Favorable for Validating.


The discovery in recent years OF
oil ana gas fields, such as the Pc
trola, Electra, and Burkburnett pools
in Texas, and less than six months
ago of the Healdton pool, in Okla
homa, has aroused great interest
in the southwestern part of Okla
homa and north central Texas. In
view of the fact that other oil
pools of equal Importance will un-
doubtedly be found in intervening
areas, the United States Geological
Survey is doing geologic work in
advance of drilling with the purpose
of helping locate areas favorable
for "willcatting" The results of
this work will be looked for with
unusual interest by the general pub
lie. The first work of this kind
was done late in 1912 in the area
known as the Grandfeld district, in
the southwestern part of Cotton
counties. Oklahoma, just north of the
Rurhburnett oil and gas field Of
Texas The field work for this in
yest(yation was done by NJ. j.
Mum, cf the United states Geo!ogi-
cal Survey. The geology was stud
led and the structure OF the rocks
was determined by obtaining spirit
level elevations on set of rock
strata called the Aucur couglomer-
ate Iontu The results of this work

sorts of weather than by providing
them with an adequate place to play
and to romp in. The nursery that is

of it will always stand mothers

be provided with a tall fire screen that
little hands cannot topple over.

paint the ceiling and woodwork cream
Run a picture molding or rail around
floor and above it paste Mother Goose
pictures. Dutch kiddies and silhouettes

use sash curtains, as little people like
to gaze out at snow and rain and in
teresting things in the street or yard
window box filled with nasturtiums
or geraniums will add to the bright
ness of the room and the children
should be encouraged to care for the
plants. A canary In its cage in one
window will be valued companion in

The furniture should include a low
table and two or three low. strong

ioned seat with hinged lid in which
books and toys may be kept, and q

the foreman of the jury only died with

ninety. The Emperor Francis Joseph

curious if that curse brought death
