Properly Applied Geology

Udden Advises.

More than - business men met al
the st. Anthony Hotel Monday at noon
to discuss the organization OF a large
oil company which will buy leases, min.
eral rights and drill wells in proven oil
fields of Southwest Texas L. 5. Neal,
local oil man, has offered to head the
company. j 4. UddCn. director Of the
geological department If the University
Of Texas. was the principal speaker.
A portion of the territory south oil
San Antonio has not been worked by
biologists. DIR. Udden said. and it will
be several years before the work will
be necessary and biologists should be
employed to define the individual struc-
lures.
BY properly applying geology, an oil
company win have eliminated 80 per
cent of the failures in drilling for oil,
Dr. Uddcn told the business men.
=, One reason the State Geological De-
partment has not worked the southern
part of the state rs compared with
the northern part is that the federal
government is preparing a map which
will cover the area south and west of
San Antonio. The State Geological De-
partment will use this map for its in
vestigations, he said.
Possibilities of oil in Southwest Tex
as were discussed by DIR. Udden. He
described the geology of the territory
south and east of the BALCONIES Fault
and pointed out on map, the various
formations that have been found to
contain oil. He said he believes that
Southwest Texas offers many oppor.
tunitics for the oil man and that it in

QUAKE CENTER IN SEA
Mare Island Astronomer DOpes Out 10
cation From Press Reports.

San Francisco, Feb. 6.-PrOf. T. J.
!. Sec, government astronomer ct Mare
Island, in a statement today. said he
calculated from 4 study of press re.
ports that the great earthquage of last
Saturday was in the South Pacific
ocean near the Society Islands. Pro
fessOr Sec said no other location of the
disturbance was possible at distance
of 5000 miles from Manila. 5000 miles
from Honolulu, 400 miles from Chi
cagO, 5000 miles from Washington and
1900 miles from Berkeley, these being
distances deduced from seismograph
records OF tie temblOr.
Professor See said his studies led him
TO the conclusion that a submarine
mountain range was forming near the
Society Islands. All mountain ranges
are formed by the sea. through leakage
of the carth's crust and movement nf
the lava beneath, the government as

Got Quick Action,
Says Spillmall
The Omaha Bees Plan for
Gas Competition Praised
by Attorney General.

Lincoln, Aug. 14.-"The Omaha Bee
plan for reduction Of gasoline rates
as carried out by the Omaha Auto
mobile Trade association and the Au
tonobile club. is to my mind by far
the most effective method adopted at
any place in the gasoline fight.
"It is far better than vague threats
imputations and numerous statements
which do anything but produce di
rect action
This was a statement issued today
by Attorney General o. S. Spillman
in connection with the gasoline wal
as it was fought in Nebraska and won
by the consumers when the price OF
commercial gasoline was cut to is Ia
cents a gallon.
Oror several weeks, while Governor
Bryan was on vacation, Attorney
General Spillman has been working
quietly, gathering evidence on which
to base suit against oil companies
for price fixing, under the Junkir
act. The governors absence, how
ever, delayed action.
1.-THE fact that gasoline sold and
cents less in South Dakota than in
Nebraska, where the freight rate was
lower, makes everyone believe that
oil companies manipulated prices, but
to gather this evidence is a differ
cnt proposition" Spillman said.

Coolidge never had a maid in her life.
Imagine how she'll feel when Mrs.
Jaffray, the housekeeper OF the ex.
ecutive mansion, lines up 25 servants
and presents them to her.
1t is going to be a great experience
for the Coolidges-taking possession
Of the White House. For Is years
they have lived in a place that rents
for $50 a month. Now they are going
to a mansion of greatness.
Almost every one knows something
of the public rooms of the White
House-the huge reception hall. the
parlors, red blue. and green-the
famed china closet, the ante1rooms
where Tom, Dick and Harry cool
their heels. and the East room-the
room where three daughters of presi-
dents were married-Nellie Grant,
Alice Roosevelt. and Jessie Wilson. The
room where lay three dead presidents

Washington, Aug. 14.-This is re-

joke that President Calvin Coolidge

of the presidents scrapbooks:
"A man l knew wanted to run for
congress, so he went to his senator,
an old political warhorse, and asked
him how he should go about his task
of getting votes" related President
Coolidge.
"'Well,' said the senator. that's a
rural district in which you live. Tell
the people how you love the smell of
new mown hay and dwell little bit
on the old oaken bucket. Appeal to
them in that way
"The candidate decided to accept the
advice, so he began his first speech as
