PETROLEUM AND GASOLINE
Uncle Sans Geological Survey Have
Made Special Effort to Develop
New Oil Reserves.

The far-reaching Importance to
Uncle Sam Of an adequate supply Of
petroleum and gasoline has long been
recognized by the United States geo.
logical survey, which during the last
two years has made greater efforts
than ever before to assist in discover
ing and developing new oil re-
serves.
Brief accounts of the work accom-
plished, with titles Of reports publish
ed or in preparation this year, de-
scribing the structure and oil pros
poets in many new and undevelOped
areas, especially gin the Western
states, in the Southwest, and in the
mid-coptinent region, will be found in
the record of the geological work car
ried on in the several states.
Even with all the funds which, with
justice to other mineral interests,
could be devoted to Investigations of
oil and gas, it has not been found pos
sible to extend these researches at all
in proportion to the increase in public
demand for information both as to old
and to new fields.
A recent editorial in the Standard
Oil Bulletin states: "Time was when
oil operators were strongly inclined to
give little or no heed to the opinions
of biologists, but that time is past"
The value of the studies of geologic
structure in the search for oil is not
only thus recognized by the great oil
companies but most Of these corpora
tions are now recruiting corps of ge.
ologists, if they had not already had
trained biologists in their employ.
Naturally, the information thus ac-
quired by these corporations for their
guidance in leasing lands and in locat-
ing exploratory drill holes is not avail
able to the public-a fact which makes
more pressing the need of the land
owner and of the small independent
driller for all the information which
the federal or state surveys can give

BOY SWAPS HIS DADS SHIRT
Accepts Proposition Of Wild West
Show Employee and Gets Inside
the "Big Top"

Monta Jessep is the robust son OF
Orin Jessep, president of the Orin Jes-
sep Land company of Upton, and he
is a true American lad, says the In
dlanapOlis News. He knows when
circus comes to town, and like all other
boys, he will find way to see the
show. That was why he did not miss
a Wild West exhibition that played
Upton recently. The lad had been
pondering over how he was to get Inv
side the "big top" and he was not
greatly encouraged until big, black
man-one Of the many sons of Ham
with the show-apprOache him. n
"Say, sonny, how big's your dad?"
asked the stranger.
Hes whopper," promptly replied
the yOungster, thinking perhaps the
cOlored man might have some notion
Of ordering him roughly from the
ground.
"If you all IL give me one of your
dads shirts I'll take you in all the
shows"
The lad scurried away and soon de-
livered one of Mr.. Jessep's best shirts
to the cOlOred man, who was as good
as his word and took the lad through
every tented attraction on the grounds.
Later on the young American had 1t
forcibly impressed on him that he could
have gone to the show several times
for what the shirt cost.

MAY REFUGE SERVICE
War Problem Of Transportation
Receiving Attention.
Industries Must Have First Call on
Cars for Handling Shipments and
Raw Materials.

New and pressing problems have
confronted those who are responsible
for the commerce Of the country since
the beginning Of the war. European
experience at the outbreak Of the war
illustrated the absolute necessity for
keeping Uncle Sans railroad service
in a condition as near to that OF nor
nal times as was possible.
Thanks to this lesson, to the work
Of the railroad committee Of the coun-
ell of National Defense and the reali-
zation Of Its supreme importance, the
railroads have been able to large ex-
tent to meet unusual problems of
transportation and to avoid serious
blOckades.
Skilled railroad men formed one OF
the first units to be sent to France,
and the American engineering COM
mission is now In Russia. The OperHt-
ing efficiency of the railroads must be
maintained for a successful mGbiliZa-
ton, but there will have to be Il thor
Ough econOmizing on rolling stock.
While passenger service itself should
be kept commensurate with the needs
of the travelling public, 1t is the belief
of those railroad men who are work
Ing hand in hand with government Of
f1cials at this time that some of the
luxuries of travel, such as parlor,
chair, observation and loungi1g cars,
will have to be cut down.
All special excursion trains and To-
cal accommodation trains poorly pat
rOnized may have to be reduced for
the duration of the war. The authOri-
ties controlling transportation have
an important function to perform In
fixing the priority Of freight. War in
dustries must have the first call on
cars for shipment and for transport
ing raw material Industry will feel
the pressure of war and much criti-
cism and many hardships are bound
to occur With limited rolling stock
business as usual in all branches is
scarcely possible.
The interstate commerce commission
has created division Of car service
to deal with the movement, distribu-
tion, exchange, interchange and re-
turn of freight cars. Complaints and
communications regarding car service
received by the commission is handled
through the new division.
The carriers have appointed local
car service committees at % points
throughout the country, and similar
committees of shippers have been ap-
pointed at the same points, the aim
being to secure harmony and co-opera-
tiOn between shippers and carriers.

cool. The prospect Of starting out In

two men. Sitting there at his ease. the
chief ran over the points Of the out

finished. "You have never had choice,

unanswerable.
"where could I goi know in all

So 1t was settled.
That was an eventful evening, with
EllnOr, mlsty-eyed, moving into her fa-
theirs chair at the table, and the band
swearing the simple oath of allegiance
which held them together. And when
they had moved from the dining room,
Walter Hun, following EllnOr out onto
the terrace, told her he loved her.
The starlight above, and those near
er stars that outlined the streets be-
low, threw a soft radiance over her.
She was dressed In white; old Hilary

symbols like that seem to mean so
much to them," said Elinor, and fell
silent.
In the warm silence, HUFF felt for
and found her hand.
"All this time, when I couldn't see
you," he said unsteadily, i've been
thinking Of you here alone, and in
trouble. Sometimes thought couldn't
stand 1t, that I'd have to come out and
see you, If only for FIVE minutes"
II have always been more or less
lonely. Sometimes think II had been
sent away to school, had known other
girls, it would have been better. I
have never had any friends-except
you, and the others"
Huff released her hand and faced
her.
"I don't want to be your friend, Eli
nor. l want to be much more"
She was rather shocked at first. She
stood, looking up at him, her lips
slightly parted.
"I? YOu-you-want-"
II love you. I want you to marry
me, dear"
There was no doubt of the boys SIN
cerity. 1t rang true. He stood with
his arms out, and after a moment she
went into them. Except for the father
who was gone, this was the first love
that had come into her life. She took
1t hungrily. In the starlight she held
up her lips like child for his kiss. 80.

Elinor lived alone after the funeral.
Henriette, who had now a chance to
practice her favorite vice of thrift, was
for sending away the other servants.
II can manage" she said. For all
you eat"
But Ellnor protested.
Il shall want to keep up the Satur-
day dinners. Let things stay as they
are for time"
1t had been old Hilary's custom to
have such members of the band as
were available dine with him of Sat-
urday.
Henrietts raised her hands.
"Thlngs are changed" she cried.
"You are alone here now. To have
those four men"
THAT is better than having one
man, Henriette."
So Elinor had her way. The Satur-
day dinners were resumed early in
September, Boroday coming with In
finite caution from his cheap boarding
house in the South side, Talbot and
Lethbridge from the bachelor apart

Huff was late.

Boroday swore through his beard.
''Then why did you come here% he
demanded. Young Huff laughed,
glanced at Elinor, and back impudent-

"YOu know why came" he said, in
high good humor. "But was careful.
