Great Industry May Be Born as

DEPOSITS IN Three STATES
Decrease Of Supply Of Petroleum and
Products and Ever Increasing

Necessary for Years.

Salt Lake City, Utah.-Oil shale
must be looked to, probably for years
to come, to supply increasing demands
for and lessened supply of petroleum
and It's products. Salt Lake City seems
TO be the natural center for expert
mentation and exploitation of an in.
dustry which is not yet born in this
country, although manufacture Of oil
from shale has been conducted on a
commercial basis in Scotland for 90
years.
In Colorado, Utah and Nevada, east,
west and south Of Salt Lake City, are
shale deposits Of unknown magnitude,
and Of richness surprising that of
shales known elsewhere. Oil shale Is
a common and general term for sew
eral different geological formations
different In appearance and in gum

HUN SPY TRIED SOAP TRICK
Rintcen Sought to Make It Appear
He Was "Dying of Con-
sumption"

New York.-Herr Rintelen, head Of
the German spy system in this coun-
try, tried to fool the doctors into think
ing he was dying of tuberculosis.
Rintelen. soon after he was COM
mitted to the Tombs, became peaked
and thin, coughed constantly, paled
and cast up foamy sputum. The
doctors found no tuberculosis germs,
but the prisoner showed all the other
symptoms.
Eventually the trick was detected.
It was the old soap game. Rintelen
was eating soap. So instead of get
ting to hospital whence he planned
to escape, he was sent to the Atlanta
penitentiary and when deprived Of
soap speedily recovered.

In order to encourage legitimate and
practical experimentation, an effort
will be made to induce congress to

Let the fact be clearly stated that
manufacture of oil from shale must
ne, so far as is now known, one of the
greatest industries in years to come.
Plants which are understood to be ex-

now. They are good businesses. Bus

The love of youth is always full of
hope. 1t is quite free from doubts and
fears. The young man and girl have
unbounded faith in love because they
have had no experience of the hearts
instability. Neither women nor men
can love quite so Fundamentally and
truly once their faith has been shaken.
For this reason the palm of true loving
goes to youth, writes a correspondent
in the New Orleans Picayune. Older
folks sometimes love with more pas
sion, but they are also more subtle.
They are much richer in exquisite ex-
preston of their affection, but this
ability to talk love" only comes from
practice. and is no proof of sincerity.

West Niruinfa.

The present state of West Virginia
was formerly, and for long time, a
part of the state of Virginia. The
presidential election of 1860 showed
that a majority of the people of Vir-
ginia were opposed to seeding from
the Union, but when President Lincoln
issued call for troops state conven-
ton PASSED an ordinance of secession
without waiting for the popular vote.
Later it was ratified by the people of
the eastern part of Virginia and repu-
dated by the people of the western
part. Thus the secession, or attempted
secession, of Virginia from the Union
led to the separc ton of West Virginia
and the formation Of tho new state.
