OIL EXTRACTION
PLANS OUTLINED

Announcement is made by the conser'
votion commission that an oil ex-
traction plant will soon be installed In
the departments laboratories for expert
mental purposes. According to DR.. w
n. Logan, geologist for the State de-
partmcnt of conservation, the plant viii
be a duplicate on a smaller scale OF the
$50, 600 commercial plant which is tc
be erected in southern Indiana to demon
strate the possibility of the extraction OF
oil in commercial quantities from the
New Albany shale-
The experimental plant for the depart
ment is being installed by Louis s
Clarke OF Ardmore, Pa, at his own ex-
pense Mr.. Clarke advises the depart
IDent that the work OF installation will
begin within the next few days.
This will make the third process OF
extraction to be tried by the division OF
geology Of the conservation in its work on
oil shales. Two processes which have
been tried are the h!gh-temperNture dis
tillation process and the wet process
The new process win be a digestive low
temperature process which. it is claimed
by its inventor, will extract a large
quantity of oil per ton than the dry dis
tillation method. Other advantages are
also claimed for it.
J. r. Reeves, assistant on the survey
who is investigating the oil-bearIng pos
sibilities of the New Albany shales OF
Indiana, and who has already done much
field and laboratory work in connection
with this line of investigation. will have
charge Of the new experimental process
for the department.
Previous experiments show that many
of the shales of Indiana possess an oil
content from twenty-fiv to ifty-five gal.
Ions of oil per ton of shale. Because OF
tie rapidly diminishing supply of petro
leum and the increased demand for oil
for power and fuel, such Investigations
are rendered imperative.

THRIFT IS NOT
MERE SAVING
JudiciOus Spending Necessary
to Keep Wheels Going.
BY S. w. STRAUS

President American Society for Thrift.
The mistaken assumption often is
made that thrift means mere saving
money. 1t Is true that money saving is
| one of the chief fundamental functions
Of thrift, but a little thought will con
vince one that it is just as important
| that we exersise prudence in the con-
servation Of our time, and conserve our
health and energies as it is that we lay
aside money.
There must be a very marked distinc-
! ton drawn between saving money and
boarding money. The miser is a menace
to progress. There are business concerns
that have failed to make advancement
because of the misery or ultra -conserva-
tive practices of their directing execu-
tives. The same is true of towns and
communities.
There must be spending to keep the
wheels of industry turning. Just at the
present time in this country there Is
widespread wave Of retrenchment which
has brought about the closing down OF
factories to such an extent that between
two ana three million working people are
out OF employment
While this Is a temporary manifesto
ton which viii right itself In the course
of time. it serves to Illustrate the ire
mendous effect which the mental atti-
tude OF the public may have on business
conditions.
True thrift brings progress botn per-
scnaIly and as a nation.
The saving or earning of money at the
serious sacrifice of ones health is not
real thrift. To save money alsu throU.sn.
the development oe haoits tnaU are so
narrow and misery that they arrest our
development and make us a stumbling
block in the pathway of our feuowmen
is not within the meaning Of real thrift.
True thrift is a character tonic.
The man VINO INDUCES in these prac-
tees not only grows more Independent in.
a material way, but is better equipped,
mentally, morally and physically to take
his rightful plare in the progressive afz
fairs Of the world.
Every possible encOura cement should
be given those who are starting out this
new near with the determination Of saw
Ing money and getting ahead, but they.
should bear in mind ut the same time
that thrift it not limited merely to the
saving of money.
Progress, success and happiness VIII
come to those who husband their fnan-
cial resources. II they are equally thrifty
in matters of time, health and energy
their. progress and success will be pro-
pOrtiOnately more satisfactory.
Generally speaking, the saving OF
money leads to the development of kim
dred virtues, but it is not amiss to bear
in mind continually that real thrift
means vastly more than simply putting
money aside for rainy day.

REPORT OF BOARD.

In a report to the Board of Di-
rectors of the Los Angeles Cham
Der, the excursion committee said
in part:
"Obregon is the one outstand-
ing, dominating personality in
Mexico today, and he gives
promise of an administration that
will unite his people, rplift the
lower classes, attract capital to
the magnificent resources Of the
country and protect the for
cigner in his rights. 1t is a CO.
lossal undertaking. which faces
the new Government, but already
a good start has been made in re-
habilitating the country. We
would suggest that every effort
be put forth to establish all help
full relations and to this end
would suggest enlisting the activ-
tiles of the social and civic forces
of Southern California in a def
mite program. A new era is dawn
ing in Mexico. The next decade,
we believe, will see great progress
and development in our neighbor-
ing republic"
A third chamber Of commerce
to aid in this movement is that of
San Francisco, which on January
8 sent a large delegation on, a
three weeks tour of Mexico. The
Governments of the United States
and Mexico have waived passport
regulations. v. H. Pinchney and
c. H. Lloyd, who represented the
San Francisco chamber at the in
auguration, made all the arrange
ments for the reception of the
visitors and were aided in every
way by the Obregon administra-
ton. .

