ing convoyers.
There was not time to have pass
ports made out, so the four started
out with only their military orders
These were naturally enough written
in English. At the Polish German
frontier the Poles passed the four
on the strength of their uniforms.
For the Germans one Of the four
brought out letter from his sweet
heart back home, written on blue
paper in violet ink and with the
name of a famous girls college en-
graved at the head. - a-
It happened that the letter was
written in French, the girl inf1icting
her school French in return for the
ex-doughboy having tried out his
"French-as-I -foHnd-it" on her. Luck
tly Frenchhad not been in the curric-
ulum OF those German frontier
guards. Backed up by a few cigar
cites. the letter got the four over
the frontier and so on TO Berlin.

THE PRINCE OF WALES, who

THE PRINCE OF WALES, who
brought his visit to Washing
= ton to a close last night and is
to spend the weekend 'incognito" at
White Sulphur Springs. was exceed
ingly busy on his last day at the
Capital. Following his call upon the
Vice President and Mrs. Marshall he
went to Annapolis and on his return
he paved a brief visit to Cardinal
Gibbons, who received him in the rec
tory Of St. Patrick's Church. In the
late afternoon he was the honor
guest at a tea dance given by Mrs.
Marshall Field and between his
sundry engagements he managed to
slip in a brief call upon Mr.. and Mrs.
Lawrence Townsend.
This was a quite unofficial in
cident and a gracious little attention
which was much appreciated, as Mr..
and Mrs. Townsend have known the
Prince since he was a sm<ll boy,
and their friendship with his family
dates back two generations. They
have visited both at Sandringham
and at Windsor and have received
much gracious attention from King
George and Queen Mary as they did
from the late Edward and the Dow
sger Queen Alexandra. Mr.. and Mrs.
Townsend's sons also knew the prince
when they were small boys attending
school in England.
In the little party assembled to
greet his royal highness were Mr..
and Mrs. TownsendI daughter, Miss
Yvonne Townsend their son. Capt
Reginald Townsehd;. Mrs. Richard
Townsend and her daughter. Mrs.
Peter Goelet Gerry; Mrs. Katherine
Townsend Osborne, who is visiting
the hosts: Mr.. and Mrs. Effingham
Townsend. Mr.. and Mrs. Franklin
Townsend, and Mrs. Albert Niblack.
All save Mrs. Niblack are relatives of
Mr.. and Mrs. Townsend. The Prince
was accompanied by Rear Admiral
Halsey. Rear Admiral Niblack. ana
Captain Leigh. Tis royal highness
expressed great interest in viewing
photographs of himself taken by Mrs.
Townsend when he was a child, and
of other members of the royal fam
lily.
Mrs. Fields Party.
Mrs. Field, at whose party the
prince said he had "a wonderful
time" had about $50 guests to meet
his royal highness, most of them
young people and none official A
buffet supper was served throughout
the dance which lasted until 8 o'clock
when the prince had to hurry away
to dine informally with Mr.. and Mrs.
Joseph Letter and to catch his train
for White sulphur Springs at 10
o'clock. Mrs. Field received the guests
in one of the drawing rooms, wearing
a handsome gown of black chantiIly
lace embroidered in rose.
RearsAdmiral Niblack served as a
sort of unofficial master of cere-
monies. The other men rather hest
tated to break in" on the prince, so
this pleasant duty fell to the admiral
who after a turn or two would whisk
his royal highness' partner away and
turn her over in a few moments to
some waiting cavalier. Among those
present at the tea-dance were Mrs
Peter Goelet Gerry, Mrs. William
Miller Graham, Mrs. Hare Lippincott,
Miss Edith Benham, Mrs. Horace
Westcott, Sir Arthur and Lady Will

Albuquerque, ~ NJ. May 26.-New
Mexico is being organized this week
for the Salvation Army drive for
funds to be used in home service work
in New Mexico. This is a part Of the
national drive Of the Salvation Army
to raise Sl3,000,O0O in the United
States New Mexico is expected to
raise only $4,000 of this amount, and
S23,00 Of this is to be raised exclu-
sively in Bernalillo and Chaves coun-
ties, where the only two permanent
Salvation Army posts in the state are
maintained.
The average county quota outside
of these two counties, il is said at
headquarters, is less than $1,000. 1t
is explained that the new method of
raising funds for the Salvation Army
is to supplant the old method of tam
BOURNE collections and other irreg-
ular and unscietifc campaigns. T. j.
Mabry of Albuquerque is chairman of
the state champaign, and c. II. Worth
of Chicago is director in charge.

OIL WIZARDS MACHINE
FAILS IN LOS ANGELES
J. b. Nelson Of Deming Fails TO Con.
vince Capitalists at Tucson,
Is Report

Tucson, Ariz., May 2l.-J. b. Nell
son, a merchant of Deming, N. NJ,
who has successfully located oil all
the way from Aqua Caliente, through
the Pantano district to the Baca Float
by means of terra firma periscope
invertoso, or some similar device, was
singularly unsuccessful In locating oil
in the Los Angeles district, either in
the fields where 1t was being pumped
from the wells or alongside Of a
sc, 900 gallon tank of Liquid gold"
and q group of local capitalists to
whom Nelson had been highly recon-
mended, have indefinitely postponed
drilling on one Of the locations.
The local committee, which accom-
panied the inventor to the Los An
geles field, reported at a meeting of
promoters held Friday night at the
Arizona National bank, that the ma
chine gets out Of order so easily that
il would be unsafe to trust locations
so made in its present state of devel-
opment. John Metz, who was one
member of the committee, has not yet
returned from the coast.
Mr.. Nelson, when informed that his
tests in Los Angeles had failed COM
pletely, was totally at loss to ex-
plain il. The committee felt that he
was entirely sincere in his faith in
the device, but as he has not revealed
even the principle on which il oper-
ates or even allowed anyone to see
It, the committee could give him no
help.
The inventor carries the periscope
in a handbag and usually operates in
the lee Of protecting umbrella. In
the Los Angeles tests he was taken
from place to place in n closed auto
mobile and il was considered curious
that when he had located oil in one
spot, which was then marked, and was
later brought back to the same spot
by a roundabout route, he failed to
check his own location.
Mr.. Nelson is man Of about 60
years who has gained the confidence
of reputable persons in the Texas oil
fields. He was in Tucson last We'd
nesday on his way home from the
coast.

Sample of Oil From Bowie

J1o. w. Clark, proprietor of the
Deming Roller mill, spent a few days
over around Bowie and Stafford, Ariz..
last week looking over the prospective
oil field and contracting for wheat and
other grain enough to give him a
steady run next year. Owing to the
government regulations last year his
mill has been idle a great deal Of the
time for several months past on ac-
count OF being unable to hold a suffi-
cient amount Of the nearby crop to
keep him going. This has caused the
people around here to have to pay
more for flour. Mr.. Clark was sur
prised at the prospects for oil he
found. AT places the "liquid gold" IS
actually seeping out Of the ground, a
bottle Of which he brought back with
him.
