Benjamin Franklin remains one or the striking figures of the revolu- tion. He was always a great be- liever in the home. When one thinks how easy it is to possess one through the Home Builders and what a pretty place Las Palmas is to live in and how close to town the new car line brings it, there is little wonder that everybody is buying there.

SUFFRAGETTES KEEPING
LONDON LIVELY

London, March 5.-From this
city of seven million souls, there
arose today one long, loud wall
of Lord, deliver us from the suf-
fragettesw
Mixed with the wall was the
sound of smashing glass, of the
Marseillaise, sung by women,
and of the arguing Violently with
policemen.
All business practically is at a
standstill Every big store win
dow is boarded up. The banks
have special guards outside to
keep the women away. The
houses of parliament, the govern
ment executive building, the gen
eral postofice, and the residences
of government officials all are I'M
der heavy guard.
The entire metropolitan police
force, of over 10000 men, is on
continual duty. Everyone is
kept moving" Any woman sus-
pected of violent intentions is
rushed to Jail to be searched.
And meantime, the women are
out on the rampage. You can tell
a suffragette six block away, be-
cause she always is surrounded
by two orithree policemen, and
is arguing with them.
Other people move on" when
told to. But not the suffragettes.
They stop to argue about it, and
when argument fails, they grab
the policeman giving the order,
by whatever's handy, the same
generally being his whiskers.

Mrs. Whitney leaned nearer
Mildred, naming the players and

Harold Nelson, quarterback;
Willard Gleason, fullback, the
son of Gaynor Gleason, a broker
of New York city, who is quite
popular in New Haven society.
See, they are cheering him as he
comes upon the field! He slipped
away during the summer months,
doing manual labor to keep his
muscular powers ready for the

Mildred's brow had grown
crimson. Would he recognize her
and would he call?
Cheer upon cheer rings out for
Yale. Mildred knows the game
is won. Upon. all sides praise of
the handsome fullback is heard.
His daring, his strength, the for
ward pass he made is upon all
tongues.
A sudden thrill of surprise and
pleasure crossed her. She heard
the well-nown voice, and Will
lard Gleason stood before her.
Mrs. Whitney looked from one
to the other.
"Mildred-Mr. Gleason = are
you friends?"

are" he softly answered.
Mildred gave him a shy, start

know the truth when she had

OIL AND GAS IN OKLAHOMA.
Reported by United States Geological
Survey as Promising Field.

The development of the oil and gas
resources of north-central Oklahoma is
discussed by Robert II. Wood, of the
United States geological survey, in a
short report just issued as bulletin
53l-B. The region considered in the re-
port includes lands formerly within the
Pawnee, Otoe, Ponca, kaw, and Tonka-
wa Indian reservations, comprising about
81 miles from north to south and 60
miles from east to west in Grant, Kay,
Usage, Pawnee, Noble, Garfield, Logan,
Payne, and Lincoln counties. The prin-
cipal towns are Guthrie, Pawnee, Perry,
Ponca, Newkirk, and Blackwell and the
principal railroads are the Atchison, To-
peka & Santa Fe railway, the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas railway, and the st.
Louis & San Francisco railroad.
Comparatively little geologic work
had been attempted in this region until
Mr.. Wood spent portions OF last January
and February in visiting localities where
producing wells and test holes had been
sunk.
Prospects Stated to Be Good.
His conclusions, after considering the
data at hand concerning the region, are
that it includes encouraging possibilities
Of OIL This conclusion is based, in the
first place, on the fact that all the pro-
iuctive sands of the main field to the
east dip under the area at low angle
and the lowest sand at the deepest point
in the western part should not be over
1 200 feet beneath the surface. In the
second place, there are large number |
Of sands throughout the geologic section, |
nearly all of which, from the highest at |
Ponca to the lowest at Cleveland, have |
been productive in some locality OF
,ther, and several sands have been found |
% be productive in the same well. In
he third place, there are in several To-
alities undoubted anticlines, which, in
his region, are extremely favorable to
he accumulation of oil and gas. The
act that a number of dry holes have
'een reported can not condemn even the
region around them, because
cry few of the wells are deep enough
o be thorough tests. Besides, owing to
he variability in thickness and porosity
( the sand and the influences of struct-
re, in developed territory dry holes are
ometimes drilled not far from produc-
RS and even near gushers. Therefore
he prospects for the development of
lumber of pools in this region seem to
c good.

LIGHTNING ROD INDICATED.
Instances Where Unprotected Buildings
Suffered More Than the Rodded.

Suffered More Than the Rodded.
There was time, and that not 10
many years ago, says the Pittsburgh
Chronicle Telegraph, when the lightning
rod agent was familiar figure in every
farming community. This individual
could converse by the hour on the pro-
lection afforded by the rods, pointing
out how they projected far enough into
the air to attract any lightning that
happened TO be in the vicinity, and how
they conducted the thunderbolt TO the
ground without any damage to the
house, barn or other buildings to which
they had been fastened. SO convincing
were the arguments of the agent that
he generally went away with contract
in his pocket, to return few days later
with the rods which, as per contract, he
fastened on the structures designated
for protection.
Thus it came about that the traveller
in rural districts, wherever he turned,
saw the ends OF metal rods pointing
heavenward from the tops OF dwellings,
schoolhouses, and barns, and even from
a church here and there. Meanwhile the
lightning rod agent waxed fat with pros
perity, and laughed the sewing machine
agent to seorn. But there came time,
some years later, when the lightning
rod and its agent fell into disiavor.
Sceptics arose, some of them persons
yersed in the science of the thing and bold
ly declared that the lightning rod at
forded no protection whatever; indeed,
some there were who said that instead
of being a protection it was menace
to the safety of the building to which it
chung. This antagonistic idea spread
through the farming sections, and the
lightning rod agent gradually disappear
ed from the fields of his former activi- |
ties, leaving the sewing machine agent |
and the book agent masters of the situa-
ton.
But now comes another change. The |
lightning rod and its agents have been
And by no less an authority |

It is declared that the rods give build
ngs protection from lightning, and their
use is advocated. This declaration is the
result OF an investigation winch us
iosed that in the last three years only
.hree buildings in Missouri equipped
With lightning rods were damaged. Rec
,rds in other states show an insignif-
ant amount of damage from lightning
o rodded houses. In Iowa, where fig
lres We're gathered, only about one eoun-
y in ten reported any damage to houses
quipped with rods, while nine out of
en- of the counties reported yearly dam
ge to the unrodded houses. The total
oss from lightning to unrodded houses
n two years was $4,000 and the loss
n rodded houses was only $500. The
loss on rodded houses in /!
ase rods gave no protection should have
cen one-fourth or $4,000. Thus, the
ulletin says, the rods reduce the danger
