NS xt iR a¢ t e & In fact, the gasoline scare has been # argely pyschological, in the opinion _ wf the Federal Trade Commission. The _ failure in certain north Texas fields _ upset some of the oil men, and made g’ immediate mortgage seem possible. y 1920 has begun fortunately however; ‘‘â€" and there are a good many factors x which point to increased production. ue f Some of the high lights of the sitâ€" vuation, as contained in the Federal Trade Commission report on the fuel «situation, are as follows: "It should be noted that the condiâ€" tions in 1920 appear to have greatly _ improved with respect to production _ and imports." ‘Production Exceeds Demandâ€" Increasing GAS FAMINE TALK Washington, D. C.â€"Gasoline supâ€" plies are increasing.. The latest Burâ€" eau of Mines report shows reserve stocks on hand at the refineries in April totalled 643,552,644 gallons, as against 626,000,000 gallons in March, and serves to offset some of the startâ€" ling statements that have been made regarding the gasoline supply. The consumption in April was 8,591,912 gallons, and the production was 11,â€" 421,843 gallons. er than all the available natural peâ€" <troleum of this hemisphere. They form an enduring asset, sufficient to sustain an enormous ultimate load for an inâ€" «definite period." Refiners can get twice the amount of gasoline from oil by using new ‘‘cracking‘‘ processes. The big midâ€" West companies using the modern methods are getting a 35 per cent. vield from crude; but refineries elseâ€" where are getting only 12 to 22 per cent. The cost of installing the new processes will make the change slow, but if any absolute mortgage should confront the market, oil men can say this means can be taken to meet it. This would mean an increase of 60 per cent. in our present supply. ; Mexico an Oil Empire Mexico is another source of future supply which has been almost doubâ€" ling its shipments to the American market every year. In 1919 the Mexâ€" jcan market shipped 52,662,000 barâ€" rels of crude oil to the United States, most of it to the Atlantic coast. With ‘only a small fraction of its petroliferâ€" ous area developed, Mexico is already producing 762,080 barrels of crude per diem, or 278,160,000 barrels per anâ€" num. ’ Shale Oil Fields Afford Infinite Reserve David White of the United States «Geological Survey, sees infinite possiâ€" bilities in oil obtained from shale, alâ€" ‘though this supply will not be tapped in great quantities until more machinâ€" ery has been developed. "Save Gas" Still Holds _ Motorists should continue to save gasoline, since the use of seven and a half million cars in the country means that the action of the separate units may have a great influence on the toâ€" tal consumption. Motor vehicles are the heaviest users of gasoline, autoâ€" mobile consumptionin 1919 being 3,â€" 167,654,400 gallons out of the total «consumption of 3,808,390,649. It is estmated that a passenger car uses 300 gallons of gasoline yearly andâ€"a motor truck 1,500 gallons. Others users of gasoline are air planes, motor boats, railway motor cars,. farm tractors, stationary and portable engines, paint and varnish manufacture, cleaning inâ€" dustry, gasoline stoves, and rubber manufacture. Mr. White says: ‘"The oil shale deâ€" posits of the United States are a possiâ€" ble source of oil in amounts far greatâ€" "The exports of gasoline in 1918 amount to about 15 per cent. In 1919 exports represented about 10 per cent. of the total consumption. _ "The total consumption in 1918 exâ€" ceeded production by 114,929,850 galâ€" Jons, while in 1919 the relation was reversed and the production of gasoâ€" line exceeded consumption â€"by 149,â€" 446,488 gallons." Oil Leasing Bill Holds Promise The Oilâ€"Leasing Bill passed at the dast session of Congress promises adâ€" ditional sources of oil. It is too early to say how much this formerly lockedâ€" ap territory will yield, but much is hoped for from Wyoming and some sections in California. Major producâ€" ers are making plans for drilling acâ€" tivity in these districts. The world‘s deposits of crude oil total 60,000,000,000, bbis., according to estimates from U.S. Geological Surâ€" vey. At the present rate of consumpâ€" tion this would be enough to last for 168 years. There are still 7,629,000,â€" 000 bbis. in the oil fields of the States, according to the same authority, enâ€" «ough to last twenty years at our presâ€" ent rate of consumption. flogging camps of the© province. The large trucks with trailers, are rapidly gaining favour. The Tire Manufacturer has kept pace with the Truck Manufacturer in bringing the tire equipment to the highest state of efficiency, the trend toâ€"day is from the solid pressed on tire to the heavy pneumatic cords, @sâ€" pecially constructed to withstand the heavy strain they are subjected to. The pneumatic cord tires prolong the life of the truck parts by absorbâ€" ing the continual jarring, caused with the use of solid tires. Their use curâ€" tails a great saving in gasoline, and they will bring a load out of a mud hole that a truck equipped with solid tires would not look at. ... ooommomemmeem The use of the motor truck in genâ€" eral business is growing rapidly in the Eleven head of cattle belonging to D.

THIS IS WHAT WE DO EVERY DAY Russell LaRose TO RECOMMEND REVISION OF MOTOR VEHICLE LAW The directorate of the Automobile Club of Canada is at present studying four matters of concern to the motorâ€" ing public, with a view to presenting to the Provincial Legislature at its next sesseion some suggestions for changes in the Motor Vehicle Law. One concerns the desirability of reâ€" form in the methods of prosecuting those charged with speeding or other infractions of the law .One constant source of complaint is the time allowâ€" ed to elapse between the alleged ofâ€" fences and the serving of the sumâ€" mons; thus increasing the difficulty of securing evidence when the motorâ€" ist charged desires to contest the case. A second question which demands atâ€" tention is that of glaring headlights. A number of states have adopted laws to obviate a nuisance which is also the cause of many accidents, and these laws are now being strictly enforced. While no particular make of headlight form of lens is specified in the legislaâ€" tion adopted, they are required to conâ€" form to certain principles and to seâ€" cure certain results in operation. A third consideration is uniformity _ of traffic laws throughout the whole proâ€" vince for all classes of vehicles. It was hoped that Montreal would take the lead in the adoption of workable regulations, but after, years of sugâ€" gestions and revision, the code seems as far as ever from being put into force. The fourth reform, which will be strongly urged, is that all vehicles be compelled to display a. light at night, and that vehicles carrying a load projecting at the rear more than a specified distance carry a red flag by day and a warning light at night. SsAFETY WEEK FOR TORONTO OCTOBER 10 TO 16 Ontario Safety League Will Conduct Spectacular Campaign Against Carelessness Toronto will have safety week from October 10th to 16th, under the ausâ€" pices of the Ontario Safety League. Similar large scale campaigns have been conducted with great success in American cities, with the various orâ€" ganizations working for safety coâ€" operating in an intensive drive against carelessness and accidents. During Toronto‘s Safety week the various committees plan to teach acâ€" cident and fire prevention to every man, woman and child in a spectacâ€" ular educational campaign in which various forms of publicity will be used. The public will be reached by means of posters, bulletins, billâ€"boards, street car cards, letters, advertisements, meetings and safety shows, and given a liberal education in safety. The various days of the week have been specially designatedâ€"Safety Sunâ€" day, with special sermons in the churches; Monday is Careful Day for motorists; Tuesday will be Careful Day for Street Car Men; Wednesday is set aside for School Safety; Thursâ€" day will be At Home Day for Safety; Friday is to be called Careful Day for Pedestrians; and the slogan for Saturâ€" day will be "Safety for All, All for Safety."
