Stabilization of the silver market and improvement of prices for the metal would help everything, including copper through the reopening of mar- kets. The downward trend of copper is reflecting curtailment of production on some properties. It is a natural recession because of low prices, and as long as low prices continue, producers cannot afford to produce more than they can dispose of. nXMcNAUGHruK 3, 1879. through practice individualism, this country had got a corner on most of the worlds silk automobiles, bathtubs, artists, stockings, and all that these stand for, the 10 per cent foreign market goes bad and the fingers of distrust grip the internal trade. What if the whole foreign market was cut off the whole 10 per cent which certainly hasnt happened? The result would be troublesome, especially for those few industries which specialize in foreign shipments, such as the lumber industry of the Pacific Northwest; but a 10 per cent reduction of the prosperity of 1928 should not, after all, make any great difference in our national life. That margin could be absorbed, in fact, by the practice of efficiency and the elimination of wastes that crept into the system in the free and easy times.

It is generally believed in America that the only feasible cure for the unemployment problem is to provide jobs and not doles. The experience of England, riddled with debt largely beause or its pensions, has not been missed by thinking citizens of this country. Stimulated public works on the part of the states is being advocated on all sides. Foremost among such activities is the building of roads. In many cases eighty cents of the road dollar goes to labor, which most needs are exit, and building materials out-of-wo- rk ELECTRIC COOKERY IS. NOT SLOW tremely cheap at the present time. As a consequence, a number of states are planning intensive road programs for the winter. Few localities have sufficient improved road mileage. We have developed great trunk highways between main centers of population whle. for the most part, five or ten miles away, in farming areas, roads are subject to the vagaries of weather and the seasons. It may be that more good feeder roads, will be a prime factor in alleviating the need for an American dole. And every dollar we spend on them now w:ll produce many dollars in the form of more efficient transport, easier disposal of farm produce and similar benefits. UTILIZATION PETROLEUM. OF It is probable that no other raw material enters so many fields of utilization as petroleum. Crude oil, subjected to a series of refining processes, releases gas that is the source of fuel gas, carbon black, and alcohols. The first products of distillation are naphthas and refined oils, which yield gasoline, commercial solvents, and cleaning fluids. The refined oils include kerosene, illuminating oil, stove and tractor oil, furnace oil, etc. The intermediate distillates produce gas oil and absorber oil, botl of which have important industrial uses, and likewise yield gasoline, by the cracking process, and Diesel oil. From the heavy distillates come waxes, lubricating and medicinal oils, and similar products. But the use of petroleum does not end here. The residues of distillation produce other things, road oil, asphalts, pitches and coke. A great many of the commodities we use in our daily life, from candy to medicine, are made up in part of petroleum products. The oil industry has proven itself, time and again, to be a cornerstone of modern , The average cost of Electric Cooking in Salina is less than 10c per day.
