PETROLEUM INDUSTRY DUE FOR PROSPERITY
Prof. R. S. Knappen Speaks Well of Oil Prospects In America
WILL REACH CLIMAX SOON
Oil Consumption of U. S. Greater Than Amount Now Being Produced
Prof. R. S. Krappen, who spent the summer in the service of the United States Geological Survey, in speaking of the future of the oil industry says that the petroleum producing business of this country has a number of years of unusual prosperity ahead of it. This will be brought about by the elimination of Mexican competition among the companies is less than American consumption, exclusive of exports, according to Professor Krappen.
The apparent over-production is the oil industry which has recently caused cutting of prices for crude oil is due to the large combined production of the two countries and to the fact that, because of the depreciated currency and shortage of manufactured goods, Europe has been unable to meet more than a small part of the oil products which it normally consumes.
The production of oil in this country will probably reach its climax either this year or next, Professor Knappen pointed out. At present there is an apparent over-production of petroleum. That is to say that the amount going into storage has been increasing weekly for the last two years. But it also accounts for a few weeks during each of the past two winters, at no time has America produced as much oil as it has been consuming. This apparent contradiction in statements is due to the tremendous quantities coming from Mexico. Last year 35 per cent of our own consumption was produced by that country, the greater amount of the oil being transported to the United States.
All the known fields in Mexico are declining rapidly in their production. This decline is so rapid that it appears probable that in the second half of this year Mexico will not produce one-third as much as during the first quarter, and that its exports covered in Mexico, it will be of very little importance next year.
Russia has such resources that it shall be an important contributor of the world's supply. But production has declined under the Soviet regime to be at its pre-war normal. Persia and South America in the future will probably be important producers. But it appears probable that for the next five years at least the United States must be a principal producer of gasoline and oil.
Professor Knappen's survey work was on a 1300 square mile area of the northern Big Horn basin in Montana. This territory was surveyed for its oil, coal and general geology prospects. The under-ground water may deplete into a most important resource. We have purposes on large tracts of this land which may in the future become first-class farm land.

BONDED SCOTCH AND GIN FOR DIPLOMATS
Envoys From New Countries Will Be Given Warm Welcome
Washington, Sept. 22, (United Press)- When the diplomatic representatives of the newly recognized countries of Esthonia, Lithuania, and Latvia arrive in Washington in the near future, they will find a warm welcome, not only from government officials but also like their "dialemion" in case lots.
The forty-seven diplomats in this city smile when they think of what the news envoys are against.
One of the chief indoor sports of the nation's capital for three years past has been "let's go see Ambaassador So-and-So or Minister Blank." The ambassadors don't mind so long as currency flowed only from a bottle.
But when the veterans at the game learned that Scotch is laid down at the embassy's door from London at $13 a case and gimn from a trifle over $15, to speak of other neatly, the demand he incurred for "diplomacy by the case."
From then on, the "career" here became an appalling nightmare to those harassed diplomats. Wits have been worked overtime to devise excuses from importantate demands. Diplomats from the nature of things are obliquely persons, but such demands laid them open to harsh criticisms as "hootleggers" by Uncle Sam, if acceded to.
So these wise men who have been through the mill, shake their heads and smile when they think of what awaits these bright new envoys.
Little by little, however, they have gotten from under and the voracious seekers of cases are finding the game harder to work.
New Atlas Received

PEOPLE IN UKRAINE NEED AMERICAN HELF
Jewish Relief Committee Will Aid More Than 300,000 Children
New York, Sept. 22 (United Press):
"More than 300,000 orphans in the Ukraine, threatened by death and moral decedence, look to the Jews of America for help," declares Louis Marshall, chairman of the American Jewish Relief Committee, in a new Year appeal to the Jews of America. The Jewish New Year begins tom row (Friday) evening.
"The special committee consisting of Dr. Lee K. Frankel, Dr. Milton Rosenan, David A. Brown, David M. Breaker, and Morris Wolf, sent an early this summer by our organization to investigate and verify the condition of the war-striken communities in Europe, has reported that our previous estimate of 300,000 Jewish orphans in the Ukraine has been supported by a peacal. "These innocent victims are hungry, naked and exposed to dire peril of moral degeneracy unless they are once properly cared for."
"Together with the American Relief Administration we are now feeding one-half of these children. The remaining half are equally our wards. Our duty will not be done until we have saved them all."
"I am confident that the Jews of America, who last fall and winter pledged the unprecedented sum of over $14,000,000 for war relief, will not permit this terrible tragedy of the children to persist.
"Realizing what they have done and what there is still to do, those of the household of American Jewry are earnestly admonished to signalize the advent of the New Year by coming once more to the aid of our afflicted brethren who are suffering through no fault of their own."
The University Club, 1420 Ohio Street, will hold its annual summer tonight at 8:00 o'clock for the new members of the faculty. About twenty students are enrolled in courses routinely are also invited. Freshmen will be served.

The Only Way
To appreciate a diamond is to own one. It is not necessary that you wear a one carat stone or larger, but start in by investing in a smaller stone and when you can, a little later, afford a larger one, we will gladly exchange same and allow you the full price which you pay for the smaller one on the new purchase. Thus you can gradually own the size stone you desire and at the same time constantly be wearing a diamond.
