So far the war scare has not
caused an unprecedented demand
for oil. This, it is assumed, is due
to the fact that all the warning
nations have had their tanks filled
to capacity.
However. the situation is such
that the sharp curtailment in crude
output may not long be necessary.
The Texas Railroad Commission, eff
fective Sept 1, reduced crude out

Oklahoma reduced its output 49,

Tanker Shortage
One Of the most critical shipping
problems will prevail in the event
of a prolonged war. Regardless
Of the large increase in tanker
fleets since the last war, 1t is felt
that serious difficulties will arise in
making oil shipments. Belligerents
certainly will try to intercept and
destroy as many oil transport ships
as possible.

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGES

You know what great hand
Peter Rabbit is to stay out all night.
He did just that thing that night
after listening to the twilight song of
Melody the Wood Thrush. Just be-
fore it was time for jolly, round, red
Mr.. Sun to kick off his rosy blank

the blue, blue sky, Peter started for
home in the dear Old Brier Patch.
Everywhere, in the Old Orchard,
in the Green Forest, on the Green
Meadows, his feathered friends were
awakening. AS he hoped along,

asked.
Melody nodded. 1T is in little

"and Mrs. Wood Thush is sitting on
five eggs this blessed minute. Isn't
that perfectly lovely?"
It was Peters turn to nod. What

FORD TRI-MOT0R FORCED DOWN ON

Plane Carrying Body of Mrs. Perry Hern Spends
 Night on FIats

Three men spent a griSsly night with a corpse last night on the dis maj wind chilled flats before David son Glacier in Lynn Canal after being forced down in a tri-motor Ford plane on a flight from Juneau to Skagway late yesterday after noon.
 Verne Brookwalter, White Pass ailways pilot from Skagway, flew to Juneau yesterday afternoon with his co-pilot, Merritt Boyle. an d Skagway mortician, Perry M Hern, Jr., to take to Skagway the body of Hern's mother, who died here Thurs day night in St. Ann's Hospital.
 The party left here at 3:15 o'clock yesterday afternoon with visibility decreasing swiftly. Shortly after ? in the evening, Skagway wired Ju neau to begin search if Book walter had not returned here. : KINY was enlisted to raise light keepers at Sentinel Island and FL dred Rock. Sentinel Island reported to the U. s. Signal Corps plane had been seen and heard passing northbound between three and four o'clock Eldred Rock did not report.
 Juneau pilots Alex Holden and Shell Simmons were prepared to be- gin an immediate search for the missing plane, which carries no radio, it is understood, but shortly after ' o'clock this morning, fol- lowing daybreak, word was flashed from Skagway that Brookwalter had arrived there safely
 Brookwalter said he had run into bad weather and was forced to land his big ship at Glacier Point sand flats before Davidson Glacier at the mouth of Chilkat Inlet, about ten miles south of Haines.
