HOW BIOLOGISTS FIND OIL.

In the early days Of the oil industry
search for new oil fields was carried on
in a ~haphazard way. Few or none
knew exactly where to look for petro-
leum pools, and it was usually only by
persistent drilling of wells and fools
luck that ~prospectors made their
strikes. Vastly more failures than sue
cesses. resulted from this unmethodical
procedure, and fortunes were sunk In
testing hopelessly dry or only slightly
productive territory.
In course OF time. however, scientific
ideas crept into the plans of the oil
seekers and the geologist was called
upon as counselor and guide. Nova

requisites to the exploitation of any
supposed oil region. In consequence,
the pursuit Of oil, though still attended

and chance and loss. The geologist cam

groupings Of rocks to find beds OF car

may be a source of oil. He examines
the outcrops to discover sandstones or
fractured limestones capped by imper-
vious beds, forming reservoirs for oil
and gas. He also seeks for indications
that he oil has been localized into

places In which TO drill wells,

DOROTHY DIX'S TALK
NEVER TOO LATE TO MEND.
BY DOROTHY DIX,
The Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.

A correspondent asks this question:
Has a woman of 80 any chance to
make up for neglecting her mind and
body in the past?"
Certainly she has. Thirty is the
psychological age at which a woman
should sit down and accurately and
cold bloodedly take stock of herself,
and ascertain just what her assets
and her liabilities are in flesh, spirit
and brain.
Up to 80 we conduct the business Of
life on the capital of hope, youth and
a general belief that everything is
bound to turn out just as we wish it,
and that we will always be strong and
well. After 80 life is run on a cash
basis, We have to deliver the goods
at every turn. The /. o. US we have
given to dissipation, to carelessness be-
gin to fall due, and we realize for the
first time that Fate will not let us
run an endless score with existence,
but that for everything we have had,
and done, we must pay at last.
Then 1t is that the fear of bank
ruptcy enters into u souls, and IL we
are wise instead Of getting into a panic,
and throwing up our hands, and max
ing an assignment, we get busy max
Ing up for our lost opportunities and
increasing u resources.
Up to the time q woman Is 80 she
has not thought much about her body,
because she has had the vigor of youth
and the beauty of youth that the French
call devilish beauty. Almost all young
animals, including the human animal
are pretty and attractive because they
are 1.-the. slim, graceful and full of the
joy of mere existence.
But at 80 this beauty Of youth be
gins to wane. A woman commences
to fatten up. or thin down, according
90 che mn tn tha fanthaN nod rs 1tu.
ing skeleton type Of figure. Her Skin
loses Its freshness. Her hair its lus'
ter.
She has come to the parting of tn,
ways and she can take one path tina
leads to a premature and homely mid
die age, or the other path that land
her in a perennial paradise OF goo
looks, where the hand of time Is ap
parently stayed.
Every woman knows that her figur
Is merely a matter Of the proper foo,
and exercise, and that she can be sylph
like or ,tubby as she Wills. She ais
knows that no woman need groy
wrihkled and sallow, and lose her hal
and her teeth unless she is too laz
and stpuid to take care Of them. Like
wise she knows that in taking care
her looks she must take care Of he
body, for beauty and health are almos
interchangeable terms.
II the great war taught us no othe
lesson it has taught us what we ca
do for our bodies-as witness the vas
number OF bay-windowed, stiff, middle
aged men. who Topped off 40 or s
pounds OF fat to get into khaki an
who dropped 20 years Of age in tn
process.
Every OF so should go I

thorough physical examination. He vi
tell her where the weak spots are, an
how to repair them; thus shall she saN
herself from invalidism. Then 81

DAILY STRENGTH AND CHEER
Complied bV John q. 0ulnlus. the
Sunshine Man.

Out In the open a plain brown field,
Stony and rough and still;
And a common nan on the worn loot
path go,
That leads from the brow Of the hill.
A common man, but his sight Is Keen
And his Judgment quick and wise; .
And he reads a secret from those dulI
stones
That is hid from other eyes.
Down he goes to the marts Of trade.
Down, with his soul afire.
For the barren field with Its rocky soil
Has become his hearts desire,
He listens not to his friends or foes;
Nothing can change his will;
He sells his all, and he goes and buys
The field on the side OF the hill,
Then 10! down deep in the hardened
He has found a mine OF gold,
And the price he paid for the stony
Comes back with a thousand fold,
So-listen-to many a common man
The heart Of the wise Is given
To know that all Is a price too small
To pay for the kingdom OF heaven.
And, paying all that he has TO pay,
A wonderful thing comes true.
The earth is given to such n one,
And the Kingdom Of heaven, too!

and learn how to conserve her good
looks. 1t will be money in her pocket,
for attractiveness is a large part of
a woman's success in both domestic
and business circles.
The woman of 80 must realize, how
ever, that she must put her faith in
other charms than physical ones, be-
cause she is passing out of the living
picture class, and 80 a never COM
pete with 20 in a beauty show.
Therefore it is up TO the woman Of
80 to become interesting. To do this
she must read and study. She must
keep abreast of the times, and informed
on a wide variety of topics. Above all,
she must keep her mind receptive to
new ideas and points of view.
Perhaps the woman was unfortu-
nate enough not to have had good edu-
cational advantages IN her youth. Let
her make up for these by attending
lectures, reading instructive books in
stead OF frothy novels, and joining
some of the innumerable women's study
clubs that have been aptly called the
middle aged woman's university.
| have known more han one woman
who has educated herself after 80 and
changed herself from AN illiterate into
a cultured woman solely by her own
efforts.
The woman Of 80 must realize that
the time has come for her to cultivate
charm. Young girls may be brusque,
tactless and self-centered and it will
be forgiven them on account of their
youth and good looks. Not so the ma
ture woman. II she wishes to be ad-
mired, If she desires to be socially
popular, or successful In business, she
must bring other tactics to bear on
her world.
She must be sympathetic. She must
develop that sixth sense that makes her
know intuitively how to deal with those
with whom she comes in contact so as
not to rub their fur the wrong way,
She must learn graciousness, how to
say the little p~leasantest word and dc
the little thing that please those about
her.
She must learn the fortitude thai
makes her draw people out to talk
about themselves instead Of INDUCING
herself in talking about her own at
fairs, She must acquire diplomacy
that enables her to handle her world ir
velvet gloves.
! All Of these arts inc graces the
woman of 80 may acquire, and wher
she possesses them she can snap hel
fingers at her vanishing youth, anC
turn a hopeful face toward age, fol
she has those indestructible attraction
that time can not wither nor custom
stale.
