The housing needs are large, but

The pending bill provides for a

FRENCH POPULATION
INCREASES WITH PEACE

PARIS, Sept. 5.--The number Of
marriages in France has doubled, the
number Of births increased while
fewer deaths are registered in 1920
than In 1918, the last full year of
peace.
This Is shown by the official figures
Just published by the Ministry of
Labor. The excess Of births over
deaths in 1920 was 159,7s0. as CON.
pared to 5S.e14 in 1918. The MARI.
ages totalled s2S,S6s in 1920 against
12.036 In 1918.

increased when 1t is remembered rha,

OIL MARKET QUOTATIONS.
The Situation

The situation I'm the midcontinent
field Is showing no particular change
as 10 production, which fact is the
best news that IL possible to report.
As long as the high grade refinable
oil. such as is produced IN Okla
homa, is kept at minimum there
is no danger In sight as to price or
cir'aIlment of runs.
The Eldorado, Ark, field is pur-
suing its interesting course and is
NOT as yet felt in the markets Of
the country as there is no pipe line
connection and but little oil going
out in tank cars. and in the mean
tme ..lrc are many refincrics be-
ing built just as there always Is
where no other market Is available.
The oklahoma pools are being
drilled with much more conservatism
and every one here realizes the
necessity of keeping the situation
well In hand and everybody is Of
the opinion that something must
br done in regard 20 the importa-
lion of Mexican crude, as Mr.. Dun
hams articles, published on this
mage, have certainly awakened the
widest possible interest.
lust what can be accomplished is
still problematical. There will be
some very interesting and very ac-
curate reports as to the situation
in Mexico given in this column be-
fore the week is out, and these re-
ports will he up TO the very minute
and will doubtless bear out Mr.. Dun
hams contention that Mexico is a
dangerous proposition.
This paper has, as usual, takon
tho lead In setting forth the situation
as the people can easily be trusted
10 do not only what is right by the
Americal oil operators in Mexico
but also do the fair thing by the
country. which has been bone of
contention for many years. Some
thing will come OF the aroused feel
ing in the midcontinent field and no
