lnitted to flow wild" until the gas
pressure diminishes enough to enable
controlling the well. This may re-
quire days or even months, says Mr..
Elliott. There being no commercial
use for this oil-saturated sand, it is
removed from the immediate vicinity
Of the well or otherwise disposed Of as
valueless.
Throughout many Of the Oil districts
of California, particularly in the San
Joaquin valley, noticeable feature is
the large cone-shaped mounds near
each "a the wells where sand is pro-
duced with the Oil.
Sand Rises With Oil.
In wells. where the sand is loose and
fine-grafned and agitated by a high
gas pressure, naturally a greater
amount rises to the surface with the
oil. In the Sunset field, wells with
high gas pressure have produced more
than 5,1OG tons of sand in two to four
years, representing nearly twO-thirds
Of their gross production. In the
Midway field there is well producing
about 800 tons month and wells near
it with an output nearly as large. In
the Kerne River and West Side Coal
1ngs fields the Oil is of heavy gravity
and, with the aid of an agitator such
as air, large amounts of sand are lift
ed to the surface. Each we'll yields
ten to twenty-five barrels of oil daily;
the proportion Of sand carried with it
varies between 20 and 60 per cent, and
probably averages 40 per cent of the
gross production. The amount of sand
per we'll. because of the small Oil pro-
duction, is small, but owing to the
great number of wells in these dis
tricts the aggregate amount is large.
Where wells produce only a small
amount of sand the so-called sand
boxes are frequently used. The sand
box ts a long, narrow, open trough
closed at the ends and fitted with
battles running crosswise to the flow.
The Oil flows slowly over the sharp
battles, the sand and emulsion settle

United States Has Surprising
Number of IIIiterates, Say Con-
gressionaI Investigators.
PAINT Disturbing PICTURE
Millions of immigrants In Country Can
Neither Speak Nor Read English
Committee Finds American
Teachers Are Incompetent.

Washington, D. C.-The United
States of America is one of the hard
est places in the civilized world In
which to get a good education, In the
opinion of a committee Of the house
which has been investigating the Ques-
ton.
A fourth of the men of fighting age
in the United States are illfterates,
many children never get adequate
schooling, many of the teachers are in
competent. There are millions Of i'm
migrants in the country who can nei-
Their speak nor read English, and many
negro children never see the inside of
a schoolroom. Thousands Of schools
are closed because no teacher can be
obtained for the miserable salaries Of
fered.
This disturbing picture OF educa-
ton in America is contained in the
report Of the house committee On edu-
cation on the TOwner bill, and album
dant proof of it's truth is contained in
the hearings which were held in con-
nection with the bill.
This report is surely one of the
most startling indictments of our civ
ilization which has ever issued from
Capitol hill.
Facts Which Convinced Them.
Here, briefly, are some of the facts
which brought the congressman to this

Works of Art, Stolen by
German Army, Reappear

LondOn.-NumerO works OF
art, heirlooms and jewels stolen
during the war by the Germans
in occupied territory are gradu-
ally coming to light and in many
cases finding their way back to
their owners. The Ruman1an
papers publish the story OF a
cache of stolen works of art
which the police have found In
the Pennsylvania home Of the
father of q onetime Hungarian
officer.
Ninety-two we'll known paint
ings, eight vases and two onyx
clocks were found at the home
Of q mine manager, who said
they had been given him by his
son on his return from the war.
The son was an officer in the
Hungarian artillery, and had
fought on the Cambria front.
The objects dart were found
to have been taken from the
chateau of the Prince de Chi
may, near Cambria, and were
returned to their owner. Some
of the pictures, including works
Of Joseph Berger, Millet and
Van der Helst had been hacked
out of their frames and badly
damaged.

Long Chain of Family
GrandmotherS Broken

Arkadelphia, Ark.-A chain of
grandmothers without parallel,
in this section, at least, has been
broken by the passing of Mrs.
Emeline Eliza Rifles, 81.
Before her death, two small
children of Mrs. Eliza Hanson,
her great-granddaughter, had
six living grandmothers of whom
two were great-great-grand-
mothers, two were Preat-grand-
mothers and two were just plain
grandmothers. The oldest Of the
Hanson children is 315 years of
age. Thus there were at one
time five living generations with
less than seventy-two years
separating the youngest from the
eldest.
The Hanson children had be-
side their six grandmOthers,
nine uncles, four great uncles,
two great-great uncles, four
great aunts, two great-great
aunts and forty second cousins,
but no first cousins.

Grady's Latest Exploit.
The "boy detectives latest exploit
was the capture of Eddie Norris.
Three young, giggling Chicago girls,
accompanied by three men, one of
whom was Morris, went to a dance
hall. One of the girls laughed at Nor
ris. This angered him.
"I'u show you how to laugh at me-"
he said, and drew revolver. The
girls screamed and the proprietor
called the police. Patrolman John Null
len answered the call. Mullen hurried
in. the door and looked around for
trouble. He didn't have q chance for
his life. A revolver was pressed
against his back, fired, and two quarts
of blood, which a brother patrolman
gave him in a TRANSMISSION operation,
couldn't save him. 1t was the most
brutal murder Chicago had known in
years.

