OIL CONSERVATION
 BOARD IS NAMED
Coolidge Makes Appointments to
 New Government Unit

Washington, Dec. 19.--An oil con servation board, consisting of the secretaries of war, ravy, interior and commerce was created today by President Coolidge,
 The new board will study the gov ernment's responsibilities in oil con- servation, and will seek the full CO., operation of the oil industry to that end.
 The commission appointed by MT, Coolidge last March to study the future supply of fuel oil for the navy will work in cooperation with the new board.
 The president announced the cre- ation of the new board in identical letters addressed to the secretaries of war, navy, interior and com merce, in which he said:
 Tt is evident that the present methods of capturing our oil de- posits is wasteful to an alarming degree, in that 1t becomes impossible to conserve oil in the ground under our present leasing and royalty prac- tices if neighboring owner or lessee desires to gain possession of his deposits.
 'Developing aircrafts indicate that our national defense must be supple mented if not dominated by avia' ton. It is even probable that the supremacy may be determined by the possession of available petroleum and its products. "I am advised that our current oil supply is kept up only by drilling many thousands of new wells each year, and that the failure to bring in producing wells for a two year period would slow down the wheels of industry and bring about serious industrial depression.
 "The problem of future shortage in fuel and lubricating oil, not tc mention gasoline, must be avoided or our manufacturing productivity will be curtnied to an extent no' easily calculated.
 "We are. not today, however, fac ing an under supply of oil. Ihe Abroduction of our 100000 wells IS IT excess of our immediate require ments. That over-production in It. self encourages cheapness which 1T turn leads to wastefulness and dis regard of essential values. Oil, ol which our resources are limited, Il largely taking the place of coal, tho supply of which seems to be unlim' tied, but coal cannot take the place of oil in most Of it's lighter uses, or land or sea, or in the air.

'DAD' IN HOSPITAL, APPEALS 10 SANTA
'PIease Don't Forget Us," Says
 1O-Year.OId Girl

That the generosity of New Brit ain people Is as much in evidence this year as In other yuletide sea sons is shown by the flood of queries received at the Herald office this morning by people who read the story of the little girl who appealed 10 Santa to bring something for myself and five sisters"
 Hardly had the paper been on the streets until Miss Alice Mayrich, night telephone operator at the New Britain General hospital called at the Herald office last evening and said she would be glad to help play Santa Claus to the family. Miss Mayrich conferred with Ensign Carl Frederickson of the Salvation army and, with Miss Helen Johnson. as- sistant secretary of the Welfare as- sociation, arrangements were made to take Christmas cheer to the fam fly.
 Other local people telephoned asking that this or other families  in similar circumstances be referred to them.
 That there are other families who do not view the approach of Christ mas with much pleasure is shown by the letter addressed to Santa Claus at the Herald office, which tells in a few words the story of a hard, long struggle during the year now drawing 10 a close. The let ter reads as follows: Dear Santa:
 Would you please call on us this Xmas as me and my little broth CTS and myself do need you so bad my daddy is in the Wildwood hos pital a year now. l am 10 yrs old my oldest brother Is II yrs the oth- 1 CTS are little, baby brother 8 months. please don't forget us, 1 dear Santa"
