Brief Bits of
Oil Field News

Now that the oil operators in the
Greater Luling Oil Fields have the as
surance that ready market will be
had for their oil, it is expected that
there will be keen activity in carry
ing on new development. The Magno-
liza company sent an announcement
from their offices early in the week
that will take care of all the oil that
can be produced at the posted price
of so cents a barrel. Facilities for
storing the oil have been made at the
big tank farm south of the city of
Luling and active work is going on in
getting their refinery in shape for
handling the oil. This plant embodies
all the features of a modern plant
and they will soon be shipping their
refined product to all parts Of the
country. Following this announce
ment, there are several North Texas
operators in Luling this week getting
blocks Of acreage lined up and making
arrangements to carry on a speedy de-
velopment. 1t is expected during the
next thirty days that there will be sew
eral new companies at work here.

A public radio broadcasting station,

tablished in Washington by the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company.

an association Of broadcasters Is be-
ing formed to put on programs of

This time" the company states
can be utilized for special occasions
and by persons in public life desiring
to avail themselves of the use of
broadcasting stations for speeches,
etc. Since government stations are
not available for such uses, it is felt
that there is a demand here in Wash
ington which the broadcasting sta
tion will f1ll"
This will be the second Bell sys-
tenn broadcasting station in the coun-
try. The company promises that IL
will parallel in quality the well
known WEAF station in New York
city.
Will Broadcast New York Program.
In addition to broadcasting speeches
and music from Washington, the pro-
grams Of WEAF. including complete
musical performances in theaters.
Will be transmitted to Washington by
long distance telephone and broadca st
from the local telephone station.
The telephone engineers expert
ence in long distance telephone COM
munication particularly fits them for
the task of transmitting speeches and
music by radio. The technical prob
lens met in handling radio speech
currents are in many respects similar
to those in wire telephony. In fact.
the development of vacuum tubes for
telephone repeaters is largely re-
sponsible for the present advanced
state of radio, for those repeater
tubes are virtually the same as those
applied in radio"

TWO-YEAR-0LDB0Y
, YEARNS FOR HOME
Billy Parr at ChiIdren's Hos
pitaI Getting Well After
Hard Seige of Illness.

Unfortunate because he is parent
less; unfortunate because his two
years on this earth have been marked
by sickness, little BILLY Parr"-as he
Is known-is waiting at Childrens
Hospital for some one to adopt him.
He's a little cotton-headed youngster
with big brown eyes contrasting with
a swans-down complexion.
Billy is wise with the wisdom that
the first two years of life bring. He
Is not wise enough, however. to know
that he is one of life'S unfortunates
If YOU teld him that he had been born
at the Florence Crittenden Home, he
wouldn't know what you were talking
about. But it won't be long before
he'll understand and possibly twist
his life into continuous series OF
sorrow by that knowledge. For this
reason, the nurses at the Children s
Hospital are anxious that he be
adopted by some one who Will be
parent to him, and who VIII ward on
from him the knowledge that his
birth was under unfortunate circum-
stances.
Now Gaining Weight.
Billy got to Children's Hospital as
a result of stomach trouble which was
followed by disorders in the neighbor-
hood of his ears. The little fellow
was accustomed to look sagely up at
visitors and shake his head with a
slow motion from side to side as II
indicating: NO, no. no. That phase
of his life is over. He is gaining
weight, his ear trouble is cured-and
the symptomatic head shaking has
stopped-and he looks at every visitor
10 ward b of the hospital as though
wondering whether there1l come a
day when some man or woman Will
take him home. He hears children
doesn't understand what they mean.
He can just barely talk himself ana
the light of language is just begin-
ming to send it's first beams into ms
mind. He's learned lots of names, nu.
never has he learned the word home.
Fond of Kindly Woman.
Billy is particularly fond Of one
woman who visits the hospital often.
She always pays a great deal or at
tention to him. He seems to know
that she is interested in his case. He
should know from the courtesles eX-
cially prominent. Some day he may
realize that Mrs. Thomas r. Marshall
wife of the former Vice President OF
the United states, was the woman
who took probably the deepest inter
est in the case of any who visited the
hospital.
Rilly's case is another type of those
handled in Children's Hospital. he
another member of the family or
Youngsters who are mutely appealing
for the Washington public to support
the base ball game for the benefit OF
the institution on June 2S for which
tickets are being sold by committee
of local society matrons headed by
Mrs ReeinaI r. Walker and Mrs. W.
7. Flather. The hospital needs funds
to care for youngsters like Billy in
the future. and also to care for Billy
himself after May /, when the con-
.,~,, 90 n
the present fiscal year will have been
expended entirely.
