MINING ASSESSMENT WORK
DATES CHANGED IN SENATE

Congress yesterday passed the DILL
formerly supported by ex-Congress-
man f. L. Roberts and other repre-
sentatiyes of Nevada, which provides
for changing the mining assessment
year from the calendar year to the
Governmental fiscal year, ending June
70 The bill must pass the senate and
be signed by the president before 1t
becomes law.
The last Congress passed Dill
changing the date for forfeiture OF
claims for failure to do assessment
work for this year only from January
l to July /. and the new act would
make that a perma nent date. The ad-
vantage of this, as urged by advo-
Gates of the bill, is that II ends the
year at a period when II is possible
to do the work adyantageously, and
not only that. but 1t Is possible to dc
two years assessment work during
one summer-one year before July l
and the other after that date

ODD|E WORKS FOR
DISABLED SOLDIER

Senator Tasker l.. Oddie Is active
in procuring changes in the Sweet
bill. calculated to be of greater bene-
fit to disabled veterans. as reflected
in a recent communication sent by
him to Senator Reed Smoot, chair
man of the senate conferees on the
measure which provides for the crea-
ton of veterans bureau TO promote
vocational education among the SOL
diers. Two important changes pro-
posed by Senator Oddie are set out
by him In a communication to Senator
Smoot, OF date July 25, as follows:
I'm proposing to place under the
veterans bureau that portion of the
work of the federal board of voca
tional education which provides for
the cooperation of the states In the
promotion of such education In asri-
culture and the trades and indus
tries; for cooperation with the states
in the preparation of teachers of vo-
cational subjects, approved February
%. 1917. as amended. there is placed
upon the agency created exclusively
for the purpose of dealing with the
problems of our disabled soldiers an
additional burden and responsibility
1t should not be called upon to bear
Another important duty with
which the federal board for vocation
al education is charged by law is the
administration of the act to provide
for the promotion of vocational re-
Mobilization of persons disabled in in
dustry or otherwise and their return
to civil employment approved June
2, 1920. All mention of or provision
for the continuance of this work
which Is for the benefit OF disabled
and crippled civilians, is entirely
omitted from House resolution 6611
as passed by the senate for what rea-
son l have been unable to ascertain
1T Is respectfully suggested that
as the work above mentioned differs
SO fundamentally from that for which
the veterans bureau is created, such
work should be placed under the jur-
isdiction of some govern ent agency
having responsibility for the discharge
of duties which are more nearly re
lated to the subjects involved. per-
haps the United States bureau of edu-
cation.
IN the interest of our disabled
soldiers, and in view of the great ne
cessity for leaving the veterans bu-
reau free to deal with their special
and peculiar problems TO the fullest
possible extent. | feel that failure
to invite the attention of the senate
conferees to this situation would be
an omission on my part to do every
thing in my power to speed the work
of caring for them in the most eff
fective and efficient manner. ~ a.
Il also feel that Congress should
not unnecessarily hamper, by a. fail.
ure to make proper provision there
for. the successful work which Is be-
ing accomplished under the two laws
above referred to-"

was well enough to get up the next
morning. and when l phoned to Mr..
Van Britt he sen his car out to the
majors to take me down to the office.
Just before l left the house, Mrs.
Sheila waylaid me, and after telling
me that | must be careful and lot
take cold in the burnt hand, she put
in another word about the boss dis
appearance.
II want you to remember what l
said last night. Jimmie. and not let
the others talk you Over into the be-
lief that Mr.. NOrcrOss has zone away
because he was either discouraged or
afraid. He wouldn't do that: you
know it, and l know 1t. W. are his
friends, you and l, and we must stand
by him and defend him when he isn't
here to defend himself"
1t did me good to hear her talk
that way. l had been sort of getting
ready to dislike her for letting the
boss get In so deep and not telling
him straight out that she was a mar
ried wOman and he mustn't; but
when l saw that she was trying to be
just as loyal to him as was, 1t pulled
me over TO her side again.
Though the boss disappearance was
now four days old, things were still
in a sort of daze down at the rail-
road offices. Mr.. Van Britt, being the
general superintendent and next In
command, had moved over into the
his shorthand work. They wouldn't
let me do anything much-I couldn't
do much with my right arm in a
sling-so l had a chance to hang
around and size up the situation. II
you want to know how 1t sized up,
you can take it from me that 1t was
pretty bad. People all along the line
were bOmbarding Mr.. Van Britt with
letters and kilograms wanting to know
what was going to be done, and what
the change in management was go
ing to mean for the public, and all
that. You see, Mr.. N9rcross had laid
out a mighty attractive program in
the little time he had been at the
wheel, and now it looked as if 1t was
all going to be dumped into the ditch.

LAID BIBLE SCENES IN CHINA
Native Artist Had No Conception Of
Any Other Land Outside Of
His Own.

In north Fukien province there dwelt
an artist who painted pictures on silk
for the gentry of his little village. The
people in this secluded hamlet nestled
amid the hills, had never seen autOmo-
biles or airplanes, nor did they take
the long journey to Shanghai to watch
the great steamers come In laden with
merchandise and messages from the
ports of the world. But they knew the
words of Confucius and LaO-tse and
they lived and died with simple dig
nifty as their fathers had done before
them. One evening the artist, who
had been working all day on a me-
mortal portrait, strolled out into the
dark, cool street TO refresh his tired
soul, writes Elsie f. Well In Asia Mag.
azine. The tiny white church Of the
foreign god beyond the tea shop was
brilliantly lighted. The artist stood
a moment In the open door. The young
missionary was talking most eloquent
seemed to be telling stories that were
as fascinating as those recited In the
bazaars. Almost in spite of himself
the artist sank unobtruslvely into an
empty seat. Fol- the first time he
heard ION of the beautiful old stories
of the Bible, which have held the peo-
pie of the West enthralled for 1900
years. And the artist returned to his
home and made pictures Of the story
of Noah and the food, and of the par
ables Of the lost sheep and of the prod
igal son and of many others that were
in the book of the western missionary.
But he had never heard of the pales-
tine. To him Noah was Chinese, and
the lost sheep belonged to a farmer of
his province and the prodigal son
might well have been a dlssolute youth
Of his own village.

Rified Oil Pipes.

The principle of the rifled gun Is
applied to pipes for pumping oil. The
crude oil of California is mostly thick,
viscous and difficult to pump through
long lines. Heating cannot be sue
cessfully applied to a long pipe, and
mixing with water results In an emul-
sion from which the oil cannot be
readily separated. The best means of
dealing with these viscous oils is by
means of a pipe rifled on the inside,
so that the oil, mixed with about 10
per e n Of water. is caused to whlrl
rapidly. The water. being heavier than
the oil. seeks the outside and forms a
thin film. which lubrlcates the pipe
for the passage of the oil. The friction
Is thus so far reduced that the oil has
been pumped easily through a line
thirty-one miles long. The water and
the oil come out entirely separate at
the end Of the line.
