OUR R R B A ^ M T R O L ltT M IN D U STR Y The petrolemn industry, in which gasoline, kerosene and lubricating oils are leading factors, is one of th«; l a t e s t in the world, both in point of capital invested and as an essential of modern life, It is composed of four distinct but closely related branches —- production, trans­ portation, refining and marketing. Production which has to do with prospecting and drilling wells incolvc® a vast financial outlay, an appreciable part of which id tothl loss. When the crude petroleum is run into the field storage tanks the transportation element of tine industry comes into play. There are approximately 67,000 miles of trunk pipe lines In the Vgiited States, operating across the conn tiy from the tank farms to terminals on the Atlantic, Pa­ By.CHARLES P...

THE FIN A N C IA L PU LSE How’s the good old budget by this time! The fiist quarter is about over and it’s time to feel the family’s financity pulse. Going steady and^ even, is it! Current bills being promptly paid, thrift funds up to date, with their sense of hope and cheer for the future? And a’little margin for good times? And enjoying the good times twice as much ass of yore, because now they are justly earned, and are not cutting into any other fund? Or is the pulse rather fast and fluttery, full of ex­ cuses for the usual bad management, but without much definite promise for being any lietter this year than last? Or is it slow and depressed, heavy with burdens, lacking in lio|>e? • If it’s in the first state, congratulations are in order. And a caution not to be too elate, but to keep the head cool and steady and keep a'going. If it ’s in the s«jcoud, a stiffening of the baokbonc is in order. There is no excuse for an adult to lie.foolish about his finances. His own morals arid bis own happiness, as well as those of bis family and bis community and the world at large, are tied up in the matter of his self res|»ect- ing management of his money. If It’s the tl^rd — take heart of grace. Spring’s here! Cast off old shackles. Get a fresh start. Past labor is not unavailing, eyen if it seems so. After planting and culti­ vating there is often a weary wait before results show. But they do in time. If it’s your family’s extravagance that is grinding yon down, treat ’em rough.

The merest handful do nearly all tbe orating there Is done. It doesn't necessarily follow that a talkative senator or rep­ resentative has anything on a silent one. Part of the tklkers have some­ thing to ray. Part haven’t. ' The formers’ talk counts. The latter merely waste time. The popular idea is that more talking is done in the Senate than in the House of Representa­ tives. « This Is a mistake.
