MANY BABIES SM0THERED
England Finds Booze Often the Cause
of Mothers Carelcssncss.

England continues its strenuous ef-
forts to lower infant mortality. In Its
investigation OF the causes and pre-
vention OF the death of babies 1t has
been found that the loss OF death
from neutrality-suspicious. rolling over
on babies while asleep and smother
ing them-has some correspondence
with the number of convictions Tor
drunkenness among women.
1T is to be feared that 1t is hardly
possible to avoid the conclusion that IA
very large proportion OF the cases OF
everything are due to excessive drink
ing, If not drunkenness. on the part or
mothers" a committees report reads.
1T is satisfactory to note. however.
Il continues, that in both cases. ow-
ing to improved liquor control. nota-
BILE decrease has been recorded since
1918, the figures in each case being
40 per cent below those OF the pre-
vious year
In 1918 there were 1,226 babies
killed by everything and 35,765 con-
yictions of women for being drunk; /;
In 1914. 1923 deaths and 1871 CON
victims; in 1915, 1921 deaths ana
33,211 convictions. and in 1916, f4f
deaths and 21,245 convictions.
But" the committee says, this Is
not enough. Infant life is so precious
that it's destruction from such cause
as drunkenness cannot be tolerated.

Another Surprise.

The Monitor Oil & Gas Co. test in
1-17-7 has developed real surprise
inasmuch as II was condemned by the
biologists before starting, and is max
ing 100000 feet of gas at 1880 feet.
The sand is so feet in depth, which is
evidence aplenty that there is likely
to be a new extension of the Gushing
pool uncovered when the wells drill
ing across the range line to the east
are completed. All of this section
has been neglected because people
naturally move west in wildcatting
rather than toward the east and now
that the little extension to the north
east has proven a paying proposition,
II emphasizes the old saying that you
can never tell where the Cushing pool
Is going to bust loose" 1t was out
lined" when the first dozen wells were
completed and has been outlined" u
dozen times since then by the wise
ones
1t is a remarkable fact that right
adjoining the Gushing field there are
great areas of territory that have
never been tested. There is plenty of
room for an extension toward the
southeast and the chances are that
there will be many wells completed
between the Gushing field and the
Pawnee county field which will well
repay the owners.
The oil is needed these days. There
Is no danger of surplus, and with all
the added marketing facilities and re-
fineries a small edition of the famous
Gushing pool would be welcome.
Homer Preston, who is at the head
OF the Monitor and allied concerns,
returned yesterday from Pennsylvania
and New York and will be in Okla
homa for few days. 1t was welcome
news that greeted him upon his ar
rival.

ing of oil at 1,765 and is shut down
for casing and will be drilled in about
Wednesday. This well has frequently
been mentioned in this column as a
likely looking gamble, as it is north
and east of the Great Southern well
in 2-26-S and is located on fine struc-
ture and has a creek running north
and south by the rig. A lucky COM

Jack shannon In Town.


Jack Shannon arrived in Tulsa yes
terday from his home in Indianapolis
and has been putting in his vacation
in New York and Indiana, and is OF
the opinion that without government
Intervention the oil market for mid
continent crude ought to take another
advance or two in the near future.
Mr. Shannon says that on account of
the high cost of material the profits
in drilling for oil are no greater now
than when oil was selling at 81 a bar
rel, and points to fact hardly men
toned, but an important one at that,
namely, that desirable acreage Is
much higher now than ever before in
the history of the mid-continent field.
He says that the stock market is not
likely to show much improvement un-
til the brokers of Wall street are back
on the job after the summer vaca-
tions Mr.. Shannon has had as much
experience as anybody here in the
various fields and is Of the opinion
that Oklahoma has hardly been
scratched and will produce lot OF
oil yet.

BIG CIRCUS
ANNOUNCED
Carl BagenbeCk- Wallace Shows
Are To Exhibit Here
Som

The billboards and dead walls about
the city are announcing in all the ell
oquence of pictorial art that the Carl
Hagenbeck- Wallace Circus is to visit
Hopkinsville, Wednesday Oct. II.
Great interest attaches to the event,
particularly so because the circus is
the only tented exhibition Offering an
array of trained wild animals. The
name Carl Hagenbeck for nearly a
century has stood at the top in the an.
nails of wild animals. Every zoo of
any importance in the world receives
its charges from the Carl Hagenbeck
headquarters, as well as the fact that
the menageries of all circuSes are sim.
ilarly supplied.
So much interest did the Carl Ha-
genbeck trained wild animals cause at
the st. Louis Worlds Fair in 1904
that the owners of the Great Wallace
Circus entered into negotiations with
Mr.. Hagenbeck. The result was that
both great Institutions were united
