complete somersault from the top rim

other car driven by Jack Randall,
shot beneath the machine whirling
in midair and continued on around
the track in safety. Cook was found
unconscious beneath the wreckage

Only Needless Waste Causes Fear
Of Exhaustion Of Gas.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
New Orleans.-The Louisiana Con.
, serEation Commission is determined
+ to stop the tremendous waste Of gas
! and oil in the Cadd0 fields, near
shreveport. The matter was brought
forcibly TO the attention Of the COM
mission at its meeting last week by
. Hon. NJ. l.. Alexander, president, who
had just returned from an inspection
OF north Louisiana forest and mineral
wealth, paying particular attention to
the CaddO fields.
His report was such that stirred
the entire commission to a realization
or the enormous waste of the states
resources, and one that is greatly in
terterng with investment of foreign
capital in the territory, the fear being
expressed by investors that with such
exhaustion constantly going on the
future supply of the field is endan-
gered.
1t is known" declared the commits
sion as a body, that capital that de-
slres TO invest in north Louisiana and
TO establish manufacturing industries
OF various kinds here are deferred
from doing so through fear of the
natural gas and oil fields becoming
exhausted through careless waste of
these valuable commercial assets. The
commission proposes to use its utmost
authority in correcting this needless
and useless waste"
A thorough investigation of the
Caddo fields will be made by the en-.
tire commission Immediately, and
prompt steps will be taken to stop
this drain upon the states natural
resources, and which should be worth
large revenue to the treasury. It
is understood that the commission
has secured legal advice as to its
rights and powers in the premises
and will act judiciously.
