gods than is man. therefore they
are or may be the mediators be-
tween man and the higher gods.
THE Indian, confusing the OBJ
jective with the subjective, believ-
ing in these powers of the animals,
goes further in thinking that the
power of the animal is also possess
sed by representation of the ami
NAL, hence he makes small carved
likenesses of these animals for the
purpose of establishing relation
ship with the animals and their
influence.
Being q hunter and warrior, the
Zuni has selected particularly for
mediators the prey animals. orig

Extracts from Mr.. Clark's talk
on Future Motor Fuels are
given below:
my paper bears the title, 'Fu-
ture Motor Fuels" and it is my
desire that you join with me in
considering the future fuel OF the
automobile, topic in which
know that most of you will be
more or less interested, if indeed
you have not already found an
I interest in the statistics of our in
creasing consumption of gasoline
and of our decreasing reserves oi
crude oil. Such statistics are given
| frequently in the daily press.
"a letter dated 1927 mentions
an oil spring in New York state
In 174S a Peter Kahn published
an account of his travels and

"The automobile became COM
mercial in 1900. The per capita
consumption Of petroleum was
then 35 gallons per annum. By
1910 it was SO gallons. In those
years the best of gasoline was
