GIVES REASONS
FOR ASKING BIG
APPROPRIATION
GeolOgist Declares Losses In
Cured by State Through
Present Policy.
UNABLE TO GET RESULTS

Declaring that the usefulness of the
division of geology Of the Department
of Conservation cannot be extended to
any great degree unless the prevailing
misery policy of the Legislature is dis
pensed with, DR.. W. y. Logan, state
geologist, has issued a statement setting
forth the reasons why a larger appropri-
alton should be made for the depart
ment.
DIR. LOGans statement follows.
The division OF geology Of the State
Department Of Conservation hopes that
the Incoming Legislature will aid in the
further development of Indiana's mineral
resources. Although this division dur
ing the eighteen months of Its existence
demonstrated It's ability to accomplish
a large amount of work with a small
appropriation, yet it was hampered in
It's work aud was unable to get the re-
suits of its Investigations before the peo-
pie Of the State on account OF the lack
of funds for publication.
ECONOMIC LOSSES
SUFFERED BY POLICY.
\ miserly policy toward a scientific
bureau Of 4 States government is not
to be commended since such a policy
often results in great economic losses
To illustrate, while our report on oil and
gas was lying in manuscript form wait
ing for the necessary few hundreds OF
dollars for its publication, prospective
oil wells were being drilled at an ex-
pense of thousands of dollars on land
which this report showed offered not the
slightest promise of oil or gas Such
losses are Of almost daily occurrence and
the total preventable loss for a year
would furnish the division with an Ade-
quate income for ten years OF service.
The work undertaken and in contem-
plation by the division of geology in
cludes:
complete survey of the coal re-
sources Of Indiana The high price paid
for coal the last few years has greatly
increased the interest OF the public IN
the coal industry, and. as a result, the
division has been importuned by many
for more definite information regarding
this resource. Some work on such
survey is complete. 1t will be pushed as
rapidly as available funds viii permit.
STUDY OF OIL ROCKS
SHOULD BE MADE.
A systematic study Of oil bearing rocks
of Indiana, with q view OF determining
the crude oil content. by-products, dis
desiTability Of finding sources other than
petroleum for fuel and lu5ricating oils,
the division Of geology has started an
investigation Of the olI-bearlng shales
of Indiana, with a view of determining
their possible utilization to augment the
diminishing supply OF petroleum prod
ucts. These Investigations will require
a great deal of work IN the field and
laboratory, but an excellent beginning
has been made.
To protect the rights OF Indiana in
the coal underlying the nsvigable rivers
the Wabash and the Ohio, a survey
should be made to determine the amount
Of minable coal underlying the Wabash
and belonging to the State in Sullivan,
Knox and Posey Counties. and under the
Ohio in Posey, Marlborough, Warrtck
and Spencer Counties. The minable coal
under the Wabash in Nigo County be-

100000 tons.
A survey OF the principal building

in order TO be Of service to one of the
States leading industries. This district
produces more than 10 per cent of the
llmtstone used In the United States for
building purposes and such producer
is entitled TO all the aid the State can
render. Before the geological survey OF
this district can be completed satlsfa =.
torialy, the topographic survey which
was abandoned for lack of funds must
be completed.

the clay-working industry should be

al STATUS
Is IMPROVED,
SAYS OFFICER
nlnissiOn, Although Practi-
eally Nullified, Still Fill
ing Requests.
.LENTY IN THE STATE

