EFFORTS MADE TO SAVE OIL OF U. SJHAY WIN Leaders Awaken to Danger of Famine, Attempt to Find Solution. What can be done to conserve our domestic supply ol oil? Rodney Dutcher, Washington correspondent for the Times describes the best remedy in this article, which Is another of a series. By RODNEY DUTCHER NEA Service Writer (Copyright, 1928 NEA Service, Inc.) WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.—Now that we know the nation’s oil supply is limited, that it is being consumed at a constantly jumping rate, that it may be gone in a few years and that it is being almost criminally wasted under present methods of production, what are we going to do about it? This problem has for some time confronted the government, which, faced by the opposition of most oil men to Federal regulation of their industry, has approached it gingerly. This attitude seems to be changin. Perhaps the most important recommendation made by the Federal Oil Conservation Board to the industry in its 1926 report was for cooperative methods of new fields to prevent wasteful flush flow and overproduction.” Hint Was Disregarded Soon afterward, the Seminole pool in Oklahoma was opened and instead of applying an effective policy of conservation, the oil companies let production run amuck until the national output figures showed an overproduction of some 65 per cent! The big companies seemed powerless to control it. Back in the sixties, a Pennsylvania court decided that oil was a “wild animal” and nobody’s property until recovered and brought above ground. Each year had seen the animal grow bigger and wilder until it finally threatened to devour at least a large contingent of the owners. May Receive Aid In the last year some leaders in the oil industry have repented their previous attitudes and asked Federal aid. They may get it. Os course most oil men do not take kindly to the thought of congressional legislation and Federal supervision thus suggested, but a committee of nine is now studying the vast problem. What the result will be and how soon the industry may be under Federal supervision are matters of conjecture. Cooperation Succeeds Meanwhile, it is only fair to state that certain leaders in the industry have attempted to apply conservation methods. Examples of successful cooperative control have been cited in the cases of the Cabin Creek field of West Virginia and the Rainbow Bend field of Kansas. Cabin Creek, owned by a single company, was exploited with an eye to maximum recovery and minimum cost. Oil wells were economically spaced and gas pressure was conserved. Asa result, eight years after being opened, the Cabin Creek field was producing just as much oil as when it began. Appetite Figures in Divorce By Timc.it Special FT.

In a letter published in a recent issue of the New York Sun, the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association says this about colds: “This is the season for colds—yes ‘common’ colds. But like many other things that are called ‘common’ because they are so frequent, colds are no trifle—far from it. “Colds take more dollars and cents out of the workers pocket in one year than any other sickness. They are responsible for a greater loss of time from school and work than any other single cause. “Colds lead to very serious diseases * * * * . “Here are the big preventives: Plain, nourishing food; plenty of sleep; six glasses of water a day; frequent bathing (to train the skin to stand changes in temperature); sensible clothing; breathing through the nose; keeping the feet dry; plenty of fresh air by night as well as by day ” * * * * # \Y hen you feel a cold coming on, stop at a drug store and get a box of Hill’s Cascara-Bromide-Quinine, the tablets ,in the red box. Take a couple immediately and cold will break up in 24 hours. Hill’s ends a cold quickly because it does the four necessary things at one time: Stops the cold, checks th< fever, opens the bowels, tones the sys tern. Costs only 30 cents. —Advertisement.
