PREHISTORIC SUNSHINE

Coal may well be described as pre-
historic sunshine. Ages before the
dawn OF our own era vast forests COW
cred large portions OF the eerth's sur

stored up the treasures Of nature and
after the lapse Of ages IL became the
heritage OF civilization.
For centuries after Il came Into use
coal was looked upon as valuable only
as fuel Later coke was obtained from
it, then sulphur and lampblack. and
finally gas for purposes OF illumination.
That seemed 10 be the limit OF It's pos
slbilities a few years ago but today II
would bo dlfncult to enumerate All the
drticies' OF commerce extracted from
It's by-products.
Coal contains a little Of everything
that goes TO make up trees, but II
would be a mistake to imagine that
everything that comes out OF coal tar
IS contained within H. While there are
only about a dozen primary products
extracted from coal tar. from these the
chemist Is able TO develop hundreds OF
thousands OF new substances. This Is
synthetic chemistry, or tho process OF
building up intricate compounds step

OIL EXPORT TAX IN
MEXICO Is NOT CUT
Obregon Has Not Revoked Or
der Adding 25 Per Cent.
to Duty.
By ,he Associated Press.

MEXICO Crrr, July 14.-President
obrexon has issued no decree revoking
his recent order increasing by rs per
cent. the tax on exports Of crude pc
troieum.
In authoritative quarters 1t was
stated to-day that modification OF the
decree is being considered, but no def
inite action has been taken. Attention
Is called 70 n statement made by Secre-
tary Of the Interior Gales, asserting that
the Mexican Government was willing 10
listen TO any suggestion or complaints
the oil men may make, II the latter
showed themselves willing to meet the
Government half way.
The foregoing was received In re-
snonse 10 an inquiry TO the Associated
Press correspondent in Mexico city be-
cause OF a despatch received early to-
day. announcing that President Obregon,
AT the conclusion OF an all night con-
ference with a committee of Deputies.
had issued a proclamation resembling
his recent decree increasing the tax on
petroleum exported from that country.
THAT despatch was filed with the West
ern Union at Galveston, Texas, and
signed with a name not known to the
Associated Press. Apparently the same
despatch was filed to other agencies and
some newspapers. and has been pub
lished in several parts of the country.
