Flvo years ago gaBo-lino gaBo-lino rotnllod at 35 cents In England and from 40 to 75 cents on tho Continent Con-tinent and there are those who even predict 40 font gasollno here somo day. Recent Improvements In refining have considerably Increased the percentage per-centage of gasollno extracted and Inventors In-ventors nro confident of perfecting carburetors which will uso kcroscno; but for tho present wo aro confronted with n decrcaso in tho gasoline content con-tent of tho older oil wells nnd an Insufficient capacity In tho refining plants. Our exportB, however, of ghs-ollno ghs-ollno In 1915 wero considerably leas than In 1914, although more crudo oil was sont abroad.

Horses will bo scarce and tlmo will bo everything, and tho motor mo-tor car and truck will recelvo n great impetus. Just how long tho presont oil wells will contlnuo to. produce, or when and whero now oil fields will bo discovered, no ono can say with cor-lalnty. cor-lalnty.
