Oil Shales Reserved for the Navy.

! In the annual report OF the director of
| the geological survey, department of the
interior. just made public, attention is
called TO the creation of two naval oil
reserves in Colorado and Utah. The sur
vey has been investigating the oil shales
of the United States that give the most
promise of yielding commercial supply
of oil and has explored large areas in
Colorado and Utah that contain i'm
mense deposits of such shales, some of
which carry 30 to 80 gallons of oil to
the ton. This potential resource is es
timated by the survey in terms of bill
lions of barrels of oil. which ii is be
leyed can be economically extracted
from the shales, possibly in competi-
tion with petroleum at present prices. 1t
is therefore of special interest to note
that during the last year two oil-shalc
resources We're created for the use of
the navy, one of ID ,440 acres in Colo
RADIO and one of s6.5S4 acres in Utah.
General classification of oil-shale land
was continued by the survey during the
work covering large areas. Geologic ex-
animation of the oil shale region of the
west has shown that the oil shales in
Utah and Colorado contain enormous
quantities of petroleum. They also con.
tain considerable percentage of nitro
gen. aggregating a vast supply, which
can be recovered as a bv-product in the
refining of the shale and used either a. ,
A fertilizer or in the manufacture of ex.
plosives

Soldier and Sailor Insurance

The insurance offered BY the United

the most just and humane provision even
made by any nation for its soldiers and

denced by the extent which IL has been

BOUGHT CHILEAN NITRATE.
United States Government Has Secured

Washington, ID. C., Jan. david T
Houston, secretary of agriculture, ha.
made the following statement regarding
the purchase of 100000 tons of Chilean
nitrate for fertilizer use by farmers un
der the provision in the food control act
which authorizes the president TO pro
cure nitrate of soda for this purpose and
10 supply il to farmers for cash at cost
Il have been giving a great deal of

the seaboard, and also with the shipping
board. Arrangements We're completed
several weeks ago. through the war in
dustral board under the immediate SUI
pervision of Mr.. Baruch, to purchase APP
proximately 100000 tons of nitrate of
soda in Chile in accordance with the au-
thorization for such purpose in the food
control act. Because of disturbed ship
ping conditions it has been impossible
until recently definitely to secure facil
titles for transporting the nitrate in
whole or in part. Within the last few
DAYS preparations have been completed
for the delivery at the seaboard during
January of $4,000 tons, and every res-
sonable assurance has been given that
supplies, up to the 100000 tons. for the
ensuing months viii be delivered Ey-
cry possible effort will be made to make
certain these deliveries, but it should
be understood that, on account of exist
sng situations, circumstances over which
there is no control might intervene.
II cannot state to-day exactly what
the price will be, but it will be approx
mately S75 on board ears at the sea
board. Farmers will have to pay freight
charges to their local stations, the state
fertilizer tag fee. which varies in differ
ent states but will probably not average
more than - cents ton, and any 9th
er local charges.
The nitrate secured under the appro-
priation will be sold only to farmers for
their own use during the coming sea
son, and generally not in excess of the !
amounts used by them heretofore. The 4,
department Is now arranging machinery /
for the distribution of the material and 1

AIRMEN DREAD
ANTI-AIRCRAF'T
Barrage by the Latter Guns
Is Very Much
Feared
! AS AVIATORS
FLY OVER LINES
Conclusions of the Shells
Make Air Pockets That
Are Dangerous

Somewhere in France, Jan. ,-(Cof
respondence of the Associated Press).-
The anti-airoraft barrage is to-day tn
most dreaded enemy weapon which Tn
airman has to face in his flights owe
the lines. In the midst of a sea of burst
ing shells, the airplane hobs up ant
down like ship in violent storm. In
conclusions which the shells make II
bursting produce swift succession o
air pockets and air bumps, and it is alb
solutely impossible to keep machine
steady through them. Meanwhile there
is the strain of knowing always that Tho
next instant one of the thousands OF fiy'
ing shell splinters may reach a vital spot
in either machine or pilot.
Yet it is not possible to avoid flying
through a barrage at times. The latest
type of anti,aircraft guns can place a
barrage as high as $4,000 feet, and it is
not practical to turn about and try to
climb over the barrage. 1t takes a very
highly specialized scout machine to climb
TO $4,000 feet, and the heavier machines
cannot achieve that altitude under any
circumstances.
The longer the airmen hesitate TO run
the barrage, the longer he is exposed to
tue utts a. INV
front has now reached a point where
the range is calculated to a nicely almost
instantaneously by processes of triangu-
lation and, therefore, the flyer who hes
itates is lost The only thing he can
do is to take his chance, just as a ship
at sea takes storm and accepts its
chances of weatherin the gale
Next to the barrage. the most feared
of the ground defenses is the cluster"
This is group of six anti-aircraft shells,
sent up together, and placed just ahead
of the machine, with one she'll aimed
to burst the tip of the fuselage, two on
each side of it, two on each side just
ahead, and one farther and directly
ahead.
The side-slip is the favorite protection
against these clusters" The anti-air-
craft gunners get their range nowadays
so accurately that the slightest move
out of range is fairly certain to get the
machine out of dangers way-unless
the gInners have anticipated this move,
as they sometimes do, by placing anoth !
er cluster at the most likely spot for an |
expected sideslip.
The side-slip is produced by tipping /
The plane down slightly. and while flying
ahead alithering over sideways. and !
down, thus changing the range without
seeming to do so, for the gunner look
ing up sees as much of the machine as
before and is justified in estimating its
height to be the same. In reality the ma
chine is little to one side and several
hundred feet lower as the result of his
skilful sideslip,
Below a height of 5000 feet anti.air-
craft guns cannot be used to advantage,
but machine guns and rifles provide
equally dangerous enemies. A machine
gun playing a stream of 500 bullets a
minute is no mean foe, even though the
bullets are not explosive
