Art L. Walker, chief oil conservation
officer, arrived here last night on his
trip over the state looking after the
proper inspection Of oils and gasoline
and he left this morning to observe
the progress that is being made by the
Gypsy in mudding in its well. The gate
valve which the Gypsy had on hand,
and which was placed over the WELL
was worthless because OF the heavy
pressure. The gate was blown off and
the only manner in which the gas can
be conserved is to MI the hole with a
heavy mud.
Mr.. Walker in discussing gas says
that II can be made worth seventy cents
a thousand, and that every gas we'll
should have the best care that can be
given 1t. After the gasoline has beer
taken from natural gas 1t can be burned
into carbon, which is a useful article OF
commerce and sells for something over
thirty cents a pound, and two pounds
can be made from a thousand feet of
gas. A plant is now being built OF
Blackwell which will cost $4,000 and
will be used TO manufacture carbon,
which is used in the distribution Of elec.

pER soNAL LIBERTY.

What is to become of the funda.
mental doctrine OF personal liberty;
That man may eat and drink what he
pleases? What is to become Of the
theory that the development OF stand
ard and sterling qualities in man can
only be accomplished by stress and
strain and temptation? These are sc"
rious questions that go to the root OF
human progress.
~ The right of the individual to eat
and drink what he pleases and wear
the clothes that he likes is restricted
by the fundamental principle that q
| mans actions shall not threaten evil
| to society at large. If one insists on
Ihting poisoned food and giving 1T to
family, he threatens the existence

Iii the streets naked, he would OF

walker found that woman's clothes

see, d woman does not threaten SO

TO AVOID SKIDDING
There Are Some Drivers Who Ap-
pear to Court Danger.
CORNER TURNED TOO QUICKLY
Best Plan Is to Let Car Coast and
Hold 1t From Getting Into Trouble
by Using Steering Wheel
Use Brake Carefully.

Did you ever have an automoDlle
skid under you? If you never nave
then you have yet to appreciate the
most hopeless feeling in the world
that of the occupants of a skiddlng
car. 1t has to be tried to be apprecl-
.ated. And that is not all; for when
car starts well on to skidding, there is
mo telling where it will bring up OF
what the result of the action is going
to be; and yet there are drivers VINO
appear to court this danger, or else
they are unaware of why cars VIII

Perhaps the greatest cause IS turn

attempt is made to make turn they

the road. Applying the brake VIII
usually overcome this skid.
Let Car Coast.
On the other hand, If the rear
wheels alone are slSidding, let tine

coast and hold it from getting into
trouble by using the steering wheei,

suggests the wisdom Of keeping GU

UnevenIy Adjusted Brakes.
IF the brakes are adjusted unevenl
