Hose Should Read ~

Of absorbing interest to ayman and Gilman is book
let Important Facts About Texas OIL issued by the Texas
Mid Continent Oil & Gas Association, 907 Continental
Building, Dallas Cd Texas
Texas is the nations leading oil producing state. So
many wells have been drilled in the state and much
production found that the law of averages has had chance
to really work out
And since Texas includes within its borders the
worlds greatest oil field East Texas would it not be fair
that the who drill oil wells in that state
taking dry holes and producers ogether have made
nous profits?
Well, it might seem so, but it isn't So
Says the booklet:
"One study made by the Texas Mid-Contnent Oil
Gas Association showed that for every dollars worth of
crude oil sold in Texas since the first commercial produc
ton found in 1885, the Texas oil industry spent 81 IL
On this basis assuming average value of dollar per
barrel for crude OIL the amount of money spent to date has
exceeded receipts by more than one billion dollars
That the score in the nations greatest and richest
oil state
This publication that might profitably be read by
those who demanding that oil and oil be produced
yet who stubbornly refusing permit oil price in

to produce oil vitality needed for the nations
effort higher oil price needed now insure the oil
that will be needed to win the dual under way.

 The work had been long and painstaking rehearsed and 1t turn cd and 1t turned out to be most gratifying presentation. George Szell who conducted brilliantly, was giv- en an ovation efore the third-act curtain. and the audience even broke tradition by trying to inter rupt the show with salvo of ap- plause for Gerhard Pechner in the Part of Bcckmesser. Szell put that down with firm baton.
 Herbert JansSen replaced Fried rich Schoor as Hans Sachs. part which had long been intimately as- sociated with Schorr before his re- tirement from the Metropolitan, and was cordially received. Eleanor Steber made a charming Eva and the Wather was Charles Kullman.

Toomey revealed dramatic power
rs the foreign princess, although
her voice has considerable vibrato.
Tracy Sylvester, William Ten
nant, the trio OF nymphs; all
helped TO make this a musical
treat, especially under the expert
direction OF Herman Adler, who
conducted "Rusalka" abroad and
knows every note of its melodious

Both the Rychtarik sets were
