Montana refiners manufactured
13O,534,475 gallons of gasoline
exceeding the total required gallon
age of this state by 1892 gallons.
This is the first time, also, that
Montana refiners have produced
gasoline to equal the Montana de-
mand.
Montana refiners exported 4O.-
055,733 gallons of gasoline. in 1889
as compared with 33,2O5.234 gal
Ions exported in 1888.
subtracting exports from the
number of gallons manufactured,
the total sales of Montana-made
gasoline in Montana amounted to
9O,47S,742. Imports shipped In
4,059,949 gallons and shipped 49,
14s gallons out of Montana,
making the net of 39,940,801 gallons
sold in Montana. The ratio of
sales is 20 per cent Montana-made
and 80 per cent of imported gaso-
line. The figure for 1898 was 66.6
per cent of Montana-made to 1914
per cent of imported gasoline.
There is every probability that
this ratio of imported gasoline will
drop even lower during the year
1910, refiners state, as all the prin-
cipal marketers save one are using
at least part Montana-made gasoline
as a result Of the growing demand
for Montana-made products. coupled
with the new rail rates which give
to Montana refinery
centers.
The all-time record for any one
month was August Of this year
when Montana refiners produced
and sold 16,198,770 gallons of
gasoline and importers sold 1926
146 gallons.

called Cobb nose" which is Just
east of the Darling pool in which
oil is found in all three sands: the
Moulton or Upper Sunburst, Sun

wells have been drilled on the
Cobb nose: one a 10000, 600
foot gasser in the Moulton sand
and the other a small gasser in the

was the barber who followed the
trade of blood-drawing in the
DAYS when blood-letting was con-
sidered a cure-all for most bod

This drawing Of blood was
called ''phlebotomy." II made the

II required many years for the
barber to rise above this con-

Nineties. some barber shops did
a thriving business in the un-

one such shop was situated on
Stanton Street, near the Bowery,

quite a collection of extracted

Anything from a headache to a

BY these crude methods he

The apprentice system of
teaching barbering had been ira

often inheriting the practice of

barbering has been simple

furniture and has been at differ

pany of Barber-Surgeons." For
over 200 years this Guild pre-
sided over the affairs of the
barber-surgeons, the surgeons
being always assisted by the bar
Der who owned the necessary
cutting instruments, basin and
towels. When each, profession
went its own way barbering prac-
tice lost all contact with the Gre

In America barbering was no
better nor worse than in Eu-
rope For many years there ex-
listed no body of scientific knowl-
edge, code of ethics or regula-
tons. Each shop had rows of
neatly arranged shaving mugs
on the proper shelves, a handy
spittoon for men who chewed to-
bacco, a musical instrument or
racy reading matter for the en-
tertainment of waiting patrons.
? An especially modern" innova-
ton was a bath tub installed in
the rear of the store.
One of the first movements for
better conditions among BARRIERS
was started at Baltimore, Mary
land. in 1870 called the BARRIERS
Beneficial Association. In 1887
the Journeymen BARRIERS Inter
national Union. an organization
now of approximately 10000 bar
bers and beauticians. was formed.
The first school to provide bar

started in 1898, the Moler Sys-

largest independent barber school
teaching modern barbering.
The Associated Master BARRIERS
of America. working on a ma

cational Council in 1925 and a
research department in 1880 to
raise the practice of barbering
TO more of a science.
