Oil Loss Heavy

THE handling of oil from the well to the
refinery has always been a costly PROPOSE
tion because of the loss through evaporation
Of the lighter hydrocarbons. However, condi-
ming as high as they did 10 years ago, when
the average was about 6.2 per cent Investi-
CATION recently led to the belief that the loss
now is down as low as per cent, perhaps, but
even at that figure the annual loss would be
in excess of 100000 barrels.

old Whahng Trips

IN THE odd days Of the whaling industry
the men who went to in search OF
these priced creatures of the deep were often
gone from home as long as three or four years
at time.
Each whaling ship carried four sharp-prowed
boats When whale was sighted these boats
were let down into the water, each one manned
by q helmsman, four oarsmen and a heads
man. The helmsman carried sharp harpoons,
to which lines were attached, and threw them
into the body of the whale.
Then began a great battle. The headsman
attacked the whale with lances, but the mad-
dened monster often dragged the boat for
many miles through the water. Often, too, he
dived to the bottom, and the lines on the har-
poons that held him paid out for thousands
of feet.
Eventually, however, the whale had to come
back to the surface to breathe, and then he
was killed by a lance thrust in a vital spot.

Two and one-half million workers marched

I tottered home asking myself how such

Christmas Library
Continued From Third Pace.
(Copyright. 1934.)

Furnishes them by relegating them to the back
of his large, rambling, unordered bookcases and
forgets them. Others he rereads in season
and out because he likes the zest and swing
OF their poetry or the originality of their
prose.
His favorite of all Christmas literature is
George Withers "a Christmas Carroll" 1t
speaks clearest to him of bygone era. He
likes its chant that Christmas is primarily
time to be merry. He likes to come upon
such favorite old lines as Drown sorrow in
cup of wine" and Care will kill cat"
The economic aspects of the season are OF
equal interest. Favorite text books" on the
origin and history of Christmas are by such
authors as Clement Miles and W. F. Dawson.
He likes their stories of seasonal largesse;
Henry of England feeding friend and foe
alike when Christmas found him far from home
and in the act of conquering France; of Rich
ard II ordering wholesale slaughter of cattle
to insure every man in England a modest
Christmas pie
His real enthusiasts are for the more serious
aspects Of the theme. Dickens does not i'm
press him. He is surprised and disappointed
that Shakespeare didn't make more of Christi
mas. Even more distressing is the lack Of
interest of American writers, past and present.
He thinks this is because the Puritans turned
Christmas into sort of Good Friday and
it has never recovered.
Almost nothing is published nowadays, he
laments, except for children, and he isn't in
terested in that. The Americans who do write
make more of the giving of gifts than of the
c0nviviality, and that, he holds, is hardly in
the line of the best Christmas tradition in
literature or in life.
Some day, the Senator ELECT avows, he's
going to take time off and find out what he
really has in his collection. He will gather
the things he has in his Baltimore home and
his place on the Eastern Shore and arrange
and catalogue them. He says he isn't a real
collector, but Just man who has bought a
lot of books about Christmas because he Likes
them.
