impossible to see the nearby shore.
Fearing that the Macknac was so
badly damaged that she would sink,
he sent the pilot to the hurricane deck
to determine the direction OF land.
Panic Narrowly Averted.
Guided by the pilots directions, he
said. he blindly turned the Mackinac
towards shore and her momentum
carried her up on the beach. The next
few minutes were filled with agonlzed
activity as he and members OF the
crew strove to avert panic among the
messengers. The swift arrival of
launches from Navy vessels nearby

coming panic-stricken, 1t was be-

of them remained on the ship until

CONSERVATION
OF OIL URGED
BY COOLIDGE

A short time ago President Cool
ldge wrote to the Secretaries Of War,
Navy, Interior and Commerce giving
his reasons for appointing them az
a Federal Oil Conservation Board.
Waste not, want not, must be the
motto of the producers as we'll as
the government. The demand for
refined oils is fast rising and the
present production outruns the i'm
mediate demand SO the great problem
reduces itself to the regulation and
conservation of production.
Inc government is interested in
the welfare Of the oil industry even
more than in conserving it's own
lands for the navy, the army and the
Shipping Board fleet. AS a manu-
featuring nation the United States
m~ust~not run short of petroleum.
The sane policy is regulation. Mi.
Coolidge says that it is becoming i'm
possible ito conserve oil in the
ground under our present leasing
and royalty practices if a neighbor-
ing owner or lessee desires to gain
possession of his deposits" A dis
quieting phase of the situation is
that, while there is at the present
overproduction, drilling for oil goes
feverishly on because 1.-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 Cabinet oil-saving board is x
pected to enlist the aid of repre-
sentatives Of the oil industry" in an
inquiry with which 1t is charged.
Mr.. Coolidge observes that the indus
try might be permitted to determine
its own future" were it not for the
fact hat it is Intimately linked
with the industrial prosperity and
the safety OF the whole people" That
consideration makes it the duty of
the Government to "join forces with
business to bring about practical
conservation" When the President
speaks Of safety" he has in mind
the supplying Of u armed forces
with petroleum. In his letter there
Is this significant paragraph.
