Record for Natural Gasoline

NATURAL gasoline. which is produced from
natural gas rather than from petroleum,
set a new record during 1928, when 1874 O34 ,OO0
gallons were produced. This was an increase
Of IL per cent over 1927, which was 30 per cent
over 1926, which led 1926 by 81 per cent.
The rapid strides the industry has made have
led to the construction and operation Of a num-
Der Of plants at sources Of natural gas which
are fairly lean, and has cut down somewhat
the yield in dividends from this type Of gasoline.
BY far the greater part OF this gasoline has
been used In blending gases at refineries. bue
the modern practice Of vapor-phase cracking
has cut into this market
new use for the gasoline for heating and
in various chemical industries has offset the
loss in blending and as natural gasoline Is much
in demand for aviation purposes, its future
seems fairly bright.
The gas is produced in IS States and Alaska,
with Oklahoma leading and California second.
Alaska had the smallest output.
The amount of natural gas consumed In the
production Of the gasoline last year reached the
almost incomprehensible figure Of ], 4T3 434 OOO-
600 cubic feet, the average yield being about IL
gallons of gasoline for every 1000 cubic feet
of gas

effected complete change in the manner of
wardrobe In the past year.
Whereas in the past the most modest types
of frocks have been seen consistently on her
person. recent months have brought sense OF
what is smart and her mother has aided and
encouraged her in carrying out her own ideas.
Thus gowns savoring Of chic Paris establish

along with models from F1fty-seventh street.
Gone are the dresses, the chief merit of which
was found In the excellence Of their materials
OF former years, those that were so closely
modelled after the habiliments of her mother
that If they actually were not "hand-me downs
they might better have been as far as the Duke
thrift is concerned.

daughter.
In recent years the greater part of the Duke
fortune has been invested in the aluminium in
dustry. So much SO, in fact that whereas
America has had kings of the various metals
In the past, Doris Duke is likely to be known in
the future as the aluminium queen"
Doris is not concerned now however, with
acquiring this title. Just now she Is enjoying
many of the same paStimes that other girls her
age are enjoying. And many of them she finds
more pleasurabe than other less opulently
placed misses, for they hold more that is novel
for her.
Movies, for instance. In these days when
children are practically brought up with a
certain film fare along with their elemental
book educations, it is surprising to find young
woman Of 16 years who still opens her eyes wide

The SomervilIe place holds an important place
I'm the affection Of the Duke heiress apart from
its monetary valuation, which is considered I'm
excess Of $780, 600. It there that she spent
most Of her early childhood.
A certain amount of freedom was hers while
in residence at the Jersey estate. She was free
to romp and play in the open air there like the
children she could see from the windows of her
New York home, conducting their games on the
city sidewalks, but whom she could never join.
At Somerville it was that Doris developed her
love for sports. Horses interested her particu-
larry from her earliest childhood. When very
young she was presented with Shetland pony
and In this creature she took an intensive in

in amazement at the revelations Of the silver
screen.
But it is only a short time since Doris Duke
saw her first motion picture. And that first
time was without the knowledge or approval of
her watchful mother.
It was while crossing the Atlantic that q
nursemaid, new to the Duke household intro
duced movies into the life Of the young heiress.
Doris had crossed with her mother to spend
the Summer In Europe and when the time came
for the younger woman to return to her studies
in America, Mrs. Duke decided to send her
under proper chaperonage and remain herself
on the European side Of the Atlantic for q
longer period
The Aquitania was the craft that brought
the daughter westward, and it was during that
voyage that Doris saw her first movie. Along
with seeing her first movie she also saw in real
life q motion picture star for Dorothy Gish,
who appeared In the film offering, was also on
board and was called upon for a short speech
after the movie had been shown
This Is but one Of many examples which
illustrate the simplicity which has marked the
earlier years Of the Duke heiress
I UxURIES which may be obtained by wealthy
nomads on their trips across the Atlantic do
not affect Doris. Mrs. Duke has always made a
practice of providing comfortable, but by no
means pretentious quarters for herself and
daughter on their pilgrimages to and in foreign
lands.
There have always been servants along to look
after their wants, but no de luxe suites have
been included In their bill Of expenses when the
journey came to an end.
Nor has the daughter been taught extrava-
CANT ideas Of dress. In Newport, it might be
noted. Doris Dukes clothes have long been food
for gossip. The Mother Grundies of Bellevue
avenue have insisted that she has been con-
Sistently attired in made-over outfits.
Not until this Summer has the trend of their
talk changed. For Doris. now arriving at the
age when she is addressed as Miss" Duke, has

is trimmed with cloth of gold in lavish fashion.
In spite of the cloth of gold there Is nothing

For Doris Duke Is very serious person. Being

one who Is deeply engrossed in solemn problems.
ALREADY Doris has taken an active part in
the management of her estate and in decid-

governess some time during her life, for this
sort Of living is really expected Of girls who grow
up surrounded by fortunes much smaller than
the 800, 000, 900 that Doris Is heir to.
The fact Of the matter is. however. that 1t
would be difhcult to find girl less spoiled than
Doris Duke. Her great blocks Of aluminium

wealth have not succeeded in making Doris any
thing but q charming and unsophisticated sub
deb.
Just recently Doris celebrated her sixteenth
birthday. And the type of birthday party that
Doris mother planned for her is typical of the
way the young heireSs has been reared. You
might expect that great fete worthy Of an old
world princess would have been staged, but in
stead. few friends Of the feminine Croesus

A birthday cake was there, of course, and
the Formally of blowing out the candles was
carried out with as much enthusiasm as any
girl Doris age might affect, but there was
nothing oStentatious about the festivities.
Nor has Doris Duke known any pleasures
other than those of the simplest sort in her I6
years and this. despite the fact that she is al
ready in control of much of her inheritance
from her father, the late James B. Duke,
tobacco king, and the prospect that she will
eventually have at her complete disposal the
largest fortune controlled by any woman in
America.
THE Duke fortune. of course, was founded in
- the tobacco industry of the South. Doris
