 "I stood it several months" he said, land I know rents are high here and that the old villagers, the ones that gave the village it's name, have gone. But the East Side is no answer to the problem, at least for me. The city won't clean off the snow in the winter and the place is full of dead cats"
 Less fastidious souls. however, who manage to put up with the wind that howls through the cracks of old houses, are sticking 1t out in their cheaper quarters and drawing a steadily increasing number Of idealists around them.

USING MORE OIL
 THAN IS PRODUCED
American Fields Seem to Be
 Rapidly Diminishing

New York, Nov. 16.-tP-Amer- ica is consuming nearly gallon of oil a day for every man, woman and child and is producing slightly less than that, speakers at the first mid year session of the American asso- citation of petroleum geologists an nounced yesterday.
 Moreover, they said. there is like }ihood of steadily increasing de- mand in view Of the introduction of new and varied appliances requiring oil for their operation.
 Scientists interested in oil and in the more abstract phases of geology attended the first days meeting which dealt largely with the oil in dustry in Venezuela and Colombia, held by American importers to be his country's principal outside source.
 According 10 F.. De Golyer, presi- dent of the Amerada corporation and Colombia are replacing Mexico in this respect,
 Mexico, whose sDurt in the indus try was at its peak four years ago. in the days when Mexican Pete was a pass word on the lips of all stock market spectators, still is an important source, according to De Golyer.
 At one time, he said, the Mexican fields were producing approximately 190,o00,0Go barrels annually while today production has fallen to slightly more than fG0,0o0.000 bar rels. At the same time the Venezue- Ian and Colom bian fields are pro cressing with prospects of greater production.
 De Golyer said the industry is not alarmed at prospects of exhausted supply, either in this country or abroad.
