Days of High Prices.
The southern New York and north
ern Pennsylvania oil field Is on the
qui vive of expectancy because a new
oil boom appears to be looming on its
horizon. Bradford and its surrounding
towns in the heart of the field are al
ready feeling the first touches Of the
boom, which may recall the days when
fortunes were made and lost within
the period of a few days.
The present high price Of oil has
started operators to pumping many
wells that had been considered as dry

oil as to be improbable. Those wells
are nov coupled together to one pump
Ing engine for the sake of economy,
and although each may produce only
two or three gallons a day the aggre-
gate amount obtained is sufficient to
make the operation profit paying. With
crude petroleum at $22 a barrel even
a gallon has considerable money value.
Many new wells are being sunk. 1t
Is said that some of the new strikes,
while not so great as those of the "oil
rush." are well worth while and that
with more modern facilities the amount
obtained may be a considerable factor.

 Not alone have the women abroad taken up cricket, but the more strenu- ous game of lacrosse. Tn many Cana dian cities these sports are also played by the women. While they are fairly prohc1ent, it will take them a long time to come anyway near the pace set by their brothers
 In the United States there are thou sands of women who play competitive golf and tennis, and play it well too For instance, take tennis. There arc few men who can outplay Miss Blur stedt, the national lawn tennis cham pion; Miss Marie Wagner or Miss May Sutton (now Mrs. Thomas Bundy) in the racket game. Each is capable of putting up a strong game. Miss Sut- ton and Miss Bjurstedt have won many journeys and have beaten many men in competition The same applies to Miss Wagner, who has also won a number of matches. All three women have mapped out a strenuous campaign for the coming season. There is no doubt that they will help make lawn tennis history this year.
