Not many years ago kerosene was the
petroleum product that meant much to
most people in America. Improved gas
lighting and electricity have driven it
from the lives of the great majority of
city-dwelIers. Gasoline takes its place.
and it is good to know that gasoline pro-
duction, as well as gasoline consumption,
is on the gain. Six years ago, the petro-
leum refiners were glad to get Is per
cent of gasoline from the crude oil they
handled. Every year the proportion has
crept up, and for 1921 it viii be % per
cent. In 1913, when the gasoline product
was an even % per cent, its value ex-
ceeded that of all other petroleum prod
ucts combined. The demand for gas -
which quadrupled from 1915 to 1921, has
led to- fears that the available supply
would soon play out and the use of the
highly efficient gas engine might shrink
accordingly. 1t is reassuring to find that
the increasing percentage of gasoline OBJ
tanned from oil and the increasing supply
of oil in sight seem to preclude all cause
of worry for many years to come.

Suggestions for Safety.
Barre Times.)

More than 1.500, persons have been
killed on railroad grade crossings in the
United States during the past year. a
considerable percentage of that number
lost their lives on grade crossings in
Vermont, and some of the accidents might
have been avoided if proper attention
had been paid to safeguarding the APP
proaches to the crossings, by cutting
away 0bstructing banks, removing the in
tervening bushes, moving houses that cut
off the view, setting freight cars back
a reasonable distance from crossings and
providing safety appliances. Then, too,
a much greater percentage might have
been averted if the users of the highways
had exercised the degree of caution they
should exercise when approaching
crossing of the railroad.

Sir Gilbert Parker, who enters upon his
sixtieth year today, is best known as a
novelist, although he has attained no
ties and public affairs. 4 native of Can
ada, he WAS educated at Trinity univer-
sity, Toronto, subsequently travelling cx-
tensively in Australia, the South Sea
islands. and the Far East. 1t was when
in Australia, in 1886, that he first became
associated with literature, in connection
with newspaper in Sydney, and, during
prose and verse, the most popular being
his novel, The Seats of the Mighty, pub
lished in 1896. After taking up his res
idence in England the novelist identified
himself with the Conservative party and
for eighteen years was one of its repre-
sentatives in the house of commons. He
was knighted in 1902, and in 1916 the
king conferred upon him this honor OF
priyy councillor.
