MORE VACATION
| FOR POLICEMEN
THIS SUMMER
Cops Below Rank of Captain
Benefited by New Order
y of Commissioner.

The most popular move that any
Police Commissioner has made in q
long time was unexpectedly sprung
on the department by Commission
order lengthening the vacation per-
tiod Of all police officers below the
rank of Captain. When the order
~s read in the station houses broad
gs1ns ulumined tho faces Of the po-
iiesmen and the Commissioner was
unanimously Endorsed.
The order goes into effect on May
n when the vacation season begins.
patrolmen who have been getting a
tsn.day vacation will have fourteen
days OF with pay; sergeants whose
vacation has been limited to twelve
days win get fifteen days. and lieu
tenants will get sixteen days instead
Of fifteen. The vacation Of captains
and inspectors will remain fixed at
twenty days.
Commissioner Woods. in giving out
the order. said he could see no rea-
son why police officers were not en-
titled to as lengthy vacations as
other city employees. Members Of the
Fire Department and other depart
ments are allowed fourteen days or
moro each year.
The. change in the vacation system
will make no difference in the efii-
cheney of the police force.

SAYS LEGISLATION
ON BUSINESS ENDED
PRESIDENT TELLS CONGRESS
PLANS FOR SHORT SESSION
NOW ON.

Our program of legislation
with regard to the regulation of
business is now virtually COM
plete. 1t has been put forth, as
we intended, as a whole and
leaves no conjecture as to what
is 70 follow. The road at last
lies clear and firm before busi-
ness. 1t is a road which it can
travel without fear or embar-
rassment. It is the road to un-
grudged, unclouded success. In
it every honest man, who be-
ieves that the public interest is
part of his own interest, may
walk with perfect confidence"
These words, spoken at the outset,
formed the outstanding feature of
the message delivered personally by
President Wilson to the short ses-
sion of congress last Tuesday, taken
by many to be direct message to
the business interests of the country
and to mean that business may pro-
ceed secure in the knowledge that, II
it shapes it's affairs to existing laws,
it will not find itself confronted by
sudden changes results from new
laws.
The message was considerably
longer than the presidents usual adj
dresses. In 1t he urged principally:
Features Of His Message.
Establishment of q governments
owned merchant marine to provide
means OF distributing this nations
products to other countries, the gov.
ernment to withdraw when private
capital found the venture profitable
and attractive.
Passage Of bill granting greater
self-government to PHILIPPINES.
Appropriations to chart country's
coasts, particularly those Of Alaska.
Legislation to unlock mineral
wealth Of West and waterpower' o.
East outside public domain.
Approval Of senate Of convention
for safety at sea.
Systematic reorganization and 70
assembling Of government depart
ments, to promote greater efficiency
and to effect considerable economy.
He expressed regret that It had not
been possible to frame proper rural
credit legislation for the considerar
ten Of this congress.
Discusses National Defense.
In discussing this nations prepar-
sdness for war. the president was
quite emphatic. Admitting freely
that this country cannot put into the
field "a nation Of men trained 70
arms" and adding that 1t would never
be able to do SO in times Of peace.
$50 long as we retain our present
political principles and institutions. :
he urged the development and
siren gthening OF the national guard
and closed his discussion Of this fear
ture Of his message with the state
ment:
"Let there be no misconcepti0n.
The country has been misinformed.
We have not been negligent of ma
tional defense. We are not unmind-
full Of the great responsibility resting
upon us. We shall learn and profit
by the lesson Of every experience and
every new circumstance; and what II
needed will be adequately DONE"

OIL IS STRUCK IN
QUARRY At TEN|NO
! SECOND "STRIKE' BY SMALL
| DRILL TAKEN AS PROOF
OF FIELD.

Oil has been discovered in a Sec
nd well in the Olympia-Tenino field.
diamond drill exploring on the
property of the Hercules sandstone
quarry has brought in oil, and while
the bit is only down to a depth of
$40 feet the oil showing is unusually
heavy. 1t is a high grade paraffine
base oil, almost identical with that
ound in the Crescent we'll. This
strike" is taken as absolutely proof
that the Crescent we'll was not salt
ed
The discovery at the quarry was
made last Saturday afternoon when
the muck sluice of the diamond drill
forced oil to the surface. Since that
time as depth is gained the oil is
showing stronger. 1t is live oil, COM
ing to the surface bubbling full Of
gas resembling a heavy foam.
The find was made on No. quarry
just outside of Tenino on the Tacoma
Tenino road. The drill is operating
on top of the high sandstone blur OF
the prairie. The drill brings up a
core of slightly over an inch In dia-
meter and leaves bore of about an
inch and a half. 1t is this bore that
the oil is going through.
Proves Location Of Anticline.
The location ,of the well is on q
direct line with the Crescent well and
Grand Mound. proving to the geolo-
gists that the anticline Of the district
strikes northeast and southwest. The
rock dips slightly along the anticline
strike, with a slight pitch to the
northwest. The dip and pitch are
both very slight. The core of the
diamond drill shows perfectly the
istrat.fication Of the sedimentary
ocks. their dip and thickness Of
each. This log will prove to be Of
immense value to the oil drilling com
lpanies in the field.
The new find is controlled by the
Paraffine Oil company Of Tenino. 9
recently incorporated close corpora
ion, with William McAl thur. presi
dent; s. w. Fenton. vice president
nd H. p. Sheel secretary.
The drill was started severa
months ago by Mr.. Scheel and hi'
associates in an effort to prove Tho
existence of oil in the field. Wher
the Crescent company started active
Operations. however. the diamond
was stopped, Mr.. Scheel declaring
that there appeared to be no reason
why more than one company shoult
risk money in the early exploration
of the field. When the Crescent wei
was proved to hold oil, the Schee
people started their diamond drill
working to obtain log Of that sec
tion. They have proved the existence
Of the oil.
To Start Drilling.
The company will immediatel!
start a standard rig working in th'
field on the prairie below the sand
stone bluff. This drill will be uset
in an effort to bring in producing
we'll. The company will drill a Is
inch hole.
The Paraf1ine Oil company has al
ready several thousand acres of lant
under lease. These leases are all il
what are though to be oil-producint
sections.
The sandstone quarry is full o
cracks and assures, through which oi
seepages have been found since th'
setting off of the "big blast" twt
years ago, when several million fee
of stone were disturbed. The OF

HARDENING Soft Fats.

Catalysis, which is chemical proc
ess in which certain substances pro
woke or accelerate chemical reactions
by their mere presence and without
themselves undergoing any percepti-
BILE change, is finding constantly in
creasing use in various industries
and has recently been applied in the
manufacture of soap, stearin and vari'
Gus edible fats. IL makes possible the
change of soft, liquid fats or oils into
hard fats with a high melting point
Thus an oil of the consistency of ordi-
nary cotton-seed oil can, by catalysis,
be converted into firm, semi-solid fat
with many of the properties of lard
Incidentally catalysis, as used in this
class of work, destroys all coloring
matter and odoriferous substances,
making further publication unneces-
sary. This process consists of intro
ducing hydrogen into the soft fats in
the process of nickel or palladium,
either in a pulverized form or in aque-
Gus suspension. as the satalytic agent
During the process the fat is heated
and in some cases a slight pressure Is
used.-Popular Mechanics.
