GAS WASTE IS 100000 10000
Vacuum Pumps In Cushing Permitted
AZ Conservation Measure.

Oklahoma City.-Use Of vacuum
pumps throughout the Cushing oil
field as means Of conserving natural
gas on. and after November will be
permitted, according to the terms Of q
general order issued by the corpora
ton commission.
The use Of the pumps, 1t is expected
will result in conserving for CONNER
cial use thousands Of feet of gas
which is now going to waste. It is
estimated by the commission that
since drilling was first started in the
Cushing field at least $10,000,000
worth Of gas, large portion of which
could have been conserved, has been
wasted.
The gasoline that could be taken
from the gas going to waste daily in
the field would amount to between
$4,000 and $4,000 day, the commits.
TONS information shows.
A number Of plants have been in
stalled in the Cushing field for ex-
tracing gasoline from gas, and the
order Of the commission will require
that after the gasoline has been ex-
tracted by these plants provision
must be made for conserving the gas
for commercial use.

THE ACCEPTANCE SPEECH
AN EDITORIAL APPRAISAL

President Wilson's speech Of
acceptance was comprehensive,
frank and direct.
1t was the utterance of a man
and political party conscious Of
the honesty of past endeavors and
confident of ability to cope with
whatever problems the future might
have in store.
No President has ever been
called upon to face more serious
conditions than has Mr.. Wilson. He
has met them with patience and de-
votion that have won the respect and
admiration of the world.
With domestic legislation to di-
rect, giving the relief from eco
nomic abuses that the country's well
fare demanded, with a long list Of
promises to fulfill, the great war that
burst upon the world threatened to
check him in his efforts and to in
volve the nation in the disasters that
are affecting almost every nation Of
the old world.
How he has brought the country
through it all, with honor and with
astounding prosperity, the accept
ance speech succinctly and modestly
tells.
In three and q half years the coun-
try has been set Alright, every class
protected in its liberties and its OPP
portunities, the whole commercial
system set in order, with prosperity
Astounding. And reason has never
abandoned its throne in all Of the
country's perplexities.
The speech was q message to the
people of all the world; it was q
notice to the world that this country
is big enough to maintain ito honor
and to keep out Of war, and at the
same time big enough to regulate its
domestic conditions.
The speech was no apology, no
defense, no complaint. 1t was q
speech that all men and women
should read to learn what the
country has really been doing.

NEW YORK SEES
FINE FRENCH
PANTOMIME

winthrop Ames has sgnalized his re-
turn to management after more than
years absence by the importation OF a
polished French pantomime. "Pierrot the
ProdlHal" The reviewers praised Its
charming and delicate artinclality to the
sllies-some because they really liked the
sort OF thing. some because they thought
they ought to. and some because they ad-
mired the wonderful pantomimic acting OF
NJ. Paul ClerRit and treasured a dozen
comic and sentimental highhghts set against
an exquisite scenic background
II you are. very, very fond of Louis XIV
drawing rooms. you will "Just adore" this
absolutely iawless BIT OF conventional and
hammered pantomime. There are couple
OF loving parents in white chalk and an old
gown. There is young lady in knicker-
bockers who Is supposed to be a son just
feeling his oats. In their sowing he is assist
ed by n mady red haired village wanton who
lures him away To the great city. While his
parents grieve. he leads a gay life, until
money runs short and lecherous old
nobleman turns up Then mademoisele dis
appears, while poor little PIerrot Is of
stealing gold with marked cards 20 keep
her love Home. then, and forgiving par
cnts. II Is all carried of In the customary
hammered method of Continental pantomime
against a lovely little gray-green cottage
room and marvellous salon of rosy lace.
To some tastes there is just a bit too
mucn OF tt1lS cnarm ana grace IN WnOle
evenings entertainment. just there was
too much wordless vigor for some tastes In
"Sumurun." Half of II as part of a double
might please more people For frankly.
n great deal of the first act bores people
with n desire for vlgor and life and fun.
But even that first act has the unapproach-
ably clever scene OF M. Clergit's old man
reading the newspaper. while the whole
second act is delight. and the plteous
prayer OF the mother at the end Is worth
long journey. And there are some who
find the whole tale rarely and extraordi-
narily entertaining. II Is n personal matter
and Louis XIV Is the tallsman.
But whatever one feels about the length
OF the entertainment, there Is one large and
unmstakable element OF charm besides the
faultless setting And that is the playing.
Each member OF the cast has his trained
perfection, but the acting OF NJ Clerglt as
the father Is beyond words. A dignifed,
yet whimsical personality, TO begin with.
Then n rich sense OF humor and a Gallo
flare for facial and bodily play. When NJ.
Clergit reads aloud" the evening paper by
the smallest bits of pantomime, the crea-
tlon Ia at its highest as n work OF genius
In little known field.
Whether Philadelphia ever sees ''PIerrot
the Prodigal" Is n very large question. IL
behooyes any lover OF acting who happens

ner OF Forty-fifth street and meet NJ cler-
git at the Booth. X. M.
