INVESTIGATING LOSSES
IN OIL WELL PUMPING

The bureau Of oil conservation at
oklahoma City is undertaking a
special investigation OF the amount
OF oil lost due to shut-dOwns in oil
well pumping in the Mid-continent
fields, for the purpose of seeking
ways and means OF reducing this
loss The attention OF the bureau
was first directed to this matter by
figures compiled on few wells In
Kansas showing immense losses OF
this nature. Although OF course no
wells can be pumped continuously
without occasional shut-downs for
cleaning and repairs, II has been
asccrtained in Kansas that several
causes Of shut-downs have been
eliminated or reduced in the case OF
some electrically operated wells,
The bureau is therefore planning to
look into the question OF ELECTRIC
drive In this respect, and also with
the view os determining whether
this form OF power shows any saw
ing in oil consumed for fuel.
The work began last week, on the
plan of obtaining the active assis-

ALABAMA LAUNCHES
PROHIBITION fight
Opponents Rely on Old States
Rights Doctrine.

Huntsville, Ala, May 2T.-The
opening gun in the fight for and
against the adoption by Alabama
of the Federal Constitutional Pro-
hibition amendment was fired here
today in a debate between James
Weatherly, of Birmingham, rep
resenting the Anti-Saloon League.
and Oscar s. Lewis, represent
ing the forces opposed to the
ratification of the amendment,
Alabama Is for prohibition. Ever
since saloons were relegated from
the State the issue has been fought
over again and again and in prac-
tically every instance the prohi-
bitionists won.
The present campaign has many
side issues tending to confuse the
voter. None of the candidates on
the ticket opposed to the constitu-
tional amendment will openly say
they favor the return of saloons to
Alabama. Rather. they explain they
are as good prohibitionists as any
body, but they believe in the old
theory of State rights.
In both the amendist and the an
ti?amendist camps it is pretty we'll
understood that should the Federal
amendment be defeated in Alabama
the next move by the anti-amend-
lists will be straight-out anti-pro-
hibition fght-a campaign waged in
the hope of throwing the State omen
to the liquor traffic.
