snec,al % the INDIANAPOLIS Journal.

Special TO the indianapolis Journal.
MONTPELIER, Ind, July 5.-The pipe
line conditions in the greater Indiana" oil
field for the month of June are sufficient
to cause happiness among all interested
In the industry. Rapid strides are being
made in the State, and June shows the
largest amount Of oil runs from the well
for any month in the history OF the field.
The total runs from the wells Of Indiana
for June were 7S7,e70 barrels, an average
Of 1928 barrels, compared with 2S.21S
barrels in May. The valuation of this prod
yet to the well owners and farmers is the
magnificent sum of $62s, AS. OS. The total
shipments OF oil from the fields for June
were csc, 211 barrels, or a daily average of
1854, against 31,501 barrels for May. The
valuation Of the shipments was $7S5, 229.15
For the six months ending June 80 the
runs of the entire field amounted to $685.
O40 barrels, with a value Of 3 ,245, S22. rs. or
an average valuation per month of $780,
970.49. The real valuation Of the 5.5l6, 321
barrels of shipments was s4.477, O6S.SS This
an additional 70 cents on each barrel for
of the shipments $3.50, 1928. But very few
people nave an idea OF the large amount of
| money required TO handle and care for the
product of an oil field. The following table
shows the daily runs and shipments Of In
diana crude oil for the month of June:

When any one asked little Mrs. Pratt her
opinion on the question of equal suffrage
she had her answer ready. u don't want
20 hear anything about it," she would say,
pleasantly but firmly, and I'd just as soon
tell you why. It's because there's got TO be
a concealment and mystery about voting,
and L like things open and above board;
it's the way l was brought up, and the way
/ snail always feel, if L live to be a hundred.
"Ive had one experience. and that's all
/ want. A friend of mine talked and talked
TO me voting on the educational ques-
ton. till at last l said L would, because /
was brought up to think a great deal OF
education, and 1 always shall. So l gave
up an engagement TO go to the polls and
register land the dress was almost spoiled
on account Of my missing that tryin-On,
too: because she didn't wait 10 see whether
IL fitted or not, but stitched the seams
right up). and then I took the greatest
Mains to go and vote just as they'd told me
10. and what do you uppose Henry Pratt
foid me afterwarde Ny vote was thrown
out. because l had the TO write
nv full name and address on 1t!
sI told Henry that nothing would surprise
me after that-nothing!

FALSE TAILS FOR HORSES.
One Could Buy n Whole Horse for the
Cost of Such an Appendage.

New York Sun.
False tails for horses" said a dealer in
horse equipments, "are provided for ami
mails that have become what is called rat
tailed. 1t would be in the case of a fine
horse only that such a deficiency would be
supplied, for false tails are somewhat ex-
pensiVe.
The least expensive OF them would cost
$3.50 and they would run from that up to
as high as $50.
What? Why, certainly. You could buy
a whole horse of some sorts for what such
a tail would cost, but the cost of these tails
horses upon which they are used. These
animals are fine, handsome and valuable
carriage horses, lacking only IN this
feature, useless in their work without 1t.
1.-The false tail is attached to the crupper
Of the harness and is further secured IN
place by fastenings made fast around the
actual tail; ii Is put on and taken of with
the harness. 1t Is worn without the Slight
est discomfort 10 the horse, it can't come
off and IL is absolutely undistngu ishablc
from q natural tall.
False tails for horses are made in Eng
land, and while IN some cases IL might be
possible TO supply demands from tails in
stock here, they are commonly made &c
order. for the individual horses for which
they are required 1t takes about two
months from their receipt TO fill orders for
The demand for them varies with the
fashions in which horses tails are worn.
When horses tails are worn short there is
naturally less demand for false tails than
there is when long tails are In fashion"

Warm Arms

Doctors are not as a general rule
greatly influenced by purely sentiment
al considerations, and they have is
sued the mandate: Babies should not
be rocked to sleep" This would at first
seem cruel and arbitrary, but it is not
as unreasonable as would appear, saws
Arthur w. Yale, NJ. D., in Woman's
Home Companion. 1t is vastly better
for the baby to be undressed and laid
down in the crib, with a cool, fresh
pillow under the little head, to drop
into a quiet sleep, than to be held in
mothers warm arms, close against her
breast, and rocked for half an hour or
more. With most babies a very little
training will be sufficient to induce
them to sleep when laid down if they
have never become accustomed to the
rocking. If you are not Spartan enough
to leave the baby while he is vigorous
ly protesting aginst this procedure sit
by the crib and gently pat him asleep
After awhile even this will not be nee
essary. 1t is not only better for the
child, but also for the mother, as the
rocking habit, if persisted in, soon be-
comes tax rather than pleasure.

MAMMOTH PIGEON-RANCH,
Where Ten Thousand of the Birds Are
Housed and Cared For in South
ern California.

Situated at the sharp angle where
the Arroyo Seco, or dry ditch "a
ravine that extends from Los An
geles to the Sierra Madre mountains
some IA miles away, and the Los
Angeles river (at this point IS miles
from the sea- meet, is one of the
most curious exhibits of pigeon life
ever presented to the eye. Here 1O,-
600 pigeons, mostly light in color,
are found perched upon the roofs
of eight frame sheds. The walls of
these sheds are composed of hun
dreds of empty gasoline cans, with
one of the ends taken out and wood
en- boards with apertures large
enough for pigeons substituted, and
thousands of wooden fruit boxes fur
nlshed with square openings. The
ground is generally covered with
pigeons until a stranger arrives,
when there is great whirring noise,
the air is full of wings and thou
sands of pigeons return to their
brethren on the roofs of the sheds,
says Parsons.
This institution belongs to one of
Los Angeles enterprising citizens
and forms a great attraction to Wis
itors from all the country round, as
well as to numerous colored thieves,
who make a continual practice of
robbing this vast aggregation of
pigeon roosts. Two large dogs prop
erly qualified to bark and bite are
located at each end of the grounds,
about 200 feet from each other.
These are secured safely by long
chains to spikes in the ground.
But these, fierce as they are, do
not represent the entire force for
the defense from thieves of the TO-
