REVIEWS GROWTH OF OIL INDUSTRY Interesting Development Is Traced at Chemical | Society Dinner Montreal, Jan, 20~The develop. meant of the oil industry from com- paratively modest attainments to 'a gigantic industry representing an ine vestment of $10,000,000,000 was sketch ed recently by Dr. Benjamin Brooks, New York City, who addressed the Society of Chemical Indugiry, Mon- treal section, at the Windsor Station dining room last night, J. R. Donald, presided. The vast extent of the industry was indicated by a map o. .he pipe lines 'Yhese pipe lines woud hold 18 mil lion barrels Dr, Li. oks stated, Or- iginally only crude oil, had been sent through them, but now gasoline was also moved in this way, Transporta- tiva of this nature represented a say- img of about 50 per cent over the present railroad rates, he said. The industry now represented about $10, 000,000,000 and the slides showed plants covering thousands of acres, and costing tens of millions. While the ultimate amount of oil to be secured had often been figured by: geologists, new wells coming in always helped to increase the num- ber of possible years America could depend on its oil, he stated. Just when it was' figured out there were only so many more years left, new wells would add years to the po- te: tial life of the oil industry, from a production standpoint. The prob- lem these days, however, was to keep from over-production, and nearly all the trouble came from the small op- erators who occupied patches of ground alongside each other, Pictures indicated to the expert eye the rapid evolution of refining machinery, and one company saved 1230 r (lion dollars a year by some n impr. ement in the machinery.

SOUL OF TACT A well-known speaker lectured to the members of a literary soci ety, and at end of his address the secretary approached him with a check. This he politely refused, saying that it might be devoted to some charitable purpose, "Would you mind," asked the secretary, "if we add it to our special fund?" "Not at all," sald the spcaker.

Wilford, New Zealand's high commissioner in Lon- don, speaking at a luncheon in his honor tendered by the New; Zealand Associaion today, "We have not bolted or locked tlie door," he said in reference to the restrictions im- posed on immigration to New Zea- land, "We are marking time for cconomic reasons and by marking time we can buy more British goods and assist the British unemployment problem." Wilford added that ex- periments in certain areas had war- ranted the belief that in. due time new avenues for future settlers would be open in New Zealand. Lord Jellicoe, former Governor- General of New Zealand, in welcom- ing the new high commissioner refer: red to the fact that he was also New Zealand's delesate to the fiv-power with the General Motors staff, has Some weeks ago the oldest settler in East Whitby, namely Mrs, Elizabeth Garfitt, celebrated her ninetieth birthday, Mrs. Garfitt came from Scotland to this coun. try. To-day one of her old friends, who came to this country from England in 1851 has also reached that remarkable age of ninety years, This is Mrs, Eleanor Mec- Laughlin, of Simcoe Street North, wife of the late Robert McLaugh- lin, Mrs. McLaughlin, who by her maiden name, was Eleanor Smith was porn in Sussex, England, in the year 1840, In this town and also Kent, England, she lived until in 1851, when at the age of eleven years, she came to Canada with her parents, On their arrival in this country the Smiths took up regidence in a village about two miles from the present village of Enfield, This small and pioneer community was named Darlington, It is not in existance to-day. In the year 1850 a great storm which swept across the country known as the Ridgefs as far west as Milton destroyed 411 the timber condi- | ot:h. | in its path, A man by the name of | Campbell from Brooklin brought | up a good deal of this woou and started a saw-mill, around which | this village of Darlington grew up. | It was for this man that Eleanor | Smith's father first avorked in | Canada, He and a brother were | teamsters who obtained the con- | tract to draw all the timber to the | mill | ~ Eleanor Smith received her edu- cation at the little school in the | vilage of Enfield where she went until she reached the age of 17, of those with during school | Enfield, and who are to-day | well-known in this part of the country are, A, M. Jones, of Bow« manville and the Willards of Port Perry. Mrs.Laughlin can to-day, re- call and relate many startling tales of pioneer life which she her- self experienced while still attend- ing school and later she married | George McCulloch and moved with { him to Columbus, Ontario, It was in this village she lived even after the death: of 'her husband days at Pioneer Resident of this City Is Ninety Years Old with whom she associated | and prought up her family of six children, three of whom are ving to-day: Mrs, J. Benson 6f Edmon- ton, Alberta; Mrs, P, L. Grass of Sydney B.C., and Hugh MeCulloch of Columbus, Twenty-eight years ago she became the wife of Robert McLaughlin, founder of the Me- Laughlin Carrage Factory, and since then has been a resident of Oshawa, Although few of her acquaint- ances of her own age are living, Mrs. McLaughlin is not without many friends, for her home is a regular rendezvous for all the cousins, neices, nephews, grand- children and friends for niles around the country, who are con» stantly dropping in to call on her for a visit. In spite of her ninety years Mrs. McLaughlin is well in~ formed on every day and up-to- date topics and can carry on 2 most cheery conversation, Added to this she has the faculty of remember- ing clearly, interesting happenings of long ago which she relates very vividly. . To be ninety years old and still possess all those powers of mind and body, with which we are gifi- ed in youth, is something that very few of us even dare to hope for, but Mrs, McLaughlin has attained this age and retained along with it that something which fortunate people possess, of making themselve everybody's friend. Every Sunaay morning sces her in her pew at St. Andrew's Church, She does her own shopping down town, and is very fond of taking drives in her automobile and still g out to visit at the homes of her friencs, She remembers any one who is #1 or unfortunate and takes a great deal of pleasure out of doing help- ful things. In the spring and sum- mer anyone passing in the morning would find her in her garden, from which she takes a great deal of pride and rightly too for it is one of the best in the city. To-day although no special cele- bration of her birthday has been planned there is no doubt buf that Mrs. McLaughlin will be very husy all day receiving callers and birth day remembrances. naval conference. Lord Jellicoe said he knew Mr. Wilford would bear in mind the use and security of Britain sea communications were essential to its prosperity, and he was sure Mr. Wilford would appreciate the fact that the same applied equally to New Zealand.

