try where many are out Of work and

Many OF the Eastern members be-
lieNc that Congress should keep hands
on the present situation and allow
The aftcr-War readiustment to be
made as quickly as possible in order
That the country may resume Dusi-
ness on a normal basis. This, il is
admitted, is one Of the reasons for the
plan To tack on numerous amend
mcnts to the farmer products tariff

II is apparent that what in some re

GeOlogist Bibbins Makes Encouraging
Report To Academy of Sciences.
That conditions are very favorable
in certain parts of Garrett county for
oil development was the encouraging
news announced by State Geologist
Arthur B. Bibbins, who has just COM
pleted a survey of investigation con-
rcerning rumors of seepages that have
recently been brought to the atten-
ton of the Academy of Sciences from
Western Maryland, Northern Virginia
and Southeastern Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Bibbins, who is president of the
Academy, reported his findings at the
meeting of the petroleum section
of the Academy on last Friday night
Mr.. Bibbins stated that there was
no doubt about the actual seepage of
oil and gas in several of the western
counties of Maryland and one in north
ern Virginia. Two of gas, he said, oc-
cur in Garrett county, where a group
of prominent Pittsburgh oil men have
leased 10000 acres and will shortly
drill there Mr.. Bibbins examined very
carefully the geologic structure of this
section and found it very favorable in
certain sections of Garrett county for
oil development. The fact that oil has
been struck in Southern Pennsylvania
nearly as far east as Maryland he also
considers a very encouraging feature
Another actual seepage of oil and
gas was found in Allegany county,
and the gas proved to be inhammable.
A well-marked oil and gas seepage
has also been located in Southeastern
Pennsylvania, and the oil is being
