The Washington times., 1930-11-12

An average of approximately
$28.97 was spent by each motorist
of the United States last year
on his tires and tubes, according
to compilation just made by the
American Motorists Association.
The associations estimate is
based upon production figures
furnished by tire manufacturers
to the Census Bureau, showing
that the average value per tire
last year was $3.50, while the
average value per tube was $1.21.
Each motorist. used an average
Of 3.O4 tires and 800 tubes per
capita in 1929, the figures show.
Thomas j. Keefe, Of the A. M. A.,
says:
Largely because Of the de-
cline In crude rubber, coupled
with competition among the
tire manufacturers, the price of
automobile tires today b lower
than during any year since
1924, an analysis Of the figures
I show.

OIL WELL
WAS DRILLED
IN 1858

Seventyone years ago. IN 1859,
the petroleum industry in the
United States consisted Of one
well. SO feet deep. capable OF
producing q maximum Of Is bar
rels OF oil q day. and represent
ing 3 total investment Of q few
thousand dollars.
Since that time TOO, 900 oil
wells have been completed In this
country. Today there are about
$4,000 active wells In 10 States,
producing 2,5O0.0 900 barrels per
day. This represents an invest
ment In oil lands and producing
properties alone Of S5 SOC, ,OO0, 900.
From 50 feet the depth Of wells
has increased to thousands, one
West Virginia wen reaching q
depth Of 1885 feet.
But even more startling has
been the development Of the re.
filming industry, practically non
existent In 1859. Oil in the early
days was a rather useless curl
ostty. But gradually it became
understood that good oils are
made, not found, and the refin-
ing industry was born. Today
$40 refinerieS, making lubricants
ana gasoline, represent a good
share Of the $12 2,O00, ,OOO, 900 In
vested In oil in this country. N
Modern scientists are placing
more and more stress on the re-
filming phase of the oil industry,
while the source Of the crude oil
assumes secondary Importance,
according TO a recent series OF
surveys conducted by the New
York University Bureau Of BuSi-
ness Research.
oil IL transported by more than
100, 900 miles Of pipe line, las, 900
tank cars, 4o4 ocean-going tank
ships, q multitude Of small boats
and barges, and a huge fleet OF
motor trucks.
Nearly 5000, 600 Americans make
their living from the oil industry,
and an estimated 2,250,000 more
get returns on investments in oil
lands. company stocks and other
securities.
In a single lifetime oil, begin
ming as nothing, has become one
Of the greatest and most necessary
Of all our giant industries. Its
history Is one Of the most dra-
matte chapters in the story Of
American economic development.

POWELL'S LATEST
NOW AT INDIANA

Street of Chance" William
Powells first starring picture for

exciting highly dramatic pictures of
the year, is now being presented at
the Indiana theater.
Charlie Davis and his band are
being featured on the stage in the
Publix presentation Now and
Then which also features Charles
Withers and his company in The

In Street of Chance" Powell,
who undoubtedly creates the most
fascinating role Of his career, is cast
as a notorious gambler, a cold
cynical man, feared and respected
by all who know him. With keen
insight and understanding Powell
is said to make Natural Davis, the
pictures dominant figure, q char
acter of moods; man torn between
his uncomfortable desire to gamble
and the better Judgment that tells
him that it is impossible for him
to continue his gambling life for
ever.
Street of Chance" is said to. be
literally packed with suspense
filled situations that build up in
logical and convincing fashion to a
breath-taking, powerful climax. For
this latest Paramount production is
always an absorbing picture in
which imaginative direction and the
splendid acting of the supporting
cast are effectively blended with
story of unusual interest.
The supporting cast includes Kay
Francis, Regis Toomey and Jean
Arthur. All the players are said
to be we'll cast and give restrained,
sympathetic performances.
