GOOD MOTHERS
Best, Says English EXpert-British q Bad Third,

London, Feb. 9.-The best mothers in Londons East Side, the poor dis trict. are Jewish, in the opinion of Dr. C. W. Saleeby, chairman of the National Birthrate comm ission, as eX- pressed in an address at University college. Dr. SaIeeby added that Irish mothers were not a bad second and that the English mother ranked as a very bad third.
 He explained that in the case of the Jewish and Irish mother this was q direct result of race ethics. Breast feeding was virtually universal among them and there was a minimum of that dreaded disea SC arising from inn morality. He declared that infant mortality was not really medical problem, but a social problem of motherhood and d question of racial morals.
 During his address Dr. Salecby quoted figures showing that despite bad housing, bad sanitation and Vir- tually no child welfare efforts, infan- tile mortality in Western Ireland was only about 5 per thousand, as com- pared with 135 in 1000 in Bradford, England, which has the best equip ment for infant welfare in the world.

RISE IN OIL PRICE
 MEANS OTHER WELLS
Biggest Hunt for New Supply Since
 Early Days of First Dis-

Pittsburgh. Feb. 9.-The advance in the price of Pennsylvania crude oil to So a barrel will result in the widest search for petroleum this sec tlon has known since the early days of the oil excitement" according to authorities in the industry here.
 Already it has started. and leases are being taken on territory which was drilled over more than half a century ago and then abandoned for more productive fields Drilling has been commenced in some of these leases. and results have been so good as to encourage others. One field in Allegheny county. abandoned in the early seventies because the one well drilled proved to be a "duster." has produced number of wells the past few months.
 ''The greater part of this develop ment will be in Western Pennsylvania and West Virginia explained the head of a large corporation which has been developing oil territory for many years When oil was only a dollar a barrel oUe had to bring in good well before he had a paying proposition. Now with oil at s barrel it pays to dlfll a lot of wells, even though they only produce a bar rel or two d day. W reduce expenses by connecting these small webs to one power plant. and pumping them very thoroughly. While the initial cost of drilling is high. about three times as much as in the old days, economies of operation and the princelH price of crude. make hunt ing for the Pennsylvania grade pretty profitable investment.
 The companies engaged in this work are usually old-time organiza- tions which have no stock for sale and which cover thoroughly with leases all the territory in the imme- diate neighborhood of their opera tiOnS.

CONSIDER EXTRADITI0N
Committee on Foreign Affairs Meets Today-So Reply Until Policy of Entente Is Announced.

Berlin, Feb. 9.--The committee on foreign affairs of the national as sembly will meet today to consider the eNtradition question. It seems improbable that reply will be made to the Entente demand for the sur render of the Germans whose names are contained in the list recently de- livered until response is received by the German government to its note of January 25. (In this note Germany asked the Allies to renounce the execution of the eXtradition ar ticle of the peace treaty. affirming that it would inevitably cause politi cal and economic troubles, the al ternative being proposed that the trial of the persons involved be held in Germany with the participation of Allied representatives.
 The newspapers declare that the attitude of the government toward the eXtradition question is unchanged.
 The association of German sol diers carried out a big demonstration here yesterday against acceptance of the eNtradition demand. Similar demonstrations were held in the provinces.

FIRE BURNS 20 YEARS.
United Verde Copper Mine Blaze Is
 Now About Over.

Jerome. -Ariz., Feb. 3.-The fire which for more than twenty years has burned in the upper levels of the United Verde Copper mine here, is about to be eliminated by a drastic process of lowering the entire sur face of the property to 40O-foot level. All attempts to eNtinguish it have failed.
 It is the general opinion that the fire was started by q slip in the rock producing sufficient friction heat to ignite the ores rich in sulphur. It has burned it's way through veins of copper, gold and sulphur.
 The process of SuppressinS the fire involves the removal Of 14.000. 900 cubic yards of material. The area to be evacuated is roughly estimated at 100 by 500 feet. Monster steam shovels are tn be employed in the work.
 iS expected that the task of re moving the entire tCp of the mine. and to cNtinguiSh the fire, will occupy several years.
