Recent estimates of production ~

lGctaucc that this statement ~ made
for the reason that II sccms at tins
time To hc of the utmost importance
that there be enough oil produced 10
supply the wants of the government
and the allies as we'll and yet there
can be no good reason for cNaggcrat-

The facts are the new fields in
Butler county, kan, including Eldoi
ado and Augusta, are only producing
about 1OS,O0O barrels. and the entire
state of Kansas total OF 121,000 bar
rels. The Gushing field Is producing
500 barrels and Oklahoma outside
Of Gushing. l23,OOO barrels. Head
ton is coming strong with 10000 bar

barrels.
It has been thot that the Billings,
Yale. Blackwell, and CARRIER fields
were keeping production even and that
Butler county Kan, was holding mp

The main thing is to produce oil. II
is far more important that oil enough
be brought to the surface of the

served or that big crops Of wheat be

JIMMIE BROUGHT UP PUSSY
Marooned on Rock, Boy Effected .
Rescue That Was Both Novel
and Brave.

As Mayor Amos Radcliffe of Pat
erson, N. j., was crossing the West
street bridge he heard shout from
group of youngsters. They had
discovered a cat marooned on rock
just under the arch of the bridge.
The mayor stopped and the boys dis
cussed methods of rescue.
Irvine and a peach basket were
obtained. The basket was lowered
to the rock, with shouted invitations
for kitty to take the. elevator. But
kitty did not trust strange boys. A
long pole was obtained, and the lads
tried to force a rescue by pushing
kitty into their ife-net.
They succeeded in pushing her in
to the rim. It was then that Jimmie
came to the front. He got a rope
and, tying it about his waist, ordered
the other boys to lower him to the
rock. While Jimmie was swinging
helplessly in circles, with his head
below his heels, the cat regained the
rock. There was still hope. AS the
squirming Jimmie was lowered close
to her, the cat leaped upward and
landed ON the seat of Jimmie's
trousers, into which she sank her
claws.
The crowd yelled again and the
boys on the bridge hauled in their
line. Jimmie and kitty were landed
safely on the bridge.

FORCED TO CALL A HALT
Swiss Postal Authorities Found Them
selves Swamped by Correspondents
of Prisoners Of War.

The Berner Bund of November n
announces that the Swiss postal au-
thorities have fixed the number OF
letters or packages that may be sent
abroad free at ten month for each
prisoner, and that no picture post
cards will be sent without the regu-
lar postage being paid. No restric-
ton is placed upon the number OF
letters and cards that the prisoners
may receive from abroad, OF may e1-
change among themselves within the
borders of the republic.
In explaining the reasons for this
limitation, the Swiss newspapers
point out that as result of the Swiss
governments liberality in handling
mail free, letter writing and the
sending of picture postcards had be-
come almost mania among the IN
termed men, and that some of them
had sent out as many as Is or 20 let
tiers and so postcards in single day.
The official report of the Swiss
post Office shows that during the
month of October the average num-
Der of letters and cards forwarded by
Switzerland for prisoners in the vari-
Gus belligerent countries was 327,-
sol, while the daily average for pack
ages was 1862, and for money or
ders $500. Since the beginning of
the war the Swiss post office has for
warded 1S1, 778,440 letters and cards
to prisoners of war, as well as 81
270,795 packages and 5,532,617
money orders, to the value of $751;
39755O. By fast freight and the
mails Switzerland has forwarded 81
199,031 shipments of food supplies
to French, British and Russian pris-
oners held in Germany, with total
weight of 6,133 tons.

EFFECT OF PASSPORT REGULA.
TONS.

One of the effects of the enforce
ment by the United States of more
stringent passport regulations, is
that there are no further extradition
cases of Americans from England.
During many years before the war
there were a substantial number of
such cases, so many that dealing
with them constituted an important
division of the work of officials at the
embassy. So well have the new regu-
lations governing the issuing of
passports served the cause of justice

EXPECT TO CONTROL GROWTH
Discovery Made by University of Call.
fornia Professor May Mean Much
to Human Race.

Announcement has been made at
the University of California that DR..
T. B. R. Robertson, professor of bio
chemistry, has succeeded in extract
ing from the anterior lobe of the
pituitary gland substance which he
calls tethelin. This extract is said
to have marked control on the growth
of animal bodies.
Doctor Robertson said that his ex-
periments covered q period of four
years and added:
'Tt is too early to attempt to calcu-
late the Importance of the discovery.
Many experiments have been con-
Quoted upon animals, and while
there are indications that the human
body may respond in the same way to
the same experiments, that has not
been determined.
cat certain stages in the develop
ment OF animal life the addition OF
tethelin to the tissue will stimulate
growth and at other stages will have
no effect whatever. An increase in
height for the human body neces-
sarily would require bone growth,
which ability to accelerate may not
be existent in tethelin.
''The effect of the substance upon
cancer is well established at this
time. The experiments will be con-
tinued, and further developments
may be expected, as the isolation Of
the substance will render it easily OBJ
tainable by the scientists of the
world"

MAY DO AWAY WITH LIGHTS
Possible That Some Time in the Future
Ships Will Get Theirs From
the Wireless.

The French government is about
to establish system of what mari
ners call blind lighthouses. This
revolution in maritime signaling
consists in the use of Hertzian waves,
and it is believed it will prove of far
more lasting value than lights, since
it is equally effective in fogy
weather, when the usual lights can
not be seen. Indeed, some experts
look forward to the gradual extinc-
ton of coast lights and expect that
ships will soon get their bearings
from the ticking of wireless re-
