Oil Discoveries Drop Behind growing concern over possible exhaustion of oil reserves is the steady decrease in the rate of new oil discoveries since 1936. Last year, and in each of five years preceding, the United States produced roundly 1,400 million barrels (42 gallons each) of a total world production of about 2,100 million barrels. So far, revised estimates of reserves in known fields plus new oil discoveries have each year exceedi ed the national production, and have | raised known reserves to a 1943 level of 20,000 million barrels. New dis- ! coveries alone, however, have 1 dropped from a 2,000-million-barrel annual total of a decade ago to 800 million barrels in 1938, and to 260 million barrels in 1942—less than the ! annual civilian consumption at the ( current limited rate. Size of the average new discovery dropped from 20 million barrels in 1934, to 11 million barrels in 1938, and to 1.2 in 1942.

Tanks Built Like Turtle 1 This country’s latest armored vehicles are based on exhaustive studies of the turtle. This lowly reptile, provided by nature with protective armor, is said to have taught ordnance engineers the essential lessons of “firestreaming.” Firestreaming is destined to enable army tanks, tank destroyers and motorized artillery to shed enemy projectiles as easily as the homy shell of the turtle sheds a horse’s hoof. Earlier tanks presented their upright armored surfaces to direct impact. Now the silhouettes are. lower and the armor slopes in such a way that hard-hitting armor-piercing projectiles tend to bounce from the tank’s sides like hail from a sloping ' roof. The lowly turtle is now wearing an army ordnance service ribbon.

Gaines With String The string figure game known as “cat’s cradle” is widely played among African children. Complicated figures are constructed and competitions are held in which children challenge one another. Speed and accuracy decide the winner. Such string games are played by native tribes of Australia, and seem to be almost world-wide. TRY CLASSIFIED ADS
