Fading Oil Supply.

It is claimed that the Mexican oil fields.
among the largest in the world, are beginning
to give out The. vast subterranean lakes
which have furnished in one field alone a
supply of 100000 barrels a day has been dimin-
ished one-thirj, and it is estimated that within
/ few. weeks some of the largest fields in Mex
leo will be exhausted. In the very nature Of
things all the oil wells now running will be
exhausted in few years and unless new fields
are discovered We shall have to depend upon
something new for motive power Much of the
motive power OF the world now depends upon
gasoline There are billions of dollars invested
in the manufacture of machinery run by ex-
plosive engines. So that it will be seen that
the exhaustion Of the oil supply will mean
much to the world in many different ways un-
less some effective substitute is found for gaso-
line. 1t is likely that this view of the situation
has not escaped the officials of the Standard
Oil company, the shrewdest corporation in the
world, and it doubtless has many patent filed
away in its secret archives by which it will
provide a substitute

about him. We read where he gives dime to
messenger boyI We feel that he ought to
throw the kid a couple Of hundred dollars.
But that's not the Rockefeller system. The oil
king believes that every one Of MS should work
out his own niche in life and that We shouldn't
expect something for nothing. Mr.. Rockefeller
worked hard as boy and young man. His
millions are the rewArd of great business
mind, one that was concentrated on-success.
Mr.. Rockefeller devoted himself to the develop
ment Of the oil business while other men of
equal keenness in industry explored and ex-
banded In other fields with returns almost az
stupendous as those that came to him. Mr..
Rockefeller ought and doubtless will be appre-
ciated for the good that he has done rather than
for some of the business misdeeds that may
have been unjustly charged to him. He has
given millions to education and medical re-
search, and he has given unstintingly and with
out any strings attached. He did not have to
make these contributions to the public good.
He could have chung to his millions and con-
tinued boarding until the day of his death.
He could have passed his wealth to his blood
relations and Withheld contribution Of a single
dollar outside that circle.
We shall probably come to get better un-
derstanding of John D. Rockefeller, the man.
in his forthcoming life's story. We hope that
We will. We certainly have seen enough of
the other side of the picture about him. We
would rather believe that John D. Rockefeller
builded his huge fortune on playing the game
squarely than to go on believing that he won
through unfair methods.

Putting the People Right.

There is one good feature about the delay
in action on the merchant marine bill. The
people are becoming more familiar with its
provisions and the necessity for its enactment,
and sentiment for the measure is being solidi-
fled every day. There appears to be some
slight opposition in the states of the middle
west, but that is disappearing the people
come to understand the necessity for a per-
manent American fleet to carry the products of
agriculture to European markets. Chairman
Lasker of the shipping board is planning trip
to that section of the country for the purpose
of acqdainting the farmers with every aspect
Of the question. When the vote is finally taken
on the bill there will be little evidence of any
sectional feeling toward it, and support for its
provisions should be we'll nigh unanimous

The Daily Short Story

poems" Here her voice lost its
joyous note.
While he suppressed his desire to
laugh, Nat explained how his
blamed old eyes broke down on
him" and in her sympathy over his
misfortune, Anne forgot her unfor-
tunate arrival On the scene and
confided to him how hard it was to
keep her poems out OF the sight Of
her ridicaling relatives, and of
course no one could get the proper
effect of their lines unless she read
them aloud, SO naturally Polly made
fine assistant when trained to
say, that is exquisite.
When Auntie arrived, she was
much pleased with the state of af-
fairs, and a tiny hope stirred in her
matchmaking heart that these two
would be attracted to. each other.
Nat was progressing in his profess
sion and Anne might be walked out
of that abstract manner which
fixed on her the handicap of awk-
wardness.
Auntie approved of the long aft
ernoons down in the orchard which
followed, with Anne reading to Nat
in an earnest manner, while Nat
sat with his lap full of sleepy kit
tens, and Polly with her sage head
on one side, offered her comp!i-
ments.
Anne posted big, mysterious, bus
iness-like envelopes and Nat was
fairly caught with his bandages
pushed up over his forehead, writ
ing feverishly in a notebook on his
knees. When discovered, Nat
begged her to keep his secret, but
her curiosity became acute when
Nat returned from one of hisserips
to the city to see his specialist with
large parcel under one arm.
After supper he called Auntie and
Anne into the sitting room, where
he opened the package, displaying
two slim. blue covered books with
the title, Poems Of Already, by
Anne Brown" While Auntie gazed
in wonder at her copy, recollecting
the afternoons In the orchard, Anne
! exclaimed: "Oh, my. if I could only
help you in your lifework as you
have helped me-" to which Nat made
the astonishing reply, you have,
Anne" and forthwith offered for
her inspection a compact brown
covered book entitled! personal
Experiments in Overcoming the
Handicap Of Nerves, by N. NJ.
Thayer, NJ. D."
But, as Auntie said, Anne needn't
have been 80 indignant at being
used as a subject for Mats expert
ments, for it was all going to be in
the family now, anyway.
