outside observation last Friday
afternoon during their usual recita-
j on period.
The first place visited was the
woods back of the school grounds,
where the class inspected the rock.
and observed the effects of the
elements upon it. The members
Of the class decided that this
region has been passed over by a
glacier in some remote period OF
time, and that the shattered pieces
Of rock have been caused by frost.
After examining the rock around
the school grounds, the General
Science class then explored the
hillside to the north. The students
ex amined the layers of rock in a
Tsul all canyon, noticing the effects
Of weathering and erosion.
The members of the class were
cry enthusiastic over the trip, and
reported it to be just as interesting
as it was instructive

LOCAL MOVIES
ATTRACT CROWD

chas. H. Kinsman. who is starring in
the Romance of Augusta" was seen in
the first performance Saturday afternoon
at the City park, which attracted a large
crowd. Mr.. Kinsman really surprised Di-
rector Sidney Buck by his wonderful per-
Torrance before the camera. He is TAX

full finished picture which is contemplated
to be the best yet. and it is the intention
Of the director to make the Romance Of
Augusta" a prize winner. and Of all re-
ports we learn that the balance Of the
cast will live up to the standard.
The first scene was taken in the park
Of Mr.. kinsman sitting on the bench en-
joying the cool breeze and finally dozes
off into a snooze and dreams of the ro-
nance. The second scene taken was
shown several youngsters playing in the
park where our hero is asleep. The young
boys see him and play a Joke on him by
setting his newspaper on fire and the di-
rector had hard time &C 1t trying to get
our hero awake, there being so much
noise 1t was Impossible for Mr.. Kinsman
to hear anything, which resulted in Mr..
Kinsman burning himself, which added
lots Of action to the picture.

THE cADDo OIL AND GAS FIELD
Great Petroleum Field Of che Gulf
Coastal Plain. =

Natural gas has been known near
Shreveport, La. for more than Is
years, but oil was discovered here only
was drilled in what is now known as
the Caddo oil and gas field. This field
is chiefly in Caddo Parish, in the north
west corner of Louisiana, but extends
westward short distance into Marion
and Harrison counties, Tex. In 1906 the
production of the field was only 3,35S
barrels. which Is less than the reported
initial daily production Of some of the
more recent wells. From this time the
output increased until 1919, when the
maximum yearly production Of 9,e2s.E7
barrels was made. Including the pro
duction Of 1914, the Caddo field has
Welded over IS, 000, 900 barrels 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 &C.
ologist George c. Matson, recently pub
lished by the United States Geological
Survey as Bulletin 619, shows that in
this field oil and gas are found in three
different formations and that oil has
been found sporadically in fourth. All
the productive beds are in the Upper
Cretaceous series. The shallow Naca-
toch sand is a widespread gas-bearing
sand and yields heavy oil in the north
eastern part of the field; the Woodbine,
the deepest productive sand. furnishes
the high-grade oil Of the Caddo field
and in many places contains sufficient
gas to cause strong 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 anticlines and
synclines extending in a northeasterly
direction and crossed approximately at
right angles by northwesterly Tod.
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 to be satur-
ated, so that no extensive dry sands
are encountered, and the distribution OF
the Oil and gas Is in accordance with
the geological structure. Oil is present
in some Of the shallow synclines as
we'll as in the anticlines. The anti.
clinal theory of oil and gas accunula-
ton is we'll illustrated locally in the
northeastern part Of the field, on what
is called the Vivian anticline.
