RISING SUN, CECIL COUNTY, MD, FRIDAY,

clusively the futility of oil develop.
ment on a commercial scale. The
lower and most beds of the coastal
plain series were formed under
physical conditions that are not
regarded by geologists as affording
materials for oil production, while
the latter and more superficial beds
which here and there have shown
slight traces of petroleum do not
afford the proper receptacle for
extensive oil accumulation. 1t does
not seem possible from what is
known of the coastal plain geology
from Baltimore and Washington
eastward that oil will be found in
commercial quantities. 1t is not
impossible, however, though hardly
probable, that small pockets of pc
troleum, enough, perhaps, to pro-
duce much unfortunate excitement
and speculation for time. may
occur. At no point in Maryland,
are the structural conditions suit
able for the occurrence of oil or
natural gas in large amounts, and
all attempts at prospecting are des-
tined to meet in the end with finan-
cial failure"

A HeadIiner,s Mistake,

There is a young newspaper man of
Philadelphia whose business is the
writing of headlines for articles on To-
cal subjects. The heads he has been
turning out lately struck his boss the
other day as rather dull and drew on
him accordingly this order: Brighten
up your heads. Make them breezy.
Put more ginger in them. The paper
will stand for it."
Thereupon the young man turned
back to his desk. resolved to be as
brilliant and daring as he could. He
took up report of lecture upon heat
waves that had been delivered by John
Blank. Heat waves" he mused.
"Heat waves, by John Blank. How
can 1 write brilliant, daring head for
that?" He did not know that John
Blank was one of the editors Of his
own paper, and. with a little laugh,
he headed the report of the lecture
''Hot Air From John Blank" and sent
the manuscript up stairs to the COM
posing room.
Fortunately for him, it did not get
into the paper. Another editor saw
and intercepted it in time.-Philadel-

AS the Twig Is Bent.

The great problem for the suppression
of cruelty to animals may be solved if we
turn more from the corrective to the pre-
ventative stage. That trite saying aptly
fits, "You can't teach an old dog new
tricks" There is little hope of perman-
ent reformation among men and women
steeped:in the habit of cruelty. We turn
with hope, however, to the youth and
children of our day for the application of
preventative methods. The spirit that
animates a child to take pleasure in CIV
ing pain to dumb creature, more help
less than itself, is the same that prompts
acts of cruelty in an adult to child.
Some boys can find no better pastime
on summer evenings than chasing poor
cats from place to place; and this unfeel-
ing play is often carried to the extreme of
killing. A stray dog runs along, boy
picks up stone and hurls it at him;
yelp of pain tells us the aim was too true.
Dare we look with indifference at this
spirit of cruelty, which these apparently
small acts, are generating in the children
Will the peace and welfare of our country
