WISCONSIN BANKS
tBx Associated Pressl

MADISON, Wis, Feb. s.
There's a fortune of more than
a million dollars hidden away in
banks of Wisconsin and if the
rightful owners don't claim il
soon the state will.
The commonwealth, through
the office of the secretary OF
state, already has notified al
banks that they must report on
accounts 90 years old or Older
within the next month.
After that it is planned to
bring suit which will transfer the
money to the state Golfers to swell
the special school aid fund.
Accounts so affected are known
as "dead" accounts, which, in
most cases, the banks holding
them have been unable to trace.

Petroleum Supply Becomes
Very Important Prob
lem To Both OF Large
Nations
Ry Associated Pressl

Ry Associated Pressl
GRENOBLE, France, Feb. S.
France, hard-pressed for an oil
supply of her own, is making an
effort to squeeze enough black
gold'' out of the billy soil of
Haute-Sayoie to make production
economically feasible.
Ii has long been known that Pc
troleum underlies many parts of
France, but the deposits are so
sparse that production has been
found possible only in a few spots
and the total domestic output has
been trifling.
Last spring the government be-
gan a survey of the Haute-Savoie
region as a possible oil source and
a company engaged in oil produc-
ton in Alsace has been brought
into the region to construct an ex-
perimental well.
Engineers plan to drill 1900
feet. They have stressed that the
work is wholly experimental
they are making no predictions
of success.
Countryfolk of the region are
less restrained. Talk of the oil
millionaires in America is rife
and some formers already are
specializing on what they win do
with their wealth.
African Quality High
France also has oil hopes in
northern Africa. A light pc
troIeum of high value is being
produced near Oran, Algeria, and
there are two producing regions
/ in Morocco. The total yield OF
African oil, however, has been
small.
France has a guarantee of one
fourth of the production of the
great Mosul oil fields, in western
Asia, but these fields are in Ifak
over which she has no control
and the oil must pass through q
pipeline across the Syrian desert
which would require careful
guarding in time of war-and
then be transported 1000 miles
by water.
England Interested
Britain, watching the course OF
various neutrality measures, has
discovered that in the event of 9
European war, she might find her
self in the same position as Italy
in regard to oil.
Like Mussolini's domain, she de-
ponds on sea communications foz
her supplies.
Whitehall bigwigs are getting
jumpy on the subject, figuring
what they would do if the nation:
supplies were cut off.
Tight-lipped generals and ad
mirals, responsible for this island
Kingdoms defense, know oil viii
be the arbiter of the next war. II
is indispensable for airplanes
tanks, motorized artillery anC
warships.
Recent reports spoke of a l.,
O00,000-gallon underground OF
reservoir being constructed neal
Plymouth Sound to hold supple.
for the British navy.
Yearly Imports Stupendous
Britain gets her oil chiefly from
Iran (Persia) and the British
West Indies and. in smaller guam
titles, from a multitude of other
sources, including America. She
owns outright only the Anglo,
Iranian Oil Company's wells.
Only seven per cent of Britain
total motor oil imports are
supplied by this concern, accord
ing to A. w. Newbury, secretar,
of the Independent Petroleum
Federation.
While the United States has 81
per cent of the worlds total year

largest oil consumer in the world
depends on foreign sources fol
more than 80 per cent of her sup

THERES a guy travelling the golf

ming golfer.
Joe Goes international"
IT'S AS a trick-shot artist, rapid
fire patter merchant and an en-
tertainer that Joe gets across. Born
Of Syrian parents in Texas, Joe first
hit the tournaments about five years
ago. His very garb was worth a laugh,
for Joe sported beret-usually red
and wore the baggiest plus-4 panties
you ever saw. But they didn't laugh
when Joe hit tee shot. He could do
that. They laughed when he putted.
Joe not only is a national favorite.
He's gone international, and he's
practically commuter between New
York and Britain during the golf
season. Bob Harlow says whenever
the pros on the other side hear that
Joe has left New York for England,
they line up at the dock to wait for
him, for Joe is always issuing chal-
lenges for a golf match and seldom
winning.
How he gets around is a mystery.
Bob says, for he seems always to be
broke, and yet he turns up in expen-
sive suites on the Queen Mary. does
the night clubs in style and lives the
life Of Reilly.
Seems 10 Make Clowning Pay.
IT ISN'T from the take" from his
trick shots, for Joe gets little out
Of that. And it isn't from his win
nings as tournament golfer. for Joe
gets little of the heavy dough. But
he gets around just the same. Joe is
a familiar figure at every major golf
tournament.
If you could see Joe turn a driver
around and hit the ball 220 yards
with the toe pointing to the ground.
you'd marvel at why he doesn't win
tournaments. He can literally make
a golf ball talk and he's Joe Kirk
woods only real rival in the trick shot
business.
Joe Ear is a clown. all right. but
he must be making it pay He refuses
to take himself seriously $50 no one
else does and the boys all look for
Joe when they want to play little
joke. He's the Nick Altrock of golf.
