LEGION MAPS PLAN
FOR SERVING MEN

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.--Franklin
D'Olier, national commander of the
American Legion, has issued the fol-
lowing statement with regard to the
service the legion has undertaken to
render former service men.
AT each OF the 1000 local posts
OF the American Legion thruout the
country is a war risk officer, conform
ing in this regard with the state or
CARNATIONS and that at national head
quarters In indianapolis.
These local post officers have
been instructed to take up with var
ious governmental bureaus in Wash
ington. or branch offices, any cases
with regard to ex-service men that
may be brought to their attention
calling for government action. Such
cases as they deem worthy of the ad-
vice of the state war risk officer are
forwarded to him. Where the case
cannot be handled by state depart
ment officers, II is forwarded to state
headquarters, and may in turn be
submitted to national headquarters
for attention, where the headquar-
ters service is required. Thousands
of these difficult and extraordinary
cases involving questions of law and
procedure or delayed cases are re-
ceived at national headquarters daily
Most of these appeals consist Of
various claims against the govern
ment growing out of mans service
in the army, navy or Marine Corps.
They relate for the most part to com
pensation, allotments. Liberty loan
bonds. vocational training an d
bonuses.
"In period of two months. for
example, national headquarters has
been instrumental in collecting for
former service men $16.65O in allot-
ments and allowances.
Charles F. Sheridan in charge of
the service division at national head
quarters, and formerly connected
with War Risk Insurance Bureau at
Washington, is in charge of this
branch of the service. His intimate
knowledge of the workings of vari-
Gus government bureaus in Washing
ton enables him to render with the
utmost dispatch this service to the
many former service men wishing
to appeal their cases to the War De-
partment. louisville Herald.

ENUMERATOR TURNS RESCURER

In the central part of New York
state, near Oswego, u few days ago
an enumerator making his rounds on
snowshoes arrived at an isolated
farm dwelling only to find that an
able-bodied man was needed more
than a census gatherer as the man of
the family had been sick in bed for
several days and the farm animals
we're suffering for lack CT food and
water. The census man, like any
good neighbor would, stopped long
enough to do the chores dig out
paths thru the deep snow and put
things in ship-shape order before con
tinuing his journey.

GIVES KENTUCKY CREDIT
FOR FIRST OH

This is the one hundredth ami
versaryJ Of the discovery of oil in
America, according to +. II. Bagby,
of Fort Worth, in the Petroleum
journal (of Wichita, Kans..) who
has an interesting story to tell in
connection with the discovery.
Kentucky, not Pennsylvania.
Ohio or Wost Virginia. is the mother
state Of petroleum. Bagby says and
he cites the official report of the
Kentucky State Inspector Of Mines
as his authority.
1t was 100 years ago. goes the
story, that certain residents of Cum
berland Gap, Tenn, began a quest
for salt by drilling we'll, using
horse power. on the banks of the
Cumberland River. in Wayne COun-
ty, Kentucky.
At less than 100 feet a dark
brown liquid came out of the hole.
The quest for salt was a disappoint-
ment, and was abandoned. the well
being allowed to stand open. The
new discovery was not even named.
but the fluid continued to rise from
the we'll and cover the waters of
the Cumberland River.
The liquid was later named
Devils Tar" by native women. 1t
was given this name because it had
darkened the features of geese which
was one of principal revenues of the
mountaincer women.
As late as 1896 this well was still
in use, the oil being taken from the
well by means of cup attached to
Il fishing pole The oil was then
used for rough lubricating purposes.
and as an external application was
of great value in preventing ticks
among the cattle.
The story relates interestingly
the first barrel of oil ever shipped
in this country came from this first
well.
An enterprising citizen Of Wayne
County, dreaming Of the oil as
commercial possibility, collected a-
barrel of the fluid He flOated the
fin st shipment down the Cumberland
Ohio and Mississippi Rivers to New
Orleans. from where it was cOnsign-
ed to chemist in London for analy-
sis.
When it reached its destination.
customs officials were unable to
either name or describe the product.
which they were required to do be
fore allowing it to enter. The prob
lem was solved by knocking the
head out of the barrel and pouring
the oil into the English Channel.
During the late years the oil fields
of Wayne County have been thor
oushly developed, the oil being trans
ported by pipe line TO Somerset,
where it is refined.
The old"Devil's Tar of Cumbcr-
land River. that spoiled the old wo-
mans goose feathers. has become
probably the most powerful mdust-
rial factor in the world.
