BELIEVE OIL MAY BE FOUND
UNDER SUPPOSED GAS DOME m
VICINITY OF OLDSMAR, FLORIDA
Rome Was Formerly a Shell
Mound-Citizen Writes En-
Enthusiastically of Possibilities.

OLDSMAR, Fla, June 26.-The discov-
cry Of genuine gas dome near oldsmar
by practical oil geologist has made oil
men more enthusiastic than ever.
This dome was formerly considered a
shell mound, and in the old days it was
used as a point Of lookout by the IN
dams, and later on by the Spaniards and
pirates for similar guard purposes.
When the oil excitement started around
oldsmar, this prominence was called a
salt dome, which is a good indication of
oil; but an examination made by an oil
geologist settled the argument, for he
pronounced the verdict that it is a gem
uine gas dome, which means more than
a salt dome. w. e. Bolles of oldsmar
took DR.. D. L. Bower Of Tampa to the
place and DR.. Bower unhesltatingly gave
his decision that it is true gas dome.
At Point Philip.
II is across the bay from Oldsmar. on
Point Philip. named in honor of Count
Odette Philip.
Ancient records tell about DeSoto, the
explorer. and say he landed on the west
coast of Florida, "at the mountain"
This dome is the only elevation which
answers the description, and so the claim
that this is the genuine landing place Of
the great DeSoto.
II Feet High.
The dome today is about seventy-seven
feet high from the water level in Tampa
Bay, and the sides rise very ABRUPTLY,
unlike any Florida shell mound you ever
saw.
At the base on the north side, the
waves have worn away considerable
sand and earth which had slipped down
in the course Of years. and now there
are hundreds of niger head" stones
exposed to view.
They are about the size Of mans
head, and come up from great depth,
perhaps 1,500 to 1000 feet. because they
are brown limestone and brown sand
stone, and these stratas are found deep
IN the Oldsmar oil well.
indicates Gas.
This indicates there was tremendous
pressure OF natural gas ages ago at
this location, and the gas forced its way
up with sufficient power to rupture the
rocks and blow them to the surface Of
the earth.
This is technically called a gas blow
out, in oil mems vocabulary. 1t is con-
sidered a sure sign OF mineral oil and
natural gas. After the great pressure
was relieved, dirt sand, and some of the
stones slipped back into the crater and
filled 1t up. Undoubtedly more gas has
accumulated there, with enough in
oil gusher in case oil exists nearby In
commercial quantities. The oIdsmar well
is two miles northeast Of this gas dome.

Killed Beef.

PARGUE. June 25.-(Cable Letter.)-
One glass Of beer is brewed in Czechoslo-
vakia today when three glasses were pro
duced before the war. The reason is
heavy taxation, high prices for materials,
and the high rate of exchange on the 10
cal crown in the currencies of Germany,
Hungary and Austria. The pre-war to-
tai was 100000 hectonters; for this
year it is estimated at about 1000, 600.
Foreign export has ceased; German brews
are competing with the home product,
and a vast amount Of barley is seeking a
buyer.
U. S. Meat Cheap.
The price OF fresh meat is so high in
Czechslovakia that American frozen,
sailed and canned meats are being sought
to relieve the stringency. The govern
ment has called for the American pro-
duct at prices so per cent lower than
those prevailing for fresh meat.

IS
GREATLY in FAVOR
New Home Owners Desire
Space to Inset Some
Furnishings.

Both architects and home build
ers are coming more and more TO
realize the value of built-in furni-
ture. The architect realizes that it
gives a certain finish to the house.
The chief built-in is the cabinet
partition between kitchen and dim
Ing room This very often COM
prises the entire wall. 1t Is both
artistic and convenient. 1t saves the
maid or housewife many steps a
day. The glass panelled doors open
from either room. Food may be
served in the kitchen and placed
through the cabinet into the dining
room Likewise, the dishes and
food may be removed from the table
and pushed through to the kitchen
side of the cabinet. When the doors
are closed the cabinet makes a per-
fectly good china closet
The next most popular built-in Is
the bookcase. Many builders place
closets underneath. This built-fn
readily lends itself to room decora-
tion as curtains are often hung in
front Of it which may be drawn
over the books as desired.
Flreside built-ins are increasing
In all the newer houses. The "ingle-
nook may have a long bui.t-in
bench or two side built-in chairs,
or two side built-in cupboards.
For the bedroom. bpilt-in dressing
tables and dressers are increasing
in popularity. The clever architect
can have several convenient cup-
boards about the house. Little cor
ner colonial cupboards with a
hooded top are in especial favor.

ART IN CHOOSING
DRAPERY FABRICS
Principles of Combination
Should Be Observed in
Furnishing.

Those careful souls who would
never dream of keeping their pet
Angora and Pekinese in the same
cage, or who quail at the sight of
mahogany armchair next to a
walnut settee, often use no shade
OF discretion in the combination of
drapery fabrics.
Most home furnishers have learned
the principle Of color combination
in draperies fairly well. but fabrics
of utterly estranged families are
only too frequently found pushed
into intimacy, willy-nilly.
There Is only one rule to observe
as regards the choice OF drapery
fabric combinations. Just remem-
Der that like attracts like" The
next step is to decide what like"
things are in the fabric realm.
Richness Of texture is one cri-
terion. Satin and chiffon are a good
com bination. but cretonne and chif-
fon are not. Neither are satin and
taffeta a good combination. because
neither offset the other. Both are
stiff. heavy fabrics. Velvet over
curtains with ruffled chiffon under
curtains make a splendid type Of
drape combination.
Silk over curtains demand a fine
net or gauze underneath. Some fur
nishers try silk combination with
cretonne or cotton scrim but the re-
suit is only q cheap effect Light
sunfast does not combine with
glazed chintz. Chintz Is good with
cotton velvet. heavy satin. or a
good sateen with a sheen.
Silk velvet may be used with a
ine linen and cretonne may be used
with a cotton velvet. Rep combines
well with cretonne as does a fine
scrim.
Here are the rules in general:
Combine heavy. medium and light
weight fabrics II they have some
thing in common as regards the
tissue Of weave.

The subject Of period styles in

There is no question as to the
willingness OF the manufacturer
and the dealer to join in the con-

taste and real appreciation Of 1T
ness and color harmony In home
making. or rather to broaden and
amplify what already has been so
well started.
The desired result cannot be OBJ
tained by separate efforts. First
must come the architect, who Wis
ualizes and interprets and then pro-
vides concrete form. Dovetailing
into this expression Of utility ana

Home Efficiency

Woman Expert on Home Tells
OF Task Confronting
Housewife.

Household efficiency, declares q
woman who Is regarded as an au-
thority on the subject. consists of
studying each motion that goes into
every bit of housework until one
has developed a standard and most
economical way to do every task.
Then the housekeeper should ar
range a working schedule for each
day. asserts this home engineer, as
she styles herself.
The next step Is to study the ar
rangement of the kitchen, the work
shop of the home. and the hnal step
Is the selection Of the most efficient
tools.
Each kind of work has It's own
special tools. They should be
grouped together to save steps and
time. Utensils and electrical ap-
pliances should be selected because
they fill q real need. are well made
are easy to keep clean. are proper
material for the purpose intended
and are good looking In appearance.
Household labor savers should nj
naturally into one or more Of the
following classes: Labor savers,
time savers. step savers and drudge
emancipators. The electric clothes
and dishwashers are examples OF
the latter, the electric cleaner 10 Q
