IS IN FAVOR OF CONSERVING Oil; BUT FEARS GOUGING Demand for ‘Gas’ Growing, With Storage Supply Ranging From 22 to 47 Days WOULD FIGHT PRICE JUMP; Failure to Accumulate Reserve of Liquid Fuel in 1928 an Iflustration Washington, April 19.—Car owners ef the country, who annually spend over two billion dollars-for gasoline and oil, favor @ constructive program Wo conserve the nation’s oil resources, but will be quick to resent any move on the part of the industry to create an artificial shortage with the pur- poe of raising prices to the con- sumers, according to a bulletin issued by national headquarters of the American Automobile association. The A. A. A. statement was issued under the signature of its president, Thos. P, Henry, of Detroit. Mr. Henry said that the national motoring body is tn whole-hearted accord with the policy of President Hoover as far as the oil resources of the public-owned domain is concerned. “When it is considered,” said the A. A. A, president, “that America has only about 18 per cent of the world’s oil resources, and in 1928 produced 68.2 per cent of the world production, it is time to adopt some means of as- suring @ supply for the future. “If all elements of the oil industry are sincere in the move to join Presi- dent Hoover in honest conservation of these resources there is little dan- ger of unfavorable reaction on the part of the consumers. If, on the other hand, there develops any indication that the oil interests intend to use conservation as a cloak for the cre- ation of an artificial shortage the or- ganized car owners, through their na- tional and local associations, will be found ready to do battle.” | | Mr. Henry cited figures for 1928 to show that there was no unusual ex- cess in the gasoline supply, although a was an overproduction of crude oll, “As @ matter of fact,” he said, “it Appeared that refiners did not ac- cumulate sufficient supplies of gaso- line during the spring and were pushed to fill orders in midsummer.” The statement continued: “Gasoline production totaled 377,- 183,000 barrels, or 15,841,686,000 gal- fons, in 1928, which represents an in- srease over 1927 of 14 per cent, “This increase resulted both from ere runs to stills and from an Increased percentage of recovery of from 39.6 per cent in 1927 to 41.3 per cent in 1928, The increased yield of gasoline from crude oil was due partly to increased cracking activity. “The indicated domestic demand for gasoline in 1928 amounted to 328,- 832,000 barrels, or 13,810,994,000 gal- Jons, an increase over 1927 of 11 per cent. “In view of this situation, it is quite probable that the low point in stocks, 26,378,000 barrels, or 1,107,876,000 gal- Jons on September 30, 1928, repre- sented only working stocks, “Moreover, figures for 1928 show that the supply in storage varied from one sufficient to meet 47 days’ de- mand, in January, to 22 days, in Aug- ust, the peak of the motoring season, when there is the greatest demand for ee fuels Ae barions “However, it is natural to su that if the oil industry succeeds in Curtalling the production of crude ofl it will naturally diminish the amount of gasoline, “The car owners feel that they have —. |,__Weather Report | Se ‘Temperature at 7 a, m.

AT THE MOVIES | Sd ° ELTINGE THEATRE A reproduction of the Battle of Trafalgar 1s seen in “The Divine Lady” Corinne Griffith's latest pic- ture for First National, which is now | showing at the Eltinge Theatre. Despite the magnitude of the mari- time scenes of “The Divine Lady,” this sequence by no means dominates | the picture, which deals with naval battles only as incidents in the great love story of Lady Hamiiton and Lord | Nelson. Miss Griffith, as the lady of many affairs and one splendid, ideal romance, worked in the picture steadily for over more than 5 months while another six months was devoted to preparations for filming the story. | The cinematic naval battles and; other scenes with old-fashioned sail- ing ships and men-o’-war took place along the entire California coast, from Monterey to San Diego. Land- ing scenes were filmed near Monterey, and three hundred miles south, the principal battle scenes were taken at distances ranging from fifty to one hundred miles from shore. Four ships were used as “princi- pals” in the sea episodes, and from eight to fourteen others for distant atmosphere, no action being shown on the decks of the latter. In this way the whole English and French fleets were reproduced. The cast supporting Miss Griffith in “The Divine Lady,” is a notable one and includes Victor Varconi as Lord Nelson, H. B. Warner as Lord Hamilton, Ian Keith, Montagu Love, William Conklin, Marie Dressler, Dorothy Cummings, Michael Vavitch and others, Frank Lioyd always to he remembered gratefully for his “Sca Hawk,” directed. CAPITOL THEATRE Sad eyes, with a slight suggestion of mystery, are the greatest assets a girl can have in the motion picture industry, says Howard Hawks, Fox Films director, who made ‘“Fazil,” coming to the Capitol Theatre on Monday. “When we began searching for a Charles Farrell,” said Hawks, “I knew that we were going | to have trouble. “I want a girl with those mysteri- ous, smouldering eyes, which express 80 very much, and yet tell so very little. This is power, of the deepest, most significant kind, but few wom- «©! en possess it. “Farrell, cast as a haughty Arabian prince, is capable of great love—but it is not the way of men of his wealth and position to confess their love in so many terms. Such things are deeper than words. “Therefore, I wanted a girl, with the eyes of the scul—a girl so vastly different that she could wrench the heart of this haughty lover and make | him declare his passion. “It takes the eyes of a siren to do that, but I did not want a siren. I wanted a woman who could love one man, and be loved by one, but her power had to transcend the audible power of the desert. So much de- pended upon the cyes—yet I wanted soul behind those eyes. “So I decided upon sad eyes, with a slight suggestion of mystery. Miss Nissen is the one woman in the mo- tion picture industry who completely met my conception of the girl I de- sired for this part. Her eyes, coupled with poise and magnificent acting, make Miss Nissen one of the most magnetic women in the motion pic- ture business.” Wolf Slain After Hunt Lasting Four Months Phoenix, Ariz., April 19.—()—Four months pursuit of a 10-year-old wolf whose depredations were internation- al in scope has been rewarded by his death, The predatory creature included in his range southeastern Arizona, New Mexico and Mexico. He was credited with having slain thousands of dollars worth of stock. Last Septemrer, M. E. Musgrave, director of the government's fight against destructive animals dis- patched Deputy Al Fields into the district with instructions to stay there until the wolf was killed. Every Path the animal was known to have used was blocked with traps and Fields established a permanent camp in the territory.

So much was plain, and Harold sensed that whatever it was foreboded fur- ther trouble for him. Never before had he seen Huck so openly agitated. Ordinarily the man was masterly in his calm, suave domination of any sit- uation. Huck did not offer him a cigaret, which as a rule was his first mocking gesture at these sessions. Always it; anything before you'll let me send infuriated Harold. The small atten- tion to his creature pleasure, coming from @ man whom he knew to be as ruthless regarding his soul as the very devil himself, never failed to whip the boy into a fever of impotent rage. But now, missing the gesture, he ex- perienced a cold dread. It indubitably had taken a matter of immensely | known disturbing proportions to upset Huck. And he was upset. His face was al- most drained of blood, but his eyes gleamed satanically, and there was even the hint of a suppressed snarl upon his thin, Picked looming Ups. M ** Harold made no motion to seat himself, standing where he was just within the door, while Huck made a few more quick turns up and down the room. Finally he wheeled upon that he was caught in the trap that | dan SINDAY POR SERVIC Dr. Brown, Noted Missionary, Will Spend Week Visiting in This’ District Bishop Wallace E. Brown, D.
