Geology and Biologists

A. the oncoming meeting OF the
American Association of Biologists,
"ropitiously held In the state Of
oklshoma. the oil and gas hub of
,he universe, cordial welcome will
ns extended by the oil and gas pro-
duccrs TO those professional men OF
distinctive high character, whose
scleunfic attainments justly qualify
mem 10 assume the broad title OF
professional geologists.
There are many who are Of not
ablg credit to the profession. They
are men who scientifically examine
and determine natures sign board
spproyimations as being favorable
or unlavorable for the investment OF
large sums OF money in the drilling
for oil and gas. These real geolo-
g.gts are too honorable TO become
coIusve partners with lease graft
ing examinations. or to collide with
those commercially intent on bend
ing curves OF favorable structural
outlines 10 stimulate speculative in
duoements.
The exalted geologist is an ex-
aIted citizen. His high sense Of
honor and professional duty abhors
ANYTHING that might be Contributive
10 the loss and misery OF his fellow
man. 10 is he who deprecatcs that
Fanything geologically. in unproven
territory. may constitute 40, 90 or
Is per cent chance Of success. His
consultation with clients carries with
Il admOnition against over conf
dence so sadly had by the unsophis-
ucated public.
The best biologists do not claim
more than 10 to rs per cent pre-
caution or advantage In strictly
wildcat territory, through reliance
on technical geology, as against the
old method of the practical oper-
ator following more or less So
called creekology.
The practical oil operator some-
times finds oil in synClines--an ut
terly condemned territory from the
viewpoint OF the technical. profess
aonal gcologist.
Until the science Of geology may
be susceptible OF far greater eXaCti-
tude, professional advice must be
rendered with great care. and re-
ceivcd with great caution and ad-
monitlon on the part OF all con-
