SEEKING OIL AND GAS LANDS
Uncle Sam Has Biologists at Work on
Investigations for the Benefit of
the Public.

Uncle Sam now has corps of
trained geologists working throughout
this country to obtain information that
will assist in developing the oil and
gas resources, but their work, unlike
that of the geologists in the employ of
oil and gas companies, is done for the
benefit of the country as n whole, and
the landowner as well as the oil man
can make use of the information it OBJ
tains.
1t is now generally conceded that the
work of locating places where oil and
gas are likely to be found by drilling
is task for painstaking and scientific
geology. Although geologists do not
brag that they can positively deter
mine whether oil and gas can be found
In any special region, they cau locate
the geologic structures-the rock
arches and domes-which have a great
influence on the accumulation of oil
and gas. For this reason most of the
large oil companies are now employ
ing geoIoelsts 10 guide them in leasing
ana in 'u'pting exploratory wells.

National Forests, Water Power.

In the fiscal year 1916, says Henry
S. Graves, chief of the forest service, in
his annual report, 20 new water power
projects which utilize national forest
land began operation. This was an in
crease of 1914 per cent in the total
number. In the fiscal year 1915 the
number of new projects which began
operation was IL. Forty-two per cent
Of the total developed water power of
he United States utilize national for
est land, the forest service figures
show.

STAGES into DISCARD
Automobiles Replace Horses in
Yellowstone Park.
Uncle Sam Decides That Picturesque
Vehicles Must Give Way to More
Modern transportation.

The old slow-going, picturesque
horse-drawn stages have passed for
ever from the Yellowstone National
park. They will be supplanted by
comfortable, ten-passenger automo-
biles, which will run the visitor rap
idly through the long stretches of
lodge-pole forests that intervene be-
tween the spots of special interest.
The hurried visitor may then spend n
minimum of time in travel and have
more time ut the geysers, the lake
and the canyon. The leisurely visitor
may linger us he pleases at the points
which command his special interest.
But one may, If he chooses, hire a
horSe-drawn surrey.
The passing of the horse is one Of
the result of an entire reorganization
made by Uncle Sam of the living and
transportation facilities of Yellowstone.
BY agreement of the concessioners,
three new companies will supplant the
half-dozen or more which have existed
heretofore. A new transportation COM
pany has been organized to furnish
motor service for the entire park. The
hotel company will also reorganize on
a broader basis, and the camps will
combine on n basis which, with new
equipment and increased facilities, will
give the public greatly bettered serv-
ice.
The passing of the horse-drawn
stages has enabled the interior depart
ment to so simplify the schedules that
the private motorist will have as much
freedom in the park, within reasonable
regulations for the public safety, as
upon the common highways without.
With these sweeping constructive
changes the department believes that
the Yellowstone National park will en-
ter upon n period of extraordinary pub
lie usefulness and comfort.

WEALTH is SCATTERED
Change Shown by Location of
Biggest National Banks.
Distributed Through % States,
Uncle Sam Reports.

That the wealth of the country is
being distributed more widely and not
concentrated in few of the larger
cities as it was a few years ago is in
dicated by statement of Uncle Sam
regarding the location of the hundred
largest national banks of the country.
Officials of the treasury department
attribute this change largely to the
operation of the new federal reserve
system.
Formerly the one hundred largest
national banks in the United States
were congested principally in COM
paratively few financial centers. To-
day the big banks are distributed
through % states and in 33 cities, en-
bracing every section of the country.
The 100 national banks with the
largest resources as shown by recent
call, all have resources in excess of
$20,000000, with one exception, the ex-
ception being one of the Chicago banks.
Oklahoma, Alabama, Louisiana, Vir-
ginia, Washington, New Jersey and
Oregon each contain one of the 100
largest banks.
Texas, Nebraska, Maryland, Michi-
gan, Indiana and Wisconsin each con-
tain two of these banks.
Colorado has three.
Ohio, Minnesota and Massachusetts
each have five.
California and Illinois have seven
each.
Missouri has eight.
Pennsylvania has 1G.
New York has 25.
In two months the resources of the
100 largest banks increased S550,000,-
600, or nearly 8 per cent.
Outside of the central reserve cities
the large banks which showed in
creases of as much as $5,0O0,000 each
in deposits in this period were those
located in Dallas, New Orleans, Buff
falo, Kansas City, Philadelphia, San
Francisco, Cleveland, Pittsburgh and
Boston.
Among the 100 largest banks were
only five which did not show an in
crease. Three of these banks showing
reductions were located in New York
and two in California. The largest re-
duction shown by any one of these five
banks was less than $2,250000.
The largest percentage of increase
was shown by bank in Texas, whicAi
increased over 33 per cent, or over
$6,000,O00.

Australians Like Cities.

