REPORT SHOWS
OUTPUT OF USSR
CREW IS PERCENT
Oil Exports Doubled
Pre-War Level

While the American oil industry is
undergoing a superficial senatorial in
vestigation which merely hints at the
corruption of the corporations which
own it, and the republican party poll
ticians who further "bleed" it for
political favors or preferences, the
oil industry of Soviet Russia contin-
ues to increase in productivity
technique and social value, report
Of the Soviet Naptha Syndicate, re-
ceived yesterday, shows.
Soviet oil production for the calen-
dar year 1927 was 1O,413,O0O metric
tons, the largest annual output for
twenty-five years, while exports
amounted to 2,135,OoO tons and were
the largest on record, according to
official figures received by the Am
tory Trading Corporation, the Amer
lean Representatives of the Soviet
Naptha Syndicate.
A Reconstructed Industry.
Production of oil was 1874 per cent
greater than in 1926, while exports
showed an increase Of so per cent
over the preceding year. In 1927
Russia produced 100000 tons more
than in 1913, and oil exports were
more than double those for the last
pre-war year.
The Soviet oil industry which had
received a severe setback during the
years of civil war and intervention
in Russia has been reconstructed by
the Soviet government during the past
four years at a cost of over $780,
100000.
Reserves Are Huge.
Total drilling for the Soviet fiscal
year 1926-27, ending September 30,
1927, amounted to 367,567 meters,
100000 meters more than in 1918.
Considerable drilling for prospect
ing purposes was carried on last
year. The Soviet Geological Survey
estimates now the oil reserves of the
Baku region alone at 1,500,000,000
tons.
The Soviet. oil industry effected
notable economies in management
and methods during the past year as
indicated by a decline in the number
of workers employed, from 1888 to
36,598, in spite of the IS per cent in
crease in production. Important saw
ings were made through the introduce
ton of modern drilling and refining
methods entirely new to the pre-war
Russian oil industry.
Electrification Grows.
The Baku oil fields have been cleo
trified to the extent of SO per cent
as compared with 80 per cent in 1918.
Consumption of oil at the fields de
clined considerably in 1927, contribut-
ing to a reduction of production
costs.
The modernization of the Soviet
oil industry has resulted in increased
gross profits for oil trusts amount
ing last year according to prelim'n-
airy data, to 100,0O0,oO0 roubles.
Exports to Egypt and India are
now assuming larger proportions.

Of the incompetent classes s~..
mentioned. The answer is obvious.
Then why should we continue to
permit the lives Of the people TO be
in constant danger from those who
are incompetent, or those wso ease
not for their own welfare or the
safety and happiness of others? /
am persuaded that a practical auto
mobile operators license law prop
erly enforced would make Texas a
safer and better place in which to
live.
Il believe also that there should
be a greater uniformity Of safety
laws and regulations. Lack of uni
form rules, signs and signals
throughout the state confuse the
travelling public and increase the
opportunity for accidents. Traffic
lights on some of our city streets
do not always carry the same mean
ing as those Of other cities. For
example, in n city the red light
means that motorists and pedes-
trians alike are supposed to stop,
while in another city only motorists
arc supposed to heed the warning
Of the red signal.
"Many of the signs along our
highways are misleading. The motor
ist may suddenly find himself ap-
preaching a warning sign that says
'Stopi-And Eat at Dads Placel
Now Dad of course, is located in
the little town just a short distance
down the road. This confusion OF
sign is wrong and should be m
died. Uniformity is the solution.
Education Needed
After nearly two years of care
full study and observation, | have
come to the conclusion that the main
factor III the great task of accident
prevention is education. Safety prin-
ciples, laws, rules and regulations,
whether state, county or municipal.
cannot be properly observed unless
they are thoroughly understood BY
the public. The necessity for a
knowledge of these fundamentals
should be emphasized in every COM
munity.
1T Is my conviction that safety
education is not only essential to
the welfare Of our public, but that
this training should begin in the
lives Of children in the elementary
grades of the public schools. II Is
a source of genuine pleasure to know
that hundreds Of our public schools
have recently introduced safety edu-
cation and that thousands of bows
and girls are now receiving prae.i-
cal safety training along with their
regular school work. We presented
this matter to school superintendenrs
and teachers more than a year ago
and the response has been crafty
me. Safety training given in child
rood viii produce a class Of citi-
zens who will think safely and act
safely more or less automatically be-
cause they will have developed the
safety habit.
But safety education embraces
more than a mere knowledge Of safe
~ principles, rules and regulations
One may know every principle upon
which safety is based and every
safety law written upon the statute
books and still be a constant dar-
ger to the public and a menace 10

almost daily by the conduct Of the

abiding, safety training must reach
the consciences Of men. Are we not

Of life? Our boys and girls must

RACING
Helps field

CHANGING back over 1927, the unof-
fetal historians of the automobile
industry are finding that the revival
of interest in stock car racing has
distinct Importance TO the entire
motor world.
Perhaps no single year since the
birth of the industry has been so
filled with stock car speed and en-
durance events. Certainly stock cars
have never attained such high speed
for such long periods of time nc
fore. Enthusiasm among tho ram
and file Of motorists has risen 10
new levels.
The average motorist takes keen
celight in watching stock cars-sim-
liar TO cars he may buy in any show
room-go out on the track and make
new records. ANY owner feels a
thrill Of pride when the exact du-
plicate Of his car wins a race or an
endurance victory over cars or sim
liar price.

and all day may be seen moving around
on the dock with his dog Igloo, decid-
ing matters of policy and making deci-
sionS which will affect the more i'm
portant movements of the expedition.
Several important points were decided
last night at a conference of the pilots
and ships masters An attempt will be
made to send the Eleanor Boiling
through the ice to the Bay of Whales
twice this season instead of once, a
feat which never before has been at
tempted. If successful, it will give the
expedition a much greater opportunity
of bringing the entire personnel to-
gether on the task of exploration in
the first season instead of waiting until
the second year to get everything to-
gether.
The plan now is to send the City of
New York with the bulk of the per-
Sonnel, including the scientists, the
aviation units and the dogs, out at the
end of this week. The ship will carry
one plane and the work of exploration
and the laying of the bases will be done
as soon as she arrives at the Bay of
Whales. The Boiling will follow about
Christmas time when the ice becomes
more rotten and broken up, carrying the
other planes, houses and supplies. When
the Boiling arrives the complete unit
for scientific and aviation work will be
ON the ice equipped for the Winter.
Comdr. Byrd is much pleased at the
possibility of having more men there
this year. but even if the Boiling does
not get through the second time, the
original group of 25 men, forming a
complete organization. will be able to
spend the Winter and prepare for the
flying and scientific investigations next
year. If the second trip is made, the
party at the base will be the largest
ever assembled in the Antarctic.
A few changes have been made in the
crews of the ships and men are being
shifted from one to the other to make
more efficient working force on each.
The Boiling has been stripped of SUI
perfluouS workers and all available ac-
commodations on the City of New York
are utilized to the utmost. Questions
of rank are all forgotten in mutual
accommodations and officers camp
alongside coal passers in the forecastle
with the utmost good humor. There
are no formalitieS of precedence on an
Antarctic expedition, where each mans
life may depend on the effort and CO.
operation of every one else.
This spirit of mutual tolerance and
good will has become marked since the
entire expedition got together, factor
which will mean much for the success
of the expedition, and the happiness of
the personnel while living together in
such cramped quarters.
