Jnnuirv.H breath benumbs
Even when her skies are bright;
Freezing? from tne north it comes
Over hills and va.lies white,
January's brooks are mute,
Save, where in the snow.some
rill.
Tinkling like a broken lute,.
Makes a tiny music still
In the silence so profound,
As it hides, and glides along,
Mikes a faint and eerie sound
Like the ghost of summer's
song.
F.yr the was jat the quirt kin I rhit natures never rarr;
Ac Urtamt tht kee a summer mind mow bid in January .

Hitter cold on hands and face;
January's kiss is cold,
Yet behold how young and old
Revel in that coid embrace.
See, on every lake and pond,
Skimming skaters whirl and

Where from dizzy heights beyond
Shod withspeed' theskiers lash.
And though brooks no longer sin
To our ears a summer tune,
January's breath can bring
To our cheeks the rost of June.

By HARRY H. HILL
Chisf Pstroltum Englnstr, United Statst Burssu of Mlnss.
ONE rtason why thcro It no rea
son to worry greatly about
motor fuel for a long time
head Is that people are worrying
about It Interest In such a question
at the right time. It the best Insur
ance against disaster. The President
and the Federal OU Corporation
Hoard hare done what waa needed, at
toe right time.
We know that most petroleum has
come from rather limited areas and
that even from these only a small pro
portion has been taken out Oil pro
duced by gat premura capable of Wi
llis It to the surface when we drill
hobs la but a small proportion of ail
the oil contained in the sands. Even
from the best pools recovery by the
old method Is small, perhaps one
half In the moat favorable conditions,
oftener one-elxth, or onescrenth. or
one-tenth. But a considerable part of
hat still remains In the ground can
t recovered by methods cow estsb
l.nhed a technically and economically
practicable.
Producing oil from coal and shMrs
and by mining the oil bearing sands
Is entirely possible. Experiments re
going on In these directions, and It we
ever have to fall back on these re
sources we will be ready. For a long
tlm-f. however, the present method of
exploration and drilling, ith Improv
ing processes to assure larger recov
eries, are likely to suffice.
An Oil Dome Illustrated
I am no draughtsman, but msybe f
ran draw something that will help ex
plain. Mere' a rough drawing of an
oil dome. The shaded part at (he bot
tom Is deposit of oil bearing sands
with an Impervious rock atratum
above. A wlld-catler drilled the hole
A B and gas preasura caused oil and
gas to flow. After a while the gas
pressure wasn't sufficient to keep up
the flow and they pjr.iped nntll ulti
mately eves this ces"1 producing.
Nevertheless, mou uf the oil wss
still left atkklng 1 1 !':! aand grains.
Then the operator drilled the well
C-D, which flowed for a time, but most
of the oil was still ii.,v.n there In the
sand, if the gas prm.':ire could 4e re
stored more would .low. So the oper
ator Injects) ga Into one well, restor
ing the pressure a?.j causing the oil
to resume flow I nr. f-om the other.
After a time the llov will atop again,
but still much of tb 1 oil will be left.
In some Holds It ha t:' en potnlble to
obtain additional a .:u-nts of oil by
Introducing water hi ur.ie of the wells
and forcing ths oil 1 1 jtbert. The ad
dition of a chemical iu-h as soda uh
to the water may r. i!.t In removing
the oil from the sit. I grains, but nei
ther plain' water nor water containing
chemicals should be Introduced Into
an oil aand except a a last resort,
for It Is likely that water, which
travels faster through the aand, will
get to the open we! ahead of the oil
and when the flow h resumed under
pressure water will c.:me out.
Everything Savr i Nowadays .
The gu escaping from an oil well
cgrrlet with It a p ' iportlon of gaso
line, which In the M days was lost.
Nowadays It Is extracted from the gas
and aavsd, while the dry gas can be
forced back Into th? g. ;und to main
tain pressure. ,
Ona of the tnenscvi to most oil
pools li the Inflow r f subterranean
water. Water flown tV.roitgh the oil
sands faater than oil. r.n.I by surround
ing U ottom of II. nail keeps the
oil out. How to shut off the water
and permit the oil to run out la a prob
lem with which the engineers have
long worked. They have made great
progress aud so Increased reroverlea.
In earlier times most oil producer
carefully guarded all Information
iibout their wells and expertencea, but
latterly there Is co-operation la the
matters. Geologists and petroleum
rnglneera, once derided by the " prac
tical" oil men, are more and more
accepted as guides and mentor. New
knowledge I constantly Increasing re
coveries. As to Mining for Oil
In Lorraine they have dug shafts
down to the oil aand and actually
brought the sands out, Ilk coal from
mine. But It's coa'.iy.
Another mining process la to lnk a
shaft to the oil sands and from Its
bottom drive tunnek In all directions
through the sand. From the tun
nels small perforated pipes are driven
Into the sands, which drain the oil
out of the sands. It flow to larger
pipes back at the foot of the ahatt and
thence Is pumped out. This requires
Installing an expensive plant, but In
me field the high recovery that Is
insured might Justify the cost. I
understand the process ' about to be
Initialled In a few fluids In thla coun
try, aome companies being convinced
it Is practicable and profllable.
Oil can be distilled from coal, and
much work la now being done
s'ong thia line. But more appeal has
bien made by the plan of extracting
ell from shale. The shales of Scotland
1. ive been worked for three-quarters
( a century, and they are almost, un
I'.nlted In this country, richer In oil
than those of Scotland. Kentucky,
Ohio, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Wyo
nlng and California are particularly
r!ch in shales. It is just a question
cf the cost of extracting th oil. Con
fess baa given 1180.000, with which
t!ie Bureau hoa Installed a plant near
Itullson, Colorado, to distill oil from
the Colorado River Shale. It Is
calculated that the abates mined at
Rullsnn will produce about a barrel
of oil to the ton.
Th Us of Oil Shales
In Scotland they are working shales
that produce ulMUt twnnty-flve gallon
of oil par ton. Thu seams are from
three-and-a-half lo elxht or Inn feot
thick. In Colorado are seam ninny
times as thick and containing much
more oil per ton. Reduction of shales
Involves v an enormous mining opera
tion, and after the oil Is extracted the
vast tonnage of refuse nnmt be dis
posed of. So II Is expenulv compared
with producing oil from wells.
Ben E. Llmlncy of the Bureau of
Mines Experiment Station at Parties
vllle, Okla., Is confident that explore
tion, better recoveries, better utlllts
lion and deeper drilling would furnish
enough oil to meet all requirements
for at least twenty-five lo fifty yoars,
It It could be extracted in that time.
Rut as a practical matter thla will not
bs possible. Within t hut period there
will bo tlmco of thcHire, when oil
from shale will he needi d to supple
ment the oil from wells, etc.
Meantime federal and atate govern
ment and the Industry are co-opuraU
Ing In au astonlsiilug range of I lives
tlgstlon and studies. These activities
cover such a w!do fluid that even an
enumeration of lliem would run Into
