Refineries and ports have been built on the banks of the Thames and the Bristol Channel tp receive crude oil from the United -States, Ve»e*uela, Trinidad, Iraii, Iraq, Bahrein, Burma and the Netherlands Indies. Despite all these importations, oil production from stales has been continued and encouraged in Scotland. When shales yielding 80 gallons of oil to the ton could be found, distillation was profitable. Since 1923, however, production has been continued by aid of government subsidies from shales yielding as little as 23 gallon*, to a ton.' Kathleen Norris Says: .

"My husband and I were peculiarly devoted, perhaps We neglected her; she spent much of her time with my mother, who was for years an invalid," the letter goes on. "Now both husband and mother are dead, and I turn to Diana to find her as undeveloped, in many ways, as a child of 14: She is shy, awkward, selfconscious. She is pretty--or could be, but an utter lack of style, and a complete ,Jack of interest in her own appearance handicap her terribly. If guests appear, she rushes upstairs; if anyone meets us in the street, Diana looks into space, answers in husky monosyllables, bursts into nervous laughter. She will do nothing without m^; begs off answering the telephone, won't even go on an errand to grocery or drug store without her incessant, 'You come, too, Mother. I hate to talk to people.' "Perhaps I should confess to you," continues the letter, "that the Wonderful husband who^e loss I am now mourning was not Diana's father. I was married, foolishly, at 19, was divorced three years later, when Diana was two years old. She does not remember her own father, but has somewhat idealized him, evidently, for recently I found hidden among her treasures a snap-shot of hir^, holding her as a baby. He also married again, has several children, and. as he lives in a distant city his promise to„ see Diana frequently has long been forgotten. Wants Normal Life for Girl. "I love my daughter, I want her to go on into nqrtnal and happy womanhood, but my heart sinks when I consider the changes that must take place if she is not to be a twisted freak fcr the rest of her life. Diana, may I add, is only too good. She is nervously consciencious about anything I ask her to do, fusses anxiously over flower arrangements or the transmission of messages, asks permission even to walk to the corner post-box to mail a letter. She reads much, likes puizles, enters radio competitions, studies two languages. Her health is perfect; she wears glasses for far-sightedness. She has no friends. Of late, in bursts of hjsteria, she has threatened to leave home, but I do not consider her seriot^s, for she is. as I say, completely dependent upon me. Will you mnkc any suggestions that night help us both?" My suggestion, my dear Ann, would be that you foster this idea of running away to the extent of actually sending Diana away for awhile. In these days she can easily get work, hard work, and with hard work, and lifo in a boarding-house, which you must arrange for her, inevitably come friendships,, associations, disti actions and expansions of many sorts. Put her otr her own. Reassure her as to her appearance and her potential charm, tell her that you are acting upon her as a check, as a cramp, as indeed you are, and launch her into the world. Send her Straight to some industrial center, Detroit Or San Francisco,where labor is at a premium, and tell her you expect her to keep a journal and utilize her experiences in fiction form some day. Missed Happy Home Life, This girl has'been badly handled since birth. She was too small at the time of your divorce to realize anything except that she was losing 'he Daddy she loved, and getting in THOl CHTI.FSS PARF.M S MAY CAISE XEVROTlCS ff hen parents divorce arid remarry they should constantly remain aicare of their responsibilities toward any children by the first, marriage. ,4l best those changes are not good for growing youngsters. But whenever this has in curred the child or ^children must come first in alhfam* ily plans. Failure to realize this has resulted in complex behavior, problems which sometimes mar what might have been a beautiful, successful life. A mother urites Kathleen Norri* about n daughter of 19 who it "as undeveloped. in many ways, as a child of II." The mother is afraid her daughter tvill be a "twisted freak" for the rest of her life. his place a strange man who took no particular interest in her. Her chief companion was an elderly invalid; the probability is that she had none of the happy home life to which a child has a right, small friends com'-, klfe in and out, parties and picnics In those years you weren't making her your first consideration; there was nobody to stop her from growing as shy and twisted and unhappy as you describe her now. ~ Now your service to her must be to see that she is equipped with the right clothes, with money for immediate expenses, and with your en^ couragement and faith. The moment she is independent, given a chance to develop in her own way, she will lose her shyness and selfconsciousness, and blossom out in a •dozen directions. It is because she feels so keenly your disappointment in her, your bewilderment or misgiving about her, and the primary fact of her life--that you did not turn to her until you needed her, nor think in all the years of her childhood and first youth how desperate* ly she needed you--this is the reason that she shows you her very worst side, her quivering, nervous, blundering, stupid side. You conclude your letter by say-, ing "now, when we two are alone in the world, I must depend upon her for companionship--for all the happi-. ness that is left." But that's exactly what you mustn't do,. unless your protestations to her are only a part of the selfishness you have always shown toward her, and you honestly haven't her good at heart, after all. ! .

War Spurs So. AmericpUk Drug Industry Expansioi/ The war has led the other Americas to expand their drug and medicine manufacturing industries. With imports from Europe and thrf United States reduced by the ship* ping shortage, many of these countries are processing their own raw materials, to supply the needs i|f;, their own citizens. Brazil has established its ow* shark liver oil industry, to produce health-giving vitamins formerly obtained principally from cod liver oil from Norway. Bolivia and .Peru have factories for making quinine j to fight malaria, out of the cinchona , bark native to their Andean slopes. Chile has a new plant to dry digi? talis. Nearly all the countri.es ttf the south how have some hiedicine - factories. \ The first Brazilian mill to process shark livers was started by the state, of Sao Paulo early in 1943. Previously the oil had been extracted, by fishermen using crude methods. • With the new mill, quality has irti- i /proved rapidly. Shark livers are put in brine solution. The livers are then cut into chunks and the chunks ground into paste. This is put un- : der pressure and high temperature, | The oil is bottled and sent to Sao !"
