ORIGIN OF "DICkENS NAMES"
Pursuit Long Favorite Amusement
Of the Admirers Of Writer Of
Immortal Fiction.

One Of the most interesting Of semi
literary hobbies Is the search after
the origin of "Dickens Names" 1t Ia
specially interesting, no doubt because
nobody can prove to demonstration
that his particular solution" Is the
correct one, and. as a consequence,
the long list of potential discoveries
is seldom reduced. much less exhaust
ed. One Of the latest STRIKES" is a
possible origin for the old favorite,
"Chadband." A recent writer tells how,
a few years ago, in one of the small
hamlets between Sutton and Epson,
there stood small tailor's shop bear
ing In large letters the name of "Chad-
band" And he goes on to wonder
whether Dickens. going down by rond
Dorking, noticed the name. and kept
1t for future use" for on that route
he would have passed the very door
of the shop. The writer seems to think
1t highly likely: while, in proof that
Dickens actually made the journey,
was 1t not in the town of Dorking
that there stood the Marquis of Gran
by? And was it not the hostess Of
the Marquis Of Cranky who ultimate
ly became Mrs. Weller?-Christian

DRILLING CONTINUES AT d

Last week an additional flow of
artesian water was struck by the
drillers of the West Pearl Oil and
Gas Company at JD ranch, IL miles
south of Oakley. A few days passed
before this water was shut off, and
meanwhile drilling was temporarily
suspended. This circumstance prob
ably gave rise to the rumor that oil
had been struck.
Another circumstance that had a
tendency to encourage the rumor
was the presence here of Hugh Fur
guson and p. j. Molyneaux, both of
{ Pennsylvania, and both connected
with the company that is doning the
drilling.
Then, too, many were excited by
the fact that mo Trespassing' signs
had been posted warning people to
stay away from the we'll.
The new flow OF water was shut
off from the well Tuesday, and drill
ing began again.
While we have no definite infor-
nation as to the size of the latest
flow Of water, it is said to be consid-

important Discovery Made by Call
fornia Professor as to PecuIiarities
Of Family Groups.

Prof. ]. A. Larson. instructor OF
fornia. announced new discovery In
connection with finger prints which is
likely to have q remarkable influence
on many important cases that, con-
cern the law courts Of California.
Briefly, Professor Larson's discMfry
indicates that a similarity of finger
prints among members of family is
sufficiently marked to enable scientists
to trace family groups and determine
positively whether given individual
is really a member Of the family to
which he claims relationship.
The importance Of the discovery In
probate cases such as the Slingsby case
Is obvious.
Should DIR. Larson's new discovery
be accepted by law and science, the
SIingsby decision may be reversed, as
well as many other analogous cases.
DR.. Larson's investigations began In
1913 at the Boston university.
"Since that time I have examined
prints Of members of approximately
100 families" he said. "snd am salts
fed In my own mind that such a
means OF identification is possible. l
am preparing detailed reports Of my
work now In order that science may
be benefited by my discovery. Before
l complete this, however. l expect to
investigate the prints of fifteen or
twenty additional families so as to re-
move all doubt as to the accuracy of
my discovery."-San Francisco Chron-
