experience to do the work. The whole Is sheltered from the weather by a glass canopy.
 An American flag of huge propor- tions hangs down over the rostrum at Washingtons side. This Is made of a sheet of copper with the colors enameled on the metal.
 In addition 10 the figure of Wash ington 1t Is designed to place in the spacious crypt underneath typical figures representing all the differ ent peoples which enter into the composite race now styled The Am | ericans."
 These statutes of uniform size are 10 be supplied by each of the groups who maintain their old national or ganizations in this country for social and business purposes. Accompany l ing these statues there will be placed for each nationality a bronze tablet in their native tongue the quotation from Washington's speeches or writ ings which most appeals to them; also some one typical thing from l their former country which most signally typifies to them the atmos- phcre and scene of their natural 1 habitat
 Thus the crypt will provide perm aHe0l museum Tn WnlCn NlSllOTS VIII 1 find the most unique collection in the world. Such will be it's historic value l ana snignficance that. is the years and ages pass, it may become known as the actual shrine of liberty for all the human race.
 Another phase of this section of the plan Is seen in the splendid build l ing upon which the colossus has it's right arm supported as upon ros- trum. This building is an actual reproduction ef Independence hall in 1 Philadelphia where the American i Constitution was adopted.
 Inside this building will be the home of the custodian and such other adjuncts of the plant as may be de- cided on as the details are finally worked out. In the body of the huge colossus will be a handsomely fitted room, some 20x25 feet in size, and in l his head a smaller chamber perhaps Is feet in diameter. These chambers properly lighted and ventilated can be used as points of observation. and for collections of rare objects, views, etc, in which visitors will find in- tense interest.
 Tn the crypt also will be arranged bronze tablets immortalizing the names of the founders and supporters of this great civilizing enterprise.
 The legend upon the base of the colossus in gold letters, three or four i feet high, will be in these words;
 Let every American aspire to the l stature of this man.

inal ideas by artists, architects, engi- neers and financiers
 Cyrus E. Dallin. one of the great est of living American sculptors with N nom 1 have frequently discussed the project, has written as follows about it under date of March 12:
 The story of the great colossus of Washington is indeed thrilling. It all sounds so like a fairy tale and so wonderful that should it be con summated. it would surely put Bir- mingham on the map. creation of these gigantic proportions would without doubt attract the world, and it would certainly be a great honor 60 be connected with such a patriotic enterprise"
 1t will be a still greater honor to the men and women of this com munity who establish this colossus with all it's ramiflcations carefully worked out.
 The plan is to make the figure ap- proximately 20 times the size of Washington, as he was in life. That will mean a height of about 125 feet, with all the other proportions exact, which are just ,as easy in design of this size as in smaller one, given the time and the men of skill and

ROY MASSENGALE
BREAKS PROMISE,
MUST GO TO JAIL
Confederate of Shipman
Agreed to Turn States
Witness and Receive
Life Sentence.

OKMULGEE.--Goi back on his
agreement with JAMES Hepburn. coun-
ty attorney. that he would testify IN
the Cy Dennison murder trial if he
would be permitted to plead guilty to
the murder of Policeman Bod Burden
and be given sentence of life inn
prisonment, Roy Massengalc will face
trial within the next 10 days and the
county attorney will do everything
within his power to send him to the
electric chair.
Massengale made known his refusal
to carry out his agreement made sew
eral months ago, when the county at
torney called him into his office last
Saturday in making final preparations
for the Dennison trial.
I'm going to fight my case. Mr..
Hepburn. and I'm not going to testify
in the Dennison trial" Massengale
said. The statement took the county
attorney by surprise for he was eX-
pecting Messensale to be the states
star witness and tell the story of
Dennisons alleged connection with
the robbery plot, that was told by his
confederate, Calvin Shipman, Friday.
Massengale said his friends had
raised a sum Of money with which to
employ counsel and W. II. Crump of
Muskogee. one of the states most
noted criminal attorneys, will have
charge Of the defense, he said.
As soon as he was informed of Mas
sengale's intentions relative TO fight
ing his case, Mr. Hepburn ordered
that his trial be set about ten days
after the completion of the Dennisor
trial.
And in his argument TO the jury
in the Dennison trial Saturday night
the county attorney emphasized the
fact that he would make every effort
to get the death penalty for Massen
gale when he goes TO trial.
1t was because of AIassengale's
agreement with the county attorney
that he did not go to trial Immediately
after his confederate, Shipman, wa,
tried and sentenced TO life term ir
the penitentiary last June. He haC
been held in the county Jail here fol-
the sole purpose Of testifylns in tho
Dennison trial.

months they were there, worked on a
block of 10000 hectares Ga hectare
equals 20 acres). They had to travel
through territory which permitted
passage only on narrow trodden trails,
and with them was a train OF several
hundred natives who carried the lug

member OF the party carried high

attack by wild animals which abound
in the area. Garrett carried .405.

Twins and Triplets on
Location Preferred to
Use Perforated Casing

Drilling of twin wells and trip
let's on locations in the proven area
of the Hewitt field is fast becoming
the policy of operators there in pref
erence 10 the use of perforated casing
to get production from the various
sands which exist in the territory. The
Carter Oil Company is beginning n
campaign of this nature, while many
of the other large producers are con.
tinuing this method which they in.
augurated some time ago. While the
sands in the Hewitt area would be
numbered as ten or eleven provided
that each layer without reference TO
thickness of shale between is consid-
cred, the producers figure that there
are three distinct sands of very pro-
life nature, considering as single
sand, streaks which are divided by
thin layers of other formations.
The advantages of twins and trip
let's as compared with use of perfor-
ated casing are best explained by
George II. Mcintyre, Of Tulsa, gener.
al superintendent of the Skelly OH
Company, who has been keeping in
close touch with the Hewitt field and
is perhaps as well versed in its pres
en- status and possibilities as any other
operator there. While the production
may be had through the perforated
casing for n brief period, he states,
eventually the mud and other forma-
ton outside the casing plasters off the
sand and the only production which
is actually obtained is that which is
coming from the bottom sand on top
of which the casing is set. The occur
renee of such conditions has been
proven by tests Of wells following
30-40 days after their completion
Another reason advanced in favor Of
the twins and triplets is that event.

years. the Hewitt wells will be shot
to stimulate production, which Will not
be q difficult matter where the well
is producing from one sand on top

will be practically impossible where
but one we'll has been drilled and per.
forated casing used 10 get production
from several sands. That is. in ref.
erence to the well with perforated
casing. II will be impossible TO shoot
more than one sand, and that will
be the sand on the bottom.
At the present time the greatest
