 Al I can say" Clemenceau de- clared, lis that all the members of fhe peace conference had heated, Rnimated discussions frequently, but things never got to that point. am FurprIsed and astonished that steed should have written 1t. have known him for many years.
 But then, you know" added the 'Tiger," chucklinG. His state of mind Is rather agitated. I hear he was in Geneva Tor the, last League bf Nations assembly.

 Aluminium Is the foundation of duralumin, the metal bones of mo- dern lighter-than-a sky cruisers" says a bulletin of the National Geo. graphic society from headquarters at Washington, D. C.

 Iron, copper. tin, zinc and lead did service to man earlier than the birth of Christ. Aluminium will be only 100 years old in. 1927.' Seventy years ago aluminium sold for s7 an ounce and was advertised as silver from clay Even the 1900 tons pro- duced in 1900 must be multiplied 25 times to approach last years total, while the silver of the sixties sells now for two cents an ounce.

circumstances leading up to Morris
cites injury, and LeClair, who had
been taken into custody as the re-
suit of the probe conducted by
County Attorney Sanborn, admitted
to the officers that he had struck
Morrisette down.
1t was reported from the Augusta
General Hospital Monday. that Nor
risette was a little better, though suf-
fering from badly battered eyes, and
4 severe wound on his scalp. He
was believed to be out of danger.

was the only witness for the State
at the hearing yesterday morning.
and recountered the circumstances
of the finding of the beaten and
bruised man, and of the investiga-
ton leading up to LeClair's con-

Drilling in Zero Weather
For Oil Far From Funny

San Francisco, April % GA. PO-
/ Cd all the difficult jobs of drilling
| for oil undertaken by the Standard
| Oil Company of California in this
! country and in foreign lands, the
| hardest ever attempted is the we'll
| being sunk back of Portage Bay,
Alaska, it was explained recently at
| the company's executive office here.
| The crew drilling in Alaska has
encountered innumerable difficulties
during the year that operations have
! been under way. The hole has been
driven through solid rock, a sand
! stone Formation 50 hard that at
times it has turned the edge OF steel
I and required repairs in the drill.
: Inch by inch the unyielding sub
! stance has been pierced. Some
! days the progress was not more than
| five or six feet. The end of the
year, in March. found the hole 1,405
| feet deep, with the sandstone
,, persistinS.
There can be no chance for oil
until the rock is pierced. The COM
| pany's biologists, on whose recon-
mcndation the spot was selected for
! drilling, declared it was the longest
stretch OF hard formation that they
ever had encountered.
, Frequent delays have been caused
| by the exceptional severity of the
! winter. Temperatures of "a below
zero have been encountered. Often
, it was necessary to thaW out the
pipe lines to the boilers.
The company of drillers, sent from
San Francisco, reached Alaska in
| the summer of 1922, carrying all the
equipment for drilling and making a
camp. Portage Bay. where the
party landed, is a wilderness with
out a settlement. The place selected
for the we'll was II miles inland. To
| haul the apparatus it was necessary
to build road crossing two
mountain ranges and several miles
of swmpy ground. So difficult was
the task that actual drilling could
not be started until the following
! March.
The region, which has been sub
Jccted TO something of a stampede
, because of the hope that oil would
be struck, is known as the Cold Bay
Oil District, though the oil still is
( hypothetical. The. little town of
Kanatak has sprung up not far from
the Standard Oil Companys opera
+ tions.
Owing to the severity of the win
| ter, the Califorians were without
, mail from october to January. With
"A high powered wireless station near
the drilling rig. however, the men
I were in constant communication
with the outside world. Broadcast
programs are picked up there from
points as far distant as San Francis
CO.
The Alaskan operations are part Of
the general quest for new oil fields
which has taken the company's geo
logists and drillers into Columbia
Ecuador. Argentina and the Philip
pines.
We are anticipating the time
when our producing wells will be
exhausted" explained an official
New petroleum fields must be de-
velopcd."
