NEW YORK, November 30.-Oil ex-
ecutives and observers the country over
anticipate that the annual meeting of
the American Petroleum Institute, which
opens tomorrow in Chicago, will be the
most momentous in the history Of the
organization. The view is based on
events Of the last year and current con-
ditions in the industry, which repre-
sents invested capital Of approximately
$4,000, 100000 and gives employment to
nearly 100000 persons.
~ae year has been the most eventful
the petroleum business has known. It
has witnessed real progress. within the
industry itself, in the matter of con-
serving oil resources; producers and re-
finers have combined in an agreement
to eliminate unfair and improper trade
practices and methods; mergers of great
magnitude have occurred, and the whole
map Of the industry is still in a state
of readjuStment: the consumption of
petroleum and products has increased,
and the companies. through greater eff
flciency and wisdom of management,
have, in the main, earned greater re-
turns for their stockholders than ever
before.
Conservation and the further de-
velopment Of the institutes newly for
mulated and adopted code of ethics, in
volving uniform marketing practices,
will, OF course, be the basis for i'm
portant discussions at the sessions. One
Of the high lights of the convention,
however, will be the address of Sir
Henri Deterding, general managing d.
rector Of the Royal Dutch Shell oil
interests, who is considered one of the
worlds greatest authorities in petro-
leum.
Sir Henri is making a special trip to
the United States to attend the meet
ing, his visit being the second occasion
the Royal Dutch executive has come
to this country for a discussion of
problems in the petroleum industry. In
March this year he a. tended a meet
ing of the institutes '-1ard of directors
and pledged co-opers ,lon in a contem-
plated agreement be ,ween producers to
hold the 1929 out-ut of crude oil In
the Western Hem" phere to the level of
1928. The propc sal, recommended by
the Institutes committee on world pro-
6uction and CT assumption after a sur
vey had disclosed a state Of over-pro-
duction of oil. did not become effective
however, for the Federal Oil Conserva-
ton Board declined to approve it.

Cosmetics for the World.

The manufacture of cosmetics in the
United States has bounded ahead
enormously in the past few years. The
women of the whole world have had
their beauty formulas and have made
use of them for ages. but they have
never had these preparations in such
variety and in such convenient shapes
as are put up by the manufacturers in
this country Since 1910 the exports of
toilet preparations and perfumes have
increased by 1000 per cent and have
now reached the value of S9,S50,00
Most Of this material goes to Europe,
but Asia is also a good customer.

NEW YORK, November 30.-There
are about 100000 persons in the
country. OF these possibly 100000
dabble with the stock market, either
regularly or on occasion.
The remaining 11S,000.000 have no
interest in the transactions on the ex-
change and are not affected by them.
A writer in an Eastern publication
points this out in the belief that the
Importance Of stock market fluctuations
is being overemphasized.
The stability of the financial condi-
ton Of the American public is illus
trated by the fact that more than co.
100000 life insurance policies are owned
in the United States. American pros
perity is too sound to be imperiled by
the folly of 2 per cent of the people.
