ARE D00LEY TWINS
so ALIKE THEY POOL THEIR
OWN sEThEARTs
Romance of Each Began When They
Switched" in Mixing Calls
on Two CHS.

ST. Louis. Mo- Joe and Will
Dooley, well known ins business
circles of this city. are T. yearold
twins. They look so mucE1afike that
even lynx-eyed book agents can't tell
them apart. The complications that
are constantly arising because of their
remarkable similarity in looks are
frequently laughable and soon develop
into stories to be hoated about town.
A good one is still told about the
twins and a negro elevator man.
Several years ago one Of the twins
worked in the office of the Union
Electric Light and Power Company.
One day he came down the elevator
and ehatted with the negro elevator
man. The negro babe him good by
and saw him go out the door. ALMOST
at the same time the other twin, WHO
had called at the office for his brother
but missed him, walked down the
stairs near the elevator.
Il done seen double" cried the
negro, running out OF the building.
According TO tradition, he never came
back to his elevator job.
Before they formed a partnership
one of the twins was working for an
insurance agent in the Pierce Build
ing. Returning from lunch one day
he met his boss" on the street. Going
up to him he said.
"How is my brother getting along
in your Officer" "Splendidly." replied
the boss. He is one Of the best ems
ployes have and he is going to make
good. I'm glad to see you are so deep
ly interested in his progress, Mr..
Dooley."
The deceptive twin hurried back to
the Office and was at his desk when
the boss" returned
Il met your brother on the street."
lsaid the boss" lie is a fine young
man"
The likeness OF the brothers en-
abled them TO economic in one di
rcction. One would go to photo
grapher and have his picture made.
He would order dozen and give six
OF them to his friends. The other
brother would Eke them and dis
tribute them as likenesses of himself.
No one could tell the difference. When
one brother was too busy to keep a
hitting engagement with his tailor
he would send the other.
Tho is was planned not to make
the announcement just yet, II has be-
come known that the Dooley twins
are engaged. Joe is to wed Miss
Edmee Anheuser of 1881 Russell ave-
nue., and Will is betrothed to Miss
Cornelia Howe of Webster Groves.
IN social circles the Dooley twins
have been noted for their accomplish
ments as dancers, but have been a
constant source of confusion to their
dancing partners. A girl might know
that she had danced with one Of the
Dooley twins. but she could never be
sure which one.
About year and half ago. accord
ing to one of their close friends, Joe
was to make an evening call on Miss
Howe and Will was to visit Miss An
beuser In a spirit of fun they
switched Joe went to the An
heuser home and was greeted by Miss
Anheuser as WILL At the Howe
residence Will was received as Zoe"
Neither young woman discovered the
deception and they could hardly be.

them later, when they found them

The brothers, however, never made

Chance for Every American.

In no time in the worlds history
has the word Democracy been more
significant than it is today. and now
comes the definition of what the
term means to Americans, by
Franklin X. Lane. Secretary of the
Interior. We quote from an article
in Everybody's:
Democracy essentially means
that a man shall be given his
chance-first, his chance to get an
education; second. his chance to
prove himself in making himself by
character and by ability economi-
cally independent. Our competitive
system between individuals must
continue if the race is to improve.
We must make clear that in democ-
racy men do not fall down to a COM
mon level. but constantly rise by
only having to prove that they are
better in character and ability than
others; We must make clear that in
democracy there can be no interfer-
ing sovereignty or race or caste or
aristocracy, that no wall shall be
put up which a man can not scale
or overcome by character and abil-
ity, and also make clear that de-
mocracy does not mean the aboli-
tion of all social lines. because those
are based largely upon common
tests, artistic, for instance. or So
cial.'

Mining Oil from Sand Reefs.

The urgent appeal of the govern
ment for greater production of pe-
troleum to meet the demanls OF war
has stimulated activity in all oil fields
OF the country. says o. ]. Grimes in
the Popular Mechanics Magazine But
probably in no other district have
such unusual methods been employed
to gain production as in the Uintah
BASIN which is situated partly in
Utah and partly in Colorado. Here
oil production was sought by driving
tunnels instead of wells. and this re-
gion can boast of two oil mines.
The West is especially fortunate in
the matter of oil sands. Besides sew
eral big deposits in the Uintah basin
probably the largest deposit of satu-
rated oil sands on the continent, IL not
in the world, which has been brought
to the surface by nature. has been
discovered in the San Rafael coun-
try, in Southeastern Utah. The great
oil-sand reefs are exposed there for
many miles, but as yet very little has
been done to develop this resource be-
cause of its isolation from the outside
world. The region where the sands
are situated is approximately lbs miles
from a railroad, by the roads now In
use, and Is reached only by crossing
desert. However, interest in the
proposition has been aroused recently:
new highways are being constructed
water wells put down along the high
ways, and plans are being formulated
Tor active development of the oil-sand
deposits.
