Thereafter oil men have followed it Into the depths of the earth. It has made a dif ference to the whales and to mankind. "Drake's Folly" was 69'i feet deep. Today there Is an oil well In California 14,600 feet down nearly three miles. www In the same far latitudes where they once hunted the whale, men now seek oil ashore within the Arctic circle, in the torrid jungles of South America, in the deserts of the Near East. www These latter day pioneers are to make certain there will be no shortage of petroleum should the known fields run dry. Theirs Is public duty which costs millions and pays few immediate dividends except Id hardships.
