Names OF 1900 girls are on our

In four years only one bowlegged

NEW YORK-There are fewer

man who picks chorus girls, say It's
a fact. The former is talking about
babies, and the latter about ladies'

DR.. Asa b. Davis, chief surgeon of
the Lying-In-H Hospital. said he found
in records of the babies class that
there are constantly fewer bowlegged
babies among the 1000 or more ex-
amined every week.
John Murray Anderson, producer
of the Greenwich Village Follies.
says scarcely one girl in so out OF
the 500 or more applicants he sees
yearly is bowlegged.
People used to think a child be-

Davis. The real cause is malnutri-

field, is around the 2260 foot depth
and for the last forty-eight hours has
been having gas trouble, the drill hav-
ing entered gas sand at about 224O,
and at times has been almost uncon-
trollable even in the hands of such ex-
perienced men as are employed by this
company.
Efforts have been made by the local
gas company to have the well turned
into gasser, as it is a very high grade
gas, odorless and of very high test.
very similar to the gas that is now
being used by the city, coming from
the Kleberg County company's No.
1. and which has been furnishing gas
for the past three years. The Hum
bic company believes that it is in an
oil field and has given orders TO pro
coed downward with the test. As this
well is considerably south and west
of the present gasser that is supplying
the town, the field is thus extended
at least one-half mile in that direc-
ton. HUMBLE No. 1, which has been

DEEP TEST IS SET
Leaseholders Commands Interest OF
Miranda Oil Men.

Miranda City, Tex, Sept. 15.-
The Lcaseholders Producing x Rein
ing company has set casing in its deep
test in the Leaseholders pool of Webb
county. This well is an offset to the
discovery well and is located on Sur
yey 10 of the Gates-Kirkpatrick
ranch Of Webb county. The casing
is set in cement at depth of 2240
feet. Eight inch casing was set on ac-
count of this well, the No. q, being
a deep test and is contracted to be
drilled TO 300 feet if necessary to
get production.
At 1852 to 1071 feet a rich oil sand
was cored in this hole and at 100 feet
a heavy gas sand was cored which
the company says would have made a
heavy gasser. Another oil sand is
looked for around 2300 feet and
around 200 feet. This is one of the
most interesting tests in the field and
Geologist Frank Campbell is looking
forward to bringing in q good pro-
Queer from the deeper sands.
The .Cin-Tex. No. . drilling east OF
the escarpment on Block so of the
Oiuelos Grant of Webb county in the
Mid Oquelos structure has experienced
some hard drilling for the past few
days. At 1900 feet a hard rock was
struck and lasted for So feet. This
rock was of a broken formation with
hard pack sand interlining and the
drilling was slow.

DRILL AT DELHI
Deep Test on Edge Of Caldwell
County to BE Made Shortly.

Locishart, Tex, Sept. ia report
that will give general satisfaction,
both to Lockhart as well as other
towns of Caldwell county, is that
derrick with mtchinery for going to a
depth of 5000 feet if necessary will be
erected within the next ten days in
the extreme edge of Caldwell county
in the neighborhood of Delhi.
A well was drilled here several
years ago to a depth OF 500 feet by
Porch and associates of San Antonio.
and n good stratum of oil was picked
up at 741 feet. The oil was in guam
titles to secure n sample and quite
bit of excitement was aroused at the
time. The petroleum gas which is
found in this section at from % to
100 feet burns freely for hours. The
Delhi section of Caldwell county has
for years been favorably looked
upon.
