PAGE FOUR 111 one eleven Three Notables VIRGINIA BURLEY TURKISH The three greatest cigarette tobaccos, blending MILDNESS-MELLOWNESS-AROMA one-eleven cigarettes 20 for 15¢ INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Nov. 16. National headquarters of the American Legion here is receiving reports about the unique methods many of the Legion posts are employing to complete their collection of 1922 mem-bership dues early in the new year in compliance with a request of National Commander MacNider. "Trust the ex-service man to find a way," said National Adjutant Bolles commenting on the resourcefulness of the former soldier and sailor. The story was told of a post in South Dakota offered each service man paying his dues before December 15, a biscuit baked by a recent bride and member of the Women's Auxiliary. Three of the biscuits to be distributed contain cash prizes—$20, $10 and $5 in gold, but none of them is to be opened until the night of the post banquet when they will serve as a card of admission. Early recipients of biscuits declare that from their weight it cannot be judged whether the bits of pastry contain bricks or feathers. The Legion's national headquarters is laying great emphasis on the early and complete payment of membership dues, declaring that the work of the organization for 1922 must start with the new year and that the year's income must be assured at that time. Members of the American Legion, who served with the United States forces in France, will be called upon to give facts relating to Senator Watson's charge that American soldiers were shot and hanged in France without the formality of a court-martial. Secretary of War Weeks in a request to Commander Manford MacNider for the Legion's co-operation said the war department desired to prove or definitely refute the Georgia senator's claim.

Members of the American Legion, who served with the United States forces in France, will be called upon to give facts relating to Senator Watson's charge that American soldiers were shot and hanged in France without the formality of a court-martial. Secretary of War Weeks in a request to Commander Manford MacNider for the Legion's co-operation said the war department desired to prove or definitely refute the Georgia senator's allegations. Lemuel Bolles, national adjutant of the Legion said he was sure the national commander would co-operate. There is one officer to every seven men in the United States army, according to information received by the American Legion. It was explained by the war department that the high proportion of officers was due to the present army policy of maintaining an army capable of quick expansion in time of war. The army today numbers 138,000 of which number 18,000 are officers. The first official act of Hanford MacNider, newly elected national commander of the American Legian, was his attendance at the Armistice day ceremonies at Arlington as representative of the majority of service men in the United States. He will remain at Washington during the disarmament conference. MacNider's election has been approved by Legionaries everywhere. "He is exactly the type of man we want to lead us," seems to be the unanimous comment. The impressive things about the new commander are that he went into the army a buck private and came oua a lieutenant colonel with eleven citations and nine decorations; that at the age of 32 he is head of a large banking business in Iowa and that he is a "Harvard man without the Harvard accent." He has been hailed everywhere as a "real soldier." A post of the American Legion composed entirely of World War veterans off Polish descent has been formed at Toledo, Ohio, and is known as Argonne post. Frank Szumigala is the commander, Stanley J. Grzezinski is vice commander and Joseph Malinkonski is adjutant. Roy Phillips, member of the American Legion at Nashville, Tenn., received a five-pound box of candy in the mail and wondered who loved him. After eating some of the candy he was sent to the hospital, where physicians pronounced his condition critical. The candy contained poison and Phillips is now wondering who hates him.

