powdered Delatone and water and
spread on hairy surface. After 2
or minutes, rub 1t off, wash the

water trapping underground oil that probably never will be recovered. Water in an oil well so increases lift ing costs that many wells aye aban-
 loned before the normal recovery of oil and gas is obtained.
 Corrosive waters attack casing and eventually eat holes in it. Operators in the Kansas Eldorado field alone eX- pend thousands of dollars annually replacing easing, tubing. sucker rods and other equipment so destroyed.
 Although "blow-outs' and wild wells" were formerly the greatest fac tors in the loss, modern equipment has made it easier to muzzle the un- checked flows. The old practice Of allowing "gushers" to waste oil and gas unchecked until the force either was stopped by caee-ins or decreased an appreciable amount, has been done away with. but not before millions of dollars worth of the natural resources were lost. In the early days of the Gushing Field in Oklahoma. in 1912 and 1913. it is estimated 100000. 444 feet of gas were wasted daily. Large flowing wells which produced from 1 .000. .dn0 to 10.00000 cubic feet of gas daily were allowed to flow. the til recently no use was made of gas

 Production of gasoline from natural gas was started in 1904 and while the amount recovered has increased by leaps and bounds yearly. it was esti mated that since that year at least D. 500. .000000 gallons of gasoline have been wasted, or twice the amount re- covered. More than 25.000.000 gall Ions of gasoline must have been lost in the Hewitt fleid. in Oklahoma. alone, during this time. From 20,000,000 to 4o.00O.000 gallons were lost in the FL dorado field
 Emulsions with water cause an- other loss. Engineers estimate the production of ''cut" oil in the Mid Ciatinent and Gulf Coast fields in 1920 and 1921 at about 100, 1000. .000 barrels. while half of this was lost at an estimated waste of s100, ,000,0 900.

Berlin, Nov. 23.-The warm weather reported from the Arctic regions is not to- be taken seriously, according to Prof Karl Kassner, of the Berlin Meteorological Institute. A hot wave hits the North Pole about every B years. and this is the time it is due. The climate does not really change. Warmer weather comes in cycles, and history is merely repeat ing itself. Antics of the sun are sup posed to be responsible for the changes which come in the Arctic regions, as well as elsewhere in the world.

DENY CLIMATE IS CHANGING

ment Of Agriculture Combat
Rather Widespread Idea.

The fact that the past two years
have been unusually mild in most
parts of the United States has led to
considerable discussion as to whether
this portion Of the earth Is undergo
ing general change Of climate. The
weather bureau. United States De
partment of Agriculture. sAys, how
ever, that records can be furnished
which disprove this idea. Periods have
occurred in the past and will occur
again, when for a few years, the
weather has seemed or will seem to be
noticeably warmer or colder than the
average.
While there are well-recognized
alterations In climatic conditions, as
Of wet and dry, hot and cold. ETC.,
little Is known with regard to definite
laws of sequence Of weather conditions
over extended periods of years. With
In ordinary historic times there Is
practically no evidence that there has
been a definite and progressive change
In the climate in one direction or the
other, but rather that the same sort OF
alterations are now succeeding each
other indefinitely. as in earlier his

With the establishment of perma-
nent orthopedic clinic at Easton, to be-
visited by Baltimore specialists al
least once month, plans are under
way to "dot" the Eastern Shore with
similar clinics for the treatment of
crippled children and adults.
DR.. William S. Baer, orthopedic
specialist at Johns Hopkins Hospital,
superintendent of the Hospital for.
Crippled Children and one of the
most prominent surgeons in the coun-
try, recently visited Easton and spent
the day there examining cripplcs
from all points on the. Shore, round
ed up by Public Health nurses under
n IS Lydia Martin, chief of the State
Public Health Nurses.
Patients from Caroline, Queen
Anne's and Talbot counties focked to
the clinic, he said. Many of these
cripples unable to walk since 1911,
when the epidemic of infantile paraly-
sis swept the country. Many of the
cases he saw were far ;, from being
hopeless, he declared, and all that
was necessary for permanent cures
in some instances was proper super
ision and regular treatment. It was
with this in view, he continued, that
the State Department of Health de-
cided to institute clinics all over the
Eastern Shore. ~
He told of woman he examined
who had not walked since 1914, when
she was stricken with infantile pa
ralysis. Her family physician, she
declared, said her crippled condition
was Of different character and that
it was impossible for her to walk a.
gain. She was taken to the clinic at
E.aston from country locality $50
miles away. DR.. Baer said she had
linfantile paralysis, and added that
her condition was. not hopeless, and
that with proper treatment she had a
good chance of absolute cure.
Salisbury, Cambridge, Chestertown
nd St. Michaels are being considered
as possible locations for additional
clinics.
