Another prominent oil man g'ves it as his opinion that the nrodurtinn nt oil will be Increased to such an ex tent that the price will be forced down. He predicts that gasoline will cost less in 1921 thnn this year. Much Waste at Present. 1 There also seem to be possibilities of reducing the waste that prevails in me oil rielils. The fuel adminis tration. In a iicent re-ort, declaivl that the "to'al waste iii the oil and gas fields of the nation amounted to $2,000,000,000 In 1017." Oil men admit a mammoth wste of these national resources. With customary American energy and brains it seems entirely logical to presume that fuel worth so mucn will be conserved and utilized. A review of the situation seetin t- remove all occasion for alarm. It seems to be the consensus of opi tin that publfc-sr irited conservation .n . a small scale is necessary for u f. w ! weeks in the northwest. After that: there Is every icason to believe motor i 1st can use all the gasoline thev -on Ire without fear Jhat others will be pinched. j New Supply Found. j Having disposed of tlie slltmilo.i at Hie present and found that there will be gasoline enough to meet Mil iiecl for several years to come, If inuv be of Interest to consider how long the people can exnect to have ull the (..asoline they desire to use. I The total crude oil production l oate In Hie entire world standi at about 7.000,000,000 barrels. ' j Geologists estimate that mother 7.000.000.000 barrels exist In various places tinder the surface of the earth. Other fields may be found to raise this total to a considerable extent, of course. However much oil there may be found, the time must come, of course when liatnre's vast reservoirs will be drained dry. That may be 25 or 50 years from now. And, of course, the ingenuity of man wil surmount such a trifling difficulty asfhis, . ' While the future oil supply Is rstl , mated at 7.000.000.000 barrels, already : there Is much talk of extracting oil I from shale. If this proves successful ! there will be enough gasoline for ceu ; turies at the present rote of consump , tlon. i Victor C. Aldervon. president of the Colorado School of Mines and a scien tist of high standing'. In the iiuarterly publication of the school that he heads writes: "Recent years have been fille, with stirring and far-reaching events, not the least of which has been the birth of a new Industry, with a potential supply of raw materlul that almost defies mathematical computation and staggers the Imagination. Can pres ent oil fields produce enough petro leum to meet the enormous demand now existing for oil and Its products?, The nnswer Is doubtful. Will new oil fields be discovered to meet the In creased demand of The future? The answer is extremely doubtful Yet oil we must hove. Will Yield Heavy, j "Th supi ly must come from our ' great deposits of oil shale. If oil la Kli'g, i hen oil shale Is the heir appar ent. "The f"c that prohublr the world i !:iigci (1. -posit of o'l shale may be found In unusually large and rich de noslts In Colorado and eastern I'lah Iitih been known for insuv years.