Uncle SANS consul general at Sgd
ney is struck by the unusually large
urban population in Australia. Sgd
ney, with population of 100000, rep
resents over 10 per cent of the people
of New South Wales; Perth, with a
population of 10000, represents 3S
per cent of the inhabitants of western
Australia Brisbane, with 100000, rep
resents nearly "a per cent of the people
of Queensland; Hobart, with 10000,
has under 20 per cent of the people of
Tasmania Melbourne, with a popula-
ton of 6S4,O00. contains 4S per cent of
the total population of Victoria; and
Adelaide, with 205. 900, has over 40 per
sent of the people Of South Australia.

Danish Worry and Live
Longer, Says Uncle Sam

The public health service,
which has been gathered statis-
tics on nervous diseases and
their tendency to shorten life,
has issued a bulletin against
worrying.
$50 far as is KNOWN" says the
bulletin, mo bird ever tried to
build more nests than its neigh
bor; no fox ever fretted because
he had only one hole in which
to hide; no squirrel ever died of
anxiety lest he should not lay
by enough nuts for two winters
instead of for one; and no dog
ever lost any sleep over the fact
that he did not have enough
bones laid aside for his declin-
ing years"

African Natives Crying
for More Wrist Watches

There is great suffering in
British East Africa and Uganda,
wherever that is, as a result of
scarcity of wrist watches. Ac-
cording to Uncle Sans consul at
Mombasa, the natives are crying
for wrist watches and the Indian
J traders who minister to their
wants can't get enough to supply
J the demand.
The natives insist that the
watches be bright and shining
with leather bands and holders.
The traders, Uncle Sans repre-
sentative reports, are very desir-
Gus of establishing connections
with American manufacturers of
wrist watches as the war has cut
them off from their usual
sources of supply.

AIR units OUTLINED
Uncle Sam Decides on Equip
ment for Each Squadron.
Vast Amount of Supplies Needed to
Keep Twelve AirpIanes in Active
Operation In Field.


completed the first standardized
schedule of equipment for alrplane
units ever adopted by the United
States army. By adoption of the
schedule airplane units will be as com
pletely standardized as are regiments,
battalions and companies of infantry,
which has never been done before.
Each airplane squadron will have
the following equipment:
Twelve airplanes.
Twenty-three motortrucks, including
a tank truck for fuel.
One seven-passenger automobile.
Seven motorcycles.
Twelve portable canvas hangars.t
Two portable machine shops with
stock material and equipment.
Ten spare airmOtors.
Full assortment of spare parts for
airplanes, motortrucks, automobiles,
and motorcycles.
Fuel and Oil sufficient to last six
months.
Full Photographic, signal and other
equipment.
Twelve machine guns and ammuni-
ton.
Twelve rifles and ammunition.
Twelve shotguns and ammunition.
Twelve revolvers and ammunition.
The mechanical equipment of each
squadron, exclusive of the ordnance
and quartermaster's supplies, will cost
approximately $465,000.
The statistics were compiled after
observations were made of squadron
in actual practice on war footing on
the Mexican border.
While the list furnishes an outline of
the equipment necessary for an aero
base for each squadron, it is intended
that the personnel for the operation of
this base shall not be drawn from the
squadron. 1t is intended that the
skilled mechanics shall be provided
through the mobilization from CONNER
cial factories in time of war of re-
serve of men highly trained in the par
ticular branches required.
On the basis of the regular army
list, National Guard air units must be
equipped. Before state airplane COM
pany or squadron can be accepted as a
part of the federalized National Guard,
it must be able to produce for inspec-
ton the full equipment specified, and
the expense of assembling and caring
for the material is so great that it is
regarded as unlikely that many states
will desire to develop this particular
branch of the military service, al
though congress has provided for IL
air squadrons, one to operate with
each of the II National Guard divi-
sions.
Plans are being perfected by the
war department by which National
Guardsmen who wish to enter the avi-
alton service will be educated by the
government. When a sufficient num-
ber of members of the Guard in any
locality have complied with the neces-
sary preliminaries and passed the pre-
scribed examination, an airplane COM
pany of squadron equipment will be
supplied, complete in every detail, by
the federal government, which will also
bear the expense of maintenance. The
unit will then be regarded as a reserve
of the regular army, subject to the
call Of the president only.
The tactical organization of the
aerial service, as at present projected,
makes the airplane company, the mate
rial and personnel for the operation Of
one airplane, the unit. Twelve of these
companies form a squadron; three
squadrons = seventy-two companies
and airplanes form brigade.

Clothing Output Large.

Approximately half billion dollars
worth of mems and boys clothing is
manufactured in the. United States

lie, show the total value of the output
in 1914 was S45S, S,210,9S5. There were
4,S30 establishments engaged in the in
dustry during that year. giving employ
ment to 200,S09 persons.
