RICH, BUT DOESN'T KNOW IT
Sailors Farm in Texas Turns lrtc
Oil Lake While He's
Gone.

Eastland, Tex.-SOmewhere on the
Seven Seas Eli Perkins is by all odds
the richest man in the United States
naval service. knowledge of his big
fortune has not yet come TO him. His
father has been trying TO locate hini,
but what warship he is on has not
been learned.
When Perkins enlisted in the navy
more than two years ago. he owned "a
farm of so acres north Of here. The
soil Is poor and has an intrinsic agri-
cultural value of perhaps $500. When
Perkins entered the navy he left the
farm in charge Of his father, with full
power to act in all matters connected
with it. With the first indications of
an oil boom the elder Perkins leased
the so acres for % cents an acre, re-
tanning for his son the usual one
eighth royalty OF any oil that might
be produced.
When the field began to develop one
half of the One-eighth royalty was
sold for $4,000 cash, which sum was
deposited in q local bank to the credit
of young Perkins. Now the big thing
has happened. The Sinclair Gulf Oil
company, which has a lease on the SO
acres, has brought in the largest well
upon the tract that there is to be
found in any of the central west Tex
as fields. 1t is producing crude petrol
eum at the rate Of 10000 barrels n
day, each barrel valued at 1925. The
present income Of the young man is
about 1900 a day, and with the bring
ing In of other wells upon the farm
it may be increased several times this
sum-. He could easily dispose Of his
royalty rights for 100000.

Thousands of mice which had been
raised for research work were turned
over to the government. The mice
breathe very rapidly and are far more
sensitive to gases than human beings,
so that they were kept in exposed sec

their behavior would indicate the com

Doctor Wood reported that various

mainly due to d~islOcatiOn of classes OF

Death Rate Jumped.
AS cancer is most prevalent in per-
sons over the military age, the proper
ton of deaths from this cause natur-
ally jumped. where the proportion of
men of younger ages was reduced.
In this country, likewise, the records
were found to show that anc was
most prevalent in Vermont and least
SO in Utah and Montana. hut this was
explained as being due to the fact
that a large percentage Of the youth
of Vermont had migrated and that Il
larger proportion Of the population in
the western states was composed Of
newcomers, generally young men and
women.
Among countries, cancer mortality
was greater in Switzerland, and was
highest generally where the highest
civilization was found. Doctor Wood
suppOses this to be due, not to any
connection between cancer and a high
state Of civilization, but to the fact
that cancer is less often diagnosed
and reported rs the cause Of death 10
