LETTER FROM LESLIE PRESCOTT
TO HER YOUNGER SISTER,
ALICE HAMILTON

DEAR LITTLE SISTER:
| have just had letter from Vera
Stokley You know she started for
London a day or two after my we'd
ding to join her family.
She tells me that your little friend
Betty is writing Il book and that it
has the weirdcst plot which involve 5
string of pearls. | have an intui-
tion that you two girls have in some
way patched up story about my
pearl beads.
You seemed rather surreptitious
and mysterious about them when
YOU gave them to me. Now that I
have had time to think over them I
have become rather curious about
them.
Everyone admires them so much.
Jack said the other day that they
were the lovelicst limitations he had
ever seen. He make me wear them
on al occasions.
| wore them the other night to n
restaurant dinner and a man ut the
next table eyed me so much that
Jack told me he was going over to
punch his head u,..:i | called his at
tcrtion to the fact that the man was
not looking at me ~ al but ut my
beads.
THAT makes it worse" said Jack
and ] think he would have gone over
and jabbcd him if the man had not
paid his check and left.
Write me AL about the circumstan-
ccs Of their pu, chase. ! am sure
they were not originally purchased
in Thu country. '>sck says they were
probably made to initiate a string of
real pearls who:.- owner did not
want always to wear ncr real stones.
He says they would be worth for
tune if they were real.

ADVENTUROUS
THE TWINS
By Olive Barton Roberts

The war in Bling Bang Land was
about over.
When the wooden soldiers rushed
in with General. Buttons at their
head and captured all the TIN sol
ders. Nancy and Mica were so sur
prised tLcy couldn't speak word at
first.
Then Nancy said, I'VE can't keep
our medals now, Nick. We must
give them back
"Why?" asked Colonel Stiff Leg.
"Well," explained Nancy, "we got
them from the tin soldier general be-
cause we had made a mistake. We
made Private Buttons into 4 general
when we were mending him. He
was only Private Buttons and we
thought he was General Gold Brad,
and we painted a silver star on his
shoulder and he isn't general at

Leg.

Can it be true?" asked Lieutenant

vate Ram Rod all together.
PrivateButtons hung his head. No
ne didn't either, his neck was too
stiff, but anyway he tried to.
Yes, it is true" he admitted. I'm
not General Gold Braid at all, only
Private Buttons, as Nancy says. We
wooden soldiers look so much alike
that when General Gold Braid and l
were getting our uniforms patched
up in the hospital, the Twins made
mistake and put the stars on my
shoulders. | was too happy to say
anything about it,"
well, what ofjit? We don't care.
You won the war for u.s." said
Colonel Stiff Leg kindly. I'VE shall
have two generals now. And !
agree that we owe it all to Nancy
and Nick. They may keep their
medals for distinguished service.
So everybody was happy again.

HOPE OF OIL
FIELD IN So. GEORGIA
State Geologist in Reviewing
Possibilities of Gas and Pc
troleum Is Pessimistic

ATLANTA, June 20.-S. W. Nc
Callie, state geologist, has issued
a booklet entitled Possibilities of
Petroleum and Natural Gas Pro-
duction in Georgia" In this he re-
views the situation and concludes
there is little possibility of finding
oil in commercial quantities in
Georgia where number of oil wells
are now being sunk, the statement
of the state geologist says:
''The formations in Georgia, as
now known, are not very promis-
ing for petroleum in commercial
quantities. 1t is of course true
that the formations may change
lithologically in areas yet INFESTED,
and may there be more favorable
as an oil source though from the
few fairly deep test wells this is
not to be expected. Over all but
the inland. limits of the Coastal
Plain of Georgia no formations
older than the lower part of the
Ripley have yet ben penetrated,
and it is therefore possible that
the underlying Eutaw or older for
nations, if present, may be Pc
troliferous. 1t is also even posi-
BILE that beenath the Tertiary and
Cretaceous in the southeastern
part of the Coastal Plain of Geor-
gia petroliferous Paeozoic strata
may exist, but this is only pos
sibility. If such formations were
present they would probably be too
deep to be reached by the drill, and
their value would lie in being a
source from which migration of
oil to higher horizons could take
place.
an view of the fact that pros
pecting will probably be done in
Georgia in the future, the writer's
feel that regionally the areas de-
scribed below offer relatively the
most hope for drilling. The struc-
tural map shows that slight struc-
tural highs exist, and there is the
possibility that these structures
may increase in magnitude with
depth. The most hopeful are as
follows, in order of Importance.
~ Along the slight structural
arch shown in The ThomasvilIe
area; (2) along the apparent crest
extending from Camilla through
Valdosta and thence east, south
east through the area between
Statewide and Thelma; 90 the
area roughly embraced by a line
drawn through the towns of Doug
las, Broxton, 0sierfield, and OcilIa;
