CIRCUS PEOPLE GET
T RINGLING'S PRAISE
Magnate Declines to Permit occa'
aonal Boxing Bouts in Con.
ia
nection With Show.

NEW YORK, September z (N.AN.A).
What John T. Ringing said about
the circus and the prize fight In Madi-
son Square Garden. shows how con-
sentative and consciously respectable an
institution the circus has become.
MY business means too much to me"
che. circus magnate announced, "for me
to ALLOW it to be mixed with prize
fights" and thereupon he declined to
boxing to go on occasionally during the
Spring circus period in the garden.
Time was when some church people
frowned upon the circus as near to sin
full. The advent Of the menagerie gave
it the prestige Of being instructive, and
In the fullneSS Of years it has become
generally accepted as wholesome ana
safe. 80!
Like the vaudeville people, the circus
personnel have won social standing and
o name for responsibility. Cursing Is
necking in the movies, but circus and
vaudeville are pure, old-fashioned, SIM
ple-hearted.

even If they wanted to. Their work de-
mands that they always keep in train

Regarding the prize fight society, city
society may recognize it as respectable,
but circus opinion is more conservative
and more particular.

JAPAN CONCERNED
! OVER OIL SUPPLY
Growth of Navy and Mer-
chant Marine Forces Coun-
try Into World Market.

Japan's rise to world power, with the
attendant growth Of its navy and mer-
chant marine, has forced that country
into the market for oil, the scarcity of
which is causing the Rising Sun gov
eminent no little concern, according
to Consul E. r. Dickover of Kobe.
Writing in the weekly report Of the
Bureau Of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce of the Department Of Commerce,
Mr.. Dickover pictures. the Japanese
navy and merchant marine as "contin-
ually encroaching on the supplies OF
oil available for industries"
Depends on Imports.
with its domestic sources insufficient,
more on importS-a state of affairs
which is causing the government to
develop all possible sources under its
control. At present about one-third Of
the oil consumed is of Japanese ORR
gin, and it is believed the growth Of
demand will outstrip whatever in
creased volumes of domestic oils can
be obtained.
For obvious reasons Japan Is not
willing that her fleets should be de-
pendent on foreign oil sources, and
with this in mind the government, II
local production can be sufficiently in
creased. will divert the flow so as to
make the fleets independent, leaving
the industries to rely on imports.
Americans Control Market.
The local market for lubricants is
9argely In the hands OF two large
American companies and one large
British company. Although their prices
are rather higher than those command
ed by domestic oils, the quality and
uniformity Of their products have
largely offset this disadvantage-sig
cant because Japan is, In most In
stances, a price market. 1t Is only IN
the lower grades of oils that Japanese
producers attain large sales volume
and the grades which these producers
offer are so lacking in uniformity that
their sale Is restricted in general to less
exacting consumers with whom price Is
the primary factor. Cutting oil appears
to be the only type which can be sup
piled satisfactorily from local sources.
Rapeseed oil Is widely used by indus
trial concerns for this purpose, and ap-
parently 1t is highly successful.
Japan consumes, generally speaking,
the same types and grades OF oils
which are supplied to the American
market, but at present automobile oils
and airplane oils have very small part
in the sales volume. Motor vehicles In
use number but around 10000 and the
number Of airplanes, from the stand
point Of oil consumption, Is tnsigntf1-
cant. The merchant fleet, however,
provides a large outlet for marine oil.
There are registered at present about
$500 steam vessels, in addition to 40
large Diesel-equipped ships now in the
course Of construction.
In spite of the increasing demand,
there was q marked decline in imports
Of lubricants in the past three years
from 412,347 barrels In 1925 to 266, 664
IN 1927 and 304,0S2 In 1928. This de-
crease Is partly due to the building Of
reflneries which furnish domestic
output Of lubricants, and partly to in
dustrial depression. The United States
