Gulf Coast Survey

The Bureau OF Mines has recently
completed survey Of the physical and
chemical properties Of typical crude oils
of southern Louisiana and southern
Texas, or what is known as the Gulfc
coast field. Results of this survey are
presented as the seventh in series
Of reports covering different fields in
the country. Fields previously reported
are the eastern and Rocky mountain
fields the fields OF northern Texas,
northern Louisiana, and Arkansas: Kan
sas and Oklahoma.
In III present investigation the Gulf
Coast crudes have been found to pre-
sent some striking differences from
those Of the other fields. In the Gulf
Coast district, on account of its peculiar
geologic formations, ii is difficult to OBJ
tain samples that adequately represent
wide areas. The oil-bearing sand masses
are small in extent, lenticular. and
steeply tilted, so that n sample from
one well may not be representative of
another well or wells not far distant,
for the wells may be producing from
entirely different formations. However
the samples obtained are thought to be
fairly representative Of average condi'
tions for the district.
OF the Ss samples, only six had grav'
tiles lighter than 30 degrees A. p. /.
Baume based on moduas l4l.5). Five
of them were evidently light oils more
resembling the mid-continent than a
true Gulf Coast oil; the other was a
Gulf Coast oil, but contains more gaso-
line than usual. Five other samples had
grayities between 25 and 80 A. Z. j.
nineteen between 20 and 20 degrees and
seven below 20 degrees.
The sulphur content varies widely.
One freak" sample gave only 0.l2 per
cent; nine between O.2 and 0.S; ten, be-
tween 0.3 and O.4; eight, between O.4
and O.5 four between 05 and 0.6; and
three. between 0.6 and OF; while three
showed LAO. l.90 and 2.23 per cent.
Pour tests were almost uniformly low
Though the viscosities were fairiy

A striking popularity is the almost
complete lack OF gasoline fractions.

"Y)ouR WAR DEBTS" CARTOON
RAISES PERTINENT QUESTION

One of our American periodicals
prints a cartoon from the Manchester
Guardian, showing Uncle Sam point
ing to blackboard bearing the legend
~ our War Debts" with John Bull
making the smiling and coy sugses-
ton that lie Gross out the Y" and
make it "Our War Debts"
John Bull has been making that sug-
gestion ever since the armistice was
signed. Obviously he can not safely
advocate general reputation, for he
holds something like $4,000. 900, 900 of
foreign securities himself, some OF
them war debts and some Of them
other debts. But he is pushing gently
on the big idea that, since all were
fighting in common cause. these in
ter-allied debts should be wiped off
the slate.
1t is i new idea, this Communism
of war" We heard nothing Of it
when the British government was
charging US tens of millions for trans-
porting our troops. Nothing was said
about it when We were paying India
for jute and Australia for wool we
were using in the war.
We heard nothing Of it from France
when she clapped her big port charges
on our warships and transports that
were bringing the troops TO save her
gizzard. when we We're paying for
franchises to build railroads in France
and buying ground to build ware
houses there for the same purpose.
Nor was il mentioned when we were
paying good dollars for francs for the
use of our troops driving the enemy
from French soil.
Nor. in all this English and French
propaganda for debt cancellation, have
we heard any suggestion that the mo-
Eey we paid them for war necessities
should be returned to us. The differ
ence was that we paid them cash and
they paid us l. o. us. The big idea
is that they should keep the cash and
we should tear up the scrip!
Would cancellation be an act OF
great British generosity as set forth
by the Earl Of Balfour in his celebrat-
ed note? The British would be re-
lieved of their 5000, 900 900 debt TO
us, in return for which they would
surrender their expectations Of Ger
