MINING ENGINEERS
URGE OIL REFORMS
Unless Washington Acts Tt Is
Feared Country Will Sink
to Low Factor.

Swift and forceful action is necessary
IL the United States is not to sink to an
unimportant place in the worlds oil
industry. That was the consensus at
the symposium on foreign oil possibili-
ties held yesterday at the 125th meeting
of the American Intitute of Mining and
Metallurgical Engineers in the Ergi-
neering Societies Building. The ses-
sions of the institute. which end to-
night. are being attended by 1000 engi-
neers who have come from all parts of
tn world. Tomorrow the members will
visit various industrial plants.
The mining experts believe that IL the
United States Is to hold her own with
Great Britain In this field. much less
match herself against Japan, whose oil
three centuries. while the United States
reserve is good for only twenty years
three things are necessary:
There must be greater cooperation
by American oil companies in their
foreign exploration and development
work.
The Federal Government must lend
assistance In foreign oil development.
along the lines of a modification OF
American domestic oil policy. so for
eign countries can be asked con-
sistently for fair treatment as to roy
altes and bonuses.
A check upon the price fixing group
in the oil industry.
Ralph Arnold, Los Angeles engineer
s.s
of the oil industry in Mexico as an in
dication of the results OF cutthroat com
petition between American companies
working in Mexican fields.
Mr.. Arnold declared that one of the
principal handicaps under which Ameri-
cans operate in negotiating for oil con
cess'ons and leases in foreign countries
Is the excessive bonuses and royalties
exacted by our Government from opera
tors on Government and Indian lands
lie pointed out that although most OF
the high bonuses and royalties are on
highly productive land, foreigners are
not prone to differentiate between proven
and prospective land. and hence use
these high figures as arguments in FAVOR
of impossible conditions and terms In
their own cases.
A paper on the japanese oil supply
read by 7. Morgan Clements. mining
engineer and geologist. who has recently
Investigate the japanese fields. aroused
great interest. 1t appears that Japan
il more fortunate than most nations in
the possession of oil reserves for the
future.
Mr.. Clements estimates the future oil
reserves Of Japan. in barrels, as fol-
lows: Oil from proven Ground. 100000.
oil from probable ground. 9O0,OOO,o0i oil
from possible ground. 200, 100000. He fig
ures that the proven and probable lands
alone will provide her with enough oil
at the present rate Of consumption for
100 years. II the possible lands material
lie. for three centuries.
Col Arthur $. Dwight. former trustee
Of Columbia University. was elected
president of the institute to succeed

Expect Good Hat Business.

The approach of Easter is looked to to
develop a rush business for hat manu-
facturers and retailers. Orders received
to date are admittedly below par and
buyers are displaying tendencies for
shopping in other lines. Although the
basis for optimism of dealers apparently
hinges on nothing more definite than
the proverbial spring enthusiasm, which
n,arks the coming of the Easter season,
the trade believes that business is there
if offerings are of quality and prices to
attract All shades Of brown will
feature spring hat displays and little
attention will be given to extreme
colors.

WILL BUILD SHOPS,
FLATS AND THEATER
Corporation Leases Block on
Willis Avenue as Site for
$3,000,000 Project.

A s3,000O00 deal closed yesterday laid
the foundation for building project OF
unusual magnitude in The Bronx. The
site for the project, comprising over
sixteen city lots on the east side of
Willis avenue from 13Sth to 139th
streets. was leased by the Herman Sturz-
berg Realty Company to corporation

+. Haring and Louis F. Blumenthal of
Haring & Blumenthal and Hyman Som

C S. Sonn. The lease will run for a
period of thirty-nine years and will in
volve a total rental in excess of $4,000
600.

200 feet on the side streets. the lessees
will erect apartments, stores and big
theater with seating accommodations
for $500 people. The apartments and

ater will be on ls9th street, with the en-
trance on Willis avenue. Haring &

Extra Trousers to Help CIothiers.

Reports from manufacturers of sales
OF separate trousers tend to relieve the
clothing industry of pessimism. Early
season orders indicate that mems fur
nishings departments anticipate lively
call for extra trousers to be worn with
coats and vests which have outlived the
usefulness OF trousers. That economy
Is noticeable also among custom tailors
who cater TO the more exclusive trade.
The majority of men ordering tailor
made suits. it Is said. are having extra
pairs of trousers made with regular
three piece suits. thereby increasing the
serviceability of the other garments.

Careful Not to over.tocls Market

The principal reason for the present
demand production. used by shirt manu-
facturers to guide their operations. is
said to be partly due to buyers shop
ping attitude. A manufacturer recalls
a period two years ago in which much
the same tendency of restricted buying
was evident. Manufacturers continued
quantity production. and when the slump
in prices occurred. II left them with
goods on hand that had to be sold at
sacrifice prices. The lesson learned then
is being utilized now. In other words
manufacturers are careful not to over
stock the market and are basing their
output on immediate demands of the
public.

Predict Return of Staples.

The belief that staple fabrics will re-

generally anticipated is growing among
the more conservative merchants. Even
proponents of novelty fabrics admit that
the market for those goods is likely to
change at a moments notice. They arc
doing n good business, however. and are
among the few retailers making profits
in these days Of slack buying. Novelties
are admittedly a passing fancy and
