Decrease in Oil Supply,
No Cause for Alarm
(By Associated pressl

Chicago-The alarm shown by the
decreasing oil supply, with the con-
sumption of gasoline on the upgrade
due to the increased use of the inter-
nal combustion engine, would be need
less were refners receptive to evolu-
tionary methods of distillation, asserts
T. H. Manning Of the Industrial Re-
search Laboratories in discussing the
motor fuel of the future.
A single simple operation converting
all crude OIL except very small por-
ton, into high grade motor fuel,
outranking the present products, is adj
vocated by Mr. Manning.
"This can be accomplished" he says,
"by a single distillate from the
crude to The refined without the de-
tail incurred by redistilling, refining
AMI reprocessing as now practiced by
the refners. This, of course, will re-
quire a. disregard for the lesser dis
tillates, which would allay the alarm
felt by many at the diminishing oil
supply.
"The oil industry has outgrown its
present methods of production and
chemical research has shown that all
the agitation concerning the decreas-
ing oil resources is weak and I'M
founded"

legrino, by her father and guardian
ad Item, Frank Barry, sued Louis
Pellegrino, her husband, for sum in
excess of $3.50 for the payment of a
hospital bill and medical fees caused
by the wife's recent illness. The COM
plant also asks for separate main
tenance, but does not make application
for divorce.
It is alleged that the husband for
several months has made no attempt
to provide for his wife's care despite
the fact that she was seriously i'll and
at times at the point of death. It
claims that efforts to get him to help
in the support Of the wife have proved
futile, forcing her to take legal steps
to compel him to help pay for her
expenses.

Attorney Robert Verne Baker, counsel
for the plaintiff and which was served
on the defendant late Tuesday after
noon by Constable John Mcneil, states
that the two we're married la Racine
only few months age. It declares
that shortly after the marriage the
wife became seriously i'll, but that
the husband refused to allow her to
have medical care.
Finally her relatives secured a ply
stefan who stated that her condition
was very critical and directed that she
be taken to hospital for treatment
Accordingly she was taken to the ST.
Mary's hospital in Racine, where she
was treated for several weeks. An
operation was found to be necessary
to save her life and this was success.
fully carried on there. The suit Is
for the hospital fees of $3.50 and
for the doctors fees, which have not
yet been determined.
The oomplaitn alleges that when the
wife was taken to the hospital. Pei.
legrino declared that The did not care
If she died as he could easily get an.
other wife" It states that since that
time he has failed in every way to
meet any Of the obligations Of a
husband.
Since her return from the hospital

with her parents in Kenosha. The

President Emeritus of Leland Stan
ford University, approved the plan
suggested by Viscount Shibusawa for
the appointment of joint commits
sion to discuss the matters. "Such a
commission could not settle the points
at issue which must go to the courts
but it would serve to dispel misunder-
standing on both sides, matter of the
highest Importance" he said.
"The Washington conference was a
great triumph of common sense and
common decency. Its main achieve
ment was to prick the monstrous and
dangerous bubble of war-scare assidu-
ously inflated by evil-ninded men on
both sides of the Pacific.
Japan and America will be neigh
bors for the next thousand years, and
it is good business as we'll as good
morals to be neighborly."
