oned to overwhelm a person. much
as the activity in New York, be-
fore the days of gas rationing.
| Mallory remembered how sur
p1ised she had been when she ap-
peared in concert in Dallas. The
number of spectators had flabber-
gasted her. People dressed in
everything from rich furs to cow
10y boots. She peered out the win

now there were uniforms. spotted
everywhere.

Mallory stepped from the car to

the hotel lobby and managed, by
weaving and pushing, to get

But she stayed three days and

unencouraging telephone calls from
the bus station, she gathered up
her two bags and left the hotel.
In the bus terminal she learned
the authenticity of reports. Every

CHAPTER SIX

When Mallory discovered h G
had lost Richard Blythe's card and
address she felt an alarm that
baffled and enraged her. Why was
she so upset when she had intend
ed to discard 1t? Why was her
heart doing an ldiotic boom-boom?
| You make me sick,' she said tc
herself, because there was no one
else to fuss at.
Let your accompanist carry
your music, Mallory, for the love
of heaven!" That was an oft-re-
peated admonition of Tod Patricks S.
And give Prism your purse and
your handkerchief and your throat
atomizer.
Orders that always tickled
Prism. Isn't Miss Mallory funny,
MIR. Tod? Always losin'. Always
droppin'. Why, She lose her head
if it wasn't tied on her
Usually Tod Patrick did not an
swer that remark; Prism made it
as often as he made all his own re-
marks. But once just once, he had
answered it. He stopped and look
ed at the colored woman.
You're right, Prism, but isn't
he1 head tied on with beautiful
tie?" He swerved to the singer
then. Seriously, Mallory, you're
about the only woman l know who
can wear pears without making
her neck look d.lty.''
That memory, akin to all memo
ries OF Tod Pa.rick's strange and
unsatisfying compliments, made
Mallory say, Avn" so loudly and
with such disgust that the ticket
salesman in the Dallas irpor t
gave her a startled look.
I'm sorry l can't give you fast
err and better service"
The girl could feel her face sting
lng with warmth. I wasn't saying
'Aw' to you," she hurried to ex-
plain.
The man gave ner a second star
tied look, as if to inquire just to
whom she had Leen saying it; but
instantly he was his poised self,
busy with telephone and time ia
oles.
I'm not plugging our company,
Miss Baker, but really, you'd have
been much better taken care of if
you'd flown on to the City," He
smiled. Even though you've been
delayed, I'm sure you'd have had
an uninterrupted flight on down.
AS it is, you may even have to
take bus to Laredo"
| That doesn't matter too much, -
SIZE said generously. Can you gel
my reservation for me?"
Miss Baker, the man sa d
carefully, you don't make reser.
vations for a bus. You just get
there early and pray, especially
now with all the Army traffic" He
was talking over the telephone at
the same time. When he hung up.
he advised, IF l were you, I'd
stick around Dallas for a couple
CT days. The bus station reports

your mind and decide to fly. II

Oil Industry Loses
And Wins Market in
Rubber Shortage
New Synthetic Plants
Will Require Large
Petroleum Supplies
BY Cambridge Associates.

The oil industry Is in the peculiar
position of finding it's product ra-
toned not through any shortages in
its own production, but because of
the necessity of restricting the use
OF another natural product whose
chief sources of supply are closed
to us.
1t is a further paradox that the
shortage of natural rubber will
eventually mean the use of millions
of barrels Of petroleum annually in
the manufacture of the synthetic
product.
Other Problems Faced.
The petroleum industry faced
other war problems of most varied
nature last year. The depredations
OF U-boats in the Atlantic and
Caribbean made the use of tankers
to supply the East coast unfeasible
Rail shipments and the development
OF pipelines carried part of essen
tial supplies, but lack of trans
portation seriously curtailed sales in
one of the biggest market areas.
National rationing, instituted the
first of December to save rubber,
further threatened the tremen-
dously effective distribution system
built up over many years.
Markets were not and will not be
lacking for the industry's near
record production of petroleum.
however. With the occupation of
the East Indies by the Japanese,
the United Nations lost 10000 bar
rels OF oil day which might have
fueled military and naval operations
In the Far East. The campaign in
this area as we'll as air, land and
sea operations in Europe and North
Africa must be supplied in large
part by oil and gasoline from this
country, further complicating the
tanker transportation problem.
New Reserves Needed.
One of the biggest concerns of
the industry in 1943 is the develop
ment of new wells. New discoveries
fell off sharply last year because
OF restrictions on drilling equip
ment. only 1880 wells were brought
In where $4,000 were developed the
year before. All authorities are now
agreed that the oil supply is such
a vital factor in achieving victory
that the problem Of developing re-
serves cannot be safely neglected
longer.
Not very many months ago the
production Of 100-octane aviation
gasoline was only on an expert
mental basis. Now more than 100, 900
barrels are being refined daily and
a daily production of $50 1000 barrels
Is expected in a few months. This
product may very well be deciding

to achieve command of the air on

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-Frederick

CT the most serious problems OF

IN the way Of production.
Citing heavy Federal taxes, Craw-
ford, in review of the year Just

THE real danger to industry lies
IN the possibility that industry gen.
orally will lack sufficient reserves at
the end of the war to convert to

The NAM official, also president
OF Thompson Products, Inc, OF
Cleveland, which is busy with war
orders. said the Nation lis standing
on the threshold Of its greatest
productive era in history"
He warned that civilians would
have to get along with less.
More and more of our productive
effort is being concentrated on ships,
planes, guns and tanks" Crawford
explained.
Since Pearl Harbor, American
war production has been almost
quadrupled."
