Say, I g--s a lot of business in

You know The Times doesn't pay
off until noon, and I'm sure not go
ing In a bank without a perfectly
valid excuse in this day of bandits
and sawed-off shotguns."
After making the rounds Of the
office the City Ed armed me with a

Mitchell, the cashier who smelled
of a blue.steel revolver last Thurs

piled, looking as II he was about to
seize a revolver and police whistle.
Never mind. never mind, you re-

After modifying Mitchell, I "es-

Sure is a heck of an assignment"
thought. II wish the City Editor
had to do this himself"
RI HE next stop was AZ Forty

Here | got a change for the

210.pound cop cycling me suspiclously

CRUDE OIL OUTLOOK
NOTED WITH ALARM
Expert Says Consumption
and Imports Exceed Pro-
duction and Exports.

Foreseeing an alarming situation
with regard to comparative produc-
ton and consumption of petroleum in
the United States before the end Of
the present year, j. A. Phelan, oil ex-
pert for the Shipping Board, declared
in statement yesterday that consump-
tion and imports of petroleum for this
country during 1925, for the first time,
will exceed production and exports.
This means that some oil will be taken
out or storage, and. unless some large
new fields are discovered, the supply
or OIL in storage will be gradually
diminished.
Even though Mr.. Phelan sees a total
production for 1925 of more than $780,
600, 600 barrels of petroleum. in excess
of the record production of 1923, the
record for the first six months of 1925
shows an alarming increase in the
consumption of by-products of petro-
leum. Gasoline consumption will run
at least 90 per cent more than the
corresponding months of the previous
year, while the average increase in
use of other by-products will be in
excess OF II per cent over the same
period last year.
u. s. Still Heads List
from q world standpoint, Mr.. Phe-
Ian said, the United States still stands
out as the great oil-producing coun-
try, and were 1t not for the fact that
our consumption is increasing at a
tremendous pace, with new uses be-
ing found for crude oil and its by
products, there should be no serious
cause for alarm. The consumption
feature is causing the uneasiness
among observers at present.
At the present rate of increase in
consumption, at least 1000, 900 900
barrels of oil will be needed to supply
the United States in 1927 n produc-
ton which even the most optimistic
oil man cannot figure on, Mr.. Phelan
said.
All over the world, he added, the
returns indicate decreased oil produc-
ton with gradual and steady decline
in the production of the high grade
fields and diminution in the lowg grade
Smackover field of Arkansas Mexi-
can and South American production is
diminishing, although Russian and
Persian production holds up we'll
Supply on Hand July /.
Exclusive OF the refined products in
storage. Mr.. Phelan said, there was

on July /. This should not be viewed
from a pessimistic viewpoint by con-
sumers of by-products Of crude petrol
cum, for, he added there is enough
proved territory Gin the United
States to warrant a drilling campaign
of two years to result in increased
production sufficient to forestan an
oil panic. In addition a new wildcat
field may be discovered at any time.

Hardest Sounds to Hear.

Syllables ending in ing" are the
most difficult for human ears to grasp,
while those with IS" W. and ~"
apparently are the easiest. These
conclusions have been reached
through recent scientific investiga-
tions, says the Popular Science
Magazine. In tests with a large
audience in an acoustically poor
auditorium only 48 per cent caught
sounds such as ting" and bong"
while 90 per cent to 100 per cent were
right on sounds like wis" and "yox."
The sounds ID" "b" and "th" made
q poor score.

ActiO71 of Money
Rates Big Puzzle
To Wall Street
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 14.-One of
the most absorbing topics in Wall
street at present is the question OF
whether money rates have def
ritely turned upward. While a
stiffening tendency invariably sets
in during the late Summer and
early Fall as surplus funds flow to
the interior to finance the harvest
ing Of crops, some bankers believe
1t still is a little early for this
movement.
High money rates are ordinarily
regarded as bullish on business. but
they frequently have q restraining
effect on speculative operations in
the stock market and are a reac-
tionary influence on the prices of
bonds, particularly of high-grade
issues on a low-yield basis.
