Instead Of making small replicas of

They have eyes for the world Of child

Just now mothers are concerned

Douoh in watch-Maklno.

Two barrels of flour, or almost 400
pounds, are used every week in max
ing watches at a well-known factory
in New England, which turns out from
1000 to 5000 watches a week. Since
a baker usese about three pounds OF
-four to five loaves of bread, it follows
that for every watch the maker uses the
equivalent of almost a third of loaf.
The flour is made into dough, and the
dough is used to handle the screws,
rivets and other small parts. Each
man in that part of the business has
a lump of dough always at hand; and
when he wants to examine screw he
jabs the piece of dough on it. Then,
turning it over, he has a good chance
to look at it with his Matchmaker
microscopic eyeglass. Many of the
screws are too minute to pick up
easily with the fingers, and many
more, though ,arge enough to be
picked up, would be so covered by the
fingers or the forceps as to be al
most hidden from sight

CHILDREN'S MANNERS

Whatever you do do wisely and think
Of the conseGuences.-Lester Romanoun
THE minute child begins to eat
with the assistance of its own
small hands, the first lesson in
table manners must begin. There is
little excuse for the disgusting table
manners of some children. They are
due, really, to the fact that the mother
or other caretaker finds 1t less trouble
TO let the child search aimlessly for
its small mouth than to insist that 1t
locate 1t daintlly, surely and without
experiment.
A very small child can be taught to
are beneath contempt. Patiently show
it how to hold its spoon and cup, and
help it to eat slowly. The lesson is Il
hard one for the teacher as well as for
the child. But perseverance is the
only way. And once the child has
learned to eat daintily, the sloveny
ways of unframed children when they
are eating will be as distasteful to it
as you would find them in grown
person.
Remember that children ape the
manners of their elders. For this rea-
son the greatest care should be used
in the choosing of nursemaids, govern
esses or any one else who comes In
constant contact with the child. Many
well known men have talked, when eX-
cited to their dying day in the brogue
or burr of their childhood nurses.
And who can doubt that much of the
gentleneSs of character and strength
of spirit Of Robert Louis Stevenson
were inspired in him by the dear Old
nurse to whom he dedicated his
"Child's Garden of Verse?'
The initiative method is the easiest
whereby IL child may acquire its man
ners. The small boy who adores his
gallant father seldom forgets to take
off his hat and stand in the presence
of women. The small girl who looks
up to her mother with affection is the

er. Children often affect the graces
or their elders in a most laughable
way. But don't laugh at them. They
VIII outgrow this priggishness. 1t Is
only cnse of their Initiative acquisi-
tion of manners.
1t Is the vogue Of the day for small
girls. up to the age Of ten or twelve,
to curtsy when they meet their elders.
After that they, like small boys. stand
and shake hands. 1t Is also proper for
children to be quiet and unobtrusive
when they are in the company of
gr0wn-ups.
Some of the set rules of children's
manners, like these, they cannot learn
by imitation. But if they are courte-

take an interest in acquiring these lit
tie superficial manners that will make

continuing the work of development. At the present time the company has small refinery and is supplying the surrounding country with a large part of the gasoline, distillate, kero- sene and lubricating oil used. Five wells have been driven by this com- pany to a depth of from 700 to 1000 1 feet, which produce from five to ! forty barrels of crude oil each day The refinery secures from 6S to 72 per cent of gasoline and dstillate from the crude petroleum, demonstrat- ing that the product of these wells is equal to the best petroleum secured anywhere in the United States, and far superior to most of the oil pro- duced anywhere
 Twenty-Five miles inland from Ka- talla are the Boring river coal fields, which are now being developed, and which promise to make this field an important factor in solving the Alas ka and Pacific coast fuel problem. At several points up the Katalla river from the town oil seepages have been found, which indicates that the oil pool of this section is an extens- i've one, or that several such pools exist. The formation of the Katalla river country is intensely folded, and is interspersed with many oil seepages, and is regarded by geo. logists as very favorable field for oil production. Most of this section is heavily timbered.
 Beyond the Boring river, comes the Nuckawak country. The Nucha- walk river about thirty miles long, runs into the Boring river near the latters mouth. Oil seepages and sulphur springs are to be found near the head of the stream. The oil here is of much lighter color than the Mirror Slough oil at the Martin river. Samples have been tested which runs 449 Baume gravity Seepages occur quite frequently over the entire Nuchawak region, and are found principally at the bases of small domes.
 Going south from Nuchawak we come to the Yakataga beach where gold is still washed out of the sands of the beach every summer. There is a line of seepages along the whole beach for at least eighteen miles. One on Johnson creek pro-