GEORGE DUNTON FORD AND FORDSON SALES AND SERVICE ANAHEIM PHONE 263 Radcliffe Girl Teaches Women to Keep Boston Clean and Safe Bernice V. Brown, Director of the Most Unique Educational Institution in America. BOSTON is to have custom made policewomen, probation officers, school attendance officers and sanitary inspectors. Bernice V. Brown, '16, has just been made Director of the most unique educational institution in the country," The Training School for Public Service," organized by the Women's Municipal League of Boston. Women are constantly entering new fields in city government and the town fathers in Boston have discovered that women do much better in teaching children. MAKE CHILDREN SETTLING OWN QUARRELS, SAYS THIS TEACHER It all happened one day between the little folk in the kindergarten room but it set the older folk to thinking. Kindergarten had not yet started and Tim, a little fellow of 3 walkers over and took the oak chair that Clifton, aged 5, had placed beside the table for work. When Clifton realized what had happened a tug of war began and the two children were soon joined by others, most of them to all little Tim. The kindergarten teacher stopped what she was doing and gave her attention to the group and, altho she might have stepped over and put end to the struggle, she only stood back and watched. It looked as tho the trouble would never end, and as the someone might be hurt, but still she did not interfere she only looked on. readv. however, she take a hand if it became necessary. At last one of the older boys was called to help He studied the situation, observed that the fuss was over an oak chair, and that there was one more oak chair in the room; he solved the problem by offering the vacant chair to little Tim, and all was settled to everyone's satisfaction. The teacher heaved a sigh of relief and gave a smile of approval, it was a step in the children's development, one well worth while. Why can't children settle more on their own disputes? Isn't it because we intertere too soon instead of giving them a chance to work out their problems for themselves? The same little Tim of the chair episode had a habit of slapping children when he became excited. He was not a malicious child, but he sometimes had an unfortunate way of expressing his friendliness. Attho the teacher understood his really affective nature, the children of 4 and 5 who received the neighborly slaps resented them. One day Tim slapped a child, who retaliated, and several blows ensued before the teacher observed the affair. Bernice V. Brown, Director of the Most Unique Educational Institution in America. BOSTON is to have custom made policewomen, probation officers, school attendance officers and sanitary inspectors. Bernice V. Brown, Radcliffe, '16, has just been made Director of the most unique educational institution in the country, "The Training School for Public Service," organized by the Women's Municipal League of Boston. Women are constantly entering new fields in city government and the town fathers in Boston have discovered that women do much of the city's work, particularly the housekeeping parts, extremely well. That the women in line for municipal, county and state jobs may enter upon their work well equipped. The Training School for Public Service has just been opened. The plan of operation of the school, the first of its kind, includes two main courses of study. The first group, on Law and Order, includes classes for policewomen, probation officers and school attendance officers. The supervision of dance halls, the location of missing girls, the influencing of wayward girls and truants, all call for tact and resourcefulness and lie within woman's natural field. The second division in the training school curriculum is the group of courses covering Sanitary Inspection. Women are especially well fitted for work in this field due to their age-long experience as housekeepers. Women know, seemingly instinctively, that dirty streets mean dust in the house and that careless garbage collection houses, streets and alleys markets, food shops, milk stores and bakeries. The training in each division will be given by means of lectures, field work and report writing. Miss Brown, director of the training school, specialized in the department of municipal government at Radcliffe and at the University of Brussels, where she spent last year on a fellowship from the Relief of Belgium Educational Foundation. She was chosen for the job of helmswoman for Boston's unique institute because of her sympathetic outlook on the working woman's problems, as well as her excellent training. Former Baseball Player Is Now Millionaire From Oil Investment NEW YORK, Nov. 16.