The government estimates that there
are fully $4,000 men in this country
who are unable to work at full ca
pacity because of wounds or disease
contracted In the line of duty who
should be receiving this treatment. So
far only about 1000 men have applied
for such service.
A statement issued from the ma
tional headquarters of the Red Cross
In Washington shows that great mis-
apprehension exists among the dis
charged men regarding the govern

"Due to Understandings and mis-
apprehension a surprising number Of
disabled service men are scattered
throughout the country not knowing
the benefits which are still theirs"
the statement read.

Acceptance Of the government offer
does not mean return to service. The
hospitals are civilian institutions. They
are separate institutions, and are not
connected in any way with the army or
navy.
"The Red Cross Is constantly dis
covering men who, through ignorance
or prejudice, are losing the advantages
of this wonderful service. So effective
has this work become that the govern
ment has asked the Red Cross to make
this part of it's regular relief work.
All that Is necessary Is for the ex-
service man to apply to the nearest
Red Cross chapter. Arrangements
Will be made there for him to enter
one Of these hospitals after examina-
and If his trouble Is the result Of serv-
ice with the army or navy he will be
given transportation and admittance
to public service hospital.
"The Red Cross is now engaged In
maintaining program Of recreation,
occupational therapy, meeting the
problems arising in the homes Of disa-
bled men, household and legal difficult
ties and affording many miscellaneous
services to keep the men who are in
the hospitals contented with their
lot"
This work Of the Red Cross is one
of the important branches outlined
for its post war work and part Of
the funds raised in the Third Red
Cross Roll Call, November to IL,
will be devoted to this purpose.

THAT DRYS HAVE INNING

The senate passed the prohibition
enforcement act over the presidents

effective machinery for preventing
sale of beverages containing more
than one-half of one percent alcohol.
The vote was SIS to 20, or eight
more than the necessary two-thirds
majority. While there was a wran-
gle over taking up the measure in
place of the peace treaty, which had
the right of way, there never was
doubt as to how the senate stood. 1t
was overwhelmingly dry" like the
house, which repassed the bill with
in three hours after the president
had vetoed 1t.
Before congress at 3:4O o'clock
finally clinched enactment of the en-
forcement law, despite presidential
objection to linking wartime and
constitutional prohibition acts, there
came from the white house the an
nouncement that the wartime law
which was put into effect after the
cessation of hostilities, would beam
nulled the moment the senate for
mally ratified the German peace
treaty.
1t was the most definite of all off
cial or semi-official statements bear

by the news, for they had counted
firmly upon the country reaching
the effective date of constitutional
prohibition-Janury 16, 1920-with-

Tools. !.

face Had Terrifying Effect
on Contractor.

Bliss, Okla.--A dip into the depths
of an uncased 610-foot oil well,
through an 18-inch hole, is like trip
to the River Styx, according to N. @.
Essary, driller of this place, but he
made eight such journeys before he
finally recovered a bit that had been
lost, plugging the hole in such a way
that further drilling operations were
impossible until 1t had been removed.
First, a chicken was sent down the
hole, and when 1t was hauled up alive,
Essary concluded there was no gas
in the opening and instructed his help
ers to lower him.
The initial feat, Essary declared,
rather unnerved him at times, but sub
seQuent descents were made much cas-
Ter. His act attracted the attention Of
Oil men and drIllers all over the coun-
try, for no man had ever before at
tempted to descend in an uncased well.
1t had even been declared by oil men
that such thing as going down an un-
cased hole the width Of the oil drill,
was an tmpoSS1biltty.
Tight Fit In Some Places.
Essary said. in describing his de-
scent: "As I moved slowly down into
the well, l kept wondering If 1t would
get any tighter, for a 185-pound man
fits an 1S-lnch hole pretty tight. But
after had descended almost 40 feet,
I discovered that I was going to have
plenty Of room, except In places where
the formation was hard. AS I passed
through the tight places into large,
roomy, yawnIng caverns it would
make me cringe, for I would dangle
around on the table and could not
touch anything for support, and they
looked like large, red mouths prepared
to swallow me up.
"The air was cool and damp, and
had the odor Of fresh earth. AS peb-
bles would fall they made noises as
loud as thunder. When a stone would
crash down the racket was deafening.
The Semi-weekly leader., 1919-08-02

"The Air Was Cool and Damp"
There was q continual clatter as the
walls kept cavlng In. After repeated
attempts finally located the tools and
dragged them to one side, fastening
hooks and chains in order that they
might be pulled up later.
Prayed From Depth Of Well.
''While I waited for the men above
to act I breathed a little prayer, for
a veritable shower of stones and dirt
was falling about me. As continued
to climb on top of the falling rock that
gathered around my feet and legs It
seemed like ages passed, and the rocks
continued to fall heavier. I waited as
silently and patiently as I could for
the cable to begin moving upward. and
when at last it did, gladly climbed on
like dago monkey and my heart actu-
ally leaped for Joy.
"When reached the surface this
time, bruised and bleeding about the
face and arms, was a little groggy
for few minutes, but after preparing
a better shield for myself from the
falling debris continued to make fire.
