MONTH IMPORTS OF ME.XK AN OIL DOUBLE 111 KI XL ONE YEAR “CONDITIONS IX I»!» APPEAR TO HAVE GREATLY IMPROVE»**— SAYS FEDERAL TILADE COMMISSION Gasoline supplies are increasing. The latest Bureau of .Mines report shows that reserve stocks on hand at the refineries in March totaled over 626,000,000 gallons, and serves to offset some of the startling state ments that have been made regarding the gasoline supply. “PSYCHOIXMIICAL,” SAYS FED- ERAL TRADE COMMISSION In fact, this gasoline scare has been largely psychological, in the opinion of the Federal Trade Com mission. The failure in certain north Texas fields upset some of the old men and made an immediata shortage seem possible. 1920 has begun fortunately, how ever, and there are a good many fac tors which point to Increased pro duction. “CRACKING” PROCESSES INCREASE SUPPLY WILL Refiners can get twice the amount of gasoline from oil by using new “cracking" processes. The big mid west companies using the modern methods ar« getting a .35% yield from crude; but refineries elsewhere are getting only 12 to 22%. The cost of installing the new processes will make th« change slow, but If any ab solute shortage should confront the market oil men say this means can be taken to meet ft. This would mean an increase of 60 per cent in our present supply. ME.XItO AX OIL EMPIRE Mexico is another source of future supply which has been almost doubl- ing its shipments to the American market every year In 1919 the Mex- ican market shipped 52,662,000 bar rels of crude oil to the United States, most of it to the Atlantic Coast. MIALE OIL FIELDS AFFORD IN FINITE RESERVE David White of the United States Geological Survey sees infinte possi bilities 1n oil obtained from shale, al though this supply will not be tapped in great quantities until more ! chinery has been developed. Mr. White says: "The oil shale de posits of the United States are a' pos- sible source of oil in amount» far greater than all the available natural petrolem of this hemisphere. They form an enduring asset, sufficient to sustain an enormous ultimate load for an Indefinite period “SAVE GAS” STILL HOLDS Motorists should continue to save gasoline, since the use of «even and a half million cars in the country means that the action of the separ ate units may have a great influence on the total consumption. Motor ve hicles are the heaviest users of gaso line, automobile consumption In 1919 being .1.167,654.400 gallons out of 'he total consumption of 3.808.390.- 619. It is estimated that a passenger car uses 300 gallons of gasoline year ly and a motor truck 1500 gallons. Other users of gasoline are airplanes, motor boats, railway motor cars, farm tractors, stationary and norl able engines, paint and varnish man- ufacture, cleaning Industry, gasoline stove« and rubber manufacture.
