OIL VANISHING
IN j. 8. SENATE
QUIZ REVEALS
Petroleum Institute Secretary
Says New Fields MUST
Be Tapped Soon.
BY international News Service.

The Senatorial investigation Of
crude oil and gasoline prices opened
today with the appearance Of r. L.
WEIGH, secretary of the American
Petroleum Institute, before the
Senate Manufacturers Committee.
Declaring new fields must be dis
covered to guarantee the continuity
of Americas gasoline supply, Welch
told the committee refiners had
operated ''at loss" from the fail
of 1920 until the Senate ordered It's
probe. He said this was caused by
the fact that four barrels of crude
oil must be produced to furnish one
barrel OF gasoline. and that during
the winter and spring months, lack
of storage facilities caused refiners
to sell below the cost of production.
The recent decline in gasoline
prices, Welch said. was caused by
decline in the price of crude oil.
The consumption was the same as
in other periods OF the year, he ex.
planned, but the cheaper production
of gasoline was passed on to the
consumer.
Apprehension lest the Mexican oil
fields cease to produce, Welch said,
prevented earlier declines in gaso-
line prices.
Welsh pointed out that the Mex.
leo fields had not declined, but
added that CONTINUITY Of the gaso.
line supply" depended on the dis.
covery of new and important pools
in this country. The increases in
gasoline prices in May and June,
Welsh said, were caused by the
increase in demand, On the first

DAIRY
POINTS
IMPORTANCE OF ICING MILK
Product Delivered at Night often In
Greater Need of Ice Than
During Day Time.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Some milk distributors who would
not think of sending out loads Of milk
during the day without icing do not
Ice the milk delivered by their wagons
to the consumers doorstep at night,
giving as their reason that night de
livery is more rapid. The United
States Department of Agriculture, in
a recent statement, calls attention to
the fact that milk delivered to the
consumers home at night often is in
greater need Of icing than that which
Is delivered during the day.
The important consideration, says
the department, is the time elapsing
between taking the milk from the
plant until 1t is placed in the con
sumer's refrigerator. The fact that
the dealer delivers il quickly does not
mean that 1t will reach the refriger-
ator quickly. Bottles delivered at the
door usually are not taken in until
after the sun has been up for some
time.
During the summer months 1t is
very important that milk on delivery
wagons be well iced. When milk is
liable not to be taken in at once, 1t
should arrive at the doorstep at
temperature of 80 degrees F. or lower.
If the ordinary Open-bOttom cases are
used and stacked not more than two
high, it Is necessary to ice only the
top row, as the cold air will pass down
to the others. Ordinances, says the
department, may well prohibit the de-
livery of milk at a temperature higher
than 80 degrees F.
Consumers may help by placing
properly insulated cOntainer on the
doorstep, In which the milkman may
put the bottles of milk.

Something to Think About
Blu F. A. DALKER

The inevitable ebb fills his soul
with inexpressible terror.
Though he shuts his mouth hard
and says nothing to his suspecting
wife. he cannot quell the sickening
fear.
Danger turks In the waves and in
the wind-in the very breath of idle
gossip.
The shoals are marked by fretting
foam leaping high in the air, but the
night is dark. His nerve is undone.
His once keen perception fails him.
And yet, If ne is a true man. or
a man in the making, this Is the one
time in his life when he will show
his mettle, grip the wheel with a
firmer hold, bend his back and reso-
lutely. face the snarling gale painting
in it's effort to flurl his ship upon the
rocks.
In every life there is a shipwreck
somewhere buried In the sands Of
unfOrgOtten years.
1t tells the tale of day that Is
done, Of fond hopes, that were swept
to sea and sucked under the waters
of the inevitable ebb, from which
no man can always steer clear, but
against (which every brave man will
battle until he makes port.

THE INEVITABLE EBB

WHEN the ebb tide comes, ap-
parently determined to sweep
you off your feet and carry you down
20 the waiting sea; or when the storm
clouds darken the serene sky and OBJ
scure your bright, trustworthy guiding
star, summon all your courage and
.asten to reach the nearest friendly
port.
A man naturally thinks it VIII go
hard with him if the tide turns and
sets against him.
If long accustomed to good fortune,
fair winds and sunny weather, a
sudden burst of opposition at its first
manifestation of energy appals him.
For years he has been making rapid
progress, avoiding the reefs upon
which many of his intimates have
been wrecked.
When they sank beneath the growl-
ing waters he smiled complacently
and congratulated himself on his SUI
perior skill.
His craft was seaworthy, his vision
clear and his hand unerringly sure.
But now, as the ebb frOths in anger
he realizes that his boosted clever
ness was largely a matter of cOndi-
ton with which his ability had moth
ing to do.
He has fallen back so long on the
thought that he was a superman, pos
sessed of extraordinary prowess, the
change alarms him.
