SATURDAY, MAY 24, 1924 PRESBYTERIANS FAVOR EUGENICS GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., May 24—An overture asking that the Presbyterian conference in session here go on record as favoring passage by congress of a bill authorizing sterilization and national eugenics now pending in the lower house, will be submitted, probably on Monday, it became known today. The overture will be offered by Judge Royal R. Graham, of Georgetown, Colo., assistant jurist of the juvenile court of that city. The bill provides for the sterilization of all convicted of criminal assault and provides for medical examination of all men and women before they are married. "We spend millions annually to insure better propagation of horses, cattle, dogs, flowers, etc., and I believe the time has arrived when the Christian people of this country should take steps to make impossible marriages from which issue children who never can be fit for service of any kind," said Judge Graham. A new species of spider with eight long legs, pink and striped with black has made its appearance in Colorado.

GUN ELEVATION APPROPRIATION UP WASHINGTON, May 24—The state and navy departments were asked today by the house appropriations committee whether the armament limitation conference agreements conflicted with plans for elevation of the guns on 15 battleships. Congressman Britten, Rep. of Illinois, has a bill pending approprating $6,500,000 for this purpose. It will have a hearing next week. Secretary Wilbur and other naval officials will be asked to explain the needs for greater gun range. It is hoped by Britten to get a favorable report on the bill from the appropriations committee before next Wednesday when he will try and have the $6,500,000 for gun elevation added to the $150,-000,000 bill for new naval construction. The money for gun elevation was appropriated last year. There arose a discussion of possible conflict with the limitation pact and the appropriation was repealed.

C. of S.C. It is pointed out that while residents of this section are familiar with conditions and know that the long dry season makes extra precautions necessary, the stranger does not realize the danger of leaving camp fires burning and carelessly throwing away lighted matches or burning cigarettes. Every possible safeguard will be employed this year, as it is expected that at best 5,000,000 persons will accept Uncle Sam's invitation. quickly gets beyond control. This situation entails constant thoughtfulness and every resident motorist is urged to impress personally the lesson upon visitors from other sections. There are nearly 20,000,000 acres in the 19 national forests of California, the scenic beauties of which are open to the public. The only provision that Uncle Sam makes as host is that th visitors be extremely careful with their camp fires and matches, and that they refrain from polluting streams and scattering rubbish. Hereafter gold from the Belgian Congo will be sent to the National Bank in Belgium rather than to the Bank of England as heretofore. DEEP TEST FOR THE LOMITA HILL By Ellwood J. Munroe Some months ago the park was made that as soon as production of the Lomita field of the Torrance district started to rise and operators started to tried as to the possibilities paying out, some one in the geologist's assertion deep sand was impossible put down a test well around. The production of the district has dropped to nothing; very few of the flowing and it is with that the other wells are keep pumping. With thisition existing, one of the old Belridge Oil Co., on the Sherman Oil Co., has the rescue and will try the field produce better. Some months ago the Oil Co.'s well, located inside of the Sherman Oil Co., has completed at 3775 feet off at 400 barrels and well as it could under these stances. Like other well district the production lived and the output did a few barrels and finally together. This is the well Sherman Oil Co. will down to 5000 or 5500 sary and find out what Should the Sherman Oil successful it will mean Lomita than the first disill oil.

New and methods, better management efficiency has its place well as in other things just come to light that nel Olco at Torrance 3842 feet of hole and p barrel well on product act 32 days.

SCHA OVERLAND AND WILLYS-KNIGHT. 335 EAST CENTER STREET DEEP TEST FOR LOMITA FIELD By Ellwood J. Munger Some months ago the prediction was made that as soon as the production of the Lomita field section of the Torrance district dropped, and operators started to get worried as to the possibilities of wells laying out, some one in spite of the geologist's assertion that a deep sand was impossible, would put down a test well and try it out. The production of the Lomita district has dropped to almost nothing; very few of the wells are flowing and it is with difficulty that the other wells are made to keep pumping. With this condition existing, one of the operators, the Belridge Oil Co., owners of the Sherman Oil Co., has come to the rescue and will try to make the field produce better things. Some months ago the Sherman Oil Co.'s well, located in the middle of the Lomita section, was completed at 3775 feet and started off at 400 barrels and did as well as it could under the circumstances. Like other wells in the district the production was short lived and the output dropped to a few barrels and finally quit altogether. This is the well that the Sherman Oil Co. will carry on down to 5000 or 5500 if necessary and find out what is there. Should the Sherman Oil Co. be successful it will mean more to Lomita than the first discovery of oil. Town lot drilling prevented the upper zone production from making the field commercially profitable. A deep sand will recover, it is hoped, a new producing zone from which some real production may be obtained. Records in the oil business are being made and broken almost every day. New and improved methods, better management and efficiency has its place in oil as well as in other things. It has just come to light that the Sentinel Oil Co. at Torrance drilled 3842 feet of hole and put a 700-barrel well on production in exactly 32 days. This is the fastest time ever made in So. Calif. and stands out as an achievement for rig is built in three days, the hole is drilled in from 35 to 45 days and the crew moves on to the next well. Torrance production is standing at 60,000 barrels daily, the new production more than taking care of the decline. The banner well of the field last week was put on production by the Doheny organization, the Petroleum Securities Co. completing a 1000-barrel well at No. 21 at a depth of 3760 feet. Among other completions of note were the Chanslor-Canfield's Del Amo 12, a 165-barrel well at 3856 feet; the Sentinental Oil Co.'s Joughan No. 6, a 500-barrel well at 3825 feet; the Shell Co.'s March Lease No. 6, a 600-barrel producer at 3880, and the Standard Oil's Interstate No. 7, a 400-barrel well at 3875 feet. Interest centers in the work of INSURANCE MEN TOUR Frank Tausch, J. E. Rodden, Perest Powler and C. R. Harrison are passing several days at Presno, where they are attending the Firewriters convention. The quartet is also making a hurried trip to Yosemite and plan to return early in the week. the White Star Oil and Refining Co.'s Empire well, a test well that pushes the line of production out east almost to Harbour-bivd. The Empire well was drilled to 3810 feet, developed bottom water and had to be plugged back to 3750 feet. A perfect water shut-off has been affected, and the York-Smulling Drilling Co. contractors are confident now that it will be possible to put this well on the pump at 200 barrels.
