NJ. L. Leahy of Wichita Kan, has
discovered what he considers an en-
tIrely new way of putting babies to
sleep. Leahy Is young married man
and has a three-months-old baby. The
little one has been automobile riding
several times and Leahy has noted
how quickly the motion of the car and
the purr of the motor has induced
sleep.
Recently the baby was put to bed
but instead of going to nOdand as
well-regulated baby should. insisted on
crying. Happy thought. the father
procured their vacuum sweeper, in
stalled it under the crib and watched
results. It worked. Baby went to

"ROBIN HOOD" THE GREAT
AMERICAN OPERA

The short life of the average play,
the passing fame of the average star,
has always been the rub of the the
atrical business. Each year brings
forth is endless crop of successes
of the century,, hits of the age,
"biggesJ sensation in twenty years,
and where are they all TO-DAY! Echo
gives no answer. neither does the

daily newspaper Like Shakespeares
poor payer, they have ''strutted ana
fretted their hour or two and then
vanished into the great limbo of the
forgotten.
When, therefore, a play goes on
year after year, showing to bigger
and bigger audiences; when its
score and songs continue to outsell
a dozen times over all the ragtime
and jazz "hits of the age, it is
matter worth special note. We re
fer to robin Hood, written some
thirty years ago by Reginald de Kov

Manager Ralph Dunbar will present
on Thursday, Feb. 18th at the
Wheaton theatre at Weiser, Idaho.
Originally produced by the fam
Gus Bostonians, it has been contin-
ually before the American public.
And today it is still breaking box
office records, still selling out on
the first day of it's seat sale, still
bringing laughter and romance and
happiness to thousands. ooh
Promise Me" is the biggest seller of
any single musical composition, just
as it was the first year of the operas
composition.
The great American novel has not
yet made its appearance, unless
tom Sawyer" fills that niche; the
great American play has still to be
written. But the great American
opera is here and has been here all
these years. We use the word
setting of this place is England, and
its hero the famous Saxon outalw of
Sherwood forest. For it was writ

produced in America and sung by
American singers. Robin, himself,
might be an American with his stur-

later out into the greata wild West. |

the same courageous spirit that is |
the breath and life of Robin Hood |

And in its comedy element, where |
are there such equally famous fig,

to Shakespeare's plays to find their
equal in Falstaff and Malvolio. Even |

The Origin of
Oil and Gas
(By w. A. BartIett)

There seems to be difference Oh
opinion among scientists as to the
origin of oil and gas. The subject
involves two questions, first, the
original materials from which they
are derived, and second, the process
by which these original substances
have been changed into oil and gas
There are two generally accepted
theories-the inorganic and the Or
ganic. The first theory is based on
the idea that oil was a part of the
original elements from which the
earth was formed, and deposited al
metallic carbides in the center of the
earth. When subjected to heat, gasses
were formed which carried the hydro
carbon substances to the surface OF
the earth where they were deposited
as a gas or liquid oil in any porus
rock or sand.
Organic Theory.
The organic theory is most gener'
ally accepted today among practical
oil geoligists. That is that oil >and
gas comes from animal and vegetable
organisms which existed in an inland
ocean which some two or three NIL
lion years ago was known to cover
a large part of this continent. Evil
dence that such an ocean did exist
is found today in the fossilized re-
mains of fish, shells, sea-weed, and
marine plants, which are often pick
ed up on desert hills and far above
any recent water level.
At that time the climate, even IN
this part of our continent was warm
and tropical, as is shown by the fos-
sils of tropical plants which have
been buried in the sands and shales
and turned to solid rock. A swarm
ing mass of sea-weed, slime, fish,
snails, eels, clans, sea-serpants, and
water bugs, some as small as a match
head, on up to animals larger than
elephants, lived in and about this
tropical inland ocean.
AS there were many land changes
in the earth's crust at that time,
large quantities of sand were washed
down upon this mass of animal and
vegetable life. They were buried
under tons of sand, and then the
muddy waters above them laid down
layers of mud and clay, which form
ed a new muddy bottom under the
water, and upon this new form of
animal and vegetable life grew,
which in the course of ages was
again buried under sands and muds;
until finally this ocean cut its way
out through various river valleys
to the ocean; and these alternating
layers of sands and muds (Which
hardened into shales) dried up and
left the animal and vegetable life
of the ocean entomed under hun
dreds or thousands of feet of sand
and shale.
ACCOTuluS W INC VI 6dhlC ehSOi''
our oil and gas deposits were dis
titled by natural heat and pressure
from the animal and vegetable life
of that sea. This seems reasonable
as oil has been extracted from sea-
weed taken from the ocean, and
whale oil has been in commercial use
for many years.
Note: In my next article, l will
attempt to show how these differ
ent layers are classified into differ.
emit ages, and how they are bent into
arches and folds, which causes the
oil and gas to travel through porus
rocks.
