WHERE GASOLINE
HAS GONE.
EUROPE’S ENORMOUS DEMAND
FOR MOTOR FUEL DE
SCRIBED.
(McClure’s Magazine.)
At the present rate of consumption
! the market demand for gasoline can
hardly be supplied for another twenty
years. We are literllv facing a motor
: car fuel famine, is it any wonder that
' gasoline costs more than 35 fonts in
j Canada? That we. in the United
States, are paying nearly as much?
That gasoline may soon be worth 40
cents a gallon?
At once you ask “Why not lift more
| oil from the earth and distil off the
I gasoline?" Oil refiners would if they
could. The truth is that our oil fields
; are rapidly nearing exhaustion. New
; fields may be discovered, it is true,
but the United States geological sur
vey regards the most likely regions
with no very optimistic eye. It may be
that oil may be found in pockets still
to be tapped in undeveloped parts of
the globe—in Africa and the Far
East, for example. But who would
build industrial hopes on a mere
chance? Besides. Europe looks to us
for much of its oil. especially in this
war of motor cars, aeroplanes and Zep
i pelins.
Before the war we produced more
than 65 per cent of the world’s out
put. We must be delivering more
than our normal share to Europe now.
| In 1915 we sent enough gasoline
i abroad to supply 350.000 cars, and
I nearly all of it was shipped to France
and England. Russia has her own
pools into which she can dip with a
generous hand. And Germany—what
I of Germany?
We read of Von Hindenburg shift
i ing whole army corps by means of
i motor cars in a bleak Russian coun
j try threaded by railroads too few in
j number for his straegic purpose,
i Where did he obtain his gasoline?
i Partly from Rumania (with pronounc
ed Russian political affiliations) and
! partly from Galicia. Who knows but
1 tens of thousands died in the German
ranks for the sake of Galician oil
fields? Who knows but barrels of
gasoline were purchased with barrels
of German blood? Who knows but we
might now see the dawn of peace if
Russia had succeeded in retaining
Galicia and its petroleum and in forc
ing Rumania on the side of the allies?

LOVE LACKS SIGHT AND TASTE.
—
(New York Globe.)
It is often said that love is blind,
and, judging by the experience of a
newly married couple, it hasn't much
sense of taste, either.
A few weeks after the wedding a
i friend dropped into the bridegroom’s
j studio and found the artist and his
I bride laughing heartily at some joke.
“What is amusing you so much?”
! he asked in amazemeit.
"Oh, it’s been so funny!” gurgled
the young wife as she wiped the tears
! of joy from her eyes. “My husband
i painted and I cooked this morning,
and now we both are trying to guess
what the things were meant for.”

AGITATORS VS. THE PEOPLE.
The public is gradually but slowly
coming to realize the truth of the
: statement that the liquor contest is
' not one between the moral forces of
the nation (which the Anti-Saloon
| League is grandiloquent style calls
J Itself.) and the manufacturers and
j distributors of liquor, but is one be
tween the great majority of the Amer
j lean people, who desire to use the bev
j erage. of their choice in peace, quiet
I and moderation, and a few agitators
who seek to deny them the right to
do this.—Home Rule Blue Book.—(Ad
vertisement.)

HELMETS SAVED BRITISH
SOLDIERS FROM WOUNDS
LONDON, June 1.—The value of
the helmets which are now being sup
plied to the Rritish troops at the front
is indicated in an article in the cur
rent issue of the British Medical
Journal, which says that in a big
fight where the Britishers were wear
ing the new helmets the number of
penetrating gunshot wounds of the
head was equal to less than one-half
per cent, and the total number of
fractures of the skull was under one
per cent of all injuries. Head wounds
have been set down, upon the exper
ience of recent wars, as accounting
for 15 per cent of all casualties, and
the latest data show that, in trench
tights at least, the percentage is as
high as 25.
"The British helmet." the Journal
explains, "protects the side and back
of the neck and the temples and the
upper part of the face as well, of
course, as the top and sides of the
head. It has also a smooth round top.
It stands away from the head about
one-third of an inch all around, the
weight being borne by a padded leath
er band fixed to the inner side of the
surrounding steel by a series of India
rubber buffets, each about the thick
ness of a lead pencil and about one
inch long. This detail of construction
constitutes perhaps tbe moot import
ant difference between the British
and French helmets. The buffers are
capable of diffusing and neutralizing
the force of a blow, which, falling on
| the closely fitted French helmet,
1 would be conducted direct to the
1 brain-pan."

CHINESE CAPACITY TO SLEEP.
Very enviable is the capacity to
I sleep In any position, w-hich has been
I attributed to Chinese soldiers, In his
' "Chinese Characteristics" Dr. Arthur
! H. Smith, the American missionary,
: says: “It would be easy to raise in
i China an army of 1,000,000 men—nay,
of 10,000,000 — tested by competitive
examination as to their capacity to go
to sleep across three wheelbarrows,
with head downward, like a spider,
I their mouths wide open and a fly in
side.”
