Impure = Notes.

REDLANDs. Nov. %. THE announce
ment that Rev. f. J. Inwood would
preach Sunday evening on Licentious-
nese, with some observations on the
modern theatet and ballroom. packed
the Methodist church to it's utmost ca.
pacity. The speaker referred to licsn-
tiousness Of thought. heart and act. He
deplored the fact that 80 per cent OF the
young men OF our land were not living
up to the white cross pledge of social
purity. The modern theater is destruct-
i've to the moral welfare OF our young
men. The speaker produced testimony
from theatrical leaders showing the cor
ruption Of the institution. He spoke OF
the modern dance from physical,
esthetic and sensual point view. In
Italy 72 per cent of the children born
are Legitimate. In Paris one.third as
many divorces occur annually as there
are marriages.; Legitimate children
born equal "a per cent; public women
register annually to the number Of 49,
600. This state OF things is largely
the result of the ballroom.
In Redlands some time ago
dance was held at which
were present not less thau 20 men VIII o
would glory in wreoking virtue.
The evils OF dancing result from two
sources, decullette dress and position.
The orator made strong appeal to the
young ladies not TO appear In mems
company with low.necksd dresses and
bare arms. The position taken ia q
waltz is sure to arouse passion. In
bsothel in Los Angeles, seven-tenths OF
the girls point to the ballroom ae the
beginning OF their downfall, and to the
speakers own knowledge, Redlands
girls had entered this resort.
As remedy for these evils, the moth.
ers were appealed to to instruct the r
girls along this line and throw holy in.
fuences around them.
In Delaware the age OF consent" is
bat seven years; in Wyoming it lie Is
years, which ia the result OF one OF the
blessings OF woman's suffrage. Young
men should guard their ears, eyes and
heart, and not look upon evils, which is
the only safe way.

1t seems to me that in most cases the
perfect jury would be one made up Of
men and women in equal numbers. The
fundamental idea of the jury is that ii
affords good average opinion on the
case before it, and that this average is
more likely to approximate justice than
the decision of any number of legal ex-
perts. In view of the admitted differ
ences between the mental operations Of
men and women, would not the intro
duction Of the latter into the jury box
give juster average of human senti-
ment than Is secured under the present
system? There is another consideration,
less important in theory, but probably Of
great practical value. Hunger and thirst
and impotence of confinement often
drive the masculine jury to decisions
which must cause the goddess of the
bandaged eyes to shed copious tears be-
hind the voluminous folds which secure
her impartiality. By her established in
difference to creature comforts woman
would raise the moral tone of juries and
compel decisions on abstract principles
When protracted session was in pros
pect she would first make up her mind
and then take out her embroidery and

town back in Pennsylvania or Eastern
Ohio, with its dsrricks and oil tanks and
quaint ''grasshopper" pumps. At pres
emit there are 80 derricks in the field and
new ones are going up at the rate Of one
every 4S hours. The derricks are not

consideration, the new oil at So per bar
rel ia equivalent to coal of the best
quality at "a per ton. and even cheaper
when the economics OF labor and the
removal OF ashes are figured in the prob
lem. At the present time about 100
barrels day are being pumped, but it
is only a question of a short time before
this production will be quadrupled, as
the supply seems to be very large, and
the constantly increasing development,
seems to have not the slightest percspti-
BILE effect on the flow of the existing
pumping wells.
The life OF an oil field is always a
question of speculation. but there are
conditions about this one that are very
promising. In the first place the oil
that is being pumped is ssspags oil. and
as oil sand crops out at several places,
it seems perfectly reasonable to assume
that there is a strong flow OF petroleum

the field, that is, 900 feet. The volatile

OF the field is full of reminiscent features
to any old Pennsylvania who has seen
the golden streams OF oleasinous wealth
pouring ont of the earth in the Bradford,
venango, or Butler fields, or the later
gigantic developments in tho Washing
ton county fields.
The first we'll in the new oil field was
sunk at the upper end OF the Second
street park, at the corner of Patton and
State streets, by Ed. Doheny, @. A.
Garfield and s. ii. Cannon, while Joe
Bayer has been developing inside the
limits of the park. The flow was struck

since that time numerous parties have

leaving thar original base OF paraffine
and reuniting with new base in the
asphalt bed which at this point overlies
the oil belt. 1t is therefore reasonable
to assume that by sinking wells to a
depth of 1000 feet, the legitimate flow of
petroleum will be reached, and that

county all experts who have examined
the surface indications are now willing
to concsde. In order to sink wells to
the deeper levels it will be- necessary to
secure new machinery after the kind
used in the eastern oil fields, where
wells have been sunk to a depth OF $500
feet. At the present time, however, the
owners of the wells now in operation are
very we'll satisfied with the flow Of the
seepage oil, which they can readily dis
pose of at good prices for fuel. They do
not propose to run the chances in going
