C. D. WALCOTT AND THE SMITHSONIAN

Charles D. Walcott, secretary of
the Smithsonian institution in Wash
ington, has issued an illustrated ac-
count of the field work of the last year
by its staff and collaborators. The
Smithsonian was established by fed
eral statute in 1916 under the terms
of the will of James Smithson 1765-
1929, who beaueathed in 1926 the sum
of $4,000 to the United States for
the increase and diffusion Of knowl-
edge among men," Smithson was the
natural son of the duke of Northum-
berland and said that his bequest
would make his name better known
than his fathers. The income of tie
Smithsonian is now about 100000 a
year.
One of the most important activl.
ties of the Smithsonian institution is
the exploration of little-llnown regions
of the world. Among the regions
visited by the % separate expeditions
are many states in this country, Chile,
and Celebes. The explorations, all of

of the day he thus conveyed his in
depreciation to the innkeeper:
Il drove the queerest lot you ever
saw. They chartered like monkeys.
They wouldn't keep still They jump

what allied them; he said they was

they acted, l should say they was."--

that Judge Ben B. Lindsey, the IA

TO pay for holding inviolate the con-
fidence of a small boy The supreme
court of the state has ruled that he
must carry out the sentence. Judge
Lindsey has taken an appeal to the
United States Supreme court, but law
gers say there is no federal question

has fatty refused to pay this fine and
says that he will go TO Jail for life

in spite of his conviction he is not

story. A traveller stopped at a house
and asked for cup of tea. Having
none on hand, the host sent his son
out to procure some. Meanwhile the
hostess put pot of water on the fire
it became necessary TO add some more
water TO the pot. This was done sew
eral times. The son still remained alb
sent, and finally the wife said to her
husband; "Inasmuch as the tea does
not seem to be forthcoming, perhaps
you had better offer your guest a
bath"

If you find that you are uot of breath, your heart beat is forced, trembling or irregular, you may be victim of functional or or ganic heart trouble. If you feel that you must smoke, chew or snuff to quiet your nerves, you are a slave to the tobacco habit, and are positively poisoning yourself with the deadly drug, nicotine. In either case you have the two alternatives keep on with the self-poisoning process ire spectve of the dangers and suffer the consequences, or give up the habit and escape the dangers. You can overcome the craving and stop the habit in a very short time by using the blowing inexpensive formula. Go to any drug store and ask for Nicotol tablets, take one tablet after each meal, and in comparatively short time you will have no desire for to- bacco, the craving will have left you. With the nicotine poison out of your system your general health will quick ly improve.
 Note-When asked about Nicotol tablets, one of our leading druggists said: Ut is truly wonderful rem edy for the tobacco habit; away ahead of anything we have ever sold before. We are authorized by the manufacturers to refund the money to every dissatisfied customer, and we would not permit the use of our name unless the remedy possessed unusual merit.'

Tankage Causes Shutdown in the
 Cement Fields

Cement, Okla, Oct. 4.--Because of a shortage of tankage all producers in the Cement field are shut down. The tanks of the Calla Belle are full, all available tankage at Gladstone No. 2, Big Whip allotment, is full; the big storage tank of the Gorton loading rack is full and for the mo- ment there are no tank cars available to haul the product away.
 When the Gladstone Big Whip al- lotment, in 3-5-9, was pumping 275 barrels of oil day. This company, which is now the Invincible Oil Com pany, has spudded in it's No. 2 Big Whip, just one location north of the No. l, and two more rigs are up. Contract is let for the fourth new derrick.
 The Betty G., Lackey farm, in the northeast of the northwest of 1l-5-9, is experiencing ali kinds of trouble with heavy or creeping" gas. They are trying to mud off the flow. When a quantity of gas escapes it hugs the ground and, when the wind is not blowing, assemblies in low places in such quantities that there is grave danger of fire. Several times during the past few days farmers in that have been forced to eat cold meals and go to bed without lights because of the danger in light ing fires. Travellers have from time to time been forced to detour a half mile east of the well, making the cir cult a mile south and back into the road a half mile west of the location.
 Gorton No. 1, Rigney farm, in the northeast of the southeast of 12-5-9, is drilling again after a shutdown of several weeks. An officer in the Cor ton trust gave the depth at below 2,000 feet when the well was shut down.

Rough Handling For Rough Men,
 Oil Field Rule

Fort Worth, Tex, Oct. A." Rough characters are in a good way to get rough handling from the law abiding residents of Waggoner City, who are about tired of their operations and the name they are giving the town,' ' said local oil man in close touch with the situation at the new settlement Thursday. "There have been several meetings at which this action was was tentatively discussed and in my opinion late events will pull off some thing of this nature in the next few days.
 Influential residents of the town have made the statement that unless some of the officers stationed there show some activity in this connection they are likely to be advised to take sudden departure with the bad men, as their inactiveness have put some of them in bad odor and repute with the townsmen.
 Ut isn't to be a question of vigil lante committee, but just plain old mob composed of the better citizens of the place."
