Washington, D. C. ? If you have
been losing any sleep over the
probability that America's oil sup
ply would be exhausted within fif
teen years, you can relax now.
Dr. Gustav EglofT and J. C. Mor
rell, Chicago research workers,
have looked over the situation and
find it not exactly rosy, but satisfac
tory. Experts have estimated that
there is enough oil in proven fields
to last for fifteen years if recovered
by present methods. However, new
methods are being developed which
will make it possible to obtain oil
for the next 100 years.
TJesides, there are new fields be
ing discovered. In the future this
quest for oil fields will go forward
on a more scientific basis.
Oil Irreplaceable.
Regardless of these new discov
eries, all must reognize that oil is
irreplaceable, our fastest vanishing
resource and will be exhausted
eventually. Thus it falls to the
chemist to assure the world of its
future supply of motor oil, the Chi
cago pair believe.
Natural gas is one of large poten
tial sources of motor fuel which

may be tapped by means o ? chem
ical reactions. Chemists estimated
there is 1,600,000,000,000 cubic feet
of natural gas in the United States.
Some of this will be consumed as
the crude oil is recovered from the
earth and so even this supply is not
sufficient.
Coal, it is believed, will be the
greatest source of motor fuel once
the oil fields are dry.
Let us look at the earth's coal re
sources. There are 7,400,000,000,000
tons in the world's estimated re
serves, which at the present rate of
consumption will last for at least
6,000 years if burned in solid form.
But if converted into motor fuel by
present known methods, this supply
of coal would make enough for 24.000
years.
More Expensive.
Chemists admit that it will cost
more to recover gasoline from coal
than from crude oil. But that is
one of the things that future gen
erations will have to do to pay for
the current reckless expenditure of
natural oil resources.
In the future, chemists will be
able to produce from coal almost
any desired hydrocarbon product or
derivative which is now refined
from petroleum. By the use of cat
alytic reactions, chemists already
have laid the foundations for the
production of explosives, dyes,
drugs and medicines which are now
produced only as coal tar deriva
tives.

Tennis Played by Romans
The Romans had a game of ten
nis, which they called pia, but even
before the Romans, Calen, an old
Greek medical gentleman, had writ
ten of it to the effect that it was
in his time a healthful exercise, and
quite nice. Herodotus thinks it was
first played by Lybians, in the reign
of King Atyx, many years before
Christ was born. It has been called
"the king of games."

LEONARD A. BARRETT
The greater portion of business is
transacted on credit. Credit is only
anoiner wora ior
faith; faith in the
ability of the
creditor to pay,
or faith in the
stability of collat
e r a 1 offered as
security for a
loan. Remove
faith from the
business world
and we have
bankruptcy. Busi
ness lives b y
faith not only in
the economic val

things but also in the trustworthi

the success of any business concern.
We live by faith in one another.
We live physically tay faith in the
reliability of laws which, though not
seen, have proved themselves in
time - tested manifestations. The
farmer has no assurance of a har
vest other than his faith in nature's
usual and normal response to seed
time and harvest and to the steady
law of increase in generous meas
ure. The crop may fail because of
drouth or other unforeseen calami
ty, but faith bridges these possibili
ties and trusts "the larger hope."
Faith is a more potent force in
our daily life than we realize. All
our created comforts depend upon
it. We enjoy a comfortable night's
sleep in a Pullman car because we
have faith in those who manipulate
the railway system. Our restora
tion to health depends largely upon
our faith in those who minister to us
during an illness. We enjoy our
meals because we have faith in
those who prepared them. We go
to sleep at night with the assur
ance of the light that cometh in the
morning. The faith by which we
live is always the "evidence of
things unseen." We unquestionably
trust the laws of the cosmic world.
That rare art of friendship is
wholly a matter of faith. The mo
ment we doubt the sincerity or in
tegrity of a friend there is a rift in
the clouds. Faith makes homes se
cure. Fa^fh clears the way through
many storms. When we feel some
thing alien moving about in the
closets of the heart, faith gives us
the courage to face the intruder
with the searchlight turned fearless
ly upon the hidden self. "Well roars
th& storm to those who hear a deep
er voice across the storm."
Faith must be real and not sham
nor pretense. Faith is not trying to
believe something you doubt is true;
but it is full surrender to the time
tested reactions of all those forCM
upon which life depends. The most
important forces are those within
our own personality. The Greeks
had the motto: "Know thyself." To
that idea we might add the thought:
Believe in yourself. Every man
knows himself better than anyone
else knows him.

makes paddles for use on freshmen
during fraternity initiations at the
University of Pennsylvania. He has
made over 10,000 of them. The
regulation size weapon is 30 inches

Naturally, the freshmen love him.
"Sometimes the freshmen are sent
to get their own paddles," he says.
"They ask me if I can make espe
cially soft ones. I can't do it, I tell
them. Best thing is to put shingles
where you are ?air>g to get hit." He
is shown here ho ldm g different size

also possible that first rating

Chintz, calico or gingham chair

as comfort to a room. Such pads
are often used on the backs o(
chairs and not on the seats, and
especially (or side chairs, the seat
pads used without any back cov

things as these it is quite easy to
do the quilting on the machine.
Or, i( you wish to take the other
point o( view about it, the work o(
quilting them by hand would not
consume an unreasonable amount

handwork has a certain quaint
