rived from the distilla6on of
the vast deposits Of so-called
hydrocsrb0n shales of the
Green river formation of north
western Colorado and north
eastern Utah, the U. S. Geolo-
gical Survey has for three years
been making field Investigate
onS of these deposits. The ex-
aminations have been accom-
panied by mapping of the
areas of hydrocarbon shales
and by such field measure
mentS of the thickness of the
shaleS in workable beds and
such rude field distillatiOn tests
as will afford primary infor-
nation concerning the amount
and richesS of the shales in
different parts of the region.
Very rough but cautious cal
culahons of the contents of the
shale in parts of the area ex-
amined indicate that the distli-
lation of shale from beds over
8 feet thick in Colorado alone
will yield more than 100000
600 barrels of crude oil, from
which more than 2,000,00O,000
barrels of gasoline can be ex-
tracted by ordinary methods,
A report giving the results of
these explorations and tests
and an account Of experiments
as to possible gasoline produc-
ton, both by the ordinary COM
mercial processes and by the
Rittman process, is now in
press.

BY MANIPULATION

N N many respects change
in the premiership in Eng
land is equivalent to a
change in the presidency in
America. The prime minister
IS the real executive of the en-
pire, the king being king in
name only.
But when Asquith retired as
premier and the honor fell to
Lloyd George it was not by
election, but by the manipula-
ton OF q few men, Lloyd
George and several other men,
hers Of the coalition cabinet
threatened to resign unless As
quiih retired. The prime min
iateT's position was such that
he had to quit.
Asguith's forced resignation
may nave been warranted or it
may have been rank injustice.
II nszy have been due to a tory
pi0t or it may have been the
work of men having the high
est interests of Britain at heart
and knowing well what the sit
uation called for.
But what of a system that al
lows a few men to hold such
power within their hands?
Think Of the possibilities in
vOlved in such control; of the
manipulation and chicanery in
vited by such an arrangement.
IF during the critical time in
cur affairs several members of
the presidents cabinet had
threatened to resign unless the
president did so and allow them
TO name his successor the ac-
0On would have been similar to
what has transpired in Eng
land. Needless to say it is q
line Of action our people would
not tolerate.

BUSINESS ON SUNDAY CLOSING.


 Heads of the big industrial con- cerns of Chicago see very direct re lotion between the enforcement of tue Sunday-closing law and the phys ical and mental condition of their em- ployees on Mondays. and naturally they are not inclined to agree with the iiquCrites' caustic criticism of the pur- itanical. undemocratic law and it's en- iorcement. The men who manage the great industries tell us that Sunday drinking has meant lessened eff ciency, decreased mental and moral stamina, appreciated physical vigor and the wasting of money and conse- quent worry over financial conditions
 Our workmen now come to the plants on Monday morning with clear heads and rested bodies,' said a fore. man of Armour and Co.,, the big pack ing house. Tt was the complaint of all packers before the saloons were closed that many of the men either did not show up at all on Monday or reported with 'hangovers' that re- duced their efficiency 50 per cent dur ing the day, and affected 1t for ssv- eral days thereafter. Now the men are on hand Monday morning with steady muscles. rested bodies and minds. 1t for their tasks"
 "Our workmen were all on hand last Monday for the first time in years seiI one Of the foremen of the Illinois Steel company, the week after the sanday- closing law was enforced. When we asked them what caused the change they said they had noth- ing to do Sunday but rest for Mon. day. Besides, most of them had enough of their wages left not to need to ask for advances before the next week ended"
 The closing of the saloons is q boon to industry" said one of the depart Eent managers of the International Harvester works. "When the em- pioyses have had time to note it's eff. feet, they will give it their heartiest support"
 The direct effect on the building trades is that about 25 per cent more workmen were on hand last Monday than at any time during the period l have been handling large numbers of workmen," said member of the Con tractors Association of Painters anG Decorators.

 Amber, orange. sumac or red top honey or Japanese seeded, and TeXas seeded ribbon are the common varie ties of sweet sorghums grown. Tho amber Is the earliest and does no, make the yield that the others make although if 1t is grown early it may be cut for nay twice during the season The sumac. honey and Texas seeded ribbon are all later maturing and are large yields of forage or silage is wanted Texas seeded ribbon is es- pecially prized for the large amount ot syrup that it produces.
 The method of planting varies with the use to which these sorghums are to be put. For syrup the planting Is done in rows 36 to AZ inches apart, using six to eight pounds of seed to the acre. The worst objection to sorghum for hay is the fact that it is coarse. This difficulty can be ellmi, mated to some extent by seeding thickly or broadcasting about bushel of seed to the acre. Careful tests in Kansas showed that an acre of sor. ghum put up as silage made more
