New York, July 27.-Young Russell
Griswold, prominent socially i'm New

through his lawyer, Jacob Gordon,
heart balm TO the amount of $4,000
from the elderly and rich Helen Wood

The romance involved in this breach

east as have few similar cases. Ac-
cording to his statement, Griswold
alleges that their romance began nine
years ago, when he was president
of the senior class of the Stamford

There is reason to believe that one
of the largest oil fields in the world is
on the verge of development in the
British West Indian island of Trinidad
and the neighboring mainland, COM
ments the Evening Wisconsin.
The determination of the British
government to use oil for fuel on its
naval vessels has stimulated expert
mental researches and led to reorgan-
ization of existing operating concerns
on a grander scale. AS an instance
of the latter effect of the expected
huge increase in the demand for oil, il
may be noted that the Canadian COM
pany's $4,000 acre oil property in the
southwestern section Of Trinidad has
been taken over by a $1,5OO,OOO COM
pany, fioated in London. A dozen
wells ranging in depth from 500 to L.
400 feet have been bored with satisfac-
tory results, except that the flow of
some of them is too strong to be read
lily checked pending the provision of
facilities for exporting the product An
American company, operating at Pitch
Lake, has a number of wells and large
storage capacity yet thousands of gall
Ions of crude oil. from its recent bor-
ings have run into the sea because
the company's "a, o00- gallon steel tank
and extensive land reservoirs were
completely full.
To add to the interest, a company
located near the city of San Fernando
has discovered not only oil but also
coal of excellent quality samples of
which have been sent to England for
expert, tests.
The worlds oil situation at the
present time compares very favorably
with the doleful calculations which
were made not very long ago to prove
that in a few years the resources of
the Pennsylvania fields would be ex-
hausted and then there would be prac-
tically no more mineral oil.

The fly as menace to human life

necessity for screens is very much
less than in this country.
The housekeeper in village and

problem than the city dweller. who
has a garbage man and a fine sewage
system TO aid her efforts. 1t behooves
her, therefore. to be doubly cautious
in the disposal Of all refuse that may
help to breed the pest.
Disinfectants should be part of her

The English sparrows have tempt
ed fate too far. Ever since an Eng
fish railroad contractor brought the
first pair TO this country couple OF
generations ago, on ccount of their in
sectivorous propensities, they have
been steadily making enemies. From
thetip of their impudent beak to the
toss of their insolent tail they have as
sumed an attitude of defiance. For
them the highway was a dust bath,
the gutter their natatorium. They have
multiplied and increased until they
have overrun the continent. Perhaps
they may have had, originally, a GER
tain fondness for insects, but the rec
ord goes to show that i'm recent years
they have spent their time chasing
away the song birds. until now the
robin and the bluebird are. in certain
sections, practically extinct.

at least have the satisfaction of know
ing that nothing short Of an organized
movement was necessary for his ex-

has taken the initiative in such
movement. He is a lover of birds
and therefore hates the English SPAR
row. That Is 10 say. he wants 20 pro-

called upon the world at large to join
in the crusade against the street gam
