It is hard to find words to tell the miraculous effects produced by the uses of petroleum. Without it the enemies of the United States would have had hardly any chance to wage war after the first few months. There could have been no effective aeroplanes or submarines if they had been compelled to depend upon coal for power. The coaling stations, excessively expensive and difficult to obtain and maintain, will have to be dispensed with. One of the wonders of the world are the gasoline stations everywhere. The difficulties of coal mining and the conservation of fuel will be materially affected by the ever-increasing inventiveness that sub stitutes the burning of coal oil instead of the. use of the heavy, dirty, stone coal, expensively, transported and laboriously stored, upon ships and wherever heat and power arc required. With electricity in the sky and fire and force under our feet, and the waves of the winds harnessed by the mind of man to be his servant what next? The revelations of the war have opened the gates to an upper staircase for every human being on the round globe. Think of it and waken to the great opportunities brought to our doors.