Gustave Francq, chairman of the board, explained the situation in the clothing industry, as regards wages for female workers. There are in the district of Montreal 9,518 employees, he said, to which $126,213.31 is paid in salaries every week. This gives an average of $13.21 per worker. Of these, 4079 were experienced and earned an average weekly salary of $1695; 5431 were inexperienced and . he photograph here shows Lord [in Hertfordshire, England.

In men's clothing, the weekly average salary paid to experienced workers is $17.01, to inexperienced workers, $802. In ladies' clothigg, the experienced workers receive an average salary of $17.04, the inexperi- enced receive $8.67. In the shirt ine dustry, the experienced workers re« ceive an average of $15.36, and the inexperienced, $8.18. In the hats and caps section, the experienced workers $8.25. Mr, Francq expressed the. se- gret that all manufacturers had not thought fit to answer the board's questionnaire, but believed that the figures obtained will allow the: defe~ gates and the board to arrive at an equitable understanding. Percy Sparks, for the employers, thanked the board for its handling bt the question and its courtesy and sym pathy toward employers and employ= ces alike, Speaking for the manufac~ turers, he stated that all are agreed on the opportunity of fixing minimum wages in the clothing industry, but in view of the fact that the industry was divided into four or five sections, largely at variance as regards meth- ods of operation and working condi~ tions, he felt that it would perhaps ba difficult to arrive at uniform figures for the whole. Co-Operation Assured However, the subject would be ap- Proathed in an absolutely open mind y the manufacturers, who would co- the operate to the limit to assure by. success of the work undertaken the board. Mr. Sparks concluded. Other speakers, for the employees and for the public, expressed a simi« lar goodwill, It is expected that agree« ment will be argjved at during the day, and that the board will be in a position to announce the new mini« im, Wages in this industry by Janu« = Board Members The Board of Minimum Wages fos Women is composed of Gustave Franeq, chairman; Omer Brunet, Eu enc Richard, C.
