Washington’s Early Adventures Now Assuming New Significance

By HENRY BOTSFORD SFTER well nigh a century and three-quarters a new Interest has recently been aroused m the earliest military turea of George Washington, When barely twenty-one years old. in 1753, Washington was sent by Governor Dinwiddle of Virginia Into the far northwestern wilderness—that is, northwestern Pennsylvania—to warn f LhV French that they must cease their efforts to occupy that region Recent researches have given a new historical/ significance to that expedition, during which Washington, always reckless of his personal safety, had one of his narrow escapes from death at the hands of a tteacheroua Indian guide. The French at that time occupied Canada and claimed the Mississippi and Ohio Valleys. Though the fringe of English speaking colonies along the Atlantic contained the chief European population. France maintained sovereignty over most of North America's area. They were apparently determined to occupy > northwestern Pennsylvania, partly because it was known even then to be rich In petroleum. Region's Wealth Known Pioneers and missionaries. English, French. German and Dutch, had all reported to their governments that the petroleum was of great potential value. There la. however, no reason to believe that Washington knew of Its existence or value until his adventure of 1753. Then he learni ed that the oil had long been used by the Indiaus and the pioneering whites for fuel and light, for medicine and tn making war paint Washington was so much Impressed with Ito possibilities that he later became owner of a large area of oil-bearing lands. Although the petroleum industry in its modern form was then undreamed 01. Washington was so sure that a tor tune resided tn his oil-bearing lands that in his will he listed them u ma; most valuable holdings. Id the‘property schedule attached to the will he wrote: “This tract was taken up by General Lewis and myself on account of Che bituminous spring which it contains. of so inflammable a nature as •to burn as freely as spirits and as nearly difficult to extinguish.** ThW Will of Washington f Some historians declare that in an pearlier will Washington dedicated this '“burning spring** to the public. At •any rate, ft had passed from his ownership before his death. He sold this ,traet for 1200,000, but. suspecting it .might revert to his estate under a mortgage, he warned his heirs that should It do so it would be worth much more than the 3200.000. •' Although Washington’s first know!edge of petroleum was gained within a few miles of the place where the first oil well In the world was drilled, that first well was not opened until ene hundred and six years later. 1359. In that year Edwin Laurentine Drake bored the first well, just south of Titusville, Pennsylvania, and really started the modern petroleum industry. A Development Wonder Today the American industry is the major part of the world's OH business. Americans are directing oil developments all over the world, ft is all part of the huge problem: to make sure that the tbmorrows shall see America’s' requirements met. Every decade the production of petroleum has doubled. Science and technical progress have met all demands. Foreign investment and development are In the nature of Insurance for the future.

of machinery waa only beginning, I with its insatiate demand tor lubrtt cants, while kerosene, though the best [ illuminant ever known, was dangerous because poor refining left gasoline that was liable to explode. It is difficult nowadays, when the world is bo--1 ing combed for more petroleum to make more gasoline, to realize that ’ gasoline was once a nuisance and a * menace. The internal combustion en--1 gine created the demand for gasoline, now the primary product of petro- ' leum. The demands of millions of motor csrs increasing constantly, inven- ; tion and chemistry were set at work I by the cAptains of the industry to i make the barrel of petroleum turn out 1 a larger and larger proportion of gas- ‘ oliue. 'This was done by the cracking . process, through which every year now ' sees a larger proportion of crude oil ‘ turned into gasoline. High and Growing Demands Today well-nigh 2,500,000 barrels of I petroleum are required every day to . satisfy the demand for motor cars. . tractors, trucks, b vS aitlllcic.l gas i plants and the by prodi uctk. Invention Is constr.ntly finding ~ new uses, as enterprise just as con, stantly finds new supplied of petroleum. The wonderful and rather mysterious fluid has revolutionized social I habits and industrial methods; yet it ■ > 18 only two-thlrds of a century since ' the industry had ito feeble beginning , in the Pennsylvania oil country. This year the country will use about 750.000.000 barrels of petroleum. The country will use 700,000.000 gallons of gasoline and will export 1.900,000 ! more. The production, processing and marketing of petroleum is probably i second only to agriculture among . American Industries. Roundly, 70 per cent of the world’s petroleum Industry is American. Ten billions of capital Is invested in K—half the valuation of the national railroad system. It employs just, about 1.000.000 people. The petroleum pipe | line system, gridironing a good share of the country, aggregates about 85,000 miles. Petroleum revolutionised naval warfare by bringing ID--the oil burning ship; it Is fast revolutionizing merchant marines in the same fashion. Multiplication of motor cars, along with the special taxation of their gasoline, has made possible the modern highway system. A True Social Service Perhaps the most nearly revolutionary result of Drake's modernization of the petroleum industry is to be found in the change it has brought in the life of rural America. It has carried the city to the country, the country to the city. It has, by making posaible the cheap and quick transportation that everybody nowadays enjoys. enabled country and city to know and understand each other as they never did before, ft has brought social and educational privileges to country dwellers that a few decades ago seemed absolutely denied to them. On the one hand it has enabled the cities to spread out into suburban areas and the sone of country estates; on the other, it has enabled the people of the open country to have neighbors, society, church and school privileges, intimate acquaintance. It. is a historic fact that the tendency toward division of Interest and understanding between city and country is the most serious Internal menace to the security of nations, to the integrity of society. • More than anything else, country and city need to know and understand each other and each other’s problems. The ' easy transportation, the ready opportunity for association and acquaintance that have come with the Age of Petroleum have made possible, In this favored country at least, exactly this new intimacy and understanding /