—Fortune is puttin' over easy ones that are split-tin' the pan for Rebel Oakes. The former major league outfielder, late manager of the Pittsburg Feds and more recently the boss of the Denver ball club, is now Mister Oakes, oil magnate, close to a millionaire and a baseball magnate about to be. Rebel has made a big hit. A little farm of his down in Louisiana took a notion to churn up some oil, and while it continues to gush around about $15,000 will be rung up daily on his cash register. With more money than he knows what to do with, the Rebel has an ambition to get back into baseball in one of the few roles that he has never filled—an owner. Recently he sauntered into the office of Barney Dreyfuss, in Pittsburgh, and casually asked the Pirate chief what he would take for his ball club. The Smoky City magnate was inclined to consider it a good joke, until Oakes produced a roll the size of a truck tire and convinced his hearer that he meant business. Rebel saved a nice pile while he was going good in the gardens of the major league. He invested the money in a plantation near Homer, La. Oil drillers prevailed on him to allow them to go down on his land. They found three gushers that are producing 20,000 and 30,000 barrels daily and the owner's royalty is 12 barrels to every 100. There are indications of other wells on the tract. The Rebel muffed few good ones in the field in his day, and it looks as if he didn't misjudge the latest fly that fortune sent into his territory. Three Out of Four Wells Bring Oil or Gas-Report WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.—Patrol-eum or gas now is being struck in three out of every four wells drilled, considering all proved fields in the United States reports of the United States geological survey indicate. Only one out of every four wells proves a dry hole, representing a total loss to the drillers and their backers. In some fields the proportion of dry holes is but one of ten year 1916 produced drilling operations in which only 9.7 per cent of the holes were found dry. But in the same field in 1910 dry holes totaled 23.9 per cent, and in 1915 just 14.9 per cent. Oklahoma Has Many The famous Oklahoma field shows this result in percentages of dry holes: 11.6 per cent in 1919, 10.8 per cent in 1910, 12 in 1911, 14 in 1912. WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.—Patrol-eum or gas now is being struck in three out of every four wells drilled, considering all proved fields in the United States, reports of the United States geological survey indicate. Only one out of every four wells proves a dry hole, representing a total loss to the drillers and their backers. In some fields the proportion of dry holes is but one of ten. 16,000 Wells Planned More than 16,000 wells are being drilled in the United States this year, geological officials estimate. The first six months of this year $8900 new wells were completed. At least 1,000,000 persons, hundreds of them small investors and business men not familiar with the drilling industry, become financially interested each year in the drilling of wells. Oil stocks now are being advertised and sold in almost every section of the United States. Considering only those companies which actually sink shafts in more or less known fields, the chances of success would seem to be about seventy-five to twenty-five of failure. In 1918, one of the biggest oil years, there were drilled 25,684 wells of which 17,845 produced oil and 2229 natural gas. The number of dry holes was 5613, or about 22 per cent of the total number of ventures. Geology Vindicated Geologists, studying territory, are right in 87 per cent of their conclusions as to the presence of oil and other minerals, according to George Otis Smith, director of the United States geological survey. Large and successful oil-producing companies are closely held. Smaller companies, lacking capital and promoted by professional well drillers, have not the facilities for research. It is in these smaller concerns that the small business man, the doctor and other professional workers with their savings are most likely to invest. The percentage of failures, represented by dry holes, varies for the different fields. It also varies with the year. Thus over a period of nine years, 1919 to 1918, the percentage of dry holes struck by driller in and around Lima, Ohio, averaged about one in ten. In Pennsylvania and New York the year 1916 produced drilling operations in which only 9.7 per cent of the holes were found dry. But in the same field in 1910 dry holes totaled 23.9 per cent, and in 1915 just 14.9 per cent. Oklahoma Has Many The famous Oklahoma field shows this result in percentages of dry holes: 11.6 per cent in 1919, 10.8 per cent in 1910, 12 in 1911, 14 in 1912, 14.8 in 1913, 16.2 in 1914, 19.1 in 1915, 14.2 in 1916, 20 in 1917 and 25.3 per cent in 1918. The Northern Louisiana field led all other fields of the nation in 1918 in the average daily initial production per well, with a record of 439.9 barrels. Southeastern Ohio new wells came in at an average of 13.8 barrels per day; West Virginia, 15.9 barrels; Kentucky, 30.5; Tennessee, 76.9; Lima, Ohio, 15.6; Indiana, 28.2; Illinois, 20.8; Kansas, 117.7; Oklahoma, 72.7; Central and Northern Texas, 70.2; Coastal and Southern Texas, 578.3, and Coastal Louisiana, 496.9 barrels. Just when it looked like "bottom" had been touched somebody went to work and overturned the Portuguese government, and now wo don't know what's up. PASSING THE BUCK.
