the last day of the session, receiving
$4,000 for his days pay He belongs
10 the sect which opposes the partici-
patton of women in politics on the
ground of the admonition of Paul that

EASTERN KY. OIL
FIELD BEST in STATE

r. b. Loomis, of Lexington, prom
inent oil operator, and secretary of the
Kentucky Oil Mems Association, In an
Interview voiced an optimistic note
the prospects of the oil industry. De-
spite the downward tendency of prices
since January /, Secretary Loomis eX-
presses the opinion that the present
slump in the price Of crude oil is only
temporary, and that with the renewal
of Industrial activity in this country
am the revival OF foreign export trade,
which are hound TO come, that the
tltmand for oil and oil products will
steadily increase, thereby resulting IN
an advance in the price of oil.
Secretary Loomis and associates
have some valuable holdings both in
the eastern and Western Kentucky
field, particularly in the Johnson Ma :
Coffin pool, and they are holding on TO
them firmly, believing that the time is
rot far distant when there VIII lie
much activity in that section aud shat
drilling operations will be resumed
there on a bigger scale ;nal ever. In
the opinion of Mr.. Loomis the Johnson
Masoffin- Lawrence held is the coming
production field Of kentucky and he
predicts great thugs for the Berea and

FOR JURY SERVICE

right of women to act as jurors was
brushed aside by Charles /. Dawson,

stating that the Federal Constitution
and Kentucky law give them the right
as citizens to serve on juries. The
adoption of the Nineteenth Amend
ment to the Federal Constitution en-
franchising women, made citizens Of
them within the meaning of the term.
according to Mr.. Dawson.
The inquiry as TO the rights of
women to act as jurors came from
Louisville, where there has been con-
siderable activity recently in obtaining
women as jurors. The first qualifi-
cations for jury service. Attorney Cen
eral Dawson says, is that of citizen
ship, the second is that he or she must

KENTUCKY HAS
EXCESS OF Oil

Kentucky welis produce enopeh
crude petroleum yearly to supply all
the automobiles in the State and still
have surplus of millions of gallons
of gasoline and lubricating oil, # the
reiineries made n speciality 1f these
two automobile necessities.
Last year 1880 wells ii the State
produced S,679,9OG barcnis tf hirh-
grade crude oil. A barrel contains
fifty two gallons.
After the gasoline 3 made from
crude oil the product remaining is said
to be equal TO the bright stock In
bricating oils OF Pennsylvania. which
are ranked as the finest n the wurlil

oils.
An average of % per cent of the oil
may be made into gasoline, which
would make total of more than ST.
o00,666 gallons of gasoline that could
have been obtained last year in Ken
lucky. Should the maximum nuahtity
OF lubricating oil have been refined
there would have been produced moe
than 33,000,000 gallons,
After supplying the needs of every
one OF Kentucky's 112,628 automobiles
the surplus available for shipment out
of the State would be more than sd--
10000 gallons of gasoline and more
than 33,0O0O00 gallons of lubricaune
oil
Statistics show that the average
consumption of a passenger car for a
year is 295 gallons of gasoline, whiie
that of truck is 1000 gallons. Ken
lucky. had 99,3S3 passenger cars ast
year and 13,245 trucks.
However the greater portion ci
crude oil produced in Kentucky leaves
here in the raw state and large pro
portion of the gasoline used in this
State is shipped in from Oklahoma

tically no lubricating oil. However
two large plants are in course of con-
struction, one in Louisville and an
other in Lexington, which viii pro-
duce much of the lumricating oil used
here by the end of 1921.

showed that the gasoline made II
Louisville is far above the average

line in eleven important cities was
