Bed- ford of National Petroleum Committee The National Petroleum War Serv- ice Committee with A. C. Bedford as chairman has sentout an appeal to all oil men together with a plan for the co-operation of the oil industry with the government in the matter of winning the war. The plan includes the stabilization of prices for crude in the various fields and especially in the Oklahoma fields where the bulk of the oil of this country is now being producéd. The principa] part of the plan is to keep the oil moving from the wells to the refineries and ‘then to the users. Ww: yoming operaters were fgund to be carrying on their share of the work to the best of their ability and the committee did not find any ‘par- ticular recommendations to make for this State and the Northwest. For the Applachian or eastern oil fields, the recommendation is made that no premiums in ex of 10 cents be paid for crude stocks and that the ge purchasing _ agencies do not arge their present quotations. All producers im the Eastern fields or those oil producing sections lying east of the Mississippi river are also asked to sell their oil stocks at least once a month and not hold same for accumulations. In the Mid-Continent fields .which include the Kansas and Oklahoma di- visions the following maximum pre- miums were recommended to be paid for crude: For Cushing crude, 75 cents per barrel; for Yale and 50 cents per barrel; for Gar- ude, $1.50 per barrel and for Billings crude, 75 cents per barrel For Kay county oil the price was also set at 75 cents per barrel and 2 premium of 30 cents per barrel was recommended for Healdton crude. For the southern fields including the Gulf Coast and Louisiana the committee recommended that a post- ed price of $1.80 per barrel be made jard. for the fields and that 2 maximum’ premium of 10 cents per barrel be made. In conclusi recommends t oe the committee at all producers see to it that the oil is sent to market in the us way and that any diver- sion from the regular channels be submitted at once to the Committee for judgment before being placed in operation. This last clause is espe- cially for the Wyoming operators where a possible new channel is opened up for disposal of crude. As an instance, one operator suddenly stopped crude and it was found that he was selling his production for the purpose of road oiling and thereby allowing a large amount of gasoline to go to waste when the roads under treatment could have been supplied with grade oil having no gasoline content. ENTIRE VILLAGE (i UPROOTED BY BRITISH TANK’ Machine-Gune Fire Overcome by Crashing thru Houses with Steel - Monsters, Now Proven Effective 9.— (British tanks up- rooted French village to stop the fire of German machine guns from the houses, in the recent Allied offensive. The French troops had been seri- ously hampered by the German ma. chine guns in or on the tops of the houses. Tanks were in the vicinity d a message was sent to them for istance. These complied, but the German machine guns were too well protected to be knocked*out by the fire from the tank guns. Accord- ingly the tank commanders con- ferred at the far end of the village and decided, in a hurried impromptu war council, to,destroy the village by sheer w ht of metal. The anks accordingly rammed house after house, bringing down the machine guns, extricating them- s from the ruins of jone house, proceeding to the next. In this the village was captured with- alty, and at rench, a tank was set on fire, the officer in command was killed and the first driver severely wounded, all within-the German lines. The second driver exting- ed the fire, assumed command, and later in the day, drove back single handed, preceded by about 50 Germans, whom he e captured unaided. a whole way out a single British ci once occupied by the In another attack Today? s ara Furnished. by OTIS & COMPANY, | Ground Floor Oil Exchange Bldg. | Bid = 25 American -O1 2 : Bessemer _ 04 ‘ Boston-Wyp. 163 1163 Black Bear -08 -10 15 -20 -013 -023) <3 -003 -013 Columbine — 07 -10 Cons.

VALUE OF PEARL IS RAISED THRU PARISIAN FRAUD -_— PARIS, Aug. 29. — (Correspond- ence of Asdociated Press.) —How an American white pearl worth $14,400 was treated with a chemical, given the temporary rosy hue of as Oriental pearl and then sold for $52,000, has been disclosed here. For doing this, Barboza, a pearl broker, and Varma, a Hindoo, were fined and sentenced to imprisonment for faking. By use of chemicals they attempted to in- crease the value of the pearls four- fold. This case clears up the mystery which has existed in the Paris market for five years since a.dealer in precious stones first learned that manipulated pearls” were being sold here. Varma, who is a lapidary, claimed in court that he possessed .a method |of improving American pearls and that he had been promised a share of | all the profits derived in treating the one which led to his detectios, if it were sold for more than $21,600. He was at work at it when it was seized by the police. The evidence showed that Varma has used on- the pearl acetate of amyl and collodion.
