 "The distillation of oils from oil shales, another important source oi supply, will be restricted to those regions where enormous quantities of the shades are found" said Pro. lessor Fettke. Where bitumilous coal is found in larger quantities than shale, it will be more economi- cal to confine the business of oil Gistillation to coal
 With the growing shortage of natural gas and anthracite coal and their consequent increase in pr,ce, other sources of domestic fuel must come more and more into use One of these undoubtedly will be low temperature coke. The low-tempara- ture carbonization of coal in this respect will have the advantage of tne oil shale industry.

PORTUGAL MAY.
 SEEK INTERNAL
 LOAN; BIG SUM
Little Nation Will Bring About Own Salvation by
 Tax System.

LISBlJN, AFeb. l,.-In submitting to the Chamber his proposal for raisA ing an internal loan of four milkcn pounds sterling, the Minister of Fi- nance emphasizes his view that Por- tugal must bring about her own sal vation by means of internal taxes, to be borne by all classes alike; the stabilization of the escudo, and a gradual amortization to reduce the national deficit.
 Furthermore, there must be ab- stention from continued issue of notes, and a gradual withdrawal of those already in circulation.
 The new loan is to be a consoli- dated loan, bearing interest at 6 per cent payable quarterly. and will be secured on the general revenues of the state It is also to be free from all taxation, either present or future, and the proceeds are to be applied, in the first place. to meeting the general expenditure of the state for the year 1922.23.
 The negotiations for loan in France, based on an arrangement affecting the tobacco and match monopolies, do not appear to be af- fording much prospect of success.

SCIENTIST SAYS THAT SOFT
 COAL WILL PRODUCE GASOLINE

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Feb. 19.-The waning petroleum supply of the couE- try may be supplemented to great extent, according to Charles K. Fettke, associate professor of geology and mineralogy at Carnegie lnsti- tute of Technology, by taking the enormous quantities of bitumin1us coal, now being burned in the raw state for steam raising purposes and domestic use. and subjecting 1t 10 low-temperature carbonization. Pro- lessor Fettke set forth this idea in the course of an address to the in- Stitute students.
 This process. he said, will produce fuel that is in many respects su- perior to raw coal; the smoke ndis- ance of cities will be abated. and valuable by-products. will be recov. cred which will aid greatly in af- fecting a petroleum supply that IS being rapidly depleted.
 Professor Fettke emphasized the warning that the known reserves 0. petroleum are being so rapidly re- duced that one of the problems to be faced within the next decade or
