AMERICA WAS
BIG PRODUCER
OF GASOLINE
WASHINGTON, April 1. — “We
floated to victory on a wave of oil,”
said a British admiral in the first en
thusiastic moments following the
armistice.
Just how much truth there is in this
hurrah statement has just been dis
closed by Van H. Manning, director
of the bureau of mines, department of
the interior, in the yearly statement
on the production of gasoline in this
country.
In 1916, before the United States
entered the war, according to the
statement the production of gasoline
was a little short of fifty million bar
rels. In 1917, when war activity was
accelerated by the entry of the United
States into the war, the production of
grsoline had increased to nearly sixty
eight million barrels, an increase of
more than fifty thousand barrels a
day.
It was thought by many that this
must be the peak of American patri
otic effort, but in 1918, when the war
had assumed even greater proportions,
the production of gasoline was over
eighty-five million barrels, an increase
for the year of more than seventeen
million barrels. The daily increase
for this year over the record-breaking
year of 1917 was about forty-seven
thousand barrels for each of the 365
days, or almost as much more as the
increase of the previous year.
How this country sent an ever in
creasing flood of this gasoline to the
allies and to friendly countries is seen
in the export figures. In 1916 there
were 8,473,102 barrels of gasoline sent
abroad. In 1917 this amount had in
creased to 9,901,877 barrels, an in
crease of about 4,000 barrels a day.
In 1918 these exports had reached a
total of 13,312,508 barrels, an increase
of nearly 10,000 barrels a day over
the year 1917.
It is the opinion of Mr. Manning that
} ho single industry in this country oi
so important a nature ever made such
a showing in a single year and he
doubts if the future will ever show
such a record of achievement.
CANADA TO ADOPT
SMALLER-SIZED PENNY
WINNIPEG, Man., April 1.—The
big penny of Canada, for years the
subject of mild controversy in the
Dominion, is at last to be replaced bj
a coin somewhat resembling the
American cent in size and fineness.
The government announced, how
ever, that the big cent would continue
in circulation, which is somewhat ol
a compromise, as enemies of the giant
penny w’anted it melted out of exist
ence. One of their chief arguments
was that a person carrying fifteer
Canadian pennies soon became round
shouldered.
Banks favored the large coin be
cause it stacked easily.
LARGE COAL OUTPUT
i OF WEST VIRGINIA
CHARLESTON, W. Va„ April 1.—
Mines of West Virginia produced 80,
674,913 gross tons of coal during the
fiscal year which ended June 30, 1918,
according to figures just issued by the

endar year of 1918, the department

year of 1918 increased 689,408 tons,
according to the report, the total
being 3,122,722 tons. The production

quired the services of 91,865 men dur
ing 1918, an increase of 3,200 men
over 1917. A total of 793 companies
operating 1,359 mines, produced the
coal and coke, this feature of the re
port showing increases of 126 com
panies and 156 mines.

LOOPING THE LOOP I
IN CLOSED AUTOMOBILE!
STEUBENVILLE, O., April 1.—
Probation Officer Dunlavey K. Voor
hees, aged 60, and his son Frank, 28,
of this city have a pretty good idea
what the sensations are of a circus
performer in looping-the-loop, or an
aviator who does stunts in the air.
While riding a closed automobile
which the elder man was learning to
operate, the car plunged over a 100
foot embankment, to the tracks of the
Panhandle railroad.
Although the auto turned over five
times in its descent, had Its top
ripped off by protruding rocks in the
cliff and landed bottom side up, both
occupants crawled from beneath the
wreckage, suffering only slight
scratches.
