PETROLEUM ON EAST

It has been known for some time
that petroleum exists in many parts Of
even the high Andes mountains, al
though in but a very few cases up to
the present. has the output been so
abundant as to encourage commercial
study of its possibilities. Recent in
vestigations, details of which have only
within the last few days been sent to
the Pan-American Union, have, however,
given a new turn to the problem, and
it is not beyond reason to hope that
paying oil will be mentioned. with gold.

wealth of this immense region.
According to a report now in the
hands of Director General Barrett OF
the Fan-American Union, the Espejos
(mirror) spring, about thirty-six miles
from Santa Cruz, in Bolivia. Is a fair
sample Of the character and Kind Of
petroleum surface manifestations found
in the region extending from the north

to the Madra de Dios river. This river
Is close TO the southern BOUNDARY Of

River. to form the Madeira river.
The Espejos spring yields petroleum

prospect that gushers may be found hy

yet no shafts have been sunk in this

no further because of the inaccessbility

400 CITIES TO HAVE
MOVIES IN CHURCHES

NEW YORK, June 1s-Now churches
are going to be supplied with a regular
change of bill weekly-movie-film serv-
ice.
A number Of educators and workers
in the religious and social service field
have completed plans for this moving
picture film service for the use Of
churches all over the country.
Beginning in october 100 churches in
400 cities of the United States will be
supplied with 4 high class weekly five
film motion picture entertainment DR..
Charles Stelzle, social efficiency en-
gineer and former head of the Labor
Temple, will be the managing director
of the company which is now being in
corporated.
Later the company expects to pro-
Ounce Its own films. At the present
time, however, II has a photographer
in Palestine taking motion pictures.
Another man Is securing Europe for
the best educational. films, while a
for photoplays suitable for production
in churches. Humorous pictures will
be shown, and big dramatic feature
films also will be included in the serv-
ice.
The plan is to have sixty centers,"
said Dr. Stelzle, with a moving picture
operator for each center. This operator
can give one moving picture show in
one church in one city each night. In
that way he can cover seven cities a
week He carries his moving picture
machine with him from place to place.
We shall he able to give a weekly photo
play entertainment in church at a
charge of $50 a night. BY charging 10
cents admission an audience of 200 per-
sons would Just pay expenses. 4 larger
audience would give profit II the
church Some churches, of course,
would prefer to take up collection. In
that case probably most persons would
contribute a dime, anyway"
