PLAN FOR PRELIMINARY
SERVICES AT SHRINE

The first ceremony of the novena in
preparation for the celebration of the
newly established feast of Blessed
Teresa will be conducted tomorrow
evening at 1880 o'clock at the Ma
tionaI Shrine of the Little Flower in
the Mount Carmel Retreat House, 200
L street northeast.
The Carmelite Fathers and the
Franciscan Sisters of the Atonement
at the retreat house have received
thousands of requests from all sec
tions of the country for the inclusion
of the writer's petitions in the daily
prayers to Teresa during the novena.
The belief of church authorities that
the newly beatified nun will send to
her clients the shower of roses
which she promised on her deathbed
has aroused worldwide interest
among Catholics.
From various cities the Knights of
the Little Flower will conduct pill
grimages to the National Shrine of
the Little Flower at the retreat house
here on Teresa's newly created feast
day, September 80. and imposing cere-
monies will mark the celebration of
the day by the Carmelite Fathers.

ATLANTIC CITY, N j., September
21.-The unprecedented oil boom that
swept California during the past year
is over and from now on there will be
steady decline in production, S. A.
Guiberson, jr.. of the Southern Cali
fornia Oil Producers said today be-
fore the annual convention of the
National Petroleum Association.
The threatened shortage of gasoline
in 1922 advanced the price of crude
oil, led 10 many "wild-catting'
schemes and opened up three new
large oil fields in that state, Mr..
Guiberson asserted. The serious over
production that resulted is no longer
menacing the industry and that de-
cline in new wells has been so rapid
that the peak is past, he added.
The limits of the new big fields
are so well defined that it is pretty
safe to say that we need have no fear
of any new large productive areas"
he said. II predict a healthy condi-
ton in California in the next six or
eight months. with drawing on oil
storage. Within that time the Pacific
coast will absorb 100000 barrels

600 barrels daily to Atlantic, gulf and

Can you picture a portly. dignified
gentleman waddling down the aisle of
a sleeping car in a fiowered kimono and
berth?
Maybe it does sound a little too wild
to be true, but it is just that millenial
thing that Interstate Commerce Com
missioner Johnston B. Campbell is try
ing to accomplish in the interest of
travelling economy.
1t all started last week at an Inter
state Commerce Commission hearing
where representatives of the CONNER
ciai Travellers Association were gath
cred to complain of the IRRITATING and
obnoxious" surcharge on Pullman cars
that has been in effect since the war.
The company argued sadly but firmly
that you can't make human beings, par
ticularly men, who are the most numer-
GUS travellers, climb into upper berths.
And unless the cars can be operated at
full capacity, with uppers as well as
lowers brimming full, they couldn't af-
ford to remove the surcharge. They
were waiting, company officials said
dolefully, for some genius to come along
with design for sleeping cars that
had lower berths only-and no wasted
space. But they have been waiting for
long time.
To RevOIutionize Travel.
So now up steps Mr. Campbell with
| his idea for bloodless-or may be, for
the first few weeks, 1t will be bloody

| Why he wants to know, wouldn't it be
| fine idea to have dressing rooms for
men, just as the Pullmans now have for

sengers might retire for disrobing and
the donning of kimonos And the Pull
man officials, vaguely echoing his
'Why?" have promised to design such
cars. The plans and specifications will
be placed before the commission No
vember 13.
'It is the discomfort of getting ont
of ones clothes and back into them

Honor YankS.

Preliminary plans for the eXecu

March4, 1923. providing for the erec-
tion of suitable memorials to COM
memorate the services of American
forces in Europe, will be considered
by the American Battle Monuments
Commission, created by that act.
which held its first business meeting
at the War Department yesterday af
ternoon.
Gen. ]. J. Pershing. chief of staff.
is chairman of the commission. The
other members are: Senator David A.
Reed, Pennsylvania; Representative
John Philip Hill, Maryland; Col.
Thomas w. Miller, Delaware; Col. D.
John Markey, Maryland; Capt. r. G..
Woodside. Pennsylvania: Mrs. jose
phtne &. Bentley, Chicago, and Major
X. H. Price, general staff, U. S. "A.
Major Price is secretary and eXecu-
tive officer of the commission.
Under the law the commiS Ssion is to
select the places and designs of the
memorials, including works of archi-
lecture and art, in the American cem-
eteries of Europe and also have pho
tographs taken of the terrain of the
battlefields on which the forces of the
United States were actively engaged
with the enemy for fling in the per-
manent records of the War Depart
ment. Designs and materials for
these battle memorials are subject to
the approval of the National Commits
sion of Fine Arts before final accept
ance. The Battle Monuments Com
mission also viii cooperate with
American citizens, states, municfpali-
ties and associations desiring to erect
war memorials in Europe.

The commission is seriously ,handi-
capped in proceeding with it's work.
however. by the fact that it has no
funds at its disposal The act of
March last provided that the COM
missioners should serve without COM
pensation and their actual expenses
betrayed out of funds appropriated
for the purposes of this act"
So far, however, no such funds
have been appropriated. 1t is inti-
mated that not even the necessary
preliminary steps, such as an inspec-
tion of the European battlefields and
American cemeteries, can be under
taken until Congress makes provision
for meeting the expenses involved in
the general project. 1t is understood
that today'S meeting was devoted
mainly to the consideration of an
early report to Congress explaining
the difficulties in the way of execut-
ing the law.

gained l.55 pounds day; those with
equal parts raw bone, meal and ground
limestone, gained i.6l pounds per
day, a result not equaled when cost is
considered, by any any other lots.

Kidding Cattle of Horns

Preventing the growth Of horns on
cattle, says the United States Depart.
ment Of Agriculture, is much moro
satisfactory than cutting them later
and is much less painful to the animal.
The method OF prevention Is simple,
As soon as the budding horns Of the
calf can be felt as small buttons
they can be stopped by clipping the
hair over them and rubbing the spo:
with mOistened stick Of caustic pot
ash which has been wrapped with pa
per 10 protect the hands from burning
The caustic must not be moistened so
that It will run. for il will remove the
hair and cause unnecessary irritation.
4 spot about the size of a dime di-
reCtly over the button should BE-
made raw by rubbing with the caustle
stick. Calves must be protected from
rain to keep the caustic from running
over the face.
