OIL WELLS WILL LAST ONLY 

 ONE GENERATION. 



Petroleum has a useful history of little 

 over half a century. In that time it has 

 grown to a world's yearly production of 

 about 300,000,000 barrels, with a sicken- 

 ing history of waste through burning oil 

 wells, unstored surplus poured upon the 

 ground, and insufficient provision against 

 premature water logging of producing 

 wells. One cannot say that petroleum 

 production, even in the United States, 

 has reached its maximum. Nevertheless 

 it has been pointed out that in the early 

 days of the industry the average depth 

 of a well was 150 feet, ten years later it 

 was 400 feet. At the beginning of this 

 century it was 1,100 feet, and to-day the 

 average depth of oil may be placed at 

 2,000 feet, a very considerable proportion 

 of the earth's workable crust. M. L. 

 Requa puts the probable life of the flow- 

 ing California wells at twenty-nine years. 

 That is, our children will face the neces- 

 sity of all this territory being replaced.

 MEMBERS OF THE COLLEG E. 



Doctor Jacob Diner, Dean of the De- 

 partment of Pharmacy, Fordham Uni- 

 versity, entertained the members of the 

 College at the meeting held May i6th 

 with a very interesting talk on "The Sys- 

 tematization of the Drug Store.''^ 



He exhibited many kinds of cards 

 being used by successful pharnDacists in 

 their business and in his usual direct and 

 characteristics way explained how great 

 an air they were in aiding to become 

 commercially successful. 



Dr. Diner laid particular stress upon 

 the importance of selecting a system that 

 was flexible; one that would best meet 

 the needs of the one particular store, 

 closing with these remarks : 



"Select a good system, a system that 

 will best meet your requirements, and 

 after you have selected it, see that you 

 keep it going. If you do this, it will 

 keep your business going and the cash 

 will come in in such a way that the sys- 

 tem will repay you many times over."
