(Dallas News.)
The phenomenal development of ihe
oil -industry in Texas during the year
1919 leapt the wheels of industry mov-
ing in thousands tof . iindtlttftions;
materially assisted in returning Amer-
ican solfiiers to their hemes and made
possible further development of the
automobile industry for without gas-
oline tor with high priced fuel which
would have surely resulted with deple
ted stocks it is conceded by dealers
that the industry would have suffered.-
Texas skived the gasoline situation i
and replenished the stock of lubricants
and refined products. At no time in
the 'history of petroleum has such de-
velopment been undertaken. Pioneers
in oil amrm that never before have ao
many millions or dollars been invested
in oil development in a single -State or
have so many .individuals been inter-
ested in lenses development companies
and royalties in such a short period of
time.
In 1918 and early in 1919 Texas was
oil mad. -Millions were invested mil-
lions taken out in prollt and millions
lost by the unfortunate. With the close
of the year the industry has settled
down to steady development. Interest in
oil is keen but investors are more con
servative. Those who survived their
initiation in the business measure tho!
distance before taking n leap and
while many a dry hole will be drilled
curators drillers and stockholders
are (not intogelher Ignorant of the risk
assumed.
The production of crude oilin Texas
was more than twice as great in 1919
than 11 was in 1918. The production in
1918 was approximately forty million
barrels. In 191Q it passed the ninety
million barrel mark.
Twenfr-flvc Oil Producing Districts.
Oil is now being produced in market-
able quantities in twenty-five different
districts in Texas. Following aro the
districts with their approximate 1919
production. The figures while not ac-
curate; to the barrel owing to the dif-
ficulties in securing production figures
for the latter part of November and
December will not vary materially i

DUBLIN Jan. 2. The government's
Irish education bill is c'riticized here
on tho ground that the Irish education-
al system should be framed by . an
Irish Parliament.
The Home Rule Bill was expected to
T" grant' separate treatment for Ulster-
but the education bill is framed on the
assumption that Ireland is a. single
limit. The education Dili sets up only

amont. '
It. introduces for the first time jnto

money has been found by the treasury j
; supplemented by- voluntary subscript

Religious controversy Is avoided by
the provision in the bill continuing the
existing plan by which the .school
managers; mostly the clergy of the Var-
ious denominations appoint the
teachers and control tho schools.

The Most Welcome Tire
That Ever Came to Market C
Men Who Appreciate Superlative Values Prefer The Brunswick.
In every great tire factory the
chief question is: "How much can
-we give for the money?" And the
product depends on the policy
adopted.
Every man who has become ac-
quainted with Brunswick Tires
knows that Brunswick standards
are again evident. This famous con-
cern noted as a leader in every
line it entered since 1845 has once
more proved that its policy is right.
A perfect tire is simply a matter
of knowledge and standards and
skill. No secrets nor patents pre-
vent making an ideal tire.
But standards come first For in
tire'making there is vast room for
skimping for subtle economies for
hidden shortcomings. Makers with-
out the highest standards don't
build high-grade tires.
The Brunswick organization of
tire makers includes a' brilliant staff
of technical experts. Not a man
among them Hag gjJen? less? tHar!
20 years in handling rubber.
Each is a master of his craffJ
And the new ideas they bring to
the attention of Brunswick direc-
tors receive sincere consideration
Every proved betterment i
adopted unanimously.
The Brunswick Tire is a combi-
nation of .acknowledged feature
plus Brunswick standards of manu
facture.
The result is a super-tire the liEe
of which you have never known be-
fore. The kind of a tire you wfll
gladly join in welcoming. '
Yet Brunswicks cost no more
than like-type tires.

that you will want ALU Bnirk-wicks.
