OIL BEARING SANDS OF
COLORADO AND WYOMING

Nearly every thick bed of sand
stone in the great Cretaceous system
of the West seems to contain oil at
some locality, but the exact number
of these beds, the region in which
each produces oil, and the identity
and the photographic position of
each have not yet been fully deter
mined.
A recent brief report issued by the
Department of the Interior as Bull
letin 751-A Of the Geological Survey
entitled Continuity of some oil-bear-
ing sands of Colorado and Wyoming
by w. T. Lee, deals with the correla-
ton of rocks in the lower part of the
Cretaceous system in Colorado and
Wyoming, and with the bearing of
this correlation on the discovery of
oil and gas. These beds have here
tofore been known by diverse names,
The Winslow mail. (Winslow, Ariz.) 1893-1926, 1923-05-25

and in this report an attempt is
made to show their continuity
through areas where they have been
thus differently named. This iden-
LITIGATION of the beds furnishes to oil
men a better basis for study and
drilling. For example, the knowled-
ge that bed sandstone which is
known in some regions as the Dako-
ia is in others known as the Muddy
sand and that it overlies other beds
of sandstone that may be oil bear
ing is of obvious practical value to
the oil driller.

Here's a Helpful
Gear Shift Hint
That Saves Woe

After paying many repair iblls,
caused by members Of my family
showing the shift lever into reverse
while trying to reach intermediate,
| finally solved the problem by
cutting a piece of one-inch board
and fastening it to the froE; board
with T.hinge. When this board
is down it will prevent the shift
lever from being thrown into re-
verse.
The board should be placed SO
that it will not interfere with lever
being thrown into intermediate. The
block should be cut so that it will
lean down little at the back and
so that the lever cannot knock it
upwards. When the driver wishes
to reverse, he can easily and quick
" hit the board with MS foot, shov-
ing it down again before going
ahead.
The above plan will work on the
majority of ears where the Shift
into reverse is forward. Some ears
are provided with Il latch which
prevents shifting into reverse with
out releasing the lock, bu. for the
many ears that have not this pro
vision, this arrangement may save
n lot of trouble-AutOmobilc Di-

OAKLAND MAKES
GOOD ECONO NY
RUN RECORDS
Leads Its Competitors
In Low Fuel
Contests

The Oakland has made a clean
sweep Of every economy run held
in Southern California in the last
two years and III every event it has
increased the margins by which it
has defeated its competitors.
In the 1922 Yosemite economy run
it captured its class cup by a com
Portable average, but in the sweep
stakes, the percentage was very
slight. That was the first attempt
of the Oakland to win laurels in
open economy events and it had
lots to learn and time has shown
that it has profited we'll by its ex-
perience, for in August Of 1922, the
Oakland entered the San Diego to
FL Centre and return economy run
and annexed both the class cup
and the Sweepstakes cup for that
run. The San Diego to El Centre
run was made with tops up yet the
Oakland in the 245 mile stingy
iaunt averaged 40.39 miles to a
gallon of gasoline. This was more
than ten miles to the gallon better
than it had done in the Yosemite
Economy event Of that year.
Fine a, Big Feature
Time was also very important
feature Of the FL Centre run and
a high rate Of speed was necessary
in order to make the controls at
each end of the hard trip. AS
economy cannot be reached at it's
maximum point at high speed the
averages were appreciably less than
would have otherwise been the case.
No oil5 was consumed by the Oak
land in either the first Yosemite
Run or in the El Centre event.
This proved that Oakland s $4,000
mile guarantee against oil pumping
was a safe bet for the factory.
The consumption of only half a
pint Of water in the run to Impe-
rial valley under the terrific heat
was considered almost impossible
and performance was exceeded only
by one other entrant and that was
an air cooled ear.
"A review of the past victories
of the Oakland only serves TO-
strengthen our conviction that this
car and no other should win the
Yosemite Classic in such a decisive
fashion," says Chas. d. Mcrrilis, Ell
Centre Oakland dealer.
"By breaking all existing world S
records for economy the Oakland,
demonstrated that truth in adver-
tising could be substantiatsd and
that claims to economy champion
ships based upon suppositfon were
mere false claims that would fail Of
their own shortcomings.

CALF. HIGHWAY
EXPERTS STUDY
ROAD BED SOIL
By R. M. MORTON,
State Highway Engineer

SACRAMENTO, Cal, July IL
Convinced that there exists n great
deal of valuable data with relation
to subgrades and foundations which
has all important influence upon
the permanency Of the pavements
built in California, the engineers of
the California Highway Commission
are undertaking a systematic study
of foundations under existing pave
ments.
The investigation already begun
is being made with particular
reference to the character of the
soil used in building grades, and in
forming subgrades for existing pave
ments. Many instances exist on
the completed portions Of the State
Highway System where sections of
light pavement have served traffic
with a high decree of efficiency
with small maintenance expenditure,
and many such sections give prom
Use of additional years of usefull-
ness. On other sections where diff
fercnt soil types are present the
pavements have failed, TO the an
noyanee of traffic, and are unsat-
isfactOry even under large main
tcnance expense.
The general methods pursued in
this investigation will be to obtain
samples of soil from beneath pave
mcnts which have proven satisfac-
tory, also to secure other samples
from location where pavements have
failed.
At the laboratory of the CalifOr-
MIA Highway Commission, tests will
be made Of the samples obtained to
determine the sand content and
the clay content of the soil; its
ratio of shrinking and swelling
upon being subjected to various
degrees of moisture; its capillary
attraction for underground water
and its bearing power under various
conditions of moisture.
The analysis of many hundred
samples of soil which are found to
be suitable in their properties as
foundations for pavements should
enable the engineers to judge be
forehand whether the soil will make
stable foundation. The engin-
GERS will then be in better posi-
tion to design their future construc-
tion. Too little attention has been
given in the past by highway en-
gineers to the character of soils en-
countered, but after such a study
of existing conditions is completed,
there should be in the future little
excuse for not taking precautionary
measures.
