A review of tlieM statements confirms Secre-

that tbe mining it-rival la In full swing. In tbe
Western States alone the metal production sbowa
an Increase In value of more tban $130000000
over tbe corresponding figures for 1914 and tue
year's Increase in output for tbe principal meta Is
. measured In vaiue la more tban 250000000.
Moreover it Is not onreetunable to expect that
when tbe full returns for all mineral products
are compiled tbey will show tbat 191S was tbe
country's most productive year In tbe mining In-

Preliminary estimstes of tbe total output of

a slight Increase over the corresponding output
- in 1914. It is believed that the total petroleum
r yield of the United States in 1915 amounted to
291400000 barrels of which quantity It Is also
estimated that 267400000 barrels was marketed

few years showed a tendency to overproduction.

BEST YEAR IN- v
WESTERN STATES
. Perhaps the most 'notable Item In the year's
. record is the stimulation of metal mining in the
Western States. Almost without exception tbe
Increases in production were large and In aev
eral States 1915 waa the best year on record.
-In Arlsons which lead in copper the output
of that metal exceeded the previous record pro-
duction of 1913. California continues to lead In
gold and bad the largest yield In 32 years and
. with one exception iu half a century. In Mon-
' tana and Arisona record outputs of silver are
- resorted and in Alaska the Increased production
' of gold and especially copper made 1915 a much
more prosperous year than even 1908 when Fair-

SHALE VALUABLE
AS SOURCE OF OIL
Inexhaustible Supply in Western
United States.
TO ORGANIZE TJUCLE
SAM'S AVIATION CORPS
Has Never Been Developed Because
Oil From Wells Is Cheaper In
: Scotland Is Important
Industry.
In view of the ever-Increasing demand
(or gasoline and the increase In price ot
crude oil from which it is obtained it is
Important to know that an almost inex
haustible supply of oil may be obtained
from the shale of Northwestern Colorado
Northeastern Utah and Southwestern
Wyoming.
This shale contains . materials which.
when heated may be converted into crude
oil gas and ammonia.
The high cost of distilling: oil from shale
as compared to the cost of producing oil
irom wens nas tnus lur prevented tne
development in this country of such an
Industry and may continue to prevent it
for some time but sooner or later this
great source of supply will be utilized to
supplement the decreasing production
from the regular oil fields.
The oil derived from tne snaie is "similar
to that which is being produced from
wells in the United States at the rate of
more than ZoO.000000 barrels a year.
When refined by ordinary methods the
shale oil yields an average of about 10
ner cent arasoltne. 35 Der cent kerosene.
end a large amount of paraffin. -
WHAT THE '
SHALE YIELDS.
The yield of gasoline from the shale
may probably be largely increased by the
use of refining methods especially de-
signed for that purpose. The gas' which
is a very good Illuminating gas will per-
haps be sufficient to furnish all the heat
required to distill the crude oil from the
shale.
The ammonia Is a most valuable by
product of the distillation and may be
utilized in tne manuiacture oi cqjnmercial
fertilizer or other nitrogen compounds as
the market demands. . The United States
Keolorical survey has examined lars-e
areas of the shale in Colorado Utah and
Wyoming and has made many distilla-
tion tests.
Some beds or shale that are several reef
thick will yield more than a barrel of oil
to the ton of shale' and one bed 6 inches
thick will vield more than two barrels of
crude oil to the ton of shae. One ton of
this shale should therefore yield nearly 10
gallons of gasoline by the present com-
mercial methods of gasoline extraction
and larger yields may be made possible
by new metnoas.
SHALE OIL
USED IN SCOTLAND.
Little attention has been paid to this
shale because the quantity of petroleum
produced from wells in the United States
has been sufficient to satisfy all demands
but for more than SO years the oil shale
industry of Scotland has been a very im-
portant one.: In a recent year more than
8000 men were employed in the Industry
in that country yet the average yield of
oil per ton of shale was much less than
that which appears possible from the
shale of Colorado and Utah.
It is estimated that in Colorado alone
there is sufficient shale in beds thrte feet
or more thick and richer than the shale
being mined. In Scotland. Tto yield 20.000-
000000 barrels of crude oil from which at
least 3000000000 barrels of gasoline may
be extracted by ordinary refining proc-
esses. ....'.
As was stated in the recent reply of
Secretary Lane to senate resolution on
the subject of srasoline: "The develOD-
nient of this enormous reserve--sim ply
awaits tne time wnen tne price or gaso-
line or the demand for other distillation
products warrants the utilization of this
substitute source. This may happen In
the future. At all events these shales sr.
likely to be drawn upon long before the
exhaustion of tne petroleum news."

EVERYBODY knows that reputation and character are two different things.
Unfortunate circumstances may give a man of good character a bad reputation
and other circumstances may invest a man of bad character with a good
reputation.' ' -
Everybody I say knows this. What is not so generally known Is that THE
REPUTATION ACQUIRED BY A MAN HAS FREQUENTLY A PROFOUND
INFLUENCE IN CHANQHNO HI8 CHARACTER FOR GOOD OR FOr. EVIL. As
Lord Byron confessed many years ago: .
"I made men think I was what I was not and I became what they thought me."
For this there is a simple psychological explanation. It is grounded In the rec
ognized fact of the tremendous power of "suggestion" on human beings.
There is a story to the effect that a group of medical students once decided to
play a Blngular practical joke on a fellow-student who was always boasting of his
health and strength.
As this student approached the medical-school that day he was met by a friend
who greeted him with:
"Hello! Been making a night of it?" '
"Not at all. What makes you think so?"
"Why you look pretty seedy. Feeling all right?"
"Absolutely. I never felt better in my life." .
"I'm glad to know It.I must Bay you look done up."
A little further along the street a second student put In his appearance to
comment unfavorably upon his friend's looks. Entering the class room two or
three students expressed to him the hope that nothing was wrong he was so pal
and worried looking.
By that time the unfortunate victim of the Joke really felt ill and worried as
his face plainly showed. When at the first chance he glanced in a mirror the
pallid countenance he saw In It shook him still more.
Before noon he returned to his lodgings. A little later when his friends called to
explain matters and poke fun at him they found him in bed while a puzzled doctor
waB trying hard to ascertain Just what was the matter with him.
Precisely the same influence is at work in the shaping of character by reputa
tion. It is the Influence of "suggestion" leading people to accept and react appro-
priately to ideas conveyed to them by other people.
When a man lias a bad reputation people do not go about telling him In so many
words that they consider him worthless.
On the contrary they avoid him as much as thsy can and when forced to come
Into contact with him do so with real regret.
This they unconsciously show by little acts which make plain that they dislike
and distrust him. THESE ACTS ARE AS FULL OF SUOQESTIVENESS AS
THOUGH ONE'S THOUGHTS WERE SPOKEN ALOUD.
The man with a bad reputation can not help perceiving the hostile distrustful
attitude. Whether or not lie deserves it this attitude almost inevitably has a
disrupting undermining effect on his character.
It tends to make him defiant and reckless or sullen and craven.
On the opposite let aWn have a good reputation and the friendliness and confl.
dence others show to him will tend unless he is at heart quite deDraved. to insolre
him with a desire to live up to his reputation.
The more that men believe In him the mors likely he will be to try to nrov.
himself 'worthy of their belief.
Here then. Is a hint of capital Importance to all of us namelv. to cuklvt
sedulously a good reputation not simply as an asset for business purposes but
Because oi its developmental influence on our character.
