THE OUTLOOK
BY E. X. PERRY,
COSden & Co.

There can be no doubt that the oil business is
right at the beginning of big major upward
swing which will make the year 1923 one of the
very best that the business has ever enjoyed.
"The production of light crude in the United
States is showing such marked decline that an
advance in price in the near future seems inevta-
BILE. The present much touted and advertised
overproduction comes entirely from California
and the heavy Smackover field in Arkansas. The
production of these districts being heavy oil will
have very little effect on the general market,
gasoline being the big important factor in the
business.
There pools Of light oil in sight anywhere
in the MidContinent field in the United States and
the decline at Burbank and other pools which have
reached their zenith will be much than the
production can offset.
'The market for gasoline is extremely strong for this
time of year and there practically stocks of gaso
line anywhere in the MidContnent field except in the
hands of of the largest manufacturers Recent gov
ernment reports on this point have been misleading.
The stocks of gasoline all the country small
compared with the needs for consumption The demand
during the year 1923 will be considerably stronger than
for any previous year and consequently the industry is
bound to enjoy year of great prosperity

MAY MAKE CHANGE
IN LETTER SIZE

MORGANTOWN,3 June 10
Spurred to action by the executive
committee of the West Virginia
University Varsity Club, compos-
ed of Mountaineer 1etter-men in
all branches of athletics, the Uni
-yersity athletic. officials are con-
sidering the ACCESSIBILITY OF
changing the regulations govern
ing the size of letters. This mat
ter has been discussed here sew
eral times in the past but TINS IS
the first time that any definite ac-
ton has been taken; .a
The, Varsity Club committee
suggested that football and base
BAH. as, major sports, should re-
ouire a &seYen-inch s.W. W" with
out any distinction between The
two. They also propose that
basketball, wrestling, track and
tennis, as minor sports, should
have smaller letters of five inches.
1t is reported that majority
of the mem bers of the athletic
board favor the new regulations
and they are expected to take fay
orable action at the time OF their
next meeting.
Under the new regulations stu
dent managers will receive the
regulation letter WITH a pdE pe.
low to: distinguish them from act 1l,s
players, while stars will be
awarded to captains and others
who achieve the unusual in athle-
tics here. If the athletic board
formulate new regulations along
the lines suggested by the letter
mems organization it will be the
first time West Virginia has had
da6nife and systematic letter.
awarding program. Heretofore
more or less confusion has oc-
Cured in the awarding of letters
and even during the past several
years there has been some conten-
ton over the size of the numerals
awarded in certain sports. All OF
the letter-men in the university
are back of the new movement
which will undoubtedly go through
when considered by the official
board.

The Tree.

The tree carries about thirty long
limbs. The spread of these limbs
from tip to tip shows diameter of
one hundred and thirty-three feet,
which is practically the distance be-
tween a store front on the north
side and a store front on the south
side of Broad street, Augusta. The
tree itself one foot above ground is
ffty-five feet in circumference and
something like eighteen in diameter.
-Four feet above the ground it is twen-
ty-three feet and seven inches in cir
cumference, while at six feet above
the ground it is. thirty-six feet and
four inches in circumference, which
means that at this six feet height the
tree is twelve feet in diameter. Be-
tween this one foot and this six feet
in height the tree narrows to about
eight feet in diameter. Live oaks
are often said to have waists like wo-
men-that is narrow. The tree at
ten feet puts out four immense
branches of about fifteen feet in cir
cumference or five feet in diameter.