gave his versions OF the Incidents
which led TO the recent controversy
over his efficiency and character.
Bruce, addressing the School Welfare

the Psrentss' League. Several mem
bers OF this organization were In the
audience. but there we're no disturb

wild cheers greeted Bruce's deciar-
alton that he never would voluntarily
retire from the school service. He
bitterly scored the Parents League
for it's attempts to oust him and de-
clared this body was deliberately

also a "sinister combinat ion"
Bruce reviewed the charges made
against him by the Parents League
and others. He cited the Moens case
and stated Moens was admitted to the
public schools on the recommenda-
tion OF DR. John Van Schaick. for

many months before by T. E.
Jackson, president of the Dallas
Chamber of Commerce, and his
associate directors, who were
hosts to Obregon and delega-
ton of Mexican business men
during the season Of the Texas
State fair last fall. The good
will, confidence and commercial
ambition that were stimulated by
this gathering Of business inter
ests of two countries came in the
expressions that terminated the
utterances of Mexican speakers
at the celebration in Mexico
City. Don Fernando Leal No
vclo, president OF the Federated
Chambers of Commerce Of the
Republic of Mexico, symbolized
the efforts Of the Dallas Cham
Der of Commerce in fostering
commercial friendship with Mex
leo, as the cornerstone in the
new order of relations between
Mexico and the United States.
$50 out of it comes the encour-
aging thought that the currents
of international business are at
last freed from the distractions
that for a time have impeded
the progress of closer COM
mercial Union between the two
countries. On the one side there
is an appeal to the United States
for the use of it's experience and
wealth in the development of
Mexico's latent riches; on the
other there is a candid, unselfish
desire to assist a war-torn coun-
try in reclaiming the lost prog
ress of decade and opening a
fertile empire in the development
of which Mexicans and Ameri-
cans alike will prosper"

FROM LOS ANGELES.

The Los Angeles Chamber Of
Commerce sends this report for
the delegation from that city:
Zone vice president and three
directors Of the Chamber of Com
merce Of the United States were
among the 1,64O Americans at
tending the inauguration of Pres
ident .Alvaro obregon in Mexico
City. Business men of all the
Southern border States and sew
ersl Of the Middle Western States
were represented and shared gen
erously in the warm hospitality
of the Mexican Government and
the people.
"Nine special trains carried
Americans to the capital city Of
the southern republic, the largest
being one of eleven cars filled by
1853 representatives Of the Los
Angeles Chamber of Commerce.
Six days were passed in Mexico
City, each of which was filed
with some sort of entertainment
provided by the Government.
President Obregon impressed the
Americans most favorably by his
Democratic demeanor, straight
forward manner and evidently
deep appreciation of the response
bilities of his high office. His
more enthusiastic American ad-
mirers hailed him as the 'Roose-
welt of Mexico and expressed the
belief that he is the one man who
will be able to unity all factions
and give his country a peaceful
administration, at the same time
maintaining q friendly attitude
towards American interests"

Industrial Building and Business Firms
The Log of Organized Business;
A Friendly Visit to Mexico

American business in the South
and West is working for better
relations with Mexico and a
notable feature of the inauEura-
tion of President Obregon was
the presence Of delegations from
the Dallas and Los Angeles
Chambers Of Commerce and Of a
committee Of the United States
Chamber Of Commerce.
The Nations Business. official
organ Of the United States
Chamber Of Commerce, has re-
ceived from each of these bodies
an account of the visit. Both
reports emphasize the need and
the likelihood Of better business
relations between the neighbor-
ing countries.
The dispatch from Dallas says:
"The spirit of international
amity that characterized the in
auguration of Alvaro Obregon
as President of Mexico, especially
as it was reflected by the con-
tact Of commercial interests,
created a vivid and, we believe, Q
lasting, impression upon the
Americans who participated in
that important episode in the
republics history. The delega-
tions from the United States re-
turned to their homes firm in the
belief that ther. is no organic
difference in the two peoples to
preclude the forging of strong
commercial bonds between them.
Personal contact which the oc-
casion permitted among repre-
sentatives of the business inter
ests of both nations illustrated
their ability to work hand in
hand for the glory of common
commercial destiny. ..
'In emphasizing this spirit and
promoting its development the
United States Chamber Of Com
merce performed a signal serv-
ice. The presence of Messrs.
Clause, Gillett and Butterworth,
the guests of the Dallas Cham
Der of Comerce on the mission,
who as unofficial representatives
Of the National Chamber re-
Elected the business sentiment of
the United States, bespoke the
interest which American busi-
ness has in the progress of Mex

viii Not Continue Par.
ley With Germany
Without Allies
(Associared Press)

Paris, April 22.-French bfficial
circles expressed disappointment that
the American reply yesterday to
Germany's request for mediation
was not a categoric refusal. Re
grets were mitigated, however, by
satisfaction that America was dis
playing an active interest in the re-
'parations question. Secretary Hughes
is understood to have assured Am
bassador Jusserand that the United
States will not continue conversation
with Germany except in accord with
the allies.
Washington, April 22.-President
Harding late yesterday declined to
accede to the request Of the German
government to act as mediator with
the allies on the question Of repara-
tions and to set the amount the Ger
man people are to pay.
The United States agreed, how
ever, that IL the German government
would formulate promptly such pro-
posals regarding reparati0ns "as
would present proper basis for
discussion" 1t would consider
bringing the matter to the attention
of the allied governments in a man
ner acceptable to them, in order that
negotiations may speedily be re-
sumed."
