Solving New YOrk's
 Housing Problems
Apartments, Hotels, Pri- vate Houses, Being Erect ed Under New Plan.

New York, Feb. 2.-Hard on the heels of the housing Investigation which showed that this city needs thousands of homes, comes the wave of cooperative building which bids fair to solve New York's most vex- atiouS problem. Thousands of fam flies here are living in two and three rooms and the Health Department is constantly In dread that some fearful epidemic may break out owing to these conditions. Everything, from bigh prices to strikes and hard times, has retarded normal building and 1t was inevitable that cooperative building should be the result. The Thompson-Starett company, builders, has offered to join the movement and will soon commence erecting blocks of inexpensive apartments at absolute cost. Scores of better-c1ass apart apartment houses are planned and building, in which each family will own their suite and eventually pay small taxes instead of high rents. The Hotel Commonwealth now building on the block between 55th, 56th streets, Broadway and Seventh avenue, is the most important cooperative enter prise in the city. It will ne the rooms, and Is being built by more than 2,600 persons, all owning a share in the property. Their number is rapidly increasing and it is expect ed that the hotel will have at least T. 5000 owners by the time it opens in June. 1923. Cooperative home build ing has taken 2, spurt in practically all the suburbs Of the city, particular ly those on Long Island, in Westches- ter county and nearby points of New Jersey. In addition. Staten Island, long neglected even though a borough of Greater New York, is going ahead with several projects and others are planned. Strange as it may seem. CO.,
 operative apartment houses are great favorftes in these suburbs where their owners may enjoy the advantages hi T1nd wi good service and comfortable living of an up-to-date apartment.

SALT IN WELLS SENDS
DOWN MEXICAN OILS
Seaboard Declines 8 IL Points
-Two Others Six.

A report. confirmed in Official quar-
ters. to the effect that salt water had
made its appearance in several oil wells
In Mexico owned by American COM
panies caused heavy selling of the oil
shares in the New York Stock Ex-
change yesterday. Mexican Petroleum.
which recently attracted attention by its
spectacular rise. broke 11h points. and
Pan American Petroleum declined
points.
The wells affected belong to the
Mexican seaboard Company and the
Mexican Gulf Oil Company. The
shares of the Mexican Seaboard Com
pany are traded in on the New York
Curb Market ana declined 9h points
on publication Of the salt water news.
President Harris Harmon Of the
Mexican Seaboard Oil Company issued
the following statement to stockholders:
"An official notification was received
to-day from the company's Mexico office
to the effect that salt water had made
It's appearance in the Toteco-Cerro Azul
Field. The wells belonging to the Mex
lean Seaboard Oil Company that have
been. affected are No. and No. 10.
Both of these wells are deep wells from
which the company has been drawing
heavily In anticipation Of the fact that
they would be the first to show salt
water No. 2 is on the southern divid-
ing line between Toteco and Cerro Azul.
No. 10 Is on the eastern limit OF the
structure.
The appearance of salt water was
not unexpected. The wells affected are
offsets to the wells of the Huasteca and
Mexican Gulf companies similarly af-
fected. and the three companies have
been drawing heavily on the deepest
wells for the major part of their re-
quirements.
THE Mexican Seaboard Oil Company
has eight producing wells in the Toteco
Field north Of No. and west Of No. 10.
These wells are shallower, being higher
on the structure, and have been held In
reserve against this contingency. These
wells are unaffected and should produce
n large quantity Of oil. In the area In
which these wells are situated drilling
is still going on to determine the west
ern boundary of the field. 1t is from this
western area that we have for some
time anticipated getting our greatest
piOAuSlAOI.
Past experience has shown that by
reducing the output OF oil from wells
in which salt water has made Its ap-
pearance a large quantity of oil can
still be obtained from these wells. This
was shown in the Naranjos Pool north
of Toteco. Salt water appeared in this
pool in December, 1920. There were
approximately eleven shallow wells out
OF the forty-nine producing wells In this
field. These eleven wells have produced
to date approximately 52.000,o0o bar
rels since salt water appeared in that
field and are still producing approx
mately 100000 barrels a month. II IL
our desire that the stockholders OF Mex
ican Seaboard Oil Company shall be
kept informed Of new developments Of
any description"
j. NJ. Danziger. vice-president Of the
Mexican Petroleum Company. says that
the appearance Of water in Toteco will
have no effect on Mexican Petroleum.

medicine in this city, medical authori-
ties to-day expressed high praise for
the treatment used--the insulin serum

G. B. Bantin and G. +. Best, two Uni

"The insulin. treatment taken from

estimated million sufferers of diabetes
in the United States to-day.
