OIL. MAPS ARE FAKES
Many Sold That Do Not Show Real
Producing Territories.

Lawrence, kan, March 4.-"On
maps that are inaccurate and unde-
pendable are being sold in Kansas,
says Prof. Raymond C. Moore of the
University of Kansas, who is state
geoiogist and who issues a warning
against the placing of dependency in
unauthorized anG unscientific maps.
Two of these maps have come to
my notice recently" said Doctor
Moore. Zone of them represents the
Kansas oil territory extending from
Chautauqua and Cowley counties
northeasterfy to Nebraska. 1t in
cludes much of the oil country, and
much that isn't oil country and it
omits much that is proved oil terri
tory. In the western part of the state,
the map outlines big irregular
stretch of country that it calls oil
country There is not the slightest
geologic foundation for calling that
area oil territory, yet this map does
that very thing and instead of indi-
eating the area near Hamilton county
as a possible source of oil, as it is,
it says nothing at all about it as oil
territory. AS an indication how far
incorrect this map is, it purports to
outline the salt deposits, yet it omits
from this salt outline Lyons and Ellis
worth, whore the biggest salt mines OF
the state are, and other places in salt
ountry, such as Nikerson, Kanapolis
and Sterling.
Another inaccurate map that is be-
ing solG makes errors of a similar
nature. AS an indication of how de-
pendable it is. junction City appears

GERARD TO KANSAS
Former Ambassador to Germany Will

Gerard, former American ambassado dor
to Germany, who was in Berlin up to
the time that the United States en-
tered the war, will deliver the COM
nencement address at the University

Gerard handled all of the diplo-

bassador for this country. He also
was the accredited inspector of Ger

treatment of the Hun prisoners. His
story, MY Four Years in Germany,
treating with the dealings of the kali
ser and the imperial German court, is
one of the most widely read books
published in this country.
The subject of his talk here has
not been announced, but it is believed
that he will take as his subject meth
