process and produced from this
crude oil a semi-clear liquid
which he called Kerosene" and
which, in a proper lamp, pro-
vided the best illumination the
people of the times had ever
seen.
ALCHEMY OF OIL
The success of this improve
ment in illumination induced
a Colonel Drake to drive an oil
we'll and produce the liquid in
quantity. He had every sort of
trouble, but persevered, and on
August %, 1859, at a depth Of
50 feet, struck oil. The oil rose
to within 10 feet of the sur
face, and Drake found he could
produce 40 barrels a day. He
sold it for $40 a barrel. This
was the start of the great
petroleum industry.
Years later the demand for
gasoline for automobiles and all
forms of transportation caused
enormous quantities of the by
products, kerosene and lubricat-
ing oils, to accumulate. Only
a few gallons of gasoline were
obtainable from a barrel of
crude. A bold plan was tried.
New stills which would stand
red heat and high pressure
we're Saiit.
When batch of crude had
yielded the usual amount Of
gasoline, it was placed in this
new still, together with a GER
tain amount of hydrogen gas.
After few hours mixing, it was
cooled, removed, and redistilled.
It gave off another install
ment of gasoline.
BY repeating the process, a
large percentage of crude was
turned into gasoline and the &C
emulation of kerosene and
lubricating oils was avoided.
This was a highly significant
development, for it amounted
to transmutation, the changing
of one substance into a different
one-the alchemy of old.

Listen, World
By Elsie Robinson

Rather startling to realize that
young Americans have Jagged
behind in any new ideaS-iSn't
it? But it's so.
Though American young peo-
pie are live wires in all other
respects, when it comes to poll
tics they have less interest and
information than the young
men and women of any other
civilized country. A Euro
pean lad in his first year at
high school is more in touch
with current conditions than
our average college graduate
or married voter!
But this state of affairs is
rapidly changing. Young Amer
leans have been acutely af-
fected by the general demorali-
zation and they want to know
chow come" Moreover, they've
made up their minds to have a
finger in the pie themselves.
I'VE can't" say they to their
doubling elders, make a worse
job than you have. It can't be
done! And here's betting we
make a better. So-watch our
Smoke!"
Well-what's YOUR answer,
regardless of your age?
CAN YOUTH DO 1T?
Do YOU believe that American
young people are fit to run their
country? If so, at what age do
you think they should begin?
We've had instances recently
of young men in their tWenties
taking positions as heads of
large universities. Do you think
a 25-year-old could be a reliable
Secretary of Labor? Or head
Industry or Agriculture? Or act
as governor of a State?
Youth-W would its courage,
originality, sincerity and enthu-
siasm offset its ignorance and
inexperience? Would it clean
up the rusty wheels of state
or wreck 'em entirely?
And how about the ladies?
If man, at 81, is fit to take
part in running his country, is
a girl? Do YOU think that a
woman is ever really interested
in politics. or does love and
home come first?
Plenty of questions-but the
world would like an answer to
them all.

the idea of improving public
service. They believe-maybe
you share their notion-that
things are in a whale of a mess,
that everybody-but particularly
Youths getting a raw deal,

something about it.
And they've nominated them
selves to do the doing. Which

PARTIES CUCKOO
The new order was first
founded in the State of Wash
ington and has now spread to
Oregon and California. So far
it has concerned itself only with
local elections, but already it
has upset some cherished no
tions. First of which is the
notion that the Democratic and
Republican Parties are indiSpen-
sable to Government.

ers, sis cuckoo idea No. 1927"
or words to that effect. And
are now proceeding to build a
program which aims toward
clean politics and a square
deal, regardless of traditions
and tabooS.
In short, here's a movement
starting in America similar to
the youth movements which
have been making history
abroad for the last six years.

novel sights of their country,
led him to the place where the
town Of Cuba, N. Y, now
stands. There they showed him
a black, evil-smelling, oily liquid
which dubbed out of the ground
and drained! into nearby
stream.
He was also shown other
places where there were flow
ing springs of this black liquid.
Ancient collecting basins, lined
with flat rocks, were pointed
out. Some of them were eight
feet deep. The Indians knew
nothing of the origin of these
basins.
BREAKFAST MEDICINE
From 1903 onward, the black
liquid annoyed drillers of salt
brine wells, for it contaminated
the salt. In 1929 a salt we'll at
Burkesville, KY, struck a pool
of the liquid. 1t flowed copiouSly
and was drained into the Cum
berland River. Somehow it
caught fire and burned for fifty
miles down stream.
This black crude oil seemed to
be a particularly vile compound,
and this suggested to those of
the time that it ought to be a
good medicine. It actually was
bottled and sold around Burkes-
vile as American Medical OIL"
and became popular as an all
round remedy for man and
beast. One Samuel Kier of
Pittsburgh, Pa, bottled quanti-
ties and sold it as Seneca Oil"
A tablespoon full of crude pc
troleum before breakfast ought
to cure almost anything!
Kier thought it had other pos
Sibilities, and attempted to re-
fine it and sell it for an illu-
minant; but it Smelled so badly,
and burned with such a smoky
flame, that it was unable to
compete with beeswax, talloW
candles and whale oil.

Economy in New Deal
Blu James T. Williams, T.

Not all the professors in our
institutions of higher learn
ing" are-to employ the graphic
description by Senator Borah-
"chirping satellites" of the So
called New Deal.
On the contrary, some of
the most convincing, because
most informed, impartial and
sincere criticism of some Of the
more unsound of New Deal pro-
posals has come from the mem
bers of the faculties of our uni
verSities and colleges, who are
still independent in thought
and uninfluenced by partisan
considerations or a lust for
political power.
Take for. example the criti-
cism of certain New Deal meas
ureS contributed by university
and college professors who have
been among the leaders in the
round table discussions of the
Institute of Public Affairs at
the University of Virginia.

Typical of the power of mod
Grafton that has distinguished
most of this criticism are the
comments of DR.. Neil Carothers,
author and professor of econ
omics, and director of business
administration at Lehigh Uni
versity, Bethlehem, Pa. Speak
ing to the subject Recovery by
Statute" this authority found
much to criticise, but no ground
for peSSimiSm.
Everything that has happened
to us as Nation in recent
years, he says, was suggested by
Lord Bryce so years ago, and
definitely predicted by Lord Ma
caulay in a private letter IS
years ago.
The present period of diff
Guilty through which the coun-
try is now passing, DR.. Caroth-
erS points out, has its roots in
the industrial revolution of a
century ago.
THAT marvellous tranSfOrma-
ton of the whole occidental So

known before in history"

The extraordinary measures
reSorted to by the Federal Gov.
eminent in the last two years
may be divided into three
groups: those aimed at relief.
those aimed at reform and
those aimed at recovery.
DR.. Carothers is not particu-

and reform measures, although
he finds the one to have been
in some degree "unscientific,
wasteful and extravagant and
tainted with political motive"
