HELGOLAND OF THE ADRIATlC
Island of Cherso Has Become Point of Importance on the New Map
 of Europe.

The Versailles conference set Amer jeans searching the gazetteers for Tap; the San Reno conference turns the spotlight to another obscure island -Cherso.
 Practically unheard of on this side of the Atlantic, eluding most trav- elers, even escaping many of the seek CTS after the little-known places of Flu rope. Cherso neither is inaccessible nor unattractive," says bulletin from the National Geographic society. Tt dangles like pendant in the Gulf of QuarnerO, low hung from the neck of Plume. It is the Long Island of that port, its shore line rising 12 miles to the south of D'Annunzio's present stronghold. Its slender form extends to the southwest for 40 miles, though it never exceeds seven miles in width, and its area is somewhat more than twice that of the District of Columbia.
 Holding in mind this location, near the head of the Adriatic, in view of the tentative plans to make Plume a buffer state between Italy and JugO- Slavia, the strategic possibilities of Cherso become apparent Indeed, one may picture 1t as potential Helgo- land of the Adriatic.
 "ChersO lies off the shores of the northern part of Dalmatia and the Croatian littoral, a region formerly kn own as MOrlacchia. The Morlacchia channel preserves this name, Originat. ing with the Slavic invaders of Dal- matia. who called the Latinized peO- pie they found there Vlachs, or Nav ro-Vlachs-black Vlachs.' Thus the Slavs of this region have come to be known, by corruption of this title, as Morlachs.
 ''In rural districts MOrlacchian wom- en retain their historic costume, which includes kerchief for the head, many strands of beads, waist band from which hang amulets and various trim kets, and, over blue cloth gown, an apron of exquisite embroidered pat tern. About her neck an unmarried girl wears string of coins and rings which comprise her dOwry. Formerly the men wore their hair in plait, which their wives were expected to comb, adorn with ribbons and charms, and anoint with fats"

STILL UNDECIDED
Hunter We'll Officials, However, May
 "Let We'll Enough AlOne."

Stephens, July 17,-Officials of the Standard Oil Company of Louisiana and the Louisiana Oil Refining Cor poration, owners of the Hunter we'll at Stephens, still are undecided wheth- CT to drill deeper in the hope of bring ing in a gusher or making bumper" out of the hole. It is considered pro bable, however that they will decide to "let we'll enough alone" and pump out the oil.
 When operations were started this morning, it was found that there was 1900 feet of oil in the well. Eleven hundred feet had risen during the night. This was encouraging to the officials.
 After several hours of swabbing this morning, it was wiscovered that the oil coming from the hole was of an in- ferior quality An investigation dis closed that the swab was being operat- ed too fast, and that it was cutting the fluid Bottom sediment also was be- ing forced up with the oil. Opera tons were stopped at once, and it is probable further efforts to bail and swab the hole will be postponed until later,
