CHANGE IN .MAIL ROUTE
THE possibility of tho Australian
mall being seht by way of San
Francisco is suggested in a
timely editorial published In tho
Tlmberman of Portland. Since the
appearance of this editorial there
was printed a press telegram stating
that England might close tho canal
which would have still moro bearing
on tho matter. The Tlmberman
says:
" If tho United States is nllvo to
tho situation thcro Is a strong pro
bability that tho routo of tho Aus
tralian mail to England might be
changed from Suez to San Francisco
New York route. At It stands today
tho tlmo for tho delivery of mall
from Sydney to London, ivia Suez, Is
twenty-five days. This is exactly

GASOLINE is becoming a worry
to usora throughout tho west,
nnd right hero on Coos Bay,
so cioso to uaiuornia, wnoro tlioro bringing Australia and tlio
in u" uuuriiiuuB milium production
of tho constituents of gasollno thcro
is wondor at tho advancing prlco.
Tho flnanclnl writer of a San Fran
cisco newspaper has flgurca out
Bomo interesting facts in connection
with tho gasollno business. Ho
says:
"Tho demand occasioned by
tho war ami tho closing of tho
Russian nnd Rumanian fields
to export aro not tho only
causes of soaring rates. Local
exports point out that tho ox
panslon of tho nutomohllo in
dustry, tho increasing uso of
gasollno engines nnd tractors
by farmors nnd tho growth in
tho numbor of motorboats aro
nil Important factors in tho
, tIso' in pried.
"In 1800 tho quantity of
gasollno used in this country
for nil purposes wnB 15,015,000
. barrels. By 1004 tho amount
had only lncrcasod to fi, 815,000
barrels. But by 1000, flvo
years lator, tho consumption had
increased to 10,800,000 bar
rols. That is, tho incrcaso dur
ing tho flvo years hoforo 1001
wriB only 200,000 barrels, but
in tho flvo years after 1001 it
vaB 0,000,000 barrels. Tim
hugo incroaso kept paco with
tho IncreoBod uso of automo
biles. "In 1004, nnothcr flvo year
period, tho consumption hnd In
creased to 18,000',000 barrels,
or nn Incroaso of 7,200,000 bar
rels. And now exports in the
Industry bollove that .10,000,
000 barrels of gasollno will ho
consumed next year.
"Tho total production of
crudo potroloum in this country
falls Just short of 300,000,000
b'nrrols. About n third of this
produces very llttlo gasollno.
Tho unprecedented demand for
crudo potroloum has causod Its
prlco to soar."
Whatever may or may not bo tho
Teal caiiBO, nutomohllo drivers aro
beginning to bollovo that if tho
war keops up much longer, gasollno
may easily go to 2G or 30 cents por
gallon.
HEN you wake up this morning and you start
another day, here's a suggestion for you,
that will brighten up your way: Just make
somebody happy and send a smile his way,
Just make this resolution, and make it so's to stay,
You'll find, if you are young, that your youth will lin
ger on; you'll find, if you are aged, that the wrinkles will
be gone, if you'll make somebody happy ere the present
clay is done,
If a brother's over-burdened, make his pack a lighter
one, ' '
Manifest a pride in smiling; you will find it worth your
while, You can make a man see sunlight if you coax
him with a smile; laughing eyes and smiling lips will any
Unkind Fate beguile,
You can save the starving struggler if you feed him on
a smile,
Just suppor?5)i for illustration, that you lived for '40
years and on every day you brightened some one's life
with words of cheer, just a single person gladdened ev
ery day that's In the year,
With 14,000 lives made brighter, need you meet The
End in fear?
