WILL HEAR SERVICE MEN.
Before Legislature Takes Action on Me-
mortal Hall Bill.
STATE HOUSE, DOVER APRIL 10.


STATE HOUSE Dover APRIL I5.
In the House of Representatives yes
terday afternoon Representative Lyons
called up the House substitute for the
House bill providing for securing site
and erecting State Armory and Arsenal.
REPRESENTATIVE McNabb said he pre-
ferred the Soldiers Bonus bill, but would
vote for the Armory and Arsenal bill
because il applies to Wilmington.
Representative Mulvena announced
that the ex-service men he had interviewed
unanimously favored a bonus.
Representative Hastings presented the
following letter from Z. X. Benson, com
mander of Laurel Post, No. y, American
Legion, and former first lieutenant OF the
Twelfth Machine Gun Battalion, fourth
Division, Regular Army:
ssThe attached list (15o signatures
contains the names of those men from
Laurel and its vicinity who were IN the
service and also those from, Delmar as
near as | could get them.
"The majority of these men are members
of Laurel Post, American Legion, and, as
commander, have talked to them several
times regarding bonus legislation affecting
the ex-service man. With regard to the
State bonus. it is the unanimous opinion
that whatever the bonus may be 1T should
be made as real to the man from the coun-
try crossroads AS to the man IN the larger
cities. and in your consideration of such
a bill. therefore, we ask that you endeavor

laced-edged ruffies, some smart
with tucks; and with choice of
square neck, round neck, y-neck
or Buster Brown collar. Prices,
1925 to $3.50.
In the same pretty shades in
organdy come the separate
Buster Brown collars, edged
with self-frills, $50. Some
are accompanied by frilled
cuffs, and these are $3.50 set.
In white and the equally
fashionable cream shade are to

of collars and vestees Of organ
dy, net and batiste, variously
trimmed with tucks, frills, laces
and insertions.
Any one of them will make
a lovely Spring frock lovelier.
Prices are 50 to 1915.
The smart vestees made Of
tricolette or figured sports silks
are, of course, tremendously
fashionable, and of these alone
there's choice of a whole case
full at a general price range
of $3.50 TO $50. Every desir-
able color effect is displayed.
Particularly effective are the
new vestees Of drop-stiteh-pat-
tern tricolette, made TO go with
the Etons, which are almost
blouses in themselves. They
have jaunty sashes which go
around and tie, and some show
pretty round collars of satin
in a contrasting shade. The
colors are tan, blue, rose and
white, and the price IS sf6.5o.

TO FILM OBSTRUCTIVE
GRAIN DUST EXPLOSIONS
NEW Ork Evening Post)

>
The frequency of grain dust eXplo-
sions in this country and the disas-
trous consequences have led the
United States department of agricul
ture to adopt novel method of arous-
ing public attention to these explos-
ions and OF inducing the owners of
flour mills to adopt preventive meas
ures. 1t appears that in the course of
the last nine months of 1919 five Sc
we're explosions of grain dust occurred
resulting in the loss of seventy lives
and of property valued at about mil
lion dollars in addition to the value of
the flour and grain destroyed.
The department in consequence en-.
tered upon series of experiments
with view to investigating the ma
ture of these explosions, and took adj
vantage of the plant for studying mine
explosions which the United States
bureau of mines possesses at Pitts
turgh The grain dust experimental
explosions were not merely photo
graphed-they were filmed, and the

OIL. SUPPLY WILL
BE EXHAUSTED IN
20 YEARS, BELIEF

WASHINGTON, D. G., May II
With gasoline and fuel oil consump-
ton outstripping production and the
underground reserve likely to be ex-
hausted in 20 years, the nation is fac
ing a liquid fuel crisis calling for dras-
tic action, according to Dr. Van Fl.
Manning, director Of the bureau Of
mines.
"The time has arrived when with
crude oil higher than it has been for
30 years, inefficiency in the produc-
ton and manufacture Of petroleum
should not be countenanced," said DR..
Manning. Petroleum and its pro-
ducts should be reserved for those
uses for which it is peculiarly adapt
ed and for which there are no substi-
'tutes.
Use Also Rises With Rush
while the year 1920 began with
IAN increased oil production, according
to the geological survey, the consump-
ton has increased so much faster that
in January, February and March it
was necessary to take 3,373.000 bar
rels of crude oil from storage to meet
the current needs.
''In the United States the yield Of
the north Texas fields has apparently
receded from the maximum and is
now on the decline. and unless new
fields are there discovered the pro-
duction for 1920 is likely to be less
than for 1919. Promising fields in
Louisiana have proved to be large.
but not as extensive as many had
anticipated.
THE United States geological sur
vey has estimated that more than 40
per cent. of the oil in all the oil fields
has been brought to the surface and
used. and it has estimated that the
underground reserve is equal to less
than 90 years of the present consump
ton demands.
Vast Foreign Oil Fields.
There undoubtedly are vast guam
titles of oil to be found abroad, as the
rest of the worlds territory has not
been developed nor prospected as in
tensively as the United States. Large
fields occur in Mexico, Venezuela, Co
lombia. Persia, Russia, and potential
fields are known to occur in other
parts of South America, Africa and
Asia.
The best fields. those in the Amer
icas, are nearly all under the control
of Latin-American governments, while
the others in other continents are
mostly under the control of the Brit
ish, French, and the Netherlands,
with the exception of fields in the
former Russian empire"
An important new source in the
United States is said to be the oil
shales. of the Rocky mountain dis
tricts, declared capable of yielding
many times greater quantities of ny
drocarbons than have ever been ex-
tracted in all the oil fields"
