OIL CONSERVATION
PROGRAM DEBATED
Doherty Plan Of Cunt" Operation Under Fed
eral Regulation Not Favored by Many;
Engineers Hear Suggestions

day that since the first oil well
splashed Titusville, Pa, on the map
in 1854, there has never been n world
lack Of oil. He believes that devel.
.opinents will be sufficient TO provide
world requirements. no matter how
extensive they may be.
In addition. Mr.. Lucke points out
that the coal deposits OF the United
States are thoroughly well known
and established. Those deposits
would suffice, he says. to provide
fuel oil as a by-product. sufficient
for any extraordinary need. without
curtailing the Use of gas engines in
any way, through the production of
benzole and toluol.
All the engineers present at the
meeting of the Institute in New York
r willing to concede that tremen-
dous sums were being expended In
| search for new oil fields. Many con-
coded, however. that this search was
inspired not by desire to provide for
future world needs but by hope OF
quick profits. Millions of dollars are
being. expended in such search. For
example, the Standard Oil company
| of California recently abandoned ex-
tensive operations in the Philippines
after expenditure of over 50. 1000, 900.
having found no pools profitable to
exploit In the district explored.
The same is true of mining com
panies which have conducted
searches for gold. copper, silver and
other metals, the engineers point
out. The engineers say II the hope of
quick profit were removed. the
search for future oil reserves would
be abandoned and that the situation
in future years would be more men,
acing than any threat of depletion is
| today.
In the meantime, many engineers
declare their intention of devoting
their activities toward processes of
developing oil from shale. toward
recovery of a larger PERCENTAGE of
the contents of pools and toward de-
velopment of the benzol and toluol
content of coal. rather than toward
restriction of petroleum production
and drilling activities.
They are confident that the law Of
supply and demand will offer suffl-
cient check to production to avoid
depletion and point to the fact that
in California the new drilling activi-
ties since the first of this veal have
fallen nearly so per cent below those
of the corresponding period of last
year.

Look 1t Ouer First

DON'T monkey with the constitution!
- Observe the predicament of Miss
Helen Gamer. of California.
Many months ago, parties interested in
the constitution - and low wages - got
Miss Gamer TO bring suit to knock out
the minimum wage law for women. Miss
Gamer was assured that the constitution
would stand by her desire to work for
what wages she pleased, and she felt real
hurt by the California statute. Recently
Miss Gainier got good job at Los Angeles
and her associates began pointing the fin
ger of contumely at her as the instrument
for the cutting of women's wages. So she
directed her attorneys TO drop that suit.
They wouldn't. Then she dismissed her
attorneys. They wouldn't be dismissed,
being still red hot for Miss Gamers con-
stitutional rights, whether she wanted
them or not.
The California supreme court should
have passed on the minimum wage law by
January T. but, at this writing, is wrest-
ling with the question as to whether Miss
Gamer can change attorneys and dismiss
her suit. You see, don't you, that when
YOU take hold of the constitution, it may
be almighty hard to let go.
