Possibilities Of a Great Industry
which May Shortly be Developed
In This Section


going on in this county in the shale
industry we believe the following
article will be Of especial interest
to the people Of this section!
"That Kentucky is the storehouse
Of billions Of tons of oil-bearing rock
which viii eventually be developed
into the reserve oil stock Of the ma
ton, or at least a portion Of such a
reserve, is the opinion now openly
expressed by oil experts and geol-
ogists, not only Of Kentucky, but the
nation as well.
c. s. Grouse, professor of metal
lurgy, College Of Engineering, Uni
versity of Kentucky, has been pur-
suing exhaustive tests Of oil shale
for number Of months and, he
says, has met with considerable sue
cess.
There are many phases that must
be considered and determined before
anyone can say positively that ex-
tracing OF! shale will be CONNER
cially successful. In the first place
the process must be made cheap
enough so that the product can be
sold at reasonable figure. Access
stability of the shale beds, economy
Of operation and facility Of distri-
button will all figure in this.
From the work now in progress It
would appear that it is simply a
matter Of time before successful ex-
traction Of oil from shale will be an
established fact.
IF it were the crude oil alone that
could be extracted from the rock,
then there is little question but that
the operation would prove too costly
to be commercially feasible, but Mr..
Grouse says there are by-products
obtainable which will practically pay
for the process leaving the crude oil
almost free product.
Professor Grouse has prepared the
following article on "Oil Shales,"
which will undoubtedly be Of in
tense interest to all oil men.
According to the authorities the
domestic production of crude pc
troleum will soon reach its peak, if
indeed it has not already done so.
What then is to be done in the face
of an ever increasing demand for an
ever decreasing supplyf How is the
demand for fuel oil for operating
our battle ships and locomotives, for
motor fuel for our automobiles and
tractors, for lubricants for our ma
chinery to be met? By importation
of foreign oil? Partly. By improve

called his friendship with Georges Gle

could not be withdrawn from Cilica

be understood by the Moslems as a
