well now has 350,000 successors in twenty two States, some of them more than two miles deep.
 The first refinery was primitive still, capable of cooking" five barrels of crude oil per day. The 500 refineries of today constitute one of the nations foremost industries. They have combined capa- city of nearly four million barrels per day. The first petroleum pipe line was five miles long. Today system of 112,OOO miles effects great savings in transporta- tion costs for the consumer of petroleum products.
 The quantity of gasoline obtainable from barrel of crude has been doubled since 1920, and billions of barrels of oil have been saved. The industry spends twelve million dollars year on research activities, through which 300 new pro- ducts have already been added to the orig inal kerosene.
 The industry's own complete system of distribution makes petroleum products available in the renotest sections Of the country. Prices today, except for taxes, are half of what they were in 1920. Qual- ity is incomparably better. As famed as sterling silver" for quality and reliability have become the industry's products whose brand names national advertising has made by-words in nearly every house. hold. New products are quickly made known, and rapidly widening use of pet roleum in it's many forms has brought about the industry's amazing growth.
 Progress marches on. Fifty years hence science will have made petroleum useful to us in ways of which we do not even dream today.

Magic OF The Sea"
Rugged Coasts, Old Seaports, Cleaning Light houses, Maritime Activities of New England At. tract Travellers from all Parts of Continent
 Inland Visitors Intrigued

The salt tang of the Atlantic car be smelled half way across the con. tinent, apparently, for 1t attracts hundreds of thousands of people te New England every summer.
 Some of them go back to check up on the stories their great uncleS told about the whaling ports. Some of them go to learn the surprising difference there is between fresh water bathing and salt. Some 0i them just want to see an ocean liner pulling out from its dock.
 The maritime quality of New England is one of the most appeal ing of all Its recreational resources, says the New England Council There is some magic about the sea Itself and its historic part in Amer lean life. The mysteries of the tides are one thing In a space et six hours the sea will change from its full tide, tapping high up on the beaches and among the rocks, to lowest ebb, exposing the glistening plant growths on the rocks and leaving broad wet reaches of sand teeming with marine life. There will be a difference of anywhere from seven to twenty feet in the depth of the water, a phenomenon that never fails to intrigue visitors from inland.
 Magic of Sea
 Then the varying aspects which the sea puts on have their own magic. Sunrise and sunset, the typ ical sunny day with the long, cool combers rolling in from the sharp line of the colud-banked horizon to smash in 8 smother of green and white on the shore. Then a day when the sky Is of wet grey wool and e mighty wind piles up a black sea into snow capped mopuntains of hurrying water. You learn what excitement can be then. On another day perhaps e white, silent fog will sheathe the world. Wherever you stand you can see but @ few feet right around you. But you hear all the noises of the sea-the boom ol the surf, the eerie clank of Q bell buoy out by the reef, the blat anc whistle of boats feeling their way.
 Mostly you will spent whole day; sitting, walking, sleeping on tht sand, soaking up the warm sun cooling of with frequent plunges 1T the clear green water. You VII discover what food can taste like and how important 1t can be. wher you have been breathing spicy al from of the ocean for an hour oi two. The same sea that gives you the appetite gives you the food k satisfy it-fish caught that morning out in front of your hotel, broilec live lobster sizzling in melted but. ter, q steaming heap of tasty clans tender sweet scallops.

and WiscaSset, Gloucester, New Bed- ford, New London. There will you see the trim stone warehouses where the teas and spices and fabrics of the Orient once lay after their long fast trips in the mighty clippers. You will see fine white mansions. built out of shipping fortunes, topped by widows walk" where families anxiously watched each day for @ sign of the towering can- vas of a homecoming ship. You will see the long piers, of stout tim Der and granite, where outgoing cargoes of rum and tobacco and Yankee-made machinery and im- plements were piled, with forty feet of clear water alongside.
 You will find in museums fine paintings of famous ships, whee's and bells and >spars from them. log books of great voyages, the har- poons and lances and knives of the whaler, finely wrought models of ships, skilfully carved "scrimshaw' work of walruS tusks and whale bone. In one place you will see whaler itself, the Charles w. Mor- gan, preserved for all time just as 1t returned from its last voyage.
 Maritime Life
 But in some of these ports and in others you will see that maritime life in New England is not all of the past. Tn some of the harbors you will see tankers up from Mexico. freighters in from Rangoon, Singa- pore, Rio, West Africa, China; lux ury liners steaming majestically down the bay 10" Europe and the tropics. You will even see sail still in use for the coastal lumber boats Grain elevators rear their clean white sides; rumbling coal tipples hustle uncannily about their work crated automobiles are swung high in the air by the long cargo booms Then you will want to be alongside

