AS TO OIL IN MISSOURI
Statement by Geology Professor
About State Conditions.

Editor the MissouTidn: The time
seems opportune to call attention TO oil
prospects in Boone County as they are
known to geologis;s who have investigat.
ed the region. In an article published in
the Columbia Daily Times Of August q,
1917, E. B. Branson. professor Of geology
in the University Of Missouri said. 4
think that there is practically no pros
pect of getting oil in Boone County. In
the same paper the state geologists OF
Missouri, Oklahoma and Iowa expressed
their agreement with that opinion; c. :.
Marbut, formerly professor Of geology in
the University Of Missouri, said. mo
statement from me is necessary, | have
read Mr.. Branson's statement and en-
dOrse everything he says" II. NJ. Scott,
geologist for Eastern Gulf Oil Company,
said, Doctor Branson has very adequate.
iy presented the reason why oil or gas
in paying quantities need not be expect
ed in other formations at the proposed
location"
About fifty men, who had their train
ing in geology in the University Of Mis-
souri,, are geologists for oil companies
and one or more of these men is en-
ployed by nearly every one Of the best
known oil companies. Several Of them
have been sent to foreign fields by their
companies. but not one has advised his
company to try for oil in this part cf
Missouri.
None of the big oil companies drills III
any locality without their geologists hav-
ing advised test. Some of the best
geologists are employed by oil companies
and Missouri, as an oil producing Tt
giOn, has probably been considered BY
every big company but always unfavOr
ably.
Nearly every day letters cone TO the
geological department of the University
Of Missouri inquiring about oil prospects
in some part of Missouri and in nearly
every letter the statement is made thai
some geologist has reported favOrably on
the region.
People who contemplate investing in
oil prospects in any locality in Missouri
should get expert advice free by writing
to the State Ceologist of Missouri, ROlla.
Mo-, for his opinion.

cultural College for half a year before
coming to Columbia.
Since Hsieh's arrival in this country
in the later part Of January this year. he
has visited California. Boston, New York,

bia becomes his final choice. He intends
to stay here for at leas, one year.

A coliery used to be called coal
cry. Coal-meter is an old name given
to one who superintendent the meas
uring of Goals. Coalstone is a species
of hard, Opaque. inflammable coal,
which does not soil or dirty the fin

and can be cut. Brown coal has been
found at Bovey, Devonshire and on the

Toned name for scuttle Gas light can
be traced back over POO years A Mr..
T. Shirley, in 1869, attributed a burn

time Mr.. Clayton procured gas by
diStilling coal. Practical lighting,
however, came very slowly. In 1882
a Mr.. Murdoch illuminated his house
with gaslight, and very poor show it
is said to have been. He lived at Re-

WHAT TO SEE in
PHILADEPHI

In the fullest sense of the word,
"The Devil" to be presented at the
Stanley Theatre the week of April
4th, is a Photographic triumph-an
inspired screen masterpiece
classic 1t achieves many things;
it marks the photoplay debut of Mr.
George Arliss who has steadfastly re-
fused to appear before the camera.
1t presents him in his greatest role
and one that was the sensation of two
continents.
Gripping, tense and powerful is the
story; vivid, cOlorful and highly Wis
iONary is the production. This pic
ture is one entirely worthy of the di-
rectorial talents of James Young. 1t
is his crowning achievement. Never
before has he had such a wealth of
splendid materials to work with;
world famous, record smashing story;
star par excellence; a featured cast
and the best of artists to design his
sets.
Mr.. Arliss is one of the greatest ac-
tors on the speaking stage. He is
mentioned in the same breadth with
such artists as Maude Adams, David
Warfeld, Mrs. Fiske and the Barry
mores. Before attaining stardom
many years ago, he supported Mrs.
Patrick Campbell, Blanche Bates and
Mrs. Fiske. When he played "The
Devil on the speaking stage he ere
ated furore and ever since then his
appearance in a new play is an event
in any American city honored by his
visits. This was demonstrated re-
Gently in Philadelphia when he was
selected as the star to open the re-
iuvinated Walnut Street Theatre.
The supporting cast is an eXcep-
tional one to say the least. Sylvia
Dreamer needs no introduction to
photo-play goers She starred in
many successful features. Herein
she is spirited, aIluring, coquetish and
fascinating as Mimi, the artists
model. Lucy Cotton of Turn to the
Right" and up in Mable's Room of
the speaking stage and leading lady
of many silver sheet productions is
beautiful, sincere and extremely APP
pealing as Marie whose truth over
comes the Devils evil. The artist
is splendidly portrayed by Edmund
Lowe who has devoted his time be-
tween the stage and screen, playing
on the stage with Maude Fulton,
Leonore Ulrich and Florence Reed
and on the screen with Clara KIM
ball Young, Norma Talmadge, Dor
othy Dalton, Katherine Macdonald
and others.
The program of added attractions
surrounding "The Devil is of the
usual Stanley standard. Nothing
more need be stated.
