during 1919 the resulting production
would have been $4,000, 600 barrels
more than the actual production of
the entire world in 1913. AS a mat
ter of fact only about ~ per cen
of the potential flow of the Mexican
wells is permitted because storage,
refining, and transportation facili-
ties are inadequate to take care of

steadily increased, however, and ex-
ports alone for 1920 probably aver

the rate definitely established for
the first six months of the year.
The Worlds Greatest Stream of Oil
1.-THE practice of Mexican natives
of collecting fragments of asphalt
and bitumen which floated on the
waters of a large lagoon neal the
coast of the Gulf of Mexico-south
of Tampfco. and selling them in the
neighboring city, led to the realiZa-
ton that there must be underground
petroleum supplies near Small
producing wells and even fairly
large producers were brought in
from 1901 onward. but it was not
until 1908. that the first of the tre-
mendous gushers that have aston
ished the world was brought in,
near San Geronimo. spouting be-
tween 1000 and $4,000 barrels of
oil q day. :.
NO such stream of oil had ever
been encountered before and the
drillers were entirely unprepared to
| cope with the situation. T. great
geyser of oil caught fire from the
boiler of the drilling outfit and for
two months constituted the greatest
and most spectacular oil fire that
the world has ever known. The
roaring pillar of flame shot upward
during its greatest fury to a height
of 500 to 400 feet, illuminating the
countryside at night for man, miles
and was visible to ships more than
100 miles at sea. 1t was finally ex-
tinguished by huge pumps throwing
streams of gravel and mud.

THE COUNTY MUST CARE FOR HER OWN

The Board of Freeholders are to be commended for
Going slow in taking up the suggestion that the county pave
a section of the state highway at county expense this year
with the idea of being reimbursed by the state later. Whlle
there is merit in the idea and while everything possible ought
10 be done to assist the State Highway Commission, the fact
remains that the county itself has many problems to be faced
and with the ever increasing demand for improved roads
locally, it hardly seems fair to spend such a large sum for a
state Improvement, especially when the road that is men
toned as the one to be paved by the county is already IN
fairly good condition.
The state highways through Middlesex arc very heavily
travelled. The wear and tear ON the road surface is tremen-
dous. It is natural that the particular sections lying in Mid
dlesex should wear out more quickly than those in some
other parts of the state.
AS a matter of fact, The worst part of the road between
Metuchen and Highland Park, which is the section that has
been suggested as the one to be paved by the county, is not
nearly as bad as that part of the state highway on Route No.
/ between Perth Amboy and Woodbridge. The summer
travel to the coast resorts will soon be upon us again and I'M
less something is done early in the spring to put this stretch
OF road in condition there is going to be a lot of complaint.
This also includes that dangerous section of Amboy
avenue where the pavement is laid only on part of the road
so that it touches the curb on the east side leaving the other
half unpaved and more or less impossible. This condition
ought not to be allowed to exist through another summer.
But these are matters that largely concern the State
Highway Commission. Middlesex county has problems just
as great that are exclusively her own. There are numerous
highways that ought to receive attention in different parts of
The county, so that the people of Mddlesex can get about
more readily without encountering the enormous traffic on
The state highways. If there were no such thing as a State
Highway Commission it would be perfectly proper for the
county to see that the main arteries of travel across the coun-
iy were in first class condition, but with these highways taken
over by the state, the first duty of the freeholders is to the
roads throughout the county that are more local in their use.
Then, besides, it must not be forgotten that there are
other things besides roads to be considered all of which take
money and some will necessitate a bond issue. With the
comfy in as good shape as it is as far as roads are concerned,
ills fitting that other things should take precedent for a
while. Fs7ssisssssS

is supposed that the underground
lakes of oil rest on water under
artesian pressure. What may eveiit-
ually be expected is illustrated By
n of the most famous of oil wells,

Tremendous Territory UndevelOped
Erich as the known oil fields OF
Mexico are, it is possible that only 4
beginning has been made in uncov-
ering the liquid mineral wealth oil
the republic. The fields now under
exploitation cover only about 500
square miles. Biologists have found
promising structure for oil in Mex
leo e. an area a~ggregating 100000
square miles.
The future of the Mexican oil
industry is likely to be profoundly
taffected by political developments.
The Mexican constitution of 1917 in
effect declares that oil found under
land does not belong to the owner
of the land but to the state. This
provision and regulations based on
it have been contested by the for
eign interests which control 81 per
cent of the Mexican oil industry.
Action has been taken both through
diplomatic channels and in the
Mexican courts, but no final deci-
sions have been reached"

SARAzEN MAY NOT GET
TRY At BRITISH TITLE

According to advices from the south.
where he has gone to play himself
back from convalescence to cham
pionship form. Gene Sarazen will go
to Troon for the British open cham
pionship in June, and return to de-
fend his American title the follow
ing month. But it is not without the
bounds of possibility that Genes
plans will miscarry.
At Miami the champion has lost
touch with the north. and. Of course
cannot know that If the United States
Golf Association agrees to the rec
ommendatien of the P. G. A. to ad-
vance the national open to June and
the British authorities at the same
time again select June date, there
will be no trip for him unless he Is
more concerned about winning q
foreign title than defending the one
which he annexed this year at Skokie.
This, of course. is unlikely. although
1t Is to be a tremendous disappoint-
ment to Gene If that trip to Troon
does not materialfze.
Some time ago the p. G. A. of
America made overtures to the Brit
tsh p. G. A. looking to mutual action
an the matter of championship dates.
il has beeh customary for the Brit
.ish to hold their tourney In June. but
as the season starts much earlier
abroad than 1t does here, it occurred
to the professional body in this coun-
try that it would work no hardship
