RUSSIAN OIL-DEAL

NHDEMES

ENGUSHOFFICIAL Eussia Cannot Supply Oil to World, Asserts Urquhart. INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERV1CE1 LONDON", June. "The world has been hoaxed over the supposed Russian oil deal,'' says Leslie Urquhart, oil adviser to Lloyd George at Oenoa former British counnul eneral at Moscow and Chairman, of the Britijh Oil Fields Consolidated Company. "Half my life." t'rquhart pops on, "hajs been spent in the oil industry In Russia, so I am in the position of knowing- as mwh about Russian oil as most people. The world wants oil, but if it looks to Russia for it, now or in fhe Immediate future, it will look in vain. Russian cannot supply It. "The talk about Hutsla srlvinp; us alJ the oil we .want is a myth. "Before oil can pour out of Russia rivers of gold will have to pour in. "The bigest oil field in Russia is in Baku. From 1904 to 1918 the Baku wells produced oil at the rate of about 7.000.000 tons a year. "No more draimatic change has ever been witnessed than the change which occurred in the Baku oilfield with the coming: of the soviet Tesime. The production dropped from 7,000,000,000 tons a year to 3,000,000 tons, and it has remained at 3.000.000 ever since. "In 1917 there were 3,700 oi.l wells prod-ucinar oil In Baku; today there are not S00 wells produ'ciner oil. "To maintain the former production Russia had to drill 750,000 feet of new wells every year. The Russians are now .drilling in a year w.hat they previously drilled in twelve days. "These facts prove that Russia Is not in a position to export oil. Before she can attain to her former output she will have to drill for five years to make up the leeway that has been lost. The drilling: alone will cost $100,000,000. "When, after years of work and the expenditure of millions' of money, she manages to equal her pre-war production, the improvesnt In her own transport and in"NiJstries will absorb every drop of il she can produce.

ten years he waited for some one to ask him for this information. Time and again he had the opportunity of volunteering the information, but he withheld it. He wished some one to ask him, so that he could very casually reply. And then one day his liic chance came. "Can any one tell me the family name of the king of England?" some one asked. "I can," proudly answered the man with the knowledge. "It is Guelph." "How did you happen to know that?" he was asked. "Just ask me anything, old top, Just ask me anything. I'm obligin'.

McCormick, noted Chicago millionaire, is reported to be recovering today from an operation secretly performed last Monday at the Wesley Memorial hospital. Reports from the hospital today said he had passed a restful night and probably would be able to leave the hospif.il in a few days. Because of the stringent precautions toward secrecy taken by McCormick and his family, the fact that he was in the hospital did not become known until today. Even ' after his presence there was known, hospital officials continued to deny that McCormick was a patient of their institution. The nature of the operation performed upon McCormick has not been learned, but it is understood to have been of a very delicate char-( acter. The operation was perform-1 ed, according to apparently authentic information, by Dr. Victor ). Lespinasse. who has achieved considerable renown for his work in crafting glands of lower animals

ILL KNOWN MILLIONAIRE UNDER KNIFE

A great opportunity is now before American business the opportunity of making a big and permanent asset out of the very difficulties of the present situation. The conviction that this can be done is extremely heartening. It is enough to put a new thrill of life and activity into every form of industry. From one point of view the present situation is by far the most desirable, the soundest, the sanest, and the most hopeful this country has ever seen. Why? Because it brings into bold relief, through sheer necessity, the Iaten power to create conditions as we would like to have them. The curtailment of Demand for the products of industry brought us face to face with the question, hitherto ignored, as to what causes demand. Then it was discovered that Demand was a created thing, and that more of it could be created in almost any diretion if enough of the right effort were applied.

upon human beings. Dr. LespTnasse disputed the claims of Dr. Serge Voronoff, the French surgeon, to the discovery of the process of transplanting monkey glands into the human body. McCormick is housed In a private suite at the hospital, has his private nurses and physicians, and no one is allowed in the section of the hospital where he is a patient. Publicity attending McCormlek's recent divorce from his wife. Mrs. Edith Rockefeller McCormick, ihe romance of his daughter. Mathilde. with Max Oser. a Swiss riding master, and other affairs of the family are said to have become so distasteful to McCormick that he decided upon secrecy in connection with his operation.

FEDERAL ROAD AIO INTERNATIONAL NEWS SFRVICE1 . WASHINGTON", June. Millions of dollars were saved to an Arkansas community in which a Federal-aid road 'has been completed Just before the Mississippi river overflowed its banks and the flood began Its course of devastation, according to the .department of agri'OTjture. Durin.g high water in the Mississippe w-ord came to Helena, Arkansas that the levee at Old Town, seventeen miles away, was about to break.

Eivery available motor vehicle was pressed In service and more than 600 men, properly equipped for the work, were speeding in a short time over the new road to save the levee.

Chief among the means of creating Demand is now seen to be Advertising. Wherever you find e big demand for any product you find, invariably, that the demand for that product has been stimulated by human effort, and chiefly through advertising. It is obvious to any one who will think it through that the present demand for any product could be substantially lessened if it were possible to eliminate all forms of advertising including pictures, displays, and word of mouth, as well as printed and painted messages and just let that product depend on the natural or unstimulated demand. And it is equally obvious that a demand for any worthy product can be created and stimulated by means of Advertising. This fact puts within the hands of the business man the means of creating his own market. That would be the biggest asset - he could have an assured market for all he could produce.

"They arriived in the nick of time," said the department, "and by almost superhuman efforts dammed back the rising waters. Had it been necessary to make the trip over the old road the levee could not have been reached in time and the workers wou'ld have needed boats rather than motor 'vehicles."
