they may be induced to extend their trip
to include the Pacific Coast and the great
International Exposition to be held in San
Francisco, as well as the New York Worlds
Fair.
Traveling from Atlantic to Pacific would
show King George and Queen Elizabeth, as
nothing else could, the tremendous sweep of
the country, the resources and the friend
liness of the people of the United States.
Commenting on their proposed visit, the
New York Times says editorially; "Their
visit would symbolize in an unprecedented
manner the friendship of the great English
speaking peoples and a, century and a
quarter of peace between them* To increase
still further the good will between this na
tion and ths British Commonwealth would
imply no sort of an alliance, but, merely
greater co-operation op the part of botn
countries in striving to build a world that
bay be dedicated to the ways of peace rath
er than'the ways of wiir."

CHANGE COAL
INTO.OIL
Pittsburgh Scientific Group Lookj
Ahead To Exhaustion Of Oil
Supply
Pittsburgh.—There is a little
scientific group in Pittsburgh which
is looking ahead to the days when
the nation's oil supply will be dan
gerously depleted o r actually ex
hausted.
That is a vital question to this,
country's 120,000,000 inhabitants b"- •
cause these men —they man the U.
S. Bureau of Mines laboratory her"
—figure that the current oil suppiy
of approximately 13,000,000,000 bar
rels will be exhausted in about 10
years.
With this in mind, Dr. H. H.
Storch, supervising chemist and 'is
staff, have built a small plant far
the changing of soft coal into o'u
This is don e through process call
ed hydrogeneration of coal because
the coal is combined with hydrogen
to transform it into oil. It is the
only such plartt in the United
States.
The importance these men attach
to this process is Been ii) the fact
that they keep n day-to-day watcli
on its performance. They work in
three eight hour shifts, for tho
plant operates coninuously.
.Using 100 pounds of soft coal, tha
plant produces 70 to 75 pounds of
good light oil daily. From this oi'
through a highly-complicated pro
cess that requires pressure of 3,000
pounds per square inch and tem
peratures of 850 degrees Fahrenheit,
about 00 pounds of gasoline can be
obtained
Dr. Storeh believes that unless i
less expensive way of obtaining the
oil is found, gasoline products by
such a process would cost around 50
cents a gallon. He predicts that th'»
day when th e nation may have to
face sueh a problem is not far off
Me and his assistant, Dr. L. L.
Hirst, are hard at work at presort,
on the problem of reducing the cost
of production.
These government men predict
that some day in the near future
liydrogcnation of coal is bound to
lie an important industry. It has , l
ueen estimated that there is enough
soft coal in the United States to!
last 4,000 years at the present rate L
of consumption.
VICTORIAN SPORTS
COME BACK
Commentator Magazine,
Sports which were popular back in
the Gay Nineties are found to have
more of a following today thin
they did *vhen they first came oit
says John McCarthy, prominent
sports writer, in the December iss*e
of the Commentator magazine. x *
Cycling, arphery, , croquet, horse.
shoe table tennis, bad
minton, handball,, figure skating
harnoss racing and'other V»ctpri*n
pastimes tire-leaders, in the field fit
sports today even more than thiy
were in the "gpod old days." SpoM
ing goods manufacturers report
that sales of equipment for thein tbp
all previous records. ,
Harness racing alone, , thanks to
the superb performances of tfe«
world's greatest trotter, Greyhound,
finds over 25,000 horses competing
in some thousand meets for mort
than $46,000,000 in purses.
Roller skating, finds itself the bi£i
business class with thousands of
rinks all over the country.
On the road today, throughout the
! United Staies, there are from 6 -
1 000,000 to 7,000,000 bicycles. Bike
clubs and the American Youth Hos
tel movement have brought bicycling
back into greater prominency aB a.
sport than ever before. Hollywood
I press agents have found the bike
practically indispensable in theii
work. For in it they found a new
and natural way to photograph the
pretty movie stars in shorts. Basi
cally, of course, it means that they
are able to us c pictures of the tan
talizing thighs of the feminine
stars without evoking rebuke from
the Hays office or the Legion of
Decency.
