That courts instead of prisons be
made instruments for the reforma-
ton of criminals.
That incorrigibles be sent TO pris-

ton"
The report estimates that there
are 100000 prostitutes in the Unit
ed States and that far greater
number are unchaste. Contributing
factors in this condition are the

ture and ignorance. The remedy
suggested is the enlightened train

MEX|A GAS FIELD
Development Of Natural Fuel VIII Be
a Blessing to All Central
Texas.

Mexia, Tex, Feb. 12.-There has
been developed in this section one OF
the most remarkable gas fields in
many respects to be found in the coun.
try. With shallow wells and low rock
| pressure, no cap rock and no recog-
nized gas-bearing sands, there has
been developed a total present pro-
duction in 81 wells in the district
amounting to O2,OOO,OOO feet a day.
, The proven territory is more than II
miles long, running from northwest
to southeast, and is from one-half to
two and one.half miles in width. The
field has not been defined, and devel-
opment work is being continued with
the idea that a field of much greater
extent will be developed, and also
with the idea that perhaps an oil
stratum or deeper gas-producing sands
may be found.
Gas in the present field is found at
an average of 700 feet deep in sands
averaging 35 feet. Above the sands
shale is found, but in no case has a
we'll defined cap rock been encounter
ed. The rock pressure is uniform at
276 pounds. The gas is remarkably
rich in heat units, proving up 1850

gas of West Virginia and Pennsyl-
ut to oh Int

any odor. 1t seems to have paraffin

experts. who were sent into the field
by the Texas Light G. Power Company
previous to contracting for the use
of the gas at the Waco plant of this
company The development has prac.
tically been carried on entirely by 10.
cal men and capital.
Operations were begun July 2, 1912,
and 10 dry holes were put down be.
fore any gas was struck. In the
eleventh well producer was obtained
in April, 1913. For long time there
was only one rig in the field and at
the present time only FIVE, so that de-
velopment has been necessarily some
what slow. From now on it is ex-
pected that there will be more activi-
ty. By some of the companies it is
proposed to put in deep wells. with
the idea that perhaps the Woodbine
sands, which are struck at 1900 feet
in the Caddo field, may be found some
where less than 5000 feet deep in
this section. The Producers Oil Com
pany and the Guffey people and others
have leases on property. manifestly
with the idea that perhaps oil wells
will be brought in, and, in case there
should be a strike of oil there will
undoubtedly be vastly greater in
terest taken in the field by outside
parties than is possible in the develop.
ment Of purely a gas field.
The Mexia Oil & Gas Company was
in the field and has been the largest
developer They have much the
largest acreage of any company in the
field, and could put down $50 wells
on their own tract at a distance OF
not closer than $50 feet apart This |

them a contract has been let with T.
