MAY BE O|L UNDER COFFEE COUNTY AS SURVEY MAY SHOW
Reorganization of Prohibition Unit Defined By State- ment Given Out By Com
 missioner Haynes
By HUGH w. ROBERTS Washington Bureau The Age-Heraid
 800 Davidson Building

Washington, July s. Especially There may be oil in Coffee county. according to statement issued to- day by the geological survey.
 The statement is prepared with the utmost care to the end that no one might be deceived into believing that oil in abundance exists under the surface.
 Although the investigations" says the statement, which were made by C. W. Cook and J. A. Gardner of the survey, have not been sufficiently detailed to delimit the boundaries of the upfold or to enable geologists to make recommendations of suitable places for test wells, they call at tention to the favorable Holdings of the strata in this region.
 Favorable structure, however is but one of the several essential con- ditions for oil to be gathered in com mercial quantity. and even the pres ence of an absolutely ideal anticline would not necessarily indicate that an oil pool existed beneath it. Any drilling in southern Alabama or Flor Ida is merely speculative. Only those who can afford to lose should indulge III WiAuCdltinE III IufS general re- zion.
 Carefully Mapped
 This upfold of the strata in Cof- fee county. when carefully mapped may be found to be favorable for the emulation of oil or gas and even preferably in Geneva county. The strata involved in the uplift In Coffee are those of the lower part of the Wilcox group which are considera- bly lower in the geologic column than the oldest beds exposed in the Geneva area, referable to the Clai- borne group.
 Moreover except along the stream courses, the Claiborne beds are COW cred by an overlap of younger sands. In order to penetrate the Cretaceous deposits, which are regarded as the only probable oil containers in this region, it would not be necessary, therefore, to drill so deep in Coffee county as in areas further south."-
 In an effort to find oil in com mercial quantities. experts of the survey, it is learned, are experiment. Ing in various south Alabama coun- ties. Since the development of the Texas and Oklahoma oil fields, de- mands for experts of the survey come daily from every section of the country, and cannot be supplied.

the use of them" as an adjective u
not limited by any means to those

BEAUTY FOODS

A SIDE from the question Of which
L u foods make for fat or for slen-
derness, is the question of which foods
make for beauty. Certain fruits and
vegetables do have a direct effect upon
the looks, and the woman who is try
ing to improve herself would do well
to use them frequently in her diet.
Any food containing olive oil is
usually good for the complexion.
Olive oil itself is splendid for the
complexion, but it will make fat and
must be avoided by women who do
not wish to gain. The young women
Of Italy have wonderful skins, In
deed, they are world famous for the
soft, creamy tint of their skins.

box with his nose or paw and see
what would happen.
So over they went to Tins house
and told him about their discovery.
"We did not want to be selfish" said
Mr.. Fox, $50 we came for you to share
In the fun Of seeing what is In It."
Tim was very much fiattered when
he heard this and off he went to see
the mysterious box.
Mr.. Fox, Tim Coon and Billy Pos
sum all sat still and looked. Not one
Of them wished to touch 1t, although
from all sides there seemed to be
nothing that looked like a trap.
"What are you all looking at?"

garlic, are used more than any other
foods In their diet. The oil brings
flesh, the wine makes blood, the gar
lie acts as a general cleanser for the
system.
Olive oil can be included In any
diet, the pleasant way being as
mayonnaise upon salad. Wine is not
possible In every state and no one
with an American taste would eat
garlic. But an occasional dish Of
small onions, creamed or stewed, will
make an excellent substitute. Car
rots are also beauty foods; they en-
rich the blood and purify IL. Spinach
Is good for the complexion, for 1t
purifies the blood. Apples tone up
the whole system, orange juice is
laxative and grapefruit has a health
full acid. Toast Is better than bread,
for all the indigestible parts Of bread
are removed by the second baking.

FOUND UNDER A TREE


MO ONE ever knew how it came
~ there, but after 1t was all over,
Mr.. Fox, who visited the farms often
er than any of the others, thought
that some one had a picnic In the
woods and left 1t under the tree.
1t was a box, not a very large one,
but large enough to attract Mr.. Fox
as he walked through the woods one
day under the bushes and back of the
trees.
He, being a very wise and cautious
fellow, did not touch it, but ran over
to Billy Possum's house to tell him
about it, and Billy, being very curl

box was under the tree.

Years
Ago

King Henry of England fixed the original yard
measure in an arbitrary way. He decreed that
yard should reach from the tip of a mans nose
TO the end of his thumb. Later on, because some
men had short arms and others long ones, the
standard yard stcik was adopted, but even then
it depended on the salesperson whether or not a
customer got really accurate measure.
A test made recently showed that out or forty
four pieces of ribbons purchased at various stores
throughout the country only piece meas
ured correctly. Think Of it One correct meas
urement out of forty-four, slightly more than
per cent.
How exasperating to calculate just how much
cloth you'll need for dress and then, after
