SIGNING OF OIL
BILL ENDS TODAY
Measure Was Originally In
trOduCed During Admins
tratiOn of Col. Roosevelt.
BY LOUIS LUDLOW.

(News-Times Washington Correspondents }
WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 10
The signing Of the so-callcd oil leas-
ing bill by Pres't Wilson will end
a controversy that was started dur
ing the Roosevelt administration and
which n n uninterrupted
through the intervening years. {
is the expectation of congress that
under this legislations the natural
resources to which it relates-coal,
oil and gas-wiil be developed rap
idly.
Perhaps most interest in the Iegis-
lat:on centers in the conditions un-
der which coal is TO be taken from
the public domain. All of the ar
rangemcnts for taking cCal, as well
as the other deposits. will have to
be made with the secretary of the
interior
To Sub-dividc Land.
The first step toward the develop
ment OF the gOvernment-owned coal
land viii be to sub-divide this land
into leasing tracts Of forty acres
each or multiples thereof. In no
case viii any one leasing tract con
tain more than 1850 acres. Leases
are to be awarded by competitive
bidding. There are some provisions
or exceptions written into the legis-
iation. For instance. where pros
pccting or exploring work is nee
cssary to determine the existence or
work ability of coal deposits, the
scrtary Of the interior may issue a
prospecting permit for a term of
two years for not exceeding 1850
acres. and if within that period the
permittee shows 10 the secretary
that the land contains coal in com
mercial quantities the permittee is
to be entitled 70 a lease.
No Lease of coal land is to be
approved or issued until after a no.
tce of 80 days has been given in a
newspaper Of general circulation in
the county in which thhe land OF
deposits are situated. There is also
provision that no railroad shall be
rermittee TO hold a lease TO mine
ccal on the public domain except
| for its own use, and no railroad
company can receive more than one
permit or lease for each 200 miles

WIRELESS IN THE POCKET
Small, Cheap Apparatus That 10 Real
Iy a Marvel Of Ingenuity.
Costs Only IS.

II is now possible to pick up WIRE
less message from any of the big sta
tons within reasonable distance In
this country with the aid of an ordin-
airy umbrella, a patent pOcketbook and
telephone.
The umbrella will act as the aerial,
the pocketbook contains q miniature
receiving set, and, of course, the tele-
phone must be a high-reslstance in
strument.
1t has even been possible, inventors
of the pocket receiving set say, to use
an ordinary bedstead as an aerial.
You must not expect with this sim
pie installation to get in wireless
touch with Paris, Berlin or Moscow,
but IL you want the mild excitement
of picking up messages from a home
station within reasonable distance you
must follow these directions:
Take your umbrella with you and
the pockelbook, select nice lofty po-
sition, and having earthed one corner
of the pocketbOok-say to water
pipe or something equally damp ana
handy. hold your umbrella out at
arms length. There should also be a,
telephone handy, and it would be more
convenient TO use the headgear worn
by telephone operators.
Having rugged yourself out as hui
man wireless station all you have to
do Is to listen. You will .be as a rock
in a wireless sea with invisible waves
of understanding running down the
stick Of your umbrella.
1t is claimed for this pocket receiv-

tiyeness with the most expensive and
elaborate tuner on the market.
