COMPETITIVE BY W. S. COUSINS (IINS) Financial Editor) NEW YORK, Jan. 22. According to the American Petroleum Institute, which has jusc published the results of a thorough and comprehensive survey of the oil industry in America, there is an aggregate of S11.000, 000,000 invested the business of producing, refining, transporting and selling oil and its various, by -products to American and foreign consumers.

This investment is roughly divided as follows: Production of crude oil five billion dollars; refining, three billion; marketing, one billion and a quarter; pipe lines, one billion: tank cars, three hundred million and tank steamers, five hundred million. Only two generations ago the prin cipal use of oil was as a medicinal basis for all sorts of evil-smelling medicines and tonics.

New avenues for the use of gaso line and fuel oil have been opened up the aircraft, automobile, shipping railroad, power piant and other in dustries, as well as the lighting and heating of commercial and residential dwellings.
