CASSER AT WHITSETT
Harkey's No: Herring Making
1000, 900 Feet With Tools in Hole.

The No. I Herring of the Harkey
Oil Corporation, near Whitsett. in
Live Oak county, is reported to have
blown in late Monday with the drill
stem in the hole. making between q
100000 and 100000 cubic feet Of
gas. The well is making compar-
atively small amount of oil. 1t is only
40 feet deep. according to Claude
McCauley of this city, official of the
company.
Blowing in Monday evening with
the tools in the hole at an approxi-
mate depth of 410 feet. the No. 1
Herring is said to be one Of the
largest gassers in Live Oak county.
The hole is said TO be full of mud,
but in spite of its weight as well as
that of the mud. drillers have esti-
mated the tremendous gas pressure at
between 100000 and 10,000.000 Gu
bic feet. The well at present is said
to be making easily 100000 cubi"
feet of gas and it is believed that
when the hole is cleaned that the pres-
sure will increase greatly.

The number OF .childrc W can be

at the outside, as there is formal
routine record to be written as well as
the medical Examination to be made.
For this reason the mothers are asked
to bring their babies in groups under
the direction of the community center
in which the family lives. and special
days of the conference. are assign TO
each center. The international In

Catholic Community House groups
were listed for Tuesday: children from
the House of Neighborly Service for

for Thursday, and from t. Mexican

Many Are Undernourished.
While no formal statistics have been
gathered, the impression seems Ia be
that about three out of i.;e children
are anemic and an important part
of the conference is the display of suit
able meals for children ranging from
two to five years of age, planned by
Miss Emma Pirie, head of the Home
Economic Department of the public
schools, and prepared by thu girls in
the cooking classes of the Main Ave
nue. High School.
A days food that will meet all the
needs of 2-year-old child is attract
lively displayed, and contains the fol-
lowing items: breakfast: oatmeal,
milk, orange juice and buttered toast:
dinner, strained soup, eggs or a small
piece of meat, cup-custard and milk;
supper, rice. baked apple and milk. For
5-year-old child, the menu shown is
practically the same thing in slightly
larger quantities, and the addition of
vegetables like spinach, and more
cooked fruit.
One of the features that attracts
much attention from visiting mothers,
is the series of posters, issued by the
university extension department. giving
instruction in an illustrated form of
many 'don'ts" to be regarded in the
care of children. Posters illustrating
proper breathing. bathing. feeding,
sleeping. care of the teeth. how to de-
tect adenoids. why children should
stand correctly, the importance of
keeping food sanitary. and many others
are of such nature as to demand atten-
ton. and are so clear in their meaning
that the services of an interpre" to
explain the text are scarcely needed.
The children are undressed, weighed
and measured by one Of the city
nurses. A few babies seem as interest
ed as the mothers. but as a rule the
tears begin with the undressing. each

houses follow IN the work of examina-
ton by seeing that the children are
taken regularly to the clinics. and that
the general advice in personal hygiene
and feeding arrangements are being fol-
lowed as closely as possible. A health
certificate is given by the state de-
partment when a certain degree of i'm
provement is recorded. and these certif-
icates are a source of much pride to
the parents. Miss Frances Scott. gen.
eral secretary Of the International In
stitute, says that if 10 more than 10
per cent of the children brought to the
health conference each year are bene-
fitted and improved, the work win be
far more than merely worth while"
Results so far, in the several ears the
conference has been held. show a far
higher percentage of improvement.

LONG KNOWN AS THE
DAY OF HEARTS

''For this was on seynt Valentines
day. Whan every bird cometh Their to
chose his mate. Chaucer.
The old notion was that birds be-,
gan to choose their mates In Febru-
AIRY. Then Marcus Aurelius Flavius
Claudius had a bishop of the church
put to death on IA February, seventeen
hundred and fifty-two years ago. The
bishop became a martyr and saint
and because his name was Valentinus-
February IA became his day, st. Val
entine's day.
1t is easy to find some satirical sig
nificance in the superposition on the
calendar of these days, the bishops
and the birds. 1t takes something Of
the courage of a Christian martyr to
publicly choose mate. They used to
draw lots on ST. Valentines eve, the
young men and the young women
gathered together, making merry. And
it is safe to suppose that when
young man was not pleased with his
lot, he made sarcastic remarks, until

gerated the crossed eyes or the
straight hair or the ugly expression
of the unloved one. Having vented
his own wrath, he could then show 1t
to her, thus spelling the evening for
both of them, but possibly satisfying
the "grouch" that at some seasons af-
flicts even lovers.
It's fortunate thing that the people
who start customs which are to last
until the planet cools, have no notion
of what they are starting. Fancy poor
old Valentines dismay as he assembled,
10 the stake, if he had realized that his
name would be taken in vain by every
young man making afnorous advances
to young woman along in the early
spring-'T am your valentine" not
knowing that what he was really say
ing was, Il am your martyr" And
those Chaucerian boys and girls, meet
ing to choose Valentines-fancy the
irritated one with a talent for draw
ing suddenly seeing himself at the
head of long line of ungallant youths,
his effort at satire the forerunner Of
all the ugly comics that ever made a
maiden blush or matron lose her
temper.
But it might have made the sweet
souled youth bit SNUG when he en-
closed his undying affection in gilt
and lace and wrapped it in sweet
scented fern, to look down the years
ahead of him at the truck loads, the
car loads, the factories built to pro-
duce just such lace and gilt and silver

beautiful because 1t frequently Is

ST. Valentine.

"The Catholic Encyclopedia" tells
US that at least three different st. Val
entines, all of them martyrs, are men
toned in the early martyrologies I'M
der the date of February a. One is
described as a priest at Rome another
as Bishop of Interamnia (the modern
TernD, and these two seem both to
have suffered in the second half of
the Third century, and to have been
buried on the Flamenian Way, but at
different distances from the city Of
Rome. OF both of these st. Valen-
tines some sort of Acta are preserved
but they are of relatively late date
and of no historical value OF the
