with heavy production costs, low prices
and excessive outputs.

requirements for oil are the greatest in
history and growing rapidly. In the
world there are in excess of 10000, 900
motor vehicles, and of this number
more than 24000, 600 are In the United
States. It takes in excess of 10000, 900
Cailons of gasoline daily to provide fuel
for these vehicles.
1.-THE production of gasoline has in
creased 100 per cent In six years, from
200 900 900 barrels to 400,000,O00 bar
re1s, while consumption has made an
even more rapid increase.
1T Is estimated that the consump-
Zion of oil in the United States in 1929
viii reach l,100,000,00 barrels, COM
prising 100000, 900 barrels Of gasoline
and $50, 900 900 barrels Of crude oil and
fuel oils. With reasonable restriction
upon production, such huge require
ments would result in a healthy condi-
ton"

Land 40 Inch Pickerel
 Like Boa Constructor

Dr. w. r. Keith and Joe Zapatka are going around town today with their thumbs in their vest whist'ing and telling about a 40-inch pickercl weighing 23 pounds which they caught Sunday in Lake Champlain,
 It seems though the doctor and his friend have the largest catch of the season to their credit so they brought the fish home with them and carried it down the middle Of Church street to the New Britain Fish market to make the boys jealous. It is now on exhibition there. The two fishermen reported that it took them half an hour 10 land it in the boat where it raised row, almost pushing the two heroes into the cold water. After a well aimed shot with a monkey wrench the denizen of the deep was dis patched and ready to be put on ev- hibition, to clinch the believe it or not people back here in the Hard- ware City.

Between l9o5 and 1917 the road incurred bet loss of more than 450,000,000 roubles and at the end of the CZarist re- gime there was a total liability or $50, ,000,0 roubles against the prop erty.
 Then, in 1918. came the Russian revolution. It brought China new troubles. During the preceding dec ade, paper roubles had become the standard currency for all of Man churia, due to the Influence of the Russians along the railroad. The revolution broke the value of these roubles to nothing. Millions Of themselves with money that was worthless. Stones, banks, business houses went broke by the score
 Several years of utter turmoil fol lowed. Strikes and riots along the railroad were of almost daily occur renee. The Allied powers began their expeditions into Siberia, ani for a time a group of American engineers ran the road.
 Since that time there has been at least outward calm and order. The road has been run on a 50-50 basis half Russia and half Chinese. The thorny question of it's ultimate own ership has been allowed to lie ig- nored.

RAILROAD SOURCE
 OF MUCH TROUBLE
Seized Line in China a H0Od00
 Since Its Building

Washington, Aig, IA straight line is the shortest distance between two points; and the famous trans Siberian railroad. which begins at Moscow and ends in the 1,000-milc trackage of the Chinese Eastern railroad, has for more than 30 years proved the shortest distance between China-and trouble.
 It was built when China was go- ing down 10 defeat in a disastrous war It opened the great inert east ern nation to the maChinations of greedy western powers, and it has brought disquiet, lawlessness and bloodshed to China ever since. And now it may bring China into another war.
 The trans Siberian railroad is like straight line in more ways than one. With remarkably few devia- tions it follows a straight course from Moscow to Nladivostok-a trih- ute to the absolute power once helI by the cZar.
 Finding a Direct Route In the nineties, when the road was being planned, Czar Mich olas sat in his place in Leningrad-then St. Petersburg-and listened to his engineers as they displayed maps and blueprints and explained the winding curves that the road must follow in order to get the best grades. When they were all finish ed he got mp, spread out map, and laid a ruler from Moscow to Nladi- vostok With a pencil he shot d straight line from one city to the other. Then he turned to the en- gineers.
 "There," he said, 'is the route Of the trans Siberian railroad" That, at any rate, is the story they tell The railroad bears it out It is almost as straight as a ruled line all the way across Siberia.
 It was in attaining this straight ness that the railroad first brought trouble 10 China.
 Car Nicholas ordered the road built chiefly for political purposes. 10 extend Russian influence in the far east The line went straight as far as China; then it had to curve to the north to avoid Chinese ter ritory.
 China was fighting a losing war with Japan, and was in no shap" to resist any demands Russia made: so, when the Russians proposed that the line run from Chita straight 10 Nladivostok, across Chinese ter ritory, China had to agree. The road was pushed through, it's stock held by new company in which Russians and Chinese were supposed to share equally; but the Chimes" were frozen out, and the new road remained in the hands of Russians. 1 Under Russian Control Russia pushed her advantage.
 Russian courts and police weSe in | troduced all along the line, and the
 Chinese authorities found them
 selves utterly powerless in the rail-
 road zone. The situation was as
 troubling as if some foreign power say Japan, for instance-oWno i

 Then came the Boxer uprising. Russia took advantage of this de- velopment to establish strong army along the railroad, and began extensive colonization schemes. These were carried out with great brutality At the Chinese settle meth of Biagoveschensk, for in- stance. Russian troops drove 5000 men, women and children into the Amur river at the point of the bayonet The Chinese have never forgotten this.

 Saddled With Debts
 Throughout the next decade Rus sia continued with her plans for absorbing Manchuria by settlement. Every effort was made to establish Russian settlements along the line. Huge club houses churches, bar racks and residences were built along the railroad. The enormous cost of these improvements was charged to the railroad-and for this reason:
