is the truth.
That aged and we'll known law
of supply and demand has to-day
fguratively driven world scientists
into their laboratories with the stern
admonition to emerge when they
have found the key which will I'M
lock the foodgates of the worlds
future oil supply. Processes al
ready perfected are yet defective.
But the hard working laboratorians
Of nations are believed to be on
the eve of success.
Ask the men who have spent their
lives looking into the all-important
future of fuel, ask "kings" Of in
dustry and princes" Of commerce,
ask your next door neighbor who
owns "flivver," and all of them
will tell you that the worlds great
est problem is petroleum.
Pools Are Playing Out
Natures underground pools, which
have long given forth e;st rich,
black crude oils that lubrlcate the
wheels of the modern universe, are
playing out. Nature has presented
her second line of supply, oil shales,
and there is a string to the presen-
tation which has set laboratorians in
geological lines to work discover
ing the large scale commercial proc
esses Of extracting billions of bar
rels of petroleum from rock.
For long time since the discovery
that nature mad begun to exhaust
our supplies of crude liquid oil from
wells, experts have dropped terrible
hinta of a petroleumless future.
And the man on the street has, per
haps. given little thought as to how
thoroughly petroleum is called upon

There is no known substitute Our
great dreadnoughts are powerless

Our merchant marine drops back