~ N this day and age we are apt to
 take things for granted. While
 we live more comfortably and - work less than our grandfath- CTS did, it is hard to realize how com pletely CUT modern way of living is de- pende~ 'rtain products developed a comp. short time ago. Take pe- troleun., .. instance.
 Try to imagine: Twenty-eight million automobiles stalled on the highways, air planes unable to leave their fields, mil lion farm tractors completely useless, all industry at standstill, millions of homes without heat and light, many necessary medicines unavailable to the sick, trans portation halted, the food supply of great cities stopped!
 Can you picture such calamity? Stop the flow of oil, and all these things will happen. Our machine age literally runs on oil. Not wheel turns without it. Pet roleum is as essential to our welfare as is the keystone to an arch. Fortunately, AHleTlc6 LdS uO CauSS AoL didLAH. OuAAlS the geventy-seven years of it's existence, the petroleum industry has never failed to supply all needs.
 The story of petroleum is an epic of the New World, story of daring pioneers, of men with vision and imagination, and with courage to carry their ideas into action. In 1859 few business men decided to risk $2,000. They engaged Edwin L. Drake to drill well for oil at Titusville,. Pennsyl- vania. The enterprise came to be known as "Drakes Folly" This $2,000 folly of three short generations ago is now the thirteen-billion-dollar American petroleum industry. The original sixty-nine-foot

for that moment when the tugs come alongside, first one and then another mooring line s snaked in, and there begins to appear a thin silver of open water. The boat IS sailing. When next its engines are stilled Its passengers will be look. ing across at 6 sparkling tropical village or at the great docks Of European port.
 Often in the harbor you will see a small gray boat zooming swiftly by, or a great seaplane roaring overhead. It's the coast guard, keeping its vigilant watch for im- perilled lives and for law breakers. Slipping quietly out to sea will be a battle cruiser, destroyer. a sub- marine of the Navy. Thousands of white sails will enthrall you as their shippers loaf about the bays or en- gage in tight races.
 Lighthouses
 Out on a rocky headlarid you will be able to drive right up to a tall gleaming light house. Step inside and see what c science tidineSs can be. Metal and glass twinkle immac- ulately, ship shape" Floors and walls and the winding staircase up the tower are orderly and spotless. Up top great lenses and powerful lights stand ready fe: their all night vigil of warning to mariners. Below you stretch the brown rocks and then the broad carpet of a sparkling sea. But you will hear about times when winter seaJ have sprayed the lofty floor you stand on and when anxious watchers saw distressed vessels fight their way from the reefs.
 Between the whiles of your lock- ing at maritime New England you will be wanting to have part in It. There are plenty of ways. Climb aboard an excursion boat and cruise the islands and coves. Hire a stout launch that will take you out to deep water for a days fishing. Make friends with the captain of a trawl- CT and get him to take you out to Georges Shoals. Spend a lot of time along the beaches anG rocks. fishing eating, bathing, loafing; and lot of time around the docks not talking so much as listening.
 You'll lear'l Q lot and be glad to know 1t, about why the sea means so much to New England. t

Easter Bunny
With Ne1U Moon

Tradition abounds in the popular
American customs that surround
Easter eggs and "bunnies," ia
miliar to every child who has been
taught the occasions significance.
The connection between Easter
and the rabbit is said to come from
the fact that the hare is a symbol
Tor the moon, which determines the
date Of Easter. In Egyptian, the
name Of the hare also means ito
Open," hence the association of the
hare with the opening of new life at
spring festivals.
The egg is an obvious symbol Of
the spring awakening. The bright
colors of painted eggs symbolic
hues Of the Easter sun and the Joy
which follows the whiteness of win
ter. In Germany, where both Eas-
ter rabbits and eggs originated,
children are told that if they are
good white hare will steal down
the chimney and hide brightly-col-
ored eggs in the house. In MANY
foreign places the Easter hare is
as important a figure as Santa Claus
at Christmas.
If young men IN some English
villages can catch a hare and pre-
sent it to the parson before 10 a. m.
on Easter Monday, the rector is
bound by an old law to give them
100 eggs, calls head and a groat.
Egg rolling on the White House
lawn, a popular Easter custom at
Washington, began soon after the
close of the Civil war. Originally
the annual affair took place on the
Capitol terrace. When authorities
complained that children were
harming the turf, President Hayes
and his wife invited youngsters to
do their egg-rolling on the White
House lawn. The event has been
annual ever since.