" lille the activities of the Special Coal
. Food Commission have been prac-
ally nullifed by a recent injunction
anted in Federal Court by Judge A.
Anderson TO the Vigo Coal Products
Ampany, the commission still is filling
uests for coal and many tons have
IN supplied through emergency or
S issued to those communities where
was scarce. Jesse E. Eschbach,
irmln. said today.
According To Mr.. Eschbach, the coal
uation in Indiana has improved about
per cent, and the usefulness Of the
omission. as far as meeting crises in
coal situation is concerned, has
retically been dissolved.
There is plenty of coal in Indiana at
resent to meet all demands on op-
YTators and dealers, Mr.. Eschbach de-
felnred. He says it should not be neces-
sary for the commission to have to fill
emergency orders, but added that in
every case where help is requested, the
commission would do its utmost to I'LL
the demand.
CONTINUING To WORK
WITH BODY.
Most Of the coal operators and dealers
with the commission, as they signideJ
they would do, when the Federal Court
order was issued. Most Of the dealers
and operators are selling their fuel At
the commissions price also, Mr.. Eschbach
said
All requests for emergency coal have
been placed with. those operators and
dealers who were willing TO aid the COM
mission.
Two reasons are assigned by Mr.. Esch-
bach for the easing up Of the serious
coal situation in the State The first IS
the extremely warm winter weather
prevalent through the season. It has not
been necessary to keep fires going full
force for any length Of time, and conse-
quently the family coal piles have not
diminished as rapidly as usual
The other reason is an anxiety on the
part Of the operators and dealers who
have not been cooperating with the COM
mission, 10 get right" with the people,
and to let their prices down to where the
ordinary consumer can purchase it, he
said.
A third reason for the large supply
of coal that is now being thrown on
the market is the fact that most mines
have been working ar almost full time
for several weeks. This has permitteG
them to I'LL their contract orders and
leave q surplus on hands which has
AAAen thrown on the open market, with
- result all needs are being supplied
end the price has tumbled a bit
It is considered unlikely that legisla-
ton frightening the life Of the coal com
mission wiz be introduced in the com
ing session of the Legislature The use
fitness Of the body having passed and
with warm weather not many weeks
away, it is said there viii be no further
use for the commission.

INSTRUCTORS WANTED

A chance to cash in on army training received by men who rose to commission in the ranks during the war is announced in an order sent today to all recruiting officers throughout the U. s. A number of Sergeant h. structors are needed for h. fantry and Field Artillery to be enlisted for the Regular Army, but detailed at once to duty with National Guard units where vacancies for in structors exist. Men of long service as non-commissioned officers especially those qual flied as recruit instructors, and former enlisted men not yet re-enlisted are particu- larly desired for this duty.
 The newly adopted system of Army Schools has taken so many "non-coms" for in- st1uctors in trades or educa- tional subjects that the quo ta available for military in- structors in National uGard units is depleted and it is necessary to go outside the army and recruit the latter class direct from previous service men. Only men quail fled to take sergeant's ranks are wanted. The pay is $45. per month with addition for rations, quarters and heat which will bring the total income to about $120.W per month, besides uniforms and equipment, which are fur nished by the government:
 In sending out the recruit ing instructions Major Gen eral P. c. Harris specified that men selected should have the necessary soldierly qualities and be qualified for the arm of service concern ed; their general appearance physical condition, habits, reliability tact and tempera- ment must be such as to make them creditable repre- sentatives of the Regular Army in civilian communi- ties.

SCHOOL NOTES

** *%** *a**+ ***
 The most active relief or ganizations agree that the need of the moment is to pro serve the rising generatio7 n Europe who will starve to death without outside aid, until they are able to be talk en care of by their own coun
 nies. The work planned is not religious, but humani- 5arian; the money acquired by this appeal will buy food to feed the millions of father
 ess and motherless children af Europe. Hoover, the hartman of this committee states, "I would rather have the American flag implanted in the hearts of the children of Europe, than flying over any citadel of victory" The
 school children all over Am- erica have done their share towards this relief. In Sew ard the school children have given $S3.O5. The pupils of the sixth, seventh and the eighth grades, Miss Schwarz teacher, collected $16.5O' to- ward helping the starving children of Europe. In many cases, the money represent ed some sacrifice made. Pat ricia Ray very gladly gave the money ($5) she received as a prize at the New Years Masquerade Ball. Tke pupils of Miss Nash's room contrl- buted S5.50; Miss Triplett's class. $500 and the High School, $500. Now the school children would like to know what the grown-ups of Sew ard have done? Have the grown-ups sacrificed any picture shows or have they gone without any smokes i'll order to help feed these little foreign children who are starving?
 The first semester has passed and those not tardy, and deserving a half holiday are, from Miss Schwalz's classes, Marit Eide, Marjor- ie Neville, Thelma Tallasen, Sam Eardly, Lawrence Me- Neer and Harry Reville; the ones from Miss Nash's class, Sigrid Rosness and Myrtle Tallasen; from Miss Trip lett's room, Eleanor Kreft- ing and Lillian Petersen and from the High School, Wil- lard Shellhorn.
