MRS. M'CREDIE LECTURES
BEFORE WOMAN'S CLUB
Representative of State Board o
Health Points Out Danger Sig
nails of Disease

The Civics department of the Wom-
ans club was fortunate in having for
its March meeting Mrs. R. c. McCred-
lie, member of the state board of
health.
Mrs. McCredie began her talk by
telling of when her boy came home
from France. She then went on to tell
how the boys had to be protected from
social evils, so that they will be clean
and vigorous of mind and body and
should be fit to carry on that great
cause. for which they were drafted.
"To make the world safe for demo-
cracy."
She went on to show how the per-
centage of diseases such as measles,
small pox, chicken pox is very small
compared with social dangers, which
are exceeded only by tuberculosis.
If it is so necessary for soldiers to
lie all they should be how much great
er is the necessity in every day life
lIidG OuI 1utuiS SlciLSNS:
should be made fit to cope with the
dangers of life so that they too, may
carry on, and make the world safe for
Democracy.
She made an appeal to the mothers
of today to teach their children to be
clean mentally and morally, so that
they who died on Flanders Field died
not in vain, and because this country
on account of its high ideals and so
cial standing is the best land in which
to foster the best in men and women.
Her lecture was followed by NOV
ing pictures showing the development
of life from the smallest molecules
that live in stagnant water on thru
fishes, flowers, butterflies, birds and
animals. The chick in the egg was
shown in detail from a few hours af-
ter being placed under the hen until
Matching, also the four stages of the
butterfly's metamorphosis from the
egg until the chrysalis bursts into the
butterfly.

more volatile components Of the oil
are given off, that is, they evaporate
and asphalt the base or residue is de-
posted.
"Our surveys is the locality of the
discovery disclose a clearly defined
anticliie, a structure which is essen
tial for the storage Of a commercial
quantity Of crude oil. Consultation
with best authorities convinced Mr..
Barrett that conditions were decidedly
favorable for the discovery of a COM
mercial quantity of oil.
"The discovery gas well brought in
while drilling for water across the
river in the Rattlesnake hills, was
burning at the time Mr.. Barrett first
discovered the asphalt outcroppings.
The vicinity later became the scene
of activities in Benton County oil ex-
plorations and at comparatively shall
low depths, gas in abundance has
been brought in.
at is generally conceded by emil
nent authorities that the gas field Of
Benton county, Washington, is being
fed from a deposit of oil, while the
asphalt, the residue or base of the
crude oil Of the west, is a positive in
dication of the existence of deposit
of oil.
"tThis company has long time leas-
es in Benton, Franklin, and Walla
Walla counties and while their major
operations will be carried on in the
vicinity of their asphalt occurrence,
the stockholders will be protected in
the districts where the operations Of
others might be also successful.

ing out our structure, in the shortest
possible time and doing our borings

penditure to determine whether or not

ting an end to the hindrance to
traffic caused by committee activi-
ties.
Mr.. Madsen drove through the

their patrol system was hurting
their cause. Afterwards he held
a conference with Sheriff Newell,
District Attorney Dorsey and w.
X. Yarrow, adviser of the striking
oil workers. The subject Of the
was not given out.
