Criticizes Use of Oil.
Dr. White of tl'r United Slates ge-
ologlcnl survey hns declared It "no
less than an economic crime to use oil
under boilers ns fuel." because the sup-
ply of oil was so rapidly declining In
the United States and elsewhere and
because It would soon be "a very seri-
ous problem ns to gqttlng the neces-
sary amount of labrlconts—which is
really thp most lmportnnt part of the
rock oil business."

perfectly and needed no alteration,
which slie had /put on under her coat
and which the 6l#rk had failed to ad-
vise me of. We made the excuse that
the needed alterations to the other ar-
ticles would require some time, asking
them to call later, which they agrees

car and overtook them at Howe.
"The woman was required to return
the dreaa and petticoat to my atore,
but it had been ruined mid she was
induced to require her husband to
indemnify us for it. The other arti-
cles she bought but did not pay for
did not get out of the store."
