When states. like Illinois, are pro-

mosphere and unusually low clouds re-
iected the lights of the city and blast
furnaces in towns along the Schuylkill
river. Prof. Eric DOollttle, in charge
of the Flower observatory OF the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, gave similar
explanation.

make the work easier for feminine
fingers. The hat factories, for instance,
have substituted aluminium shapes for
the much heavier zinc shapes used by
men before the war"
Who that knows German efficiency
and foresight before the war can doubt
the almost superhuman efforts that ma
ton is making to be ready for the new
war of commerce when peace shall have
been declared on the field of battle?
And it is not only newly organized and
newly energized peoples-backed by all
sorts of government aids and subsidies
that the commerce of the United
States will be called on to face.
Already the entente allies have
signed a trade treaty which binds
them together in a great league for
mutual commercial conservation and
conquest. There is danger in this
league, not only to the foreign trade
of the United States but even, con-
ceivably, to the peace of the country.
A similar band is said to have been
signed among the central powers and
their allies.
Once the war is over the world will
be far different place. In the coming
struggle for foreign trade the most
bitter competition of former days will
appear mild and gentle.

Routes and construction materials of
the new roads are to be finally deter
mined by the Secretary of Agriculture.
No public road can be built until its loca-
ton, cost and character are approved
by him. Every road project with plans,
specifications and cost estimates must
be given his approval before any of the
federal money shall be available. There
is no specific requirement that such
roads shall be permanent, but the act
declares they shall be substantial in
character, the Secretary being given
discretion to construe the question Of
question of substantiabilitY in each
separate case.
A limit $40, 900 per mile, however, is
the maximum fixed by the law to pre-
vent use of the government funds in
building costly boulevards which would
not assist in rural development.
Whether the new roads built under
the law shall be main-traveled trunk
lines, connecting interstate highways,
or merely small sections scattered
throughout the states is also left to the
discretion of the Secretary of Agricul-
ture, Construction Of both is expected
AT the proposed conference of state
highway representatives here, 1t is be-
lieved that proposals for comprehen-
sive, correlative road building scheme
will be reached. The American High
way Association, the American Auto
mobile Association and other good roads
organizations are interested in such CO.
ordination and correlation of the public
roads throughout the entire nation. De-
velopment of the national road scheme
and aim of government officials, with
the aid of state authorities.
The machinery for cooperative ac-
ton Is substantially as follows; States
desiring to secure their share of the
federal funds will, through their high
way commissions or departments, file
formal applications, submitting tie
route and character of roads proposed
to the Secretary of Agriculture. Should
he approve the projects, the Secretary
of Agriculture will notify the state COM
missions and the Secretary Of the
Treasury. The latter will then set
aside the share of the United States,
which shall not exceed fifty per cent
of the cost. The Secretary of Agri-
culture will order payment of the
federal funds upon completion OF the
roads, and is also authorized to make
partial payments as construction pro-
ceeds
The construction work and labor in
each state is to be done in accordance
with state laws and under immediate
supervision of the state highway de-
partment. subject to inspection and ap-
prevail by governmentSngineers. This
leaves the state in control of the con-
struction, subject only to insure good
designs.
Selection of road routes, as well as
their type and structural composition,
is also left primarily to the state of.

Mr.. Gompers declared that insofar as

had outlined, it demanded the interest

THE cADDo OIL AND GAS FIELD.
Great Petroleum Field of the Gulf Coast
al Plain.

! Natural gas has been known near
Shreveport, La, for more than 25 years
but oil was discovered here only in 1904
when the first successful well was drilled
in what is now known as the Caddo oil
and gas field. This field is chiefly in
Caddo Parish, in the northwest corner
short distance into Marion and Harrison
counties, Tex. In 1906 the production
of the field was only 1855 barrels, which
is less than the reported initial daily pro-
duction of some OF the more recent wells
From this time the output increased I'M
til 1918, when the maximum yearly pro-
tluction OF 9,62s,l77 barrels was made. In
Guiding the production of 1914, the Cad
do field has yielded over 3s3,0O0,000 bar
rels of oil and a large but unknown
amount OF gas, Although this field may
have reached its maximum production. it
will not be exhausted for many years.
The result of an investigation by Geol-
ogist George c. Matson. recently pub
lished by the United States geological
survey as bulletin 6l9. shows that in this
field oil and gas are found in three
different formations and that oil has been
found sporsdically in fourth. All the
productive beds are in the upper Creta
ceous series. The shallow Nacatoch sand
is widespread gas bearing sand and
Yields heavy oil in the northeastern part
of the field; the Woodbine, the deepest.
productive sand, furnishes the high.grsde
oil OF the Caddo field and in many places
contains sufficient gas to cause flows
when the wells are first drilled.
The structure of the field, as shown
by contour maps in the survey report,
consists of a series OF anticilines and syn
clines extending in a northeasterly direc-
ton and crossed approximately at right
angles by a northwesterly fold. The axes
Of the folds as outlined on the two key
beds do not agree in position. a condition
which is explained by the way in which
the beds were folded. In this field the
rocks appear 20 be saturated, so that no
extensive dry sands are encountered, and
The distribution Of the oil and gas is in
accordance with the geologic structure.
Dill is present in some of the shallow /
,ynclines as well as in the anticlines. The |
lnticlinal theory of oil and gas accumu !
alton is well illustrated locally in the !
part of the field, on what is
allied the Vivian anticline.