Schools Pushing Music to Fore

America Destined to Lead World, Says Frederick Neil Innes. That the public school band movement Is bringing America to the fore in the music world, is the belief of Frederick Neil Innes, director of the Conn National School of Music, Chicago, and Internationally known band leader. “America is destined to lead the world in music," says Innes. “It does not yet rank with Germany, France, Hungary, Italy or England, but we are climbing. Fully eighty per cent of the high schools have some musical organization, an orchestra or a band, or both. Music in the public sehooli

will give America this coveted musical aupremacy." Mr. Innes further believes that the time is near at hand when even the smallest community will have its band. He thinks that when this condition is brought about that it will be due largely to the incentive given musical training by the public schools of the nation. •"The modern school is as proud when a musical championship is won by their band or orchestra as it is when their football heavies go down the field to glory in every game they play,” he says. “The band or orchestra is vastly superior to the vocal class,” says Innes, “because the boy in the adolescent stage simply will not sing. He may be coL.l«Eed to go through the motions, but he will not actually sing. He refuses for the simple reason that he has no voice to sing with. Give such a lad a trombone or a cornet, dr any other instrument of the band and his musical progress will astound even himself.” This Town of 20 Has 44-Piece Band A 20-man town with a 44-piece band has been discovered by the Conn Music Cuter at Elkhart, Ind. Forest Grove, Mich., is the town. The -entire population of 20 is housed in five dwellings. Small boys throw stones from one end of the town to the other. Two stores serve the needs of the community. Yet Forest Grove’s band numbers 44 pieces. The hamlet lacked paved streets and population. It was not even mentioned on the maps, yet the “musical urge” was there. Several of the townsmen knew something of music, as did several of the boys on the surrouhding farms. There were lots of others ’raring to blow a horn. A meeting was arranged, attended by a 100 per cent representation of the town and by farm boys within a radius of many miles. The band came into being overnight. Rehearsals are faithfully attended. “Band night” sees the one street lined with parked automobiles, and Forest Grove, once a jest, has become the envy of the surrounding communities. Housewives Big Buyers of Musical Instruments Elkhart, Ind.—Sixty per cent of musical instruments sold to women are purchased by housewives, it is revealed in a survey made by the Conn Music Center here. The survey was made through music instrument dealers in twenty cities, and covered 320 actual transactions. One out of every ten instruments sold were purchased by women, and their preferences for Instruments was very much along the lines favored by the men, according to the survey. Os the total number of transactions, fiftytwo per cent involved the purchase of a saxophone, sixteen per cent that of a trumpet, and nine per cent that of a trombone. That youth will be served, especially In music, was well illustrated in the ages of the purchasers. Fully thirtyfour per cent of those purchasing instruments were under twenty-one years of age, while nineteen per cent were between the ages of twenty-one and twenty-five, and twenty-one per cent between the ages of twenty-five and thirty. Only twenty-six per cent of all transactions involved persons*of : thirty years and over. , ; , •' « The people of Europe have had their Christmas. Uncle Sam played Santa Claus by filling their stocking -with seven thousand Tnillions of cancelled debts, and then loaning them ten thousand millions more. And still they think Uncle Sanfe is a “piker.” Selfishness is largely a matter of breeding. I

STATIC TAN SET YOUR CAR AFIRE-AND MORSE BY ERWIN GREER (President Greer College of Automotive Engineering. Chicago, III.) Static was. in evidence long before the birth otf the radio. And wherever the ref is friction—there is static. Brushing the cat on a cold night sparks proves that, as uoes your hair when your run comb through it. Atiw because of static all gasoline trucks trail a chain. And because of gasoline static sparks cause fearful fires anil explosions. Gasoline rushing through a hose at a gascline filling station generates static, which passes through the metal nozzle in:o the metal parts of the automobile, where if is stored «uo because the rubber tires insulate the automobile from the ground. Touching the c??r with hpy conductor of electricity will cause the static to be discharged. The hand of the attendant a* the filling station or the hose nozzle as it is withdrawn from the gas tank may supply such a conductor. Many fires and explosions have occurred under these conditions. Former accidents of this kind were attributed to the backfire from ‘he motors, but those who have studied it are certain that the cause was static. Static generated by the rubbing of silk garmehts in the cleaning establishments has been known to cause damaging fir, s. Gasoline dealers draw off static charges from their trucks by supplying them wjith metal -chains whicl) trail on the ground and convey any static generated to the earth. Static is described as lightning >n-ftTiniature, and like lightning, hurls its sparks at unexpected times and places. For that specific reason can be offered as a safeguard 'against its danger. Yet the average car owner will do well to observe a few general precautions: Don’t allow uncovered gasoline to stand where sparks—from static or other causes! —may ignite the fumes. Guard against the spilling of gasoline in your home or garage. Its fumes are heavier than air and are not carried off by the ordinary circulation of the atmosphere. Carefully ventilate any inclosed places where > gasoline fumes have been allowed to escape. o —— RIBBONS —We sell ribbons for L C. Smith, Underwood and Oliver Typewriters. Journal office.
