IS THERE COAL
IN DELAWARE?
BY Clement stOrer Fouser.

At the conference called by the pres
ident which met at Washington the
first half of last month, Mr.. l. c. White,
State geologist of West Virginia. talk
ed at length of the preserving Of the
fuel resources of the country
Nature" ne said, has been most
lavish to this nation in fuel resources.
1--WE find a series Of great coal de-
posits extending in we'll scattered fields
almost from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
and from the Lakes TO the Gulf. while
even over much of New England and
the coastal plains, vast areas of peat.
the primal stage of COAL have been
distributed But coal of every variety
from peat to anthracite is not all of
natures fuel gifts to fortunate America.
Great deposits of both petroleum and
natural gas occur in nearly every state
where coal exists, and ia some that
have no coal"
II is not a far cry to the mountains
of Pennsylvania, of which the hills OF
Delaware are a part, and, therefore. it
would not be unwise TO try some bor-
ings among the rocks and high places

would surely show us the geological
formation and possibly. in a measure,
bring up signs of the carboniferous
age-when vast forests were buried by
glacial action and carbonized-stored

cult and please human kind.
Is there coal in Delaware? Has any
person thought that perhaps petroleum
and natural gas may be found in the
hills. or along the deep worn valleys
Of the watercourses?
A great geologist once said @The ma
tions that have coal and iron will rule
the world" Bountiful nature has dow
cred the American people with a her
itage of both coal and iron richer by
far than that of any other political
division OF the earth.
But these rich mineral possessions
are not worked to their fullest capacity
New ideas must be formulated new
plans devised to stop the rapid waste
of the already developed mines ard

and It is not unlikely-that natural
fuel exists in Delaware it would mean
more than kaolin deposits. or clay for
the making of bricks.
Should fuel-natural combustible--be
found in this locality, care should be
taken to use every plan TO carefully
mine the supply Many abandoned
workings in both the anthracite and
bituminous regions contain immense
stores of coal wasted because Of faulty
engineering and mining with the idea
that the supply was inexhaustible.
1t would not be a crazy idea to tap
the earth to some depth in a neighbor-
hood like Mount Cuba Even if gas
was found it could be piped to VIII

FIRST VISIT TO TIE COUNTRY.
humorous Comment Made By Little
Visitors from the City.

The questions and answers of little
boys and girls upon their first visit to
the country are often truly amusing.
One little boy from the city slums was,
with great difficulty. CcaXed to go. He
said he heard there we're ''thrashing
machines" in the. country, and he
didn't want to go there to be thrashed.
The same little boy, when asked why
the chickens interested bin SO great
Iy, replied, I've only seen them that's
been peeled in the city" Another lit
tie boy once went to the country on
visit. Seeing his aunt pluclSing the
feathers from a chicken that evening,
he asked: "Auntie, do you undress all
the chickens before putting them to
bed?" The cows were favorites with
Lottie, little girl Of eight She begged
to be permitted to milk, and, finding
herself rather unsuccessful, thought
she'd "Dctter begin on a calf first"
Lottie also wanted to know if you had
to buy gum for the COWS to chew on
and whether the milk that came from
a separator was +he same that came
from the COWS. SIZE thought it was so
funny, too, that "all hens ate with
their noses"