Grady was put ON the case. The

Barrels Could Be Saved.

one Company Says Loss Between Well
and Storage Tank Is 10000 Barrels
MonthIy-oiI Lost in Seepase
Along the bitches.

Washington.-The great demand for
petroleum, resulting chiefly from the
increase Of oil-burning devices ana
and motor-driven vehicles, forces pro-
ducers to take advantage OF every
opportunity to increase it's production
by seeking new sources OF supply
and, what is more important, TO use
new methods for saving more OF the
Oil brought to the surface than has
been retained heretofore. AS in Otner
kinds of mining, it is thought possible
that a large additional recovery can
be obtained at a profit by working
over the wastes in certain fields ana
by using more economical methods Oh
production in the future, says A. X.
Elliott, assistant petroleum engineer
bureau of mines.
A survey Of the oil districts Of Cali
fornia was made by the bureau IN
order to ascertain whether the visible
masses of wasted Ofl-bearing SANDS
would be a profitable source of supply.
From the data collected it is estimated
that 1853, 100 barrels of oil valued at
more than $3,5OO,OOO, could be. OBJ
tanned from the sandpiles about pro-
ducing wells and from the outcrop-
pings in the vicinity of the fields. Also,
many times that amount of Oil scat
tered over nearly the total Oil-produc-
ing area might be recovered from
seepage.
Wasted Through Seepaae.
A paper issued by the bureau OF
mines in 1914 said: "It is probable
that 10 or Is per cent of the total
gross production Of the state has been
wasted through seepage or evapora-
ton" This represents a loss of 49,
100000 barrels of oil yearly. Probably
One-quarter to one-half of this amount
seeps into the ground.
AS a possible means Of recovering
large amount of oil from these wastes,
the following should be considered,
says Mr.. Elliott: (I Recovering oil
left in the sand that it produced with
the oil; (2) retaining the Oil that
seeps into the ground through waste
in production; and 60 mining and
treating the material in oil-bearing
outcrops and asphalt beds that occur
in certain sections of the state.
In the early days Of a productive
field, the rush of gas into new well
frequently sucks oil and sand with it

quate means Of holding in the well

Is Hard Place to
Get an Education

According to the census of 1910,
there were in this country $4,000
persons ten years Of age or older who
| could not read or write, and the COM
mittee does not believe that conditions
| have improved since then. In addition
to these, there were 100000 persons
who could not read or write English,
making total of 5000 900 in the land
OF the free who were no more qualified
to exercise the right Of the franchise
than so many Australian bushmen.
The surgeon generals report showed
that OF the men called to service be-
tween the ages Of twenty-one and thir-
ty-one, nearly 25 per cent were practi-
cal1y tlliterate. This means that a
fourth of the young manhood of the
| country, which is it's main reliance in
peace and in war, is to all intents and
! purposes in a state of barbarism. For
mer Secretary of the Interior Lane es-
| Inmates that the annual cost of illit-
eracy to the United States is 1926, $780,
No. The director Of the bureau of
mines states that if all of the miners
could read and speak English a thou
sand lives year would be saved.
The committee emphatfcally refutes
the idea that flliteracy is confined to
the South, and to out-of-the-way Sec
tions. 1t shows that while Georgia
has $4,000 illiterates, New York has
100000, and that Pennsylvania has
more Of them than Alabama. Neither
does the idea hold good that the IL
literates are chiefly negroes. There
| are million more white illiterates
than colOred.
OF the 100000 foreign-born in the
United States, the committee says that
100000 cannot read or write English.
and that 100000 cannot read or write
any language.
Luck Decides Education.
The committee says that getting an
education in the United States is
largely matter of luck, that the op-
pOrtunfty is not equal.
I'm the South large number Of the
negro children never see the inside of
schOOlhouse," it asserts. ''In the
North there is hardly city that has
| adequate school facilities for all its
children"
The committee finds that in physical
education our schools have failed
even worse than in mental educa
| ton.
The provost marshal generals re-
port revealed the startling fact that
more than one-third of the men ex-
amined for military service in the late
war were disqualified by reason of
physical disability" it reports. ''It also
stated that 80 per cent Of these young
men could have qualified had they been
taught the simplest rules of hygiene
and health. It was ignorance, gross
ignorance, that in the vast majority
Of cases was the cause Of their incom-
petence."
The committee finds that American
teachers are utterly incompetent, that
100000 Of them are less than 20 years
old, that 10000 of them have no edu-
cation beyond the eighth grade, that
100000 of them have less than a high
school education, and that 100000 Of
them have no professional training
whatever. It finds that the average
salary paid teachers in this country
is less than the wages paid scrub won.
