Need of Industry,
Speaker Says.

Los Angeles, Cal, March 5.-Pro
duction in the great oil fields of Cali
fornia is declining fast and one of the
greatest needs of the industry is for
continued exploration on scale that
will meet constantly increasing de-
mands, according to Paul Shoup, vice
president of the Southern Pacific Rail
way and president of the Pacific As
ISOLATED Oil companies who addressed
the advertising club here yesterday.
Mr.. Shoup declared that three great
fields of Santa Fe Springs. Hunting
ton Beach and Signal Hill. at Long
Beach. all in California, are showing
a marked decline in their flows. He
added that these fields. although they
have produced approximately $780,
100000 worth of oil to date. have not
yet returned the amount of money in
vested in them.
The supply of gasoline in the United
States. Mr.. Shoup placed at less than
enough to meet the nations needs for
60 days. This is being augmented by
oil coming. in storage. and semi-manu-
featured. he declared, but he doubts
if this addition will more than meet
consumption.
The railroad and oil executive de-
clared that the oil industry wishes the
whole truth brought out in the oil in
quiry at Washington while he deplored
any effort to drag in personal animosi-
ties of political expediency-

Of a proper home.
"The home is the only other insti-
tuition which Jesus Christ ordained
after the establishment Of His church.
II is the only other institution winch

and dignity which should surround 4

Purchase of As typewriters for use
in the junior high schools advocated
by DR.. Jeremiah Rhodes. superintend-
ent of schools, precipitated a discus
sion of whether stenography and type
writing should be taught in the lower
grades. Members of the school board
with one exception agreed with DIR.
Rhodes that a facility in handling a
typewriter in this modern age is of
great benefit and concurred with him
in the belief that it should be taught
in the public schools. Mrs. Eastburn,
who has consistently maintained that
more emphasis should be placed upon