dip of from 20 to 45 degrees. In this formation shale sandstone predomi- mates, with some limestone and a few intrusions of plutonic rocks. The oil obtained in this section of the field is of light green color having paraffin base. It has a light lubricating value, and tests AZ to A Baume
 Eight miles farther down the coast is the town of Katalla, served to a great extent by launches and small boats from Cordova. The town is on the west side of Katalla bay, at the mouth of the Katalla river. This sec tion is very similar in formation to that of the Martin river section. Here is the oil producing section of the field. The Chilkat Oil Company, owning tract of 14O acres, which were patented prior to the proclama- tion withdrawing oil lands from en- try, has sunk several wells, and is

duces over a barrel of oil day. The oil is similar to the oil of the the katalla district. The Yaka- taga district contains virtually all the indications of oil that appear in the oil districts iu the United States. The structures are similar to those of California. The dips are pronounced and considerable faulting and other thrusts appear, due to the folding caused in some prehistoric age by volcanic faction.
 The oil found in the Cordova, Ka- talla, Yakataga fields is of a very rich quality. Only in India has oil been found which equals it in the value of it's by-products The Cordova Chamber of Commerce has on dis play samples of the twentynine by- products that are recovered from this oil, only three of which, as was said before, are now utilized. The great distribution, seepages be- ing found over an entire area no miles long, leads to great specula- tion as to where the pool will be found, and promises an extensive de- velopment. During this season there will be at least three companies drilling in these fields besides the local company at Cordova. The Chil- kat Oil Company will drive more wells on it's property at Katalla. The Alaska Consolidated Oil Fields, with which Bart Thane of Gastineau channel fame is connected, will drill also in the Katalla field, and the Alaska Development Syndicate, a combination of Alaskans and out siders, with officers iu Seattle, with which ahe connected such well-known old-timers of the north as Dr. w. H. Chace and M. J. Sullivan, both of Cordova, is planning to drill in the Yakataga field. A good portion of all this oil country has been located under the provision of the oil leas- ing law. About twenty prospecting permits have already been issued in these fields to claimants, and others

 OiL Fields Pr0misin0

The following article was written by Edward F. Medley for the Path finder, official magazine of the Pio- neers of Alaska:
 The known oil fields of southern Alaska, revealed by seepages of oil and gas, extend in an almost un- broken line from Yakutat on the east to Cold bay on the west, or from longitude 139 to 161, but due to un- favorable legislation comparatively little has been done in the way of de- velopment except in the vicinity of katalla, at the eastern end of the field. At this point were commenced the earliest efforts at opening up the wealth of petroleum, and but for the withdrawal of the oil lands of the country from entry in 1903 by presidential proclamation this field would undoubtedly have been large producer.
 The first thing that strikes the

will be issued in the spring. Finally it may be said that 1921 will see the beginning of a new period of pros- perity for Alaska with development Of it's various oil fields, and in this movement, the development center ing around Cordova will have no small share.
 Owing to the present unfavorable harbor facilities at Katalla, which makes the landing of the larger steamers at this place uncertaiu, Cordova is the staring and outfitting point of those desiring to investigate the katalla and Yakataga fields Sub- stantial and seaworthy launches make frequent and regular trips between Cordova and Katalla and the travel is becoming heavier and heavier as the fame of these fields becomes known throughout the country. Upon the provisions of the new oil leasing bill, which went into effect on Feb ruary 25, 1920, the entire district is now open to exploitation. Outside capital has already become inter- ested in the field, and the indications are that in the near future this sec tion will be one of the greatest oil producing fields in the United States.
