THE ART OF CLEANING CONSISTS OF
Washing, Extracting, Spotting and
Deodorized Drying
Don't throw away your old suit or dress because it is faded or soiled.
It has a lot of life left in it, and needs only to be dyed or cleaned
to make it last another season or two.
The cost is slight. In every wardrobe there U a travel-stained,
faded or soiled garment too good to throw away and not nice
enough to wear. Our business is at slight cost to make just such
a garment wearable again. And WE DO IT.

Mexican Oil
The eyes of the oil administration
j at. Washington, the members of the
national petroleum war service com-
mittee and of a good many other folks
in the oil business are turned to Mex-
! ico these days anxiously watching for
i the action of the Mexican govern-
ment in the matter of the repeal or
modification of the prohibitive and
(onficatory export tax recently placed
on crude oil. The state department,
through Secretary Lansing, has made
a vigorous protest against the col-
lection of the tax on the ground that
it is not only confiscatory but dis-
criminatory in that it is levied on
exports going to certain countries and
that therefore the Mexican govern-
| ment is not living up to its treaty ob-
ligations and giving the United States
the benefit of the most favored na-
tion clausc.
Mexican oil is one of the most im-
portant factors in figuring the fuel
supply of the allies and the United
States. Even though the country has
been torn and raked with revolution
during the past five years the expor-
tations of oil to this country have al-
ways been largely in excess of 1,000,-
000 barrels a month, and more than
that to England. No matter which
side seemed for the moment to be in
power the oil industry has never beer
suspended, although it has frequently
been put of business for short periods.
The bulk of the oil production in Mex-
ico—in fact more than 90 per cent
01 it—is owned by English and Ameri
can companies. It has been used in
great quantities by the refineries on
the Gulf coast and the Atlantic sea-
board. It has also been exported in
great quantities to England where it
has been treated and used as fuel
It is a much heavier oil than that of
Oklahoma or Kansas and contains but
a small percentage of gasoline, but it
is an ideal fuel oil, having a heavy
asphalt base.
premium shall be made without ap-
proval of oil division. All agreements J
for paymen tof premium must he sub-j
ject to termination or modification
upon order of oil division.''
This message, coming from the oil
administrators, will have a strong
bearing on the meeting Monday and
will certainly add to the interest
which even without Mr. Requa s mes-
sage of warning will be very great. |
There are all sorts of rumors afloat1
and the only consolation is that the
worst seldom happens. At host, as
the matter stands today, th? uncer-
tainty is causing great inactivity and
is unsettling things with the process
of stabilizing the 'ndustry is under
way.
Two Important Ones at Eldorado
The Rinehart and others well on
the Mossman farm in 24-26-5 at last
reports was 22 feet in sand, the top
of which was found at 2736 feet and
the hole filled up 1500 feet with oil.
The well on the Unger farm in
30-26-0, southeast of the Ri'iehart
well is drilling at 2550 feet and it
should be due in the sand by this
time. Both wells lie jouth and west
of the Sinclair-Markham well on the
1 aulkenberg farm and will do much
toward teUing out the Sluss pool.
Mid-Co Loses by Recent Blows
The three storms which visited the
district on Friday, Saturday and
Suriday morning, each, with alarm-
ing partiality, left its cards at the
Mid-Co properties at Billings On
Friday night the flow tank on Wash-
burn No. i was struck by lightning
and the tank and contents entirely
destroyed. On Saturday night a bat-
tery of three 1600-barrel tanks
were struck and 2000 barrels of oil
burned. Sunday morning the rig on
the Brumfield No. 7 was destroyed,
an don Friday the rig on Hoover No.
2 was destroyed. Hc ovar No. 1 is the
original discovery well in the Billings
field. Th eloss from the tank} and oil
destruction amounted to between $8,-
000 and $9,000.

Petroleum in South America
Frederick G. Clapp, noted petro
leum engineer of New York City, has
made an exhaustive review of the pe
troleum resources of South America
and his conclusions have recently been
reprinted in pamphlet form from the
bulletin of A. I. of M. E.'s.
He classifies the oil districts of
that country into six district—the
Pacific coast, which corresponds to
the California district in North
America; the Orinoco district, which
includes all the field of the Orinoco
valley and delta; the Carribbean dis-
trict, which comprises the district on
the Carribbean coast and north of the
Cordillera de Merida and eastern Cor
dillera in Venezuela and Colombia and
east of the Western Cordillera; th«
Centrale Andean district, which in-
cludes the efilds occupying the pla
teaus and east Andean slopes in Peru
and Bolivia, with possible extension
into Equarior and Brazil; the South
Atlantic district contains the Como
rodeo Rivadavia fields and other pros-
pective fields on the Atlantic coast
from the Rio de la Plata south to
Tierra del Fuego and the western Ar-
gentia district includes the fields ly-
ing along the eastern border of the
Andes.
i The great preponderance of oil ap-
! . ears to be of asphaltic or mixed base
I wheh Mr. Olapp thinks is fortunate
j sine ethis is more valuable as fuel
oil and this will be greatly needed ir.
(the coming decades. South America
| he places fourth in importance in the
production of oil.
| Mr. Clapp has also issued a valu-
i able pamphlet of the ' Revision of the
Structural Classification of Petroleum
! and Natural Gas Fields."
