II think you're little confused

Dance and Banquet

The time is comm when the
United States must slow down
it's use of the mineral deposits, d.
rector George Otis Smith, OF the
Geological Survey, told the Lions
Club at a luncheon meeting yester-
day at the Mayflower Hotel.
The greatest depletion is taking
place in the petroleum supply, ac-
cording to the speaker, who stated
that the United States to date has
consumed about 00,000,0 900 bar
rels of petroleum. He added that
this country uses one-half of the
worlds production of minerals.
Water power development and
schemes for Harvesting the sun
light to produce power should not
be depended upon to offset the de-
pletion of the mineral supply, Doc
tor Smith continued.
Muscle Shoals, he asserted, Is
but one example of twenty water
power developments available, some
of which are greater than Muscle
Shoals. In addition, Doctor Smith
stated there are twenty other pos
sihle developments capable of de-
veloping as much power.
Mrs. H. w. Soper entertained
with recitations. Several piano Sc
Iections were played by Miss Gladys
Hillyer. Bernard b. Cough, presi
dent. and J. Fred Schaffer, Of the
Baltimore Lions Club, were among
the guests.
