USE MORE THAN WE PRODUCE

WaShingtOn.-In the last six years
the gasoline used In the United States
per automobile has decreased from 600
gallons per year to approximately 400
gallons per year, owing not to a de-
crease Of mileage per car, but to an In
creased efficiency of carburetors and
engines Were 1t not for this in
creased efficiency we should already
have reached our limit Of gasoline con-
sumption and with it probably a price
Of at least 40 cents gallon.
Since 1921 the United States has
been consuming more petroleum than
It produces. The excess has been
largely provided by Mexico and last
year showed an importation of More
than 10000. 900 barrels, that is, ap-
proximately 28 per cent Of the Amer
dean production. Moreover, about q
year ago the geological survey called
attention to the fact that we should
not expect to find any more large
1ields Of petroleum In the United
6tates-i other words, that practi-
cally all Of the possibilities In the
way of large petroleum fields in this
country have been well protected and
that now we can calculate fairly close
" what the production will be in the
future.
Continually Increasing.
On the other hand, the use OF motor
vehicles in this country is continually
Increasing. At present there are about
10000, 900 passenger cars, trucks and
tractors In use, and It is certain that
the saturation point is more than 15,-
100000, and perhaps win exceed TO-.
100000 machines. With this expected
larger demand for gasoline on one

Oil Shaie Resources.
In the last two years another source
Of motor fuel has begun to be consid-
cred seriously In America. In Europe
oil shale has been used for nearly a
century for the obtaining of petroleum.
Indeed, the word petroleum" was
used for shale oil for a generation be-
fore Colonel Drake drilled the first Oil
well (Titusville, Pa, 1850. Oil shale
does not contain petroleum, but by
heating oil shale a petroleum distils
from which a motor spirit similar to
ordinary gasoline may be obtained.
The European Oil shale yields 20 to
% gallons Of Oil per ton Of shale mined.
In this country we have large deposits
Of shales that give double this yield of
Oil. The largest Of these are the Green
River deposits in Colorado, Utah and
Wyoming, but there are also deposits
in Kentucky. Indiana and Ohio, and
some Of equal extent in New Bruins
wick and Nova Scotia. Many Of these
will yield barrel (42 gallons) Of oil
per ton Of rock. It is not commonly ap.
preciated how large these oil shale de-
posits are. In the Green River section
alone there are known deposits yield.
ing barrel or more Of petroleum per
ton. These are sufficient to furnish
more than Ave times the total world
production since the commercial devel-
opment Of well petroleum 60 years ago.
Experimental Work.
In the last two years CONVERSE
tions' regarding shale oil possibilities
have been followed by real experiment
tai and small plant operations, SO that
today we have several processes In
course Of trial. 1t is as yet question
whether we have found the best meth
