ENGINEERS HEAR
TWO GOOD TALKS
N. A. S. E. Enjoys Illustrat.
ed Lectures by Oil En-
gineer Experts.
HOW OIL IS REFINED

! A most interesting talk and smoker
was enjoyed last evening by the Ma
tional Association of Stationary En-
gineers No. 6, at the Modern Wood
man hall. Professor Shayne, Milwau-
kee, of the technical staff of one of
the leading oil companies gave an alb
sorbingly interesting lecture llustrat-
ed with stereopticon views. He gave
the history Of petroleum from its ear
lest discovery 1000 B. C. to the pres
ent. He spoke Of now the Egyptians
filled dead bodies with asphaltum,
and how the Chinese were first to
have oil wells.
"The American Indians used seneca
oil as medicine" continued the speak
er, "and later a druggist of Pennsyl-
vania named Kear used oil as medf-
cine and then oil from coal for IL
Illuminating purposes"
First Oil Company.
"In 1854" said Professor Shayne,
"two New York lawyers formed COM
pany to skim oil from surface pools
and creeks. But it remained for Mr..
Drake to drill first oil we'll in America
and to combat the difficulties Of trans
porting it by teams and boats. In 1862
the first pipe line was laid two and
one-half miles long, but it was de-
stroyed by teamsters, fearing the loss
of their jobs, hauling OIL
"The first Successful pipe line laid
in 1866 was four miles long, and to-
day more than 10000 miles of pipe line
run throughout the oil country. In
1922, 451 million barrels of petroleum
were produced and one half million
barrels pumped daily through the pipe
lines. The railroads could not carry
all the oil in year that flows through
these lines. Some biologists claim
that petroleum is limited in supply
but the practical oil men are more
optimistic.
Malchow Speaks on Refneries.
H. J. Malchow, also of Milwaukee,
and an expert in oil engineering, spoke
at length on refneries and views were
shown on the screen. The crude oil
stills for distilling and condensing
different grades of oil, were shown
as we'll as views of the Burton stills
for other grades of oil, heated by coal
fires and the pressure stills where the
oil was brought to 875 degrees Fahren-
heit. "In the steam hills, stones are
heated by steam for the finer oils"
said Mr.. Malchow. 'In the filters and
adjusters for chemically treating the
oil, all show the immense equipment
required to produce oil of today. In
the pressure stills the residue is Pc
troleum coke, which is baked on the
inside of the STILL The men have to
go into these steel boilers to break
and shovel out this petroleum coke at
200 degrees temperature. A man can
only work about four minutes at a
stretch, and then another takes his
place"
The remainder of the evening, after
the talks, was given over to asking
questions about fabrication by the
different engineers and discussing
them with the experts. The evening
proved to a most educational one for
the engineers and that. is the main pur-
pose of the N. A. S. E. Chester Dibble
of the local Oil company made some
interesting remarks. President Mar
tin Larson introduced the speakers
of the evening.

BUILD HOME FOR AGED.
Milwaukee Diocese of Episcopal Church
Seeks Fund of $125.OOO.

Seeks Fund of $125,000.
The Milwaukee Episcopal diocese.
which includes Kenosha in it's terri
tory, which embraces about one-half of
the state of Wisconsin, is entering a
campaign for $125 900 to provide new
building for st. Johns Home for Aged
Churchwomen.
The present building, which was put
up in 1877, has far exceeded its limita-
Aons and is now not only too small, but
I'D positively dangerous and would have
to be almost rebuilt to satisfy the
building authorities of Milwaukee, who
have an ample regard for the fire haz-
ards connected with an institution
which houses so many elderly women
who make it their permanent home.
A lot 40 by 1877 feet, just north of
the present building, has already been
purchased and with the present prop
erty forms an L shape lot which will
all be used for the new building. All
Saints cathedral, which owns the lot on
which the present building stands, has
offered the st. Johns home as its con-
tribution, 99-year lease at an annual
rental of 81 year. With the added
ground, the home will occupy about
double the ground it already does.
A general committee, headed by
Frederic G. Morehouse, has already
been formed, representative of the
laity throughout the Milwaukee diocese
and there will be local committees
formed in every center August H.
Vogel, we'll known throughout the state,
is president of the board of trustees.
A. H. Lance and Charles C. Brown of
Kenosha are members of the committee,
The Milwaukee campaign will begin
on May goth and that in the state on
May 9th. Further information as to
the campaign will be given through the
state press.
