Life of Petroleum Supply Is
Question Puzzling Engi-
neers and Industrial
Leaders.
ONE of the most puzzling ques-
~ tons facing the world of engi-
neering and industry is that of the
petroleum supply. How long viii the
worlds petroleum supply hold out9
There are various estimates and
no estimate seems to hold good for
very long.
Every time a new oil field comes
in or an old one gives out, the situa-
ton changes. In recent years. the
situation has been changed greatly
by the perfection of the cracking
process" which made it possible TO
extract more gasoline from petro-
leum by breaking up or cracking
the heavy hydrocarbons and thus
turning them into gasoline.
Practically all authorities. how
ever, feel certain that the day will
arrive when the world will run out
OF petroleum.
That is why, for example, there
is so much interest in various pro-
cesses for manufacturing gasoline
from coal.
That is also the reason why it is
so important to conserve the worlds
supply of gasoline.
This important question will be
discussed in a symposium on
Chemical Engineering Processes in
the Oil Industry" during the con-
vention of the American Chemical
Society in New Orleans from March
% to April /.

Development Company, will pre-

Lesson in Defeat

T EADERS of the so-called BIZ
IL partisan coalition in congress
have assumed mistakenly that the
status quo must be maintained.
that neither the Volstead act nor
the economic lineup should be dis
turbed, and that their only recourse
was to blanket the country with a
tax.
They closed their eyes to the real
meaning of the depression and the
organized viciousness which has
doubled its effect. They would not
admit the necessity of readjust-
ment.
Defeat of the sales tax will not
have served its full purpose if it
fails to enlighten them on both
points.

litical pygmalion of the shy rustic,
has noted the reticence of his can
didate and sought to explain it in
recent interview.
Mr.. Hearst said that in all proba-
bility Garner did not want to be
tagged as either wet or dry,
and accordingly had availed him
self of the Speakers privilege of not
voting.
1t is an explanation more logical
than inspiring. I did not myself
assume that John Nance Garner
had refrained from committing
himself because he wished to be
Queen of the May. AS a receptive
candidate for the presidential nomi
nation he realizes better than his
sponsors that yea" and may" con-
stitute an inadequate vocabulary
for any one who wishes to draw
support from all factions of the
Democratic party.
You can't get along without
Don't ask me that" and II have
nothing to say at this time" and
maybe" and perhaps"
These and many other forms of
verbal guard and party are part
of the equipment of any one who
wants to go down the winding road
which leads from pussyfooter to
President.
Off on the Wrong Tack
IF I were publicity director for
Il Mr.. Garner I would abandon
the type of press agentry which has
been applied to his campaign. His
we'll wishers have been fond of
stressing his ruggedness Of charac-
ter. They would have us look at
him as he stands upon the rostrum,
gavel in hand.

able campaign documents it ever
has been my privilege to receive.

merely says, Because of business

Later it develops that the friendly
little chat is sponsored by the Gar
ner for President Club. The club
suggests that "the yardstick of
common sense should be laid down
alongside any man who offers him
self for election to Office, and only
those who come nearest measuring
up to that yardstick we should
support"
But in getting down to precise
specifications the GarneriteS are a
good deal less than tactful in pre-

She could be outstanding, she probably

Her friends. however, probably realize
what a remarkable person she is.
In any group endeavor, she probably
does more real work than any one pres

that she does more than her share.
Some people may impose on her good
nature and willingness, but she should
not expect a word of complaint from
her.
If she has children her greatest
pleasure is perhaps in their achieve
ments. She probably points with pride
to her son or daughter, telling what
each has done. Throughout her life
she possibly has sacrificed so that her
family might be happy and comfortable.
In all probability she seldom really
rests. Even when sitting quietly, alone
or with friends, her fingers are perhaps
busy with some form of needlework.
Her patience would perhaps enable
her to create some of the delicate en-
broideries and laces which are at pres
ent so popular again. Though in the
past she may have done this work for
her own family it might be possible
for her to earn a small income for her
