ABOUT OIL. SANDS

It has been demonstrated that many
Of the Oklahoma oil sands dip toward
The west at the uniform rate OF 30
feet 10 the mile. Any marked change
from this figure Is thought to be due

Of the rocks. The Zip to the south

good sand has been found near Bliss
at / ,975 feet and the indications point
to he same sand being encountered
in the Meridian well at 2,330 feet If
this is true. the south dip would be
about 8 feet
It may prove OF genral interest 10

To ROUND UP CLENISONITES.
Homecoming Week Being Arranged
for Next Summer.

Clemson College, March AT
tempts to mobilize at Clemson Col
lege an army Of scientifically trained
men, many hundreds strong, will be
, made this summer. In fact, Presi-
dent w. NJ. Riggs has already begun
to make plans for rounding up as
large a proportion Of the 5000 for
mer students as he can. or these g.
900 men who have attended Clemson
College since the founding of that in
stitution, about l 1,000-936 to be eX-
act-hold diplomas certifying to their
completion Of full courses. The oC-
casion of the "round up" this sum-
mer will be Homecoming we2k, the
first ever to be held at Clemson Col
lege, and one that DR.. Riggs desires
to make one Of the largest ever held
by any Southern college.
The dates Of homecoming week
have not been definitely determined
but the week will probably be one in
the latter part Of summer, perhaps
about the middle Of August. Details
of the program will soon be worked
out and announced. Meantime, eff
forts will be devoted largely to ap-
prising Clemson men in all parts of
the country Of the occasion. To-
wards this end President Riggs is
having prepared a roll Of all the men
who have ever attended the college,
and this in itself will be a feature of
much independent interest. Regular
alumni registers have been printed
from time to time, but they contained
the names Of those only who were
graduated. The roll that is now be-
ing prepared will bear the names of
all the men, nearly 5000 in number,
who have ever attended the college,
with the exception Of the present un-
dergraduateS.
OF the 936 men whom Clemson Col
lege has graduated, a majority is to
be found in South Carolina, where
many Of them are holding positions
of large influence and responsibility.
At the same time, some Of them are
living in every section Of this coun-
try, and more than 4 few are holding
prominent positions outside of the
United States. These men are work
ing in SO States. the District of Co
1umbia, Cuba, Canal Zone, the Ha-
waiiaS, Philippine Islands, Germany
and British East Africa.
It is believed that a week spent
once again on the campus by the old
Clemson men will do more than any
thing else to replenish in them the
fires of loyalty to their alma mater.
Though no direct steps have yet been
taken in the Homecoming week ar
rangements, there are indications
that the idea will be warmly well
coined by all the alumni, and that
there will be a ready response when
the invitations are sent out.

Tries to Kill Entire Family.

Norcross, Ga, March 3.-R. l..
Martin, about 33 years of age, for
merly a railway mail clerk, shortly
before 10 o'clock this morning shot
and seriously wounded his mother
in-law, Mrs. G.. A. Mckinney, with a
22-calibre pistol, and, it is said, at
tempted to shoot his wife and three
small children. He then shot himself
in the forehead, stabbed himself in
the breast and slashed his throat with
razor.
Physicians say Martin can live only
few hours. Mrs. Mckinney. who
was wounded in the neck, will re-
cover, doctors say.
Martin was in a wreck on the Sou
thern railway in 1912 and has been
in nervous condition since. 1t Is
thought that his i'll health drove him
into a sudden frenzy, which resulted
in the shooting.
The shooting occurred at the Nc
Kinney home, where both families
lived. 1t is said that Mrs. Mckinney
was shot when she attempted to pre-
vent Martin from shooting his wife.
None of the children nor Mrs. Martin
was injured
On account Of Martins critical
condition the police have taken no
action
